It did have a weld together coilover kit with some type of bilstein inserts in the front and just cut springs and stock shocks in the rear with no sway bar.
Changing over to Nissan R31 front brakes, hubs and strut housing and mating them with powerbymax AE86 coilovers for the front and rear.

My 12a finally sold so will give me some extra money to start on suspension which is going to be interesting to say the least.
What's involved with pulling the top half of the inlet manifold off a 13bt? Do you have to take off throttle body and everything or can It all come off in one hit? I just need to see where some wires are going.

I was always able to just take off the 4 nuts and 1 bolt, disconnect the throttle linkage, and just lift it up but i was haltech with no rats nest. If you are tearing into the motor that has the m.s. ecu then just yank it apart anyway, you need to make sure its wired right. i bought a haltech e8 one time with ls1 coils one time and slapped it on because it was a really clean harness build. 2 motors later realized the guy had the coils wired incorrectly. it should be super simple wiring stuff, 4 injector wires, one ait temp mounted before the throttle inlet, a water temp, a map sensor the cas, and the coil packs. this is assuming the motor is running a cas and not a 12a dizzy. make sure all the wires for the injectors, coil packs, and cas is done correctly or your stand alone experience will be painful. if you arent tuning this car yourself then figure out who will be and ask them what ecu they feel comfortable with, sell the m.s. and buy whatever it is they tune with and your life will be a lot easier. let me know if you need anything.

To be honest with you, I can't find a single bit of info on them. They're 1pce original CR01's but there is not a single thing about them on the internet. There's 2 other sets in australia that I know and one set is 4x114.3 and the ohter is 4x100. I would LOVE to buy another set but never seen them again and I just happened to find these on ebay US
Similar, shallower wheels on this 1970 Opel GT at Hemming's.

I can't place them exactly, but there's something about them that makes my memory say "1970's Opel GT or Corvette wheels." They for-sure make me think of performance wheels I saw on hot-rods growing up back then.

Im switching to 114.3 rather then 110 so wheels are alot easier to find, still expensive though unless you can ****** up a deal.
going to start the fun task of stripping whats left of the interior tomorrow, start going through the factory wiring and remove what I don't really need then start wiring in the EFI, mainly just relays etc.
Wiring on the motor looks fine, TPS just wasn't plugged in. Injectors, CAS and the rest seems fine, I just need to do the coil wiring. Painted the motor black, looks pretty cool
Only issue I am having now is I appear to be missing a hose of the back of the upper intake at the throttle body. Looks like it might've been for coolant or something? No idea where it routes too, I'll take a picture tomorrow and see if you guys can help me out.
Also just bought this :
and also got my R31 skyline stub strut/lca/stub axles so I can start pulling them down and get ready to start making new coilovers, all I need to do is weld a locking coller in the rear top hat for the pillowball mount or something.
Cage gets fitted in about a week or two also.

not the greatest image but you can see the hose that crosses from the back to the fron right by the lower intake
this is an fd motor but you can see the jose sticking straight up and then if you look at the back of the coolant neck where i hook up to, that was the original spot for the coolant to run to the throttle body, the coolant was for the thermal wax to help with idle if im not mistaken.
