Thanks a lot everyone!! Its good to see some of the same people still around, I look forward to chatting.
Im trying to find information as to rear suspension parts, can anyone help? I need to know..

- Do Z31 rear sway bars fit directly?
- Do Z31 rear subframe bushes fit directly??(If not, what can I use where can I get them)
- What other rear suspension components from the Z31(or any other vehicle) can be used to improve the 12s handling?
- Are CA20 sway bars better/thicker/stronger than the CA18(ET)?
- Can S12 wheel bearings be tightened/come loose?(i've been told there is a nut that can be adjusted?? Is this right?)

Any help would be AWSOME! Cheers

Cool, thanks for that. Good to see S12 parts becoming available! Im not sure whether our dollar + shipping is gonna make a very attractive final price though. Still having some trouble finding info on these sites, maybe Im not searching right?, but there seems to be heaps of shit and not a whole lotta factual stuff. Can anyone answer the above Qs?
Thanks again

Hi  

Theres have been one or two people asking for detailed eng. pics - If you could post what exactly your after Ill do my best to snap some for you guys..

The 12s been pretty much living on the dyno atm. Currently held back by an exhaust leak at the manifold, but shes going pretty well. Had issues with boost stability and realised I had the wrong wastegate spring installed and it was climbing straight to factory boost cut. It sits at a stable 10psi now.

Am currently in the process of replacing all 4 wheel bearings, installing a new electric fan, relay in fuel pump, oil temp and press gauges and knock sensor.

Its the beginning of summer here in NZ so the plan is to prep her for paint. Its been a busy year..

Thanks man  

But now that I think about it, were the questions about your intercooler set-up? If they were they came from me.

Umai Naa

That's choice, bro!!

I love it.

Who cares if it's rough. It's a crusty old Datsun  

Top work!!

Drfsta

Cheers guys!

I had a mate help me wire in my gauges and complete the SAFC wiring today.
Does anyone know the ecu pinout for throttle position? and what air flow (%) the CA should read at idle?
