Sorry this is off topic but tell me more about your S14 swap, I'm doing the same thing to my 280ZX at the moment.

To be honest I'm still not completely 100% on it all.

As far as I am aware, you need to change pretty much everything.
I've got the following for the conversion: (all from an S14)
S14 front coilovers (old school Cusco ones)
Lower control arms
Hub carriers
Castor rods
Castor rod brackets
Swaybar, end links, bushes and mounts
Steering rack


The only thing I haven't figure out 100% is if I have to mix and match the rack ends between the S12/S14 steering racks.
I'll let you know though. I've got to replace the LCA ball joints. But once that's done and everything is cleaned up, I'll be putting it all in.

apparently you can use r31 castor arms on the standard boxes.

started doing this with my S12, but wasnt happy with how the offsets for wheels worked out :|
was a lot of work, when all i really wanted was 5 stud fronts. ended up just using z31 bits instead.
i still have most of the s14 bits here if you need anything too i think...

did you pm me about the front panel between the grill and bumper?
forgot to reply if it was you sorry!

Yeah I did PM you, but I won't really know exactly what parts till I start putting it back together anyway. But before I do that I need to sort suspension out and respray engine bay.
