Swapping the front knuckles from left to right would also make the brake calipers to be in different locations...positioned in front instead of back.
Any foreseeable problems or issues? All I can think of off the top of my head is location of the brake line holder bracket on the strut. Anything else? Cool build. More updates, pics please! -Jose |

Now time for an update!
This is what the garage looked like a week ago and that same night currently the motor is in for mockup purposes, harness, fuel routing ect.. and no I will not be running the twin setup, I have a hx35 to go on as previously mentioned.. on that subject anybody have a power fc and commander they want to part with??! lol I decided not to make mounts and order a set of Mckinney ones instead.. awesome looking product but there is only one issue... Apparently from what I can see here and researching other builds the kits are made solely for rb20, 25 and R34 rb26 valve covers.. The pcv ports sit back further on the R32 rb26 and there isn't enough clearance between them and the OE hood latch bracket.. So any ideas besides r34 covers and or putting a different fitting in? cuz it is too tight.. The engine harness is coming along, been busy nightly with it.. still need to order the rest of the harness to wire the car up tho, like lights, gauges ect.. as for total ride height.. the fronts are fully maxed out and rear could still go lower with the modified bottoms, but i think it sits alright for now on 15's about 3 1/2 at sub and 2 1/4 at rails from scraping pavement lol |

Your oil-pan/bottom-of-engine doesn't look like its sitting level in reference to the crossmember.
It's hard to tell from the one pic. That thing is gonna be slammed like crazy! Awesome progress, though. Keep up the good work, Jose |

It's not supposed to sit level. The rb motors sit 1.0-1.5 inches lower on the drivers (left) side than the pass (right) side depending on what mounts used. O.P thats a nice rear sump pan you have there. Looks really nice! |

BTW, love your work over on HybridZ. If I wasn't going SR in my Z I would def be hitting you up for some RB conversion parts. Looking at RB builds makes me almost want to change over. -Jose |

Some guy on sixspeedonline has one similar to the direction this project is going.
It might be a good guide for the appearance details. My Latest Track Car Build... - 6speedonline.com Forums |

Sorry dudes!! The build will never be abandoned just progress is very slow atm... Feel like I haven't touched it in a while but the funds have been diverted to a wedding and a house.. I ended picking up an ek hatch over the winter to do up quick and sell for datsun funds, and to also shrug the winter blues. I will post pics of that soon..

any chance you can take better pics of the front s13 swapped knuckle installed? I want to do this with my s30 cause i dont feel like welding on the lower bracket for my stance coilovers.

^ its pretty straight forward, just mount the knuckles on the opposite sides.. the calipers will then mount towards the doors as oppose to the font of vehicle. leave the control arms for the correct sides

Suscribed ! I'm thinking very seriously of doing the S13 rear multilink on my 260z ! Please update and could you get pics of the front mounts of the rear subframe.
