You're best to check on SXOC what the S13 people do to fit the S14 hub. Something comes to mind about having to use the S14 ball joint on the lower arm.

Square root of fuck all. I've been distracted by another car I bought and generally been very lazy.

Haven't got a great deal left to do. Probably a weeks solid work would clear most of the things I need to do.

Diff is built up, shafts aren't done yet, engine is built, but needs valve clearances doing, manifolds fitting, water oil lines etc and then it's ready to drop in.

Then I need an exhaust and intercooler piping made up

One of the engine



I'm using an S15 diff inside an S12 case. I have 2 sets of 280zx driveshafts. Now if I was using an S13 VLSD I could use the 2 short 280zx shafts in exactly the same way as you would with an S12.

But, with the S15 diff you have to use both the S15 inner shafts (not one like you can with the S13 diff), so whilst I can make one up with the shorter shaft, I will need to get a special short one made.
