Has anyone ever tried to swap the suspension from a Z32 into their Z31 before?

A long time ago yes, in the rear that is, most people have chosen to use 240sx instead as it's narrower... to my knowledge no one has gone through the trouble of swapping in the z32 front onto a z31, but I have seen it on other cars.

Here's what I did on my racecar: http://responsetype.com/community/viewt ... p?f=4&t=10

If you are up for fabricating the forward mounts I'd think you can handle fabbing the rears as well.

70% of the work or more is the modification to the body, not the subframe mounting, but I sell those kits with the sleeves to take care of the parts that require machining, and leave the user to do the cutting and welding only...
