    280zx or 300zx Turbo CV Axles

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    I came close to ordering a pair of those Rock Auto axles too. My fear is that they length and bolt pattern will match up but the splines on the center axles will be a "standardized" pattern that the new manufacturer uses, therefore keeping us from being able to swap in the proper length aftermarket shafts. I'll be interested to hear now they look though, if they seem to be legit I'll for sure pick up a pair just to have as spares.

    I'm getting tired of the vibrations and broken U-joints associated with the stock half shafts so it's time for an upgrade. I'm looking for a pair of CV axles from either a 280zx turbo or a 300zx turbo. Post here or PM me about anything you've got.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    WTB: Baffled Oil Pan

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    We'll, recent oil pressure losses under hard braking have me searching for a new oil pan. I just wanted to see if someone might happen to have a Nissan Comp, DP Racing, or Arizona Z pan they'd be willing to part with before I go off buying something brand new. Let me know if you've got anything.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Toyota Caliper Question

    A generic AN line will not connect directly to the Toyota caliper. If you want to use a generic AN line, you'll need a 10x1.0mm male inverted flare to -3 or -4 AN fitting, depending on the size of your lines.

     

    I've got one car with lines from Silvermine and one with generic AN lines and adapters. Both work well and have never leaked, but I'll second Miles and recommend adapters and generic lines for the same reason he did.

    You will most likely need them, I've seen someone saying that they didn't but both of my 14" sets and the 15" snowflakes on my car now needed small spacers to clear. The 14" slot mags I used to have needed a 1/4" spacer and the snowflakes now have 3/8" spacers. I swapped the original lug studs for some rear studs from a 1990s Nissan Quest that are the same knurl and thread size as stock, just 12mm longer to give you the thread engagement needed to compensate for the spacers. Dorman part# 610403, IIRC.

     

    Hope that helps

    R180: 5-bolt aluminum seal retainers on the sides of the housing, rectangular rear cover that is noticeably taller than it is wide

     

    R200: seals seated directly into housing, cover is much more square shaped

     

    Search "R180 differential" on Google images and one of the first few images will show the difference in the rear cover

    In my experience, R180s have always had the style axles on the bottom and R200s have always had the style axles on top. Sounds like they may interchange but I've never personally tried to do so.

     

    I'm pretty sure that all turbo ZXs and later 2+2 ZXs had CV axles (maybe all 2+2, not 100% sure on that one).

    What are you using as a tow vehicle?

    I've always strapped to the tow hooks on the front and the control arm pickup points in the rear, crossing the straps over to the opposite side in both instances. If I'm going to be traveling more than a few miles I'll loop a piece of chain around the front crossmember as a last resort just in case the front straps were to break loose. Maybe not the best possible methods but I've never had any issues.
