Don't be silly!! Why would you want to swap such a tough engine in the FJ with something as not so tough as the SR??? Putting an RB into a DR i can understand but im not a fan of the idea but the SR!! *shudders* YUCKSKI'S!! Leave the SR in the silvia's/poosars :cheers:

Id love to do the SR20 conversion. Mount it way back so its like a front/mid mount engine and it weighs nothing compared to the RB being all alloy (as far as I know). It would make the car 50kg lighter and turn in and braking would be fantastic. I would only have to worry about 4 coil packs crapping themselves

(This is purely speculation that has no scientific merit which is by definition, speculation)

Why in the bloody hell would you put an SR20 into something that has the mighty FJ?? Have you seen how much room there is between the firewall and the back of the motor in a DR??? You can have a bloody picnic back there!! Why not just move the FJ back further??? I thinking that the SR should just stay where the SR is, just my school of thought....

BTW coil packs crapping themselves isnt really a problem.......

Has anyone ever mounted the FJ20 back for better weight distribution? What gearbox do you use? What do you do with the mounts?

How much heavier is the RB20 than the SR20?

18kg is still a fair amount and is backed by a six speed box. Its also more common and has newer tech so if you're tight like me it would have to be the cheapest way to go. (Not necessarily the strongest or most potential)

Actually only the S15 scores a 6 speed box outta the SR20 range....

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay

      Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
