TyCity Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 My name is Ty, and I wanted a 280z... Looking through craigslist I came a across a "Nissan 810 Parts Car $400" in a small town called Burkburnett the ad had one picture I saw past the sketchyness of driving 6 hours round trip to check it out based on one picture 1 Quote Link to comment

TyCity Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 After reading through all the forum talk about the s130 suspension being compatible I tracked down a guy parting out an s130 turbo I didnt want to go through the brake system twice A few things that should be known 1. The mouning brackets on the rear subframes are different the s130 rear mount wont work it interferes with the spare tire and if you banged the spare tire it still would line up with the rear diff mount 2 Do to the r200 differential being bigger the 810 rear differential mount WILL NOT WORK Quote Link to comment
TyCity Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I pressed out the s130 mounting bolt and placed it in a new location on the 810 mount Here you can see where I cut original location and the placement of the new drop point Fitment 2 Quote Link to comment
