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

    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
    • How will O2 sensor voltages help to identify it when it is sputtering?
    • What do LTFTs look like? What do MAF voltages look like? O2 sensor voltages/AFRs? Knowing O2 voltages especially when it sputters would help a lot.
    • Isn't this what everyone immediately sees in their mind's eye when someone gives them a total width number and an offset?
    • It won't be this - not while it's driving, anyway.
