What parts needed to put gsl-se rear into a 1980???
Ok. I ordered the stainless steel brake line kit for "79-80 rx7 w/ 81-85 rear disc". I will soon be getting the entire rear from a gsl-se. This includes rotors, calipers, and emergency brake cable.
My question is: Do I need any other parts to make this conversion? I know that the gsl-se bolt pattern is different, so that problem doesn't need to be addressed. But is there anything else I need to get? Thanks. :beer: |
well since you know the bolt pattern is different, you probably know already that you have to redrill the rotors or change the axles and rear diff as well ;)
|
you lost me abeomid,,,, i'm putting in the entire gsl-se rear into my 1980,,, differential and all....
|
oh sorry, i only saw the rotor and caliper part :), if you have the brake line, u should be fine. I'm almost certain that the driveshaft will bolt on there as well, anybody wants to second that??
|
the driveshaft will not bolt up.. you will need to get that as well
|
okay i've got an '83 i want to put a posie in my car i know of a gsl rear end i could get please tell me everything i would need to do the switch over. and did the gsl have 110mm or 114mm?
|
Posi = Chevy garbage
GSL gas 110mm. GSL-SE has 4.5" (114.3mm). |
wow peejay, im starting to notice you have a THING against chev's? hehe ohwell. but didnt the gsl rear ends have limisted slip not posi?
|
limited slip is more or less the same thing as posi.
|
Posi and Positraction are Chevy's "brand name" for limited slip.
|
I put an 84 (gsl-se with lsd) axel on my 81 car..
It fits rellay well! No need to modify anything really... Just bolt on.. That was the complete axel... all of it. //Magnus |
I think roror-lynn is doing or has done the same. She might be able to offer some advice
|
I'm putting '84 SE suspension in an '85 S. The axle is a straight swap but you also need the e-brake cables and the master cylinder/proportioning valve from a rear disc car.
See www.mazspeed.com/axel.htm (it's not a typo) for axle differences between years. I do have definitive information on the differences between the front dampers on a 12A and 13B. No difference in spindle 13B spring perch is 1/4" higher 13B total height is 1/4" taller Difference in the radius of a stock 12A 185/70/13 tire vs stock 13B 205/60/14 tire: about 1/4". Damper/spindle measurements may not apply to 81-83 cars since it and some of the front wheel bearing part numbers are different from 84-5's and I didn't have one to check with my calipers. |
so i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddd??????
a simple list of parts would help me thanks |
Check out the site I listed.
It depends on the year of the donor car also. |
