Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
Kudos to him for making a clean finished product. His fabrication and completing a project look great from here! would love to see the whole build, but I know I am not good at documenting sometimes.

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
Thx...I am interested. There may some camera angle issues but its seems that the suspension arms and camber angle are not close to stock. I took a full 4 inches off my sub-frame to have a good 2" stick out each side past the stock body panels. It's likely he doesen't have 10.5" wheels with...

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I am surprised they used S14 suspension. I thought it was even bigger than S13. At least I recall the rear shocks to be. I am not sure how it could be done with out major modification.

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I raised the drivers side (pictured ~0.5-1.") to see what the clearance for the stock fenders would look like. I think that lowered to what ride height should be would increase the caster angle slightly. This project is no where near roadworthy so I have not dialed it in just yet. I am more usi...

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
According to the highest tech harbor freight angle finder it is a little less than 5 degrees. I used blocks to load the suspension at ride height.

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
Both @icehouse and @byron510 brought up some very valid points which I didn't fully consider before. I do not know all the differences of the 510 and s13 geometry, but I do know that the s13 coilovers I bought bolt right up to the shock towers. Nissan/Datsun keeps engineering pretty standard over th...

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I am not %100 sure but it looks like the coilover is at the same angle as the shock tower bracing. I think the stock 510 LCA bolt on the backside of the cross member? So with the LCA in the center on the s13 cross member it might be close to stock caster angle. What do you think? And thanks for the ...

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
Cut out what was left of the firewall to let the engine slide back.

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I moved the cross member back a few inches to push the engine back even further. I put some plate on the top and bottom to beef it up

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I didn't like the position of the engine mounts on the modified skyline cross member. The engine sat too far forward and the weight distribution was really bad. I chopped up a s13 cross member and move the mounting pads back. I welded it up and forgot to take more pics before I installed it. So belo...

Re: S13 Suspension in a 510
I cut the wheel well opening to big before when I was going to use BRE flares. I had to patch the metal and then cut it to the right opening. next step is to make the flares out of metal like the other side of the car. 20190508_204713.jpg 20190508_205.jpg 20200530_122346.jpg 20200530_123252.jpg 2020...
