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

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
