Bluebird/S12 Silvia, to DR30

Hey I read in other posts that the subfame/cross member and bottom arms from a bluebird can be fitted directly to the R30 body is this true?

If so what model bluebird? Is the one that can change into my DR? is it the TRX?

Also is the S12 Silvia the same could i change its cross member,R&P and arms into my DR?

Im not worried about the engine mounts at this point as the engine position in my car is non standard anyway

Any help would be great as I have acsess to a silvia and some Rwd bluebirds this weekend!

I want to change to NON power steer rack and pinion

p/s there is a complete S12 and 3 TRX bluebirds if anyone wants me to get them parts im happy to, just give me a text. my number is

Marc 044 963 9774 (the parts are not free but shoud be pretty good value)

Cheers Guys

Marc

i know that s12 power steering fits s2 bluebirds, have done it,

and i also know that the r30 rear subframe can be made to fit with relative ease, thats our next project

thanks man

i still want to know will a Bluebird or silvia front subframe/cross member bolt into the r30?

    • Hmm. I should have thought of the clutch bleeding issue. It should be #1 thought for "can't select gears". As to "sounds like the top".....have you actually gone out with the stethoscope and tried to pin it down any more than that? And, buy or borrow a timing light, and set the timing properly.
    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
