Kirby260

All good guys, z240 is going to sort me out. Thanks. I don't care if it goes by surface, it's not urgent! But no matter how I cut it it's still cheaper. USPS also do good flat-rate parcels.

So I need some new axle nuts and I would prefer the 280zx style cone-nut style. I called Nissan spares here in Australia and they wanted $22 FREAKING DOLLARS (+ TAX) EACH!!!!! for a NUT! eBay didn't have any listings and there wasn't many other avenues here. Anyway pretty much any US Nissan parts site has them for >$5 + shipping. All you have to do is choose your favourite Nissan parts retailer, buy 4 of them and ship them to me in Australia. I will paypal you all the costs + some beer money for your trouble. But the real payment is the warm fuzzies you get from not having Nissan Australia violate me for almost $100 for 4 axle nuts. And if you ever come to Australia I will also buy you additional beer. First person to volunteer gets the gig. Thanks.

Dean, Trying to get some info on your swap. Check your PM's.

So I sent an email to speedway engineering for parts: 0090-046 (12.437") (driver's side) 0090-046 (12.937") (passenger side) From the other thread, I got a response this morning. They still have drawings (they just are no longer a stocked item), price is $217ea machined to order, 3 week lead time. Almost to easy.

Hey Guys, I was wondering if there had been any progress on the axle part numbers, I currently have: - A Z32TT R230 VLSD (3.69 ratio) - Techno-Toy-Tuning Forward Diff Mount - Techno-Toy-Tuning Machined Mustache Bar - 4 matching 6-bolt CV joints (from 4x 300zx driveshafts) - Chequred Flag Racing 27-Spline companion flanges. The only thing I'm missing are the axles and the modified C.V. end caps to adjust the plunge. I was getting ready to order these from Ross, when he got sick and stopped accepting orders. Its the last little bit I need to finish! Apparently there is a speedway engineering axle that suits, but I don't have enough information, the C.V. end caps might be a custom machining job. Anyone?

Hey Guys, I'm hunting for a dimension from the rear hub geometry of a 1976 260/280z. Specifically the dimension from the Hub (wheel mounting) Face to the Drum Brake Mounting Face on the Strut/Bearing Housing. Attached is the estimation I have done on a poor drawing from the workshop manual, which I scaled from PCD and known bearing dimensions. My estimated value is close enough to 60mm, that I would guess this is the actual dimension. However, What I am looking for is for someone to validate this for me. I can't easily do this myself as my drum is still attached and I can't pull apart the strut at this point in time. Any help would be amazing! Rear Hub.pdf

Hi Guys, With Daves' Billet Brace/dogleg bar : http://arizonazcar.com/diffmount.html It has provision for a "rear mount" sway bar. Does anyone know if this is just a regular sway bar flipped 180degrees? Anyone had experience with this setup or care to comment? Thanks

Oh man. Want to share your part files for the chassis/engine bay, it would save my life doing my engine mounts for my swap

Updates?

what sort of $ there?

So are we going to see an install this weekend?

GOOD GOD NO! The fact that you even considered this as a solution means you don't have the knowledge or understanding to be playing around with this stuff! Call a qualified electrician!

3/8" sounds a little thin for a vented rotor...sure its not 3/4"?? according to this: http://www.dba.com.au/2006/PDF_CATALOGUE/Catalogue_AUST/2008_AUSTCatalogue_01102008.pdf both the V6 and the V8 Mustangs ran a 300x19 rotor. (pretty close to 11 13/16" x 3/4") and the GT500 ran a 330x20.7 now I'm just confused...

I would have a guess and say that they are PBR, which makes alot of stuff for GM and Ford. Do look like nice calipers!

Eagerly waiting to see more photos/results. Can you give us some detailed measurements on the rotor?
