Heidts subframe with nice tubular a-arms and power rack and pinion steering. The wiring will be cleaned up soon.
Project SR-71:
1971 Datsun 240Z with an sr20de-t. I have fabbed in a rear subframe from a 1990 Nissan 240SX S13 as well as the complete IRS from the S13. This includes the differential from a R32 Skyline and axles. I have also fabbed in the S13 front crossmember which allows me to use all of the suspension components from the S13. In order to make this work, I actually had to extend the wheelbase of the Datsun by about 7.5". This actually helps because the Datsun has a short wheelbase as it is, so this longer wheelbase puts it at about the same as the S13.
Twee uur aan de auto werken en dit is wat er onder ligt. Rest in peace wordt al snel Rust in pieces...
The only difference between a wet and a dry rear subframe is the mounting bracket for the "spring" component.
Front subframe etc. Hubs and spindles already reconditioned, original springs in good condition, steering rack is good too.
Detail at forward section of frame connector. I chose to make them bolt into place rather than sandwich the subframe mounts like most connectors do.

Been busy in cad for the last few evenings getting my faux-engineer on. Designing the rear subframe for the VW that will accommodate half the batteries, motor, and motor controller.
I bought this complete set of poly bushes from ebay user "classicpoly" for £24 including delivery. much cheaper than getting the powerflex ones though they are not as refined. I figured that the rear sub frame is under a lot less stress than some of the other suspension components so it was not worth shelling out £100 for the powerflex set. We'll see how they perform.
