  1. I have a Buddy Club Spec 2 exhaust. It sounds loud when idling but it's not bad running down the road. I can still talk to my passenger. http://vid191.photobucket.com/albums/z167/chrisrmoniz/280z/IMG_0322_zps2hhw5lww.mp4
  2. I have a J30 DIFF, From there I used the J30 tripod bearing housing. 300ZX (NA) axle then a 240sx Tripod bearing housing to the modern motor sports adapter with the double bolt three position bolt pattern. No thicker adapters. There was enough room for the springs inside each CV axle. I didn't have to grind anything. Just put it together and install. Axle does not bottom out or try to pull apart when the wheel assembly is raised all the way up or lowered all the way down. Works good for me.
  3. I used 300zx axles and had them it shortened to fit both sides. Here is a pic of the modification. I have enough travel that it won't bottom out. I sent my axles to Performance cryogenics. website is http://www.performancecryogenics.com The guys name is Dean. They mostly mod rock crawler axles for jeeps and 4 wheel drives. Email is performancecryo@mindsync.com . They can even put your axles through cryogenics to make them much stronger. They will be the last thing that breaks. $65 per axle to re-spline and also add the clip groove at the end. $100 per axle to run through Cryogenics. It's not a very precise picture with exact measurements but it was good enough for what I needed. This is for the longer axle. I don't have a pic of the shorter axle but you get the idea. Misspelled Spline also. So shoot me. If you have a set of 300zx axles, you will see that there are thicker spots along the shaft in the right location for resplining. I would post pictures but I was so excited when the axles came back that they went together and in the car. So I forgot. They look great and the tri-bearings were very smooth moving up and down the splines. No play. I live in NC and Performance Cryogenics is in CA. Took only two weeks from the time I shipped them to the time they shipped them back. Dean always answers his emails. He doesn't care if you can't spell. They don't mess around.
  4. I tried using 280zxt cv axles with the J30 bearing housing at on end and the 280zxt bearing housing on the other end. The short shaft fits the passanger side. I have to shorten the springs and make the cover on the end of the CV axle that connects to the companion flange flat. This shaft is still too long for the driver side. The output shaft on the J30 stick out further than the original 280z output shaft. That is what is making this do difficult. I might try looking at a Q45 axle next. Not sure if the tripod bearing will fit the splines on the Q45. If it does and the Q54 is shorter, that might work.
  5. I'm leaning towards 300zxt CV axles. The one with a tripod barring configuration, Swap the stub shaft side out with a 240sx stub shaft. Still looking into it.
  6. Looks like the Z31T is a 29 spline. I counted the splines on the J30 stub shaft and it also was 29 splines.
  7. You guys are way ahead of me. I don't have much idle time so it's gonna get done when it gets done. This is a 75 280z. I'll be sending my companion flanges in for adapters at Modern Motorsports. I put the J30 carrier into my R200 diff housing. I have the original Ring and Pinion still in my R200 housing. Now I'm at the point where I need to check back lash. Once that is done, I'll close it up and get it back in the car. What I have been trying to find out is if a Z31T stub shaft will fit in the J30 carrier. Has anyone done this before? If so, then I would only have to get the companion flange adapter. Chime in if my assumptions are incorrect.
  8. Does anyone know where I can get a set of 2MM spacers for my J30 VLSD. I swapped my original ring gear from my 83 R200 diff with a J30 diff. The original R200 ring gear has 10mm bolts. J30 diff uses 12mm bolts. There have been a lot of post on this topic but I can't find a source for the spacers. Not getting anything on Google. Just a lot of companies that sell washers. Thanks
  9. I believe there is a capacitor in the clock. It's electrolitic. They tend to dry out over time and go bad. Try getting a replacement and see if that helps. Check out this link from classiczcars. http://classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=23622&d=1212753644
  10. rb20det Good gas mileage. Use for DD.
  11. super job Z-YA. Now all we need is the same schematic for all the other swaps.
  12. OgrishForum.com . Dood, I'm afraid to ask. Look at what youtube has for the word Ogrish. Is that like a reality website kind of thing. Can't get a good description on Google.
  13. Amorfin, You make a good point, but I have heard and read the same view from other news sources as the one in the link. I was also wondering how the dealers recouped the cost of crushing some of the more expensive trade ins. Not sure how that works.
  14. From the dealer and customer end the numbers look good. Now add the administrative cost from the various government agencies and you get $20k per car. I was low in the estimate. Read this article. http://money.cnn.com/2009/10/28/autos/clunkers_analysis/index.htm
