hey what kind of sub frame did you use for the rear?
im trying thinking i wanna do some type of mk2 or mk3 supra rear sub frame swap so i can get better suspension for my mx63 but i dont know which one will work?????? help please

Subframe is stock, I just modified the trailing arms to use a 5.5" x 9.5" spring. At the time I couldn't find a spring setup that would work properly. I guess now there are a few more options via AE86, etc. Subframe is the same as a MK2, there is no need for a swap.

You WILL however want to have a new upper diff mount made. Mine was blown out and they are NOT available; ANYWHERE. I went directly to the dealership and they said no dice.

Also, if you go the cheap route and cut your springs, install limiting straps immediately unless you want your springs to fall out.

MA70 supra is not even CLOSE to a bolt on procedure. I'm sure it can be done, as I plan to do it in the future, but it is a totally different design. This requires quite a bit of fab work to graft in the strut towers/upper strut mounts and the mounting studs. Even if you did this you'll still need to convert the front to MX83 style struts to keep 5 lug all the way around.

how would i install the limiting straps? bcz i need a new fuel pump and injectors, ill probably just cut the springs for now until i can gather up some cash to get some coilovers

The easiest way is the way he did it. Just look at the pics at the top of the page. :wink:

Things I might do later on: Shave the rear fender turn signals, make aluminum sideskirts, get another stock front bumper and section it to make it smaller (not crashbumper style), front lip. Eventually, paint...

Have you seen the Datsun 720 truck front bumper on one of these? Apparently it fits very nicely without cutting.

Looks like this:

Damn

Looks badass man, you guys are lucky over there in that you got IRS, twin light front ends etc in your X6's, all we got is ugly big single lights and live rear
