Suspension swap anyone ever tried it?

I have a 82 RHD fairlady, and I was wondering if anyone ever tried swapping out the suspension from an S130 with a Z31 to change the bolt pattern and also to be able to upgrade the brakes (that's if the Nissan big brake option was available for the Z31) to the ones you normally see on the Z32's. If so would it be a direct bolt on specially for the earlier generation Z31's? Or is there fab you have to do to it? Is there a better way to have the bolt pattern change and upgrade the brakes? Any info on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

You need Turbo rims for these, the 6 spokes and snowflakes won't clear these, you need 15" rims!
