S130 and Z31 Steering Arm Bolt Centers?

Post by Raizer »

Hey guys, I know the info is probably on the net somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it :oops:
Can anyone tell me what the bolt center measurements are for S130 and/or Z31 steering arms? Oh and the diameter of the ring that the strut locates on?

I'm looking for a pair of RCA's for my Y30 and have read (in a Japanese magazine feature online) that Z31 suspension is a bolt in for the Y30, so I'm hoping I can chuck a pair of Z31 RCAs in (or better yet RCAs and struts).
Asking for S130 measurements too as TTT do decent looking RCAs for them.

James 85_Z31 should be able to tell you man pretty sure s130 is 40mm spacing and Z31 is a bit wider than that

Bit more googling suggests some z31 arms have 80mm bolt spacing.
I roughly measured up the Gloria, 100-110mm.

They seem to share all front suspension bushes so I'm thinking the y30 in Japan I read about probably uses the complete arms and struts from a z31.

The z31 must come with both 80 and 100 km spacings then

the 80 km spacing will be the earlier ones I think, and 100 km spacing will be because they came out over the period when we changed from 80 km/h to 100 km/h speed limit I guess :P
Sorry Dan just digging
