I work in a proper 'shop so bendy heaty weldy isn't a problem.

Also is the eccentric bot kit that is used for rear toe adjustment still avaliable from Nissan ?

does'nt the s13 go under the axel, where as the s12 goes over,its easy enough to do one from scratch matey, if i can anyone can, not sure on the eccentric bolt kit, i have a spare set from the 300 rear end, not sure if i'll just make my ajustment permanant and just drill then weld the old holes up, if you don't have any look with nissan, then let me know, i'll have a think what i'am doing over the next few days.

The exhaust does as you say but I reckon one could be chopped and flipped over. I'm only asking as I can get used exhausts on SXOC and the like for ~£50 and it'd be much easier to have something to start with. Also I'm skint as this car is costing me £££s as is but the current exhaust is fooked.

Probably worth keeping hold of the bolt mate. Especially with your car you'll want to be able to adjust suspension geometry.

Maybe next month.

I've arranged to get my S12 shipped down from Manchester, another SE spoiler from america and all the other things I've probably forgotten. Owning a car that hasn't movd in 18 months has proven to be expensive.....

On the plus side, and if Dan @ DBPower shifts his arse, I should have the definitive answer to our Z31 conondrum in the next few weeks. Y'know he's had my Z31 spare x-member for refurbing/machining etc for almost 6 months ?!
