Gidday fellahs,
At risk of repeating what was posted earlier in a R230 related thread, and backtracking over what may have already been covered in this excellent forum, I'd like to start a new thread on stub axles for ultra high performance work. In my trawling for information, I have found the moser/modern motorsports 27 spline 4340 stub axle to be the current hot part for Z rear ends. Can anyone provide information on the Z32 300ZXTT stub axles, whether these are bigger than 27 spline (I hope they are !) and whether they can be retrofitted into a Z31 or earlier 280 Z type rear ends. In my experience a 27 spline shaft is not strong enough, no matter what it is made from. What are the options and how can we remove this weak link from the rear end once and for all ? By my calculations there is room for a 33 or 35 spline axle based on a 35 mm (1.377 in) diameter shaft provided the custom companion flange is made to match the spline and allow people to use the strong Z31 300ZXT and Z32 300ZXTT half shafts. Is anyone manufacturing these and if not, why not ?
Fire away. I look forward to learning heaps...
Ben
