mcbuggin Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 has anyone done a irs swap into there 320 if so what irs did they use? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Not on the 320 that I know of but here's one on a 510 goon. The 320 would be similar. A lot of work for questionable gains but high on the wow factor.http://community.ratsun.net/topic/13067-70-wagon-irs-swap-project/ 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 IRS from what would be the question.. ive seen a few old truckin articles about putting 510 IRS in a 620 and a 521 or somethin... theres a few guys that have swapped 240sx rear subframe into 620 and 521 frames too.. blackdeath666 on here currently has a 521 with 510 IRS. heres a direct link to that build... might help ya out.. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/36519-my-521-down-in-the-lab/?p=827284 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 > a 510 goon. The 320 would be similar How so? 320 is a full frame vehicle, 510 is unibody. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 IRS will make a HUGE difference for a 320. Converting the rear from the 1/2-ton suspension to independent will make it ride like a car. An old car maybe, but much smoother than the heavy duty components that 320s come with.

miss grease monkey Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I am currently doing mine at the moment, to a 180sx rear assembly Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 180SX is model RS13 which is abundant here sold as 240SX hatchback. Can't wait to see how the conversion progresses. Are you going to flare the 320 or narrow the IRS? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 There was one in town a couple of years ago. RHD 180sx. As the importation car must be 15 years old here, I believe, and this was around 2010-ish this was likely pre '95. So likely an CA18DET. Could never find the guy near his car to ask. Gone now...

mcbuggin Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 ggzilla i'm going to assume it's narrow the rearend rather than widen the 320 Quote Link to comment

mcbuggin Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 jrock that is what i'd be trying to do Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 If you use IRS from 510 or 610 (180B) it is already narrow enough. S13 is much wider. Quote Link to comment
