s13 brakes, knuckle conversion oh my! Tue, 03 August 2004 19:36 Go to next message
So, i've got all the parts together to do this
just want to give you AU guys who have actually done it the oppertunity to correct me


S13 LCA, cut off the ball joint and replaced it with a heim joint(i think you guys refer to these as rose joints)
S13 tie rods, shortened and rose jointed ends with rack spacer
S13 hubs
S13 front coilovers with AE86 upper mount
Z32 aluminum 26mm caliper/rotor redrilled to 4x114.3


for the t/c rod i will redrill the LCA to fit the AE86 unit.

I'm not sure what the talks of using TA21 or KE70 steering knuckles is all about, maybe someone could shed some light on that for me...searched on this topic, only a few threads came up, none with a definate answer.

Im asking this because the S13 has it built in, and in all the pics of the conversion i've seen, there isnt one used.

The steering knuckle {steering arm} is part of the S13 hub

Just a question ? What car is this for ? A ae86 ?

yeah.

i figured it out

cut off the ball joint and fit a heim joint to it
use the s13 hub/coilover with ae86 upper mount

modify it to work for the TC rod and attach the front sway bar link and you're done.

now...

would i be better off making custom brackets and using TRD engine mounts(really just 20-22R hard mounts)

or using RB20 engine mounts on AE86 crossmember to fit a CA18?

Which TRD engine mount , stock location , or the lower model ?
Rb20 engine mounts are offset and use a two low bolts not a stub pin last time i check ? are you talking z31 rb20 mounts ? we didn't get that model here .

Remember the power is doubling a 4age if a turbo ca18det.
