v8260z

I 've read about the Modern Motorsports and the ArizonaZ front 5-lug conversions, BUT I want to stay with the lightest rotor possible. My question is Has anyone converted to the early 300zx 5-lug hub and redrilled the solid rotor from a early 260z to mount it to the 300zx hub? Is the offset the same on the 300zx hub? Same bearings and seals used? Neither Modern or Arizona offer 5-lug hubs with mounting for the original solid light weight rotor. My z will be coming out of the body shop in a couple weeks and I'd like to update the wheels from modified 4-lug Centerline Warriors to the new Billet Specialties drag race wheels that are only available in 5-lug patterns. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! I'm sure It's been covered somewhere here before but I cant find any info on this particular swap!!!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... You would never know it from the website though. As far as I know they are the only company (if they are a real company) that makes a 1 piece carbon fiber tail light panel for the 260-280z. I guess I took my chances and I may have lost my money. If that's the case their website address should be removed from the list here on Hybrid-Z.

Has anyone had problems with the company Retro-spec? I purchased a carbon fiber taillight panel weeks ago and can't get anyone to answer the phone. They did reply to 2 emails and keep giving me the run around on the shipping date. The last reply said they manufacture in Mexico...WTF? I hope I'm not getting ripped on my $336 purchase! Here is a copy of their last reply Hi sean , an apology we had some transportation logistic troubles , we manufacture in mexico, we sent parts ounce time for week , your part should be shipped tomorrow saturday in the night or monday earlier. Trust me your will glad and happy with your part , later ill send you pictures of your part. thanks/Edson/Retro-spec team ----- Original Message ---- From: Sean Hyma To: sales@retro-spec.net Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 10:46:12 AM Subject: Item #0000001200 Can You PLEASE reply with an update for my order of the 280z tail light panel.

I had a john's cars kit in mine but replaced the mounts with a motor plate, and I love it . You can set the motor where ever you choose ,also got a little more torque to the rear wheels.

Don't have the address but directions are as follows: Take beltway north to 90 east, get off at the Crosby exit and hang a left at the light, go down about 1.5 miles and hang a left , there is a sign for the shop on the right side of the main drag 1/4-1/2mile before you hang that left . You can see the small shop from the main street as you hang that left , it's about fifty yards down on the right. Those directions are coming from La Porte.

Anyone in Houston needing exhaust work should check out FMG EXHAUST in Crosby, Texas they do great work and have done many race car systems. Nice guys and fair prices!

I ve got the same mufflers in a dual cofiguration on a custom 3" system and I'd have to say they are louder than I wanted. The mufflers are about 2.5-3' after the headers with tail pipe out the back . I wanted ultraflows but no ground clearance. It sounds like open headers down the track. I recommend placing that muffler as far back in the system as possible to anyone who might consider using it.
