cardana24 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nice Maxima! I just picked one up the same color. Before you changed out your temp sender, what did you temp gauge show when the car warmed up? My car only goes up about 1/8 and never gets close to the middle like yours shows even after running for half an hour. Just curious. Also if you come across another center console in good shape and are willing to ship it across the country I could really use one. Also, in post 44 you mention getting new wheels (I cannot see any of your pictures except for the few more recent ones) but they rubbed. What size and offset are the wheels you got and what size tires are you running. Did you fix the rubbing? Were the rubbing the fenders or suspension? Quote Link to comment

captaingamez Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 those look like 240sx parts...... Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yup. Doing s13 coilovers Quote Link to comment
cardana24 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yup. Doing s13 coilovers Is there a write up somewhere outlining the parts we need to run S13 suspension? Do you convert both the front and rear or just the front to be able to use s13 coilovers? What year rang 240 can we use the parts from? Quote Link to comment

The rear s13 coilovers bolt right up to maxima, just swap top mounts. The fronts require front s13 spindle, lca, tie rods,and brakes (rotars, calipers, brake lines). I believe that's it Quote Link to comment

There was one at the junkyard that I was at two weeks ago but I was not sure what I needed so I did not take anything. What is the reason to swap to s13 suspension as opposed to using stuff made for the 280z that will already fit our car? More options or is it safer to go lower on 240 stuff? Just curious, thanks.

captaingamez Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 The front also requires a custom tension rod. You will have to have one made or modified. The S13 components are better because there are hundreds of coil overs available. The S13 design I much better tho. 1 Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, exactly what captaingamez said. I can't find decently priced s13 coilovers anywhere local.. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Damn that sucks, Its hit or miss here too with S chassis stuff. I have a few really good ideas for custom front tension rod setups that would be fairly cheap to produce. Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So I'm getting s13 tein tc rods and inner/outer tie rods for coil over conversion. My question to those who have done the s13 coilover conversion on the 910s, how did you get either of them to fit to from the 910 chassis to s13 lca? The tc rod design looks different from the 910 one to mount to the chassis? Quote Link to comment
