So. . . we were planning on waiting to install the front subframe into the Z until we had the donor S13, but as you can see, impatience got the best of us. Besides, we have a 240SX w/ no motor out back to take engine bay measurements, and my 240SX we put on the lift to take measurements from underneath.
I was a little unsure about this method of attachment, when you compare it to more modern cars. I guess this is way more that enough once you factor in how the original one bolts up. You can kinda see one of the original mounting hole to the left of the left gusset. (It's a slightly darket shade of gray.) In this set-up, we're using much thicker metal, much more gussets, and much bigger bolts. I think we're ok.
We got done mounting the front subframe today, and tomorrow we're planning on mounting the tension rod brackets. We might cut out the old tension rod brackets that are behind the subframe. We'll see.
