Far to much piss drinking was being done to work on this over the holiday but right back into it now.Been working on the IRS had it mounted in my parts 260c but last week I bit the bullet and chopped up my boot floor to fit it all in,the first cut bought a tear to my eye.Front mounts pick up the old leaf spring mounts while the rears are just studs bolted threw the chassis rail like r32 etc ones,I might add some mounts off the factory shock mounts to share the load aswell.Everything is fitting pretty well theres been a couple of things we overlooked when we designed it but nothing we cant overcome.Ive got a pretty small list of things to do before start up so I hope to have it started in the next few weeks,cant bloody wait for that

Anyway,pics are better then words

Subframe minus axles mocked up,there will be alot more strengthening put in

I got the fuel rails anodised(chur Greg) then laser engraved with a bit of a HKS piss take.Fuell system was all but done but now I have to modify the fuel tank so I'll be starting it up the Kiwi way,out of a petrol can

That lower Arm looks very "Z"ish,(S30) about the same proportions, obviously different fabrication, but quite period looking.

Zed was one of the many suspension designs looked at so it was pretty fresh in my mind when I started modelling it!
