More WIP images;


-Rear rideheight looks sweet to me, especially as the S12 shape demands "rake" (as the cool kids call it) but not actually set yet.


-Which brings me to the front. S13 arms, "S12" coilovers and a hybrid S13/14 chassis means mucho camber. Maybe too much, even for an occasional drifty.






-R32 GTR rims & Z32 Calipers. Basically the usual 5-stud S13 set-up. Calipers to be repainted.

Like the stance, mucho camber up front though.  Sadly your gonna have to live with it, with that offset.   LOL

Ha, yeah  but that's with S13 LCAs and S14 hubs. Colonel Custard's got some S12 arms to send over that should fix the problem.
As you may guess from the rear, the offset isn't that crazy. ET30, I think.

Strange.  What happened to your S-12 LCA's?  Does the S-12 LCA have to be mod'd? I did not see that in the Coilover thread.  LOL

No, I wanted the extra camber with the S13 LCAs but had anticipated about 2 or 3 degrees, not 6. Like a frickin' idiot I binned the stock arms long ago and they just don't exist over here.

I could probably get about 3 degrees as the BC topmounts are set about halfway but yeah, mild poke even with 6 so that would still be shit anyways.

Mine is starting to look a bit more complete so  I grabbed some pictures;







Still got a lot to do though. The brand new S12 LCAs I imported from America turned out to have slightly different balljoints and won't accept my S14 balljoints so that was £100 wasted. Also, with the S13 front arms and Z31 rears I now have a track width difference front to rear of 74mm. I doubt the Z31 arms have increased the track at all. I have 25mm spacers to go on the rear and some leads on Nissan S12 front arms which will bring the front together 20mm so it should all work out.

I also found S12 ARB brackets don't fit S14 tension rod brackets so I have S14 ARB mounts & bushes coming. Hopefully, with a custom exhaust and some mild paint tidying, this thing'll be finished. I'll be selling it soon as it's ready and road legal again.
