From this picture it looks like there are no splines and I'll be fine, can anyone confirm. Thanks. http://300zx.tombeauchamp.com/graphics/z_pics/05_09_05_new_front_suspension/New%20Front%20Suspension%20006.jpg *Does anyone have any extra 240z stub axles for sale? I know they're weaker but I need them*

I'm preparing to do a 5 lug conversion on my z, however there seems to be 1 big question which I cannot seem to find the answer to. I have a 71 240z, I know the rear is the 25 spline stub axle, of course different than the 27 spline stub found in the later cars. My question is what about the front (is that different too), are there even splines? If I get a z31 front hub assembly will it just bolt up without having to modify anything on my car? (minus the spacer and brakes) Suddenly I feel like an idiot for asking but I haven't seen the front hubs of my car so I don't know. Thanks.

What's the best lube to use? *edit: It says hi temp grease, such as molly lube?

Sorry to bring my old thread back from the dead...but I'm not so sure that is it. My Speedo cable was replaced in 02, Can it go bad that fast? I'd rather not spend $70 on a part I don't need. Any other thoughts? I'll complicate things some more here and mention I changed my rear from a 3.36 to a 4.11....What's the easiest way to get my speedo to read correct?

Same with me. I have some fenders flairs I need to put on. Anyone have any pics on a z?

Is there any downside to just increasing my rocker arm ratio from 1.5 to 1.6 other than possible valve spring bind? I suppose that's another option. Anyone recomend a good 1.6 ratio rocker arm?

Yea, I calculated those overlaps at .05, I'll edit the orig. post here in a min. A link to the systemax II package, with some details http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=HLY%2D300%2D503%2D1&autoview=sku Valve Angle: 20º Intake Runner Volume: 184cc Exhaust Runner Volume: 68cc Combustion Chamber Volume: 68cc Intake Valve Diameter: 2.02" Exhaust Valve Diameter: 1.60" CFM flow @.5" lift 223/173 Deck thickness: .5" It looks like my Compression is 9.55:1 4.03" Bore, 3.38" Stroke, .039" compressed head gasket, and 68cc cylinder head vol. Stock pistons

I've having a bit of a problem figuring out what to do about cam choices. I'm looking for a bit more power, but not increase where the power lies. I would like to keep my rev's to ~6500. I would also like a somewhat lopier idle. Ok my current setup includes Chevy 350 bored to 355 Holly systemax II package Holly 750 carb ~10:1 compression I forget what type of headers etc... With the systemax II came this cam: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=LUN%2D07104LUN&autoview=sku 07104LUN Duration 235/240 @ .05" Lift .49/.49 I'm assuming from the spec sheet that center line of lobe is the LSA which is 108* however the website says it should be 112* Assuming I'm correct I should have 21.5* of overlap. Now, I've found some cams below with more lift, and more overlap, but will I see that much of a power increase from ~.01"to .03" more lift?

Thanks for the help.

I am/was running stock halfshafts. I dyno'd with about 300/300 to the wheels. No problem for the time I was running those (about 2k). I'm swithing over to CV's currently because I now have a 4.11 LSD rear and figured I'de step up. My car is street driven right now.

nope, not hijacking, This is a place for everyone to learn. When I helped a friend rebuild his axles for a Acura integra the only thing we really needed were the boot clamp tool (tightned the clamp on the boot) It wasnt too hard. I think these nissan/datsun may be different. Thanks for the help everyone. My set of tripods are in the mail. Hope all goes smooth

Ok, I think I know what I need. Is it worth the extra ~$400 for upgrading to 280z stub axles? I know a good amount of people stick with 240z and get the adapter. Thanks for the help?

I'm sorry. I've never heard of any axle refered to as a tripod...which one might that be?

Why the 280z non turbo? There's 280z turbo axles on e-bay now, nuts. I have a flange on the diff now I'm going to be using. Supposidly it's an r200 in my car now... As far as the stub axles I was planning on doing the Modern Motorsports conversion http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5

Ok, I have an r200 CLSD from an 89 300zx turbo. I'm going to be putting it into my 240z. I know I need to change the stub axles, and pinion. Now my question is Are the 300zx axles and the 280z axles the same? Will both work for what I need? Thanks

I'de like a picture of the wheels on a Z. I don't want to go into the trouble of getting it to work then hating how it looks.
