gazell(s12 silvia) is quite interchangeable with S13 Silvia suspension, well on the front anyways, and S13 parts fit on C210s, r30 parts fit C210s too, so i dont see why at least SOME of it wouldn't fit....sorry i couldnt be of more help

gday just wondering is the gazelle suspension compliable with the r30????

The Australian S12 Gazelle has a live rear axle and imported R200 IRS S12 Silvia's are a bit like rocking horse poo!

I can't see a problem using some front parts although the lower arms are probably shorter, but haven't put a tape over them to find out.

IF your questions are related to the S13 height adjustable strut conversions the guys have been talking about, I really don't understand why? as there are kits about to make stock R30 front struts into coil overs and I would think it easier than trying to adapt the S13 set up to it.

The imported U11 Bluebird and DR30 front struts are fairly readily available from places like SSS Automotive in Girraween NSW (9896 6111) for about $500 pair, which includes the brakes (calipers & rotors) which is a fairly good deal I think.

New slotted rotors are available from RDA & DBA, but the rears need some slight modifications to fit them (4 or 5mm spacers) and then you will have stopping power that is fairly good and all bolt on.

Cheers, D

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
