What effect does dropping the entire rear suspension from the R30 and slapping it into the C210 do? Is there any castor/camber effects (i assume thats what you would call it on the rear wheels), Do i increase or decrease the track? Another query - i have read through these forums and noted that people have said that R30 front struts will bolt straight into the C210, Why is this prefered? Are the struts different? Are the brakes bigger? (looking at DBA they both seem to use a solid rotor expect the FJ20 version of the R30), Are the front and rear shocks interchangeable from an R30 to a C210? Now onto the steering stuff, I have an R30 and a C210 - both have power steering, the C210's box is mc-f#cking-massive in comparision to the R30 box, does anyone know if its a straight bolt-in prospect from one model to the other? Has any converted Rack'n'Pinion into a C210? as in a bolt-in???

After reading through some of the C210 posts i was thinking of swapping out my UNI'd half-shafts for CV'd ones, I have a complete 1985 4-Door R30 Skyline to pick at, Is it possible to just swap over the rear struts, swing arms and half-shafts but leave the diff in place - I just would prefer not to have to remove the diff from my C210, as removing diff's isnt all its cracked up to be :-), I was thinking i would probably not have to many problems bolting in the swing arms and struts from the R30, its just if the bolt pattern was changed on the half-shafts (ie...... for UNI's 4 bolts were used and for CV's 6 bolts were used) i made need to swap over the 180 diffs aswell, Anyone know?

V8skylineMAN, How is your conversion going mate? "The gearbox xmember i havent done yet, but at this stage it looks like ill have to shift the engine forward, or find a smaller diameter box, supra boxes are quite small in diameter, ill have to look into that conversion." Why do you have to move the engine forward to fit the gearbox? does the tunnel narrow? or is the shifter way to far back? Do you have any pics?
