Sam_Q Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 welcome to the forum I might be able to help you with the mounts soon enough, wiring shouldn't be much of an issue try a few searches for this topic whats your location? Quote
vinny kain Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 Hey, i have a s13 crossmember is it better to use that or modify the ae one. I'm in the adelaide hills how much would you be asking for the mounts? cheers mate Quote
Sam_Q Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 I wont have a price on the mounts till I make my first set. Using the S13 crossmember, the lower control arms or both totally messes up your steering geometry Quote
vinny kain Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 oh ok is it very hard to modify the ae crossmember and are there any pictures out there on how to do it, which control arms would u advise using? thanks for the help mate. Quote
Sam_Q Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 well I don't see why you would have to mod it at all. With the mount design I have in mind you just bolt them to the SR block and then it uses the stock 4ac rubber mounts to the crossmember. Stock arms are fine or XT130 corona if you want -1 to -1.5 degree of camber which is excellent for grip. Quote
vinny kain Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 when do u think u would have a set of mounts made though. I'm pretty keen to get mine underway this weekend mate. got the engine and box and ready to get started. what diff would u use as the is blown already and needs replacing and i may aswell use something a bit stronger. i couldnt find much info about the conversion on this site yet any advise where to look any other sites better for this topic?

Sam_Q Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 look on ae86drivingclub forums an R31 is a popular conversion and I have done two myself, a third soon it seems. I am going to be a month or two yet so your out of luck. Quote
vinny kain Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Posted October 22, 2009 hey does any one have any plans or photos of any engine and gearbox mounts if so it would be great Quote
Jono Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 suspend the motor into place, make up some cardboard/MDF mounts and replicate with steel. Quote
