i've done it because i got the early z31 with the 304mm vented rear discs and the z31 arms sit 10mm further out,then i don't have to depend on spacers, i'll just get some wheels made up from image to fill up the gp arches.

Are you sure they'll widen the rear track ? I don't think mine has.

according to most posts i found the other year it said the early z31's had a 10mm wider track and bigger disc's.

Turned out my rear is an earlier 5-stud (so midlife overall) NA. Maybe just the Turbos with the wider track ?
I also did the front to match the rear and I wanted coilovers and Z32 brakes.

I measured my rear track last time around. I'll try toremember and have a look at the print out when I'm back ion work Tuesday.

Northerner you haven't still got the front suspension off of your Z31 by any chance have you ?

I sold the 84 stuff but am replacing the front stuff on my 88 project so will have it available. You can have the front lower arms, hubs, legs, twin pot calipers/discs etc for £60.
