S13 Suspension Parts in an S30?

Complete S30 noob.
Been kicking around the idea of getting an early 70s S30.
No smog I could finally put that SR I have to good use.
Question is: can S13 suspension parts be swapped over?
ie. subframe, coilovers, Z32 brakes, etc.
Has it been done? Is it worth the hassle?
Reason being is that I already have them laying around and if
I could keep them it'd be cool.

I have heard of people using the complete s13 subfame on s30s but it needs lots of fabbing i believe and in the end not really worth it so i heard. I was thinking about doing this also cause i have a complete s13 suspension.

my buddy has a 80' 280zx and as soon as i get my susp. in over at the shop and get it on the lift to take out my current susp. he's taking and test fabbing them on there. He's thinking about marketing a custom coilover kit stending from this

a few people have done it but its far from bolt on. here are a couple of examples:

its a skyline rear subframe but same difference right?
RB Zed aka Gaijin - HybridZ

this build is pretty sick. If i remember correctly he uses an s13 subframe. he has videos of the build and is a little more detailed
1971 Datsun 240z resto.project [vids/pics] - HybridZ

hope that helps.

cool, thanks
I went to see what I was told was "a driveable 240z in good shape" yesterday
turned out to be a 260z with some rust and missing parts
not a bad project but not something I'd want to do at this time
too many projects as it is
was a pretty good deal too, new L24 motor I was told

Check out HybridZ in the suspension, brakes section it's one of the main topics and a member has actually done it and has a few pics of it installed. I plan on doing the same when I get the funds.

i have an s13 rear subframe in my 72 510......but i used the motorsport auto (MSA) coil overs on my 280z...

it can be done. just befriend a fab guy

here's my 510 build, 240Atlanta.com

as far as parts for your s30, check out Dave @ Arizona Z Car he makes some bad ass stuff

and/or Z Car Parts.com -- Motorsport Auto -- Home is MSA.

i have the msa type3 aero on my 71 240z getting boosted LS1 ^^

hybridz.org is good for you too

Dave
