I need an outer housing (wheel end) for a 300ZXT CV shaft. Anybody have a spare from a failed shaft they don't need? My cracked one is from the long shaft but I think they're identical on both sides.

I saw the boys from Roadkill yesterday at SEMA so I now have a Freiburger, Finnegan, and Dulcich autograph on my HybridZ hoodie. Rotsun was there also. That pile of Datsun and Ford is spectacular in it's crappiness!

An update: a confession that the car is in fact all Datsun. Matt now admits that he never saw the engine, and apologized for lying about it. http://www.thesmokingtire.com/tag/matt-farah/

Oooops... too slow. The little gold piece is a ferrule... it slips over the hardline and is compressed by the fitting to form a seal. In order to use a compression fitting like this the flares would have to be cut off of the hardlines.

I had some terrible resonance at 2000 rpm when I installed an MSA exhaust in my 280. The addition of a generic glasspack muffler in the transmission tunnel virtually eliminated the resonance.

Not sure about the fuel lines on a 240, but the 280 has 3 fuel lines: an 8mm fuel feed, an 8mm fuel return line, and a smaller vent line to the charcoal canister (all 3 of these fuel lines are on the passenger side). Anyway, 8mm is .315" and 5/16 is .3125"... so the two are very close in size. Perhaps one of these fittings would work on your fuel supply: http://www.summitracing.com/search/Part-Type/AN-to-Tube-Adapter-Fittings/Fitting-Size-1/minus-6-AN/Fitting-Size-2/5-16-in/

Have you seen this thread? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=130304 It shows how the Autometer 5" gauges can be modified to fit inside the stock speedo and tach bezels. I just finished fitting my new gauges and it isn't really too difficult... but the results are great! I also added LEDs to my tach (instructions in the same thread) and extended the trip reset knob so it extends through the stock Datsun speedo lens (yep, instructions for that in the thread too). Oh yeah, these modifications can be done with the dash in place. Hope this helps.

My wife gets to go with her bosses... but I'll be stuck at home. Oh well, that gives me 4 nights to plop that 302 into the Z without getting nagged about it!

Inside the driver's side lower rear control arm? They're a bitch to find when they fall in there!

Nevermind... I found a set.

Like the title says, I'm looking for some CV Axles (especially the passenger side) from a 1984 300ZXT for my CV conversion. Let me know whatcha got... PM or email to YellowFever -AT- comcast.net Steve

The S12W calipers interfered with my 16" rewinds ever-so-slightly when I test fit them. Slight grinding of the caliper "vent ribs" would have solved the problem. Instead I opted for the S12+8 calipers which have no interference problems at all.

My car has 16" Konig rewinds on it with 225/50-16 rear tires and 215/50-16 front tires. I have urethane bushings, Tokico HP struts, and Tokico springs. The rear tires rubbed the fenders on big bumps until I rolled the fender lips. Also, I had to trim my MSA Type II front airdam so the tires wouldn't rub when turning. Now about those brakes... I have Toyota 4x4 calipers and vented rotors on the front of my car. I don't have any clearance issues with the rotors. However, I am using the S12+8 calipers, not the S12W calipers. The S12W calipers are a bit bigger and rubbed my wheels SLIGHTLY when I test fit them. The rubbing could easily have been fixed by grinding some material off caliper's "vent ribs" as Derek mentioned.
