Thread: S13 suspention conversion into MZ10

  1. #1

    Default

    here it goes...

    over this weekend im looking at doing this s13 setup into an MZ10 soarer

    i already done it on my ae86 so i imagine its no drama...just a few things i need to know..(i been lazy and havent looked under the car yet)


    the xmember on the mz10 in relation to ae86 - width wise

    the steering rack...is the thread the same or different....i imagine 80's toyota its all the same

    top hats - s13 ones seem to fit but at different angle...so u get camber and caster adjustment in one

    well i think thats it...ill post up how i go just in case someone is interested

    if anyone can think of any other issuses ill run into...post away...

    and moderators....if u could just leave this post alone...its not hurting anyone yet

    thanx

    He's done the same conversion into his MZ10.

    this is what i done



    i listed all the issues with the conversion on the last few pages...

    this is what i used

    S13 kai office height and spring adj. with 9kg springs on front.
    S13 kai office camber tops, Mz11 redrilled to suit.
    S13 stub axles
    SR20det brakes and disks
    R31 tie rod ends (14mm thread) (i got s13 ones to start with but they were 12mm dia. hole so i was told that the r31 tie rods were the same but had a 14mm dia. hole to fit the mz10 rack ends, it might be r32 tie rod ends as well?)
    MZ10 272mm long rack ends (14mm thread) - RE879
    S13 strut bar
    all sitting on Orginal MZ11 LCA's with orginial ball joint.

    s13 lca and ra60 / bluebird rack end / tie rod combo...s13 top hats fit...just at an angle...

    the car should be finished by saturday and competing in the drift comp...the driver has not ever driven the car or drifted before so should be interesting

    do you gain much track? whats the length of the s13 lca?

    as you might of read i did the conversion and lost some track so if getting some new S13 lca's and only having to redrill one hole helps me gain it back ill be happy.

    hey, did you do your conversion yet?

    looking at some firuges and lca lenghts...

    s13 are 350mm long
    mz/gz10 are 280mm long

    that might add a little too much track to your setup, ae86 lcas are 310 apperently. im hunting some that are 300mm let ya know what i find.
