the other guys made some sort of doohicky that fixes the problem, me I just left it the way it is, and if it binds it binds. I will probably find a spare set of uprights and cut the mount off and re-weld them later!1uz Swapped, lowered, flaked out '86 z31

Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
The Q45 rear subframe is too wide, it's actually wider then a tt Z32 subframe.

This is basically what Iâm looking to do..
Was going to use the Q45 knuckles, Z32 struts, and see if the Q45 rucas are usable as they are half moon.

Thats good to hear.. I'm hoping to use most of the arms from the Q45 as the S13 sub frame i got as seen better days, but once i get into it I'll compare measurements between parts.. Now all i have to do is find that dam drivers side axle..Originally posted by badboyz31Kevin

Check Zilva when you choose to weld it, takes a serious Tig machine over 250 amps to weld that thick aluminum. You may be better off modding the shock tower87T, My build thread http://z31performance.com/forum/z31-…lee-s-87t-rb26 -

Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
You could weld it with a hobbyist machine, like a Miller 165/185. Or the Lincoln that Satan uses, it just means more, smaller passes instead of one large pass. Personally I feel more comfortable with bulding up multiple passes than one big hot pass…you want your weld to penetrate both work pcs evenly. If you were to cut your weld in half the penetration area should look like a circle for T joints, more spade like for butt joints.

Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
I actually think I found something the would really help with the angel of the mount as they replace the bushing with spherical ball joints! I'm gonna give them a try and see if they would help angle them better!

Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
It wouldn't help you, 240 guys have a tried that route, only way to solve this issue as I stated before. Is to either modify the upper shock mount, or cut and re-weld the rear lower mount. The advantage of running the z32 rear knuckle is weight saving of like 5lbs.badboyz31 wrote: I actually think I found something the would really help with the angel of the mount as they replace the bushing with spherical ball joints!

It's so much easier to just swap the bearing/hub, rear E-brake assembly into the rear 240 steel knuckle. Also is you ever choose to use the stance coil over kit for the z31 it uses the S Rear subframe lower mounting.87T, My build thread http://z31performance.com/forum/z31-…lee-s-87t-rb26 -

[quote]Spooledup300z wrote:oh ok, but as for the stance coils for the z31 you can still use them with the z32 uprights you just have to state that you want z32 lower mounts for the rear instead, I know this because 1sickZ used the stances with the z32 uprights on his z and never really ran into any problems! and I have the exact rearend from his car in my car, but I still will most likely pick up a spare set of z32 uprights and have the mounts rewelded, it would actually be cheaper for me that way cause I know people!Originally posted by badboyz311uz Swapped, lowered, flaked out '86 z31

Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
I tried to contact stance about the uprights and never heard back from them, so maybe they do sale them. Make sure whoever you know, is a good aluminum welder, this will require preheating and some deep root welds IMO. It has to take alot of abuse87T, My build thread http://z31performance.com/forum/z31-…lee-s-87t-rb26 -
Re: S13/S14/S15 Subframe Conversion Kit GB-STANCE MULTILINK!
yea i know a few guys who have been welding for 20+ years and are excellent aluminum welders, as for the the z32 uprights you can buy them from tougefactory just contact them and you can also buy the from frsport.com!1uz Swapped, lowered, flaked out '86 z31

Not really all that hard to make the z32 uprights to work, and yes…1sickz did have a issue with the bushings starting to tear on him…

from what I can tell the mounts are not torn at all, and this is the exact rear from his car, also I get the hammer shock tower part, but I'm just not getting the angle mounts!DMANN wrote: Not really all that hard to make the z32 uprights to work, and yes…1sickz did have a issue with the bushings starting to tear on him…
