this is so what i want to do to my 240vert. altough i think i want to keep it n/a. do you buy chance have an excel spreadsheet of parts and prices?

 

Sorry I'm almost a year late; I don't know if you've found the answer.
But VQswap sent you a S13 cross member instead of S14, that's why its wider.

S13 uses wider X-member because S13 FLCA is shorter than S14.

Great lovely built BTW

 

if this is true then s14 and s13 steering racks would not be interchangeable because of mounting points.

sorry i had to look this up

S14 and s13 K-members are for this problem are exactly the same.

I don't understand how you think that because the control arms are shorter would mean the kmember would be wider? The s14 is wider than the s13 and its because of the control arms and not the k-member.

 

Hmm, you probably right.
The reason i thought so b/c I know S13 FLCA is shorter than S14, I just never thought S14 has wider front track.

Good to know. That X member probably same from the SOHC S13 then

 

chances are its from a j30 or q45, definatly not from a 240sx at all.

 

any updates to this ride?

 

I bought the motor tranny, and swap stuff.

 

videos?

 

nothing yet still stripping my s13. hard to work in -20C garage when my heater doens't work haha . hopefully this summer the track car will be done

 

Yeah I'm going to be looking out for an HR for an S14 to be my next project . . . I need a job first lol I got laid off

^^Sorry for not replying to your call dude, I'm pretty sick today, just stayed home. . .

 

man u rock

 

just remember the HR may be harder to fit. the upper oil pan is wider in some places and most importantly they moved the starter to the left side on that. I know the steering clearance in the non z33 chassis's can be a problem .... i would have to look again at the s14 w/ the DE in it to see if it could be a problem.

 

any updates to the car man? i really want to see this thing run!!!

 

seriously... updates???? is the car dead? are YOU dead? :-(

 

I bought all his stuff like i said before . he also sold his shell so his build is dead for now.


here is my build thread tho

ahh.. i apologize! i did not catch that.

you should make a build thread here, in this forum!

 

just wrecked my 350z and am thinking of buying a s14 kouki also and doing this swap

how much did vqswap.com charge you for all the **** to make it work

 

^^ just over $1400. . .

Don't buy from them, it'd be less of a hassle to make it yourself, and a lot cheaper, and better quality. . .

With all the BS that I had with them, next time it's all custom. . .
