johnbureezu Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I know there is one in Australia. Pretty clean swap but way involved! do a search for it, might find it. Quote Link to comment

sanitys Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 i did for a good half hour, some one on nico thinks it would work but other then that no dice anything can work, all you need is time and money :) It all depends how much you want to spend of each. If it were truely "easy" everyone would be swaping them. free bump, cant say ive seen this done. Quote Link to comment

Measure you wagon width... then go measure the S13 width. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 510 track is 50" while the S13's are 57.5", S14's are a little wider at around 59" I think. Using an S13 rear-end will require narrowing it a bit which looks doable, but there may be some unforeseen problems that will arise. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Anything can be done (or attempted),,,, The s13 rear subframe needs to be narrowed a lot to fit into a stockish wagon.... And it looks like the stock wagon floor needs to go :eek: The pics are from DGR fabrication,,, Look at the RB wagon project with this link: http://datsun510.com/photopost/showgallery.php?ppuser=170&cat=500 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Well it looks like he's tubing the rear in the last pic. That might have more to do with the rear floor being gone then the suspension. Quote Link to comment
freckles Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 my plan was to just get some flairs and and super positive offset wheels to keep it good and flush since its so much wider,,but thanks for the pictures, im going to look into this Quote Link to comment
