I need a manual trans from the Isuzu, front subframe with suspension/rack from the RX8, and complete rear subframe from the J30.  Willing to travel and remove parts for the right deal.

I keep front seats and cat and you can have the rest.

I know a guy doing a swap into an RX8, I'll ask what he'll have leftover.

I need to keep the front subframe around $150 as I won't have recovery room for this part of the build.

Sorry, the swap he's doing retains the full stock front end.

O well.  I'm not worried on the RX8 stuff as much as the J30.  I figure next all you can carry there'll be a RX8 in the yard with a front end.  It's not like they're considered the most reliable of the rotaries.

I clicked on this thread hoping to find out that all 3 of these shared some weird component you were looking for.

If it helps you all three will share a Model A frame between them.

I thought the J30 shared chassis with the 300z.  Is there difference in the rear subframe between the two?

I'll research that today.  I think it's also close to the 240sx but mainly I was wanting the LSD diff that I know comes in the J30.

In reply to John Welsh (Moderate Supporter) :

Looking at pictures it seems the upper control arm is a different design between the two.  For LSD I'd need a turbo model made after 4/87.  I think turbos had the 5x114.3 pattern I'm wanting also.

So doing more research.  My checklist for the rear was easy to use subframe, 5x114.3, LSD, springs over shocks from factory.  I assumed all the Q45s were like the 3rd gen and the springs were seperate from the shocks but looks like 1st and 2nd gen meet my requirements.  That opens up more options and in fact my favorite yard has a 2nd gen in right now.  Hopefully it'll still be there next week for the sales.

If they do an all you can carry and are within driving distance of Jacksonville, FL let me know and I'll try and come up to grab a front end.

Central NC is just a fun little trip for me.  Let me know if they ever announce one and I'll see if I need to head up.

I will, for sure

They are at 109 U Pull It in Winston Salem, which is a FOSS company now, so that youre aware.
I get their texts, I checked last night before I replied to see what the upcoming/current deals were and it wasnt that, something like 50% off trim or something.

But I'll keep you in mind. I think they have three. I know two were right next to each other
