    you can make them yourself or buy some from kaizen garage. there are no brackets that are factory made that'll make it just bolt up. it's all custom.

    i belive there was a guy on rollaclub that used rb20 mounts with ae71 x member to put a CA in.

    have a look around there.

    Lol

    Its proablly the easiest way to install a sr/ca/rb into a 86, plus you have power steering and can upgrade to a s14 rack for more lock with minimal mods not to mention it's makes things a hell of a lot easyer if you plan on running a s13 front too.

    not sure about that but rb20 rubber engine mounts are the same as nismo sr20 mounts suposably

    just getting the bolting corect really its a lot less than making mounts up a shit load less. get a s13 x member and a 86 one and just look to see what need changing. I cant remember I did look into it but my brain is not working atm.

    next time i'm under mine i'll take photos
    daim and i were amazed how little you need to slot out to get the s13 x member in
    mine is in
    handles fine, really good actually, only drama i've run into is you can't run much caster (i'm stuck at 3 deg of caster at the moment, would like 5-6 liek my old setup) and the track as s13 LCAs give you sigma arm style track and camber, even with camber tops adjusted out
    prob the only option i can see there is rose jointing your LCAs unless someone knows of a bolt in option that replaces s13 LCA???
