I have a few (by few i mean alot) questions regarding this mod and hoping to get some help.

> Engine mounts for the CA18DET (any pictures of a modified cross member so i can build one)

> Brake upgrades, will a 120y/180B/200B brake setup mount directly into the 1200?

> Tunnel Mod to suit a CA gearbox?

> What is the recommended diff for this package?

> Is there anyway to convert the front hubs to 5 stud?


> i am looking at buying a complete parts car to pillage for the mod what would be best suited (120y/180B etc)

I know these answer have probabily be answered before but any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

if you ar doing s13 brake conversion to 120y struts, you could also probably mod s14 hubs or r33 skyline 5 stub set up.

Probably easier with 280zx sturts or r31 skyline ones though thn 120y ones due to stub axle design.

commo and falcon discs fit stanza struts
hilux diff is mega tuff (ford bolt pattern)
borg warners come in fords holdens and skylines so just pick an axle with your choice of bolt pattern
you need to make a decision early in the build as everything depends on everything else
i'm going 5 stud and i think 4 stud would have been easier

5 stud is good in that it gives you a whole lot of other choices in wheels, especially if you go 5x114.3.
