Hi all, Long time listener, first time caller. The 240Z in question belongs to my father and I would like to answer a few of the questions raised. We opted for the R33 rear end as opposed to modifying the standard set-up for the following reasons: - R200 Viscous LSD - huge vented discs and 2 spot callipers - 5 wheel stud pattern - Constant Velocity jointed half shafts There were no body modifications made. The cradle was heavily modified and the track was narrowed 90mm The rear steering rack was removed As for handling, Dad didn't push it too hard at the Goulburn nationals as it is a street/show car with 18 inch wheels. (Dad hasn't had much track time either) I had a simmilar rear end (180SX) in my old 1600(510) wagon which handled really well on the track (remember the Z nationals in queensland in 2003?) We found that the R33 conversion was quite cost effective (not including our labour). The main reason that we did it was that it fit well with the theme of the car (New technology) and that it hadn't been tried before. Regards Graeme. Also, The cradle is surprisingly light and any added weight is in the huge brakes
