Description

This is a DIY kit to help assist in the installation of a more modern 90’s multilink setup from various Nissan/Infiniti chassis, such as the prevalent 240SX. The kit will require cutting and welding, and installing the adapters is a small fraction of the actual work involved in the swap, but what the adapters will do is to provide all the parts that would require machining. As such the entirety of the work will be measuring, cutting, and welding.

There are two approaches to doing the swap:

• The first is to install the 2 pins with brackets in the rear, then modify the subframe at the front to connect to the original 300ZX pins with the sleeves provided. The benefit of this approach is that it is easily reversible, the original pins are untouched, and the new rear pins don’t interfere with the axles, therefore the original subframe with trailing arms can be reinstalled.
• The second way is to modify the car entirely, to install 4 new pins where the new multi-link subframe expects them to be, this requires 4 pins with brackets, two of which will have to be modified and braced for the front positions. The benefit to this route is the ease at which subframes can be swapped, if they are ever damaged or too rusty, there is no additional fabrication required to replace it. Also, for a subsequent swap from S13 to S14 subframe, conversion bushings would be all that’s required.

The main purpose of this swap is to take advantage of the huge adjustability inherent in a multi-link system, and all the aftermarket parts that further enable adjustments. Everything from roll-center to camber curves become tunable. The only downside is cost.
