I would assume so, but you could email to check.

Datsun Restomods is working on a tilt/power column if you can wait. I'm not aware of a lot of steering column swaps. https://datsunrestomods.com/products/coming-soon-electric-power-steering-kit

Got notification that my hubs will be shipping out today or tomorrow, so after I get back from some travel I should be able to do a more accurate test fit next weekend.

You're in the entirely wrong area, but here you go

That's unfortunate. I think you could still probably make it work. You'd just have to change the hole pattern and play with the thickness of the adapter.

I haven't talked to AZC. I ordered some 5-lug hubs from T3, so as soon as they get here I'll be able to do a test fit to see about sensor mounting.

What year is your car, manninen?

RockAuto has it listed at 8.75", or 222.25mm. The bolt pattern is the exact same on the Toyota booster as the 240Z booster. There's some discussion about it and then bawfuls installed one in this thread:

The surface that contacts the innermost brake pad. I have Z31 hubs that I used to mock up a wheel speed sensor add-on, but yes, I'm waiting on some 5-lug hubs from T3.

Has anyone ever used a slip-on rotor on the front? I've been interested in making it happen since it would match the rears(T3 Q45 swap), and it would mean I could pull the rotors off without having to mess with the wheel bearings. I found a rotor that I think would do the trick. It's a front rotor for a 99-01 Ford Explorer and has 0.2mm clearance on the center bore and 0.6mm on the outer hub bore. The rotor is 26mm thick instead of the standard 28mm the Q45 front calipers are made for, but that's not an issue. The inboard face of the rotor would end up ~10mm further out than stock, but I don't think that's in an unreasonable spot. Thoughts? I'll attach the drawing of the Explorer rotor below. Btw, the European Brembo site has a "search by size" option for rotors. Great tool for coming up with custom brake solutions. https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/en/catalogue/size?producttype=Disc&th=28&a=68&issizetolerance=True

Picked this up recently. NOS from Japan. It's likely going to stay in its box in bubble wrap on my shelf for quite a while at the rate my car is being finished.

Zcardepot is doing 10% off their entire store, and silvermine has some items on sale as well.

1997 Toyota Tacoma booster and master bolt in and the master is 1" if you're simply looking for a bigger master.

He's asking if you're sure your cam is timed properly. In other words, is your camshaft position lined up correctly with your crankshaft position.

How are you going to control this? With the original E30 computer? I've been exploring ABS a bit but haven't found something very tunable other than the expensive Bosch setup.

My thoughts as well. Why make a tubular control arm and not continue the tubes all the way to the pickup point? That plate doesn't look thick enough to me.

What? You can just click the link and look at items. Are you sure you didn't click an ad on the page or something?

I emailed T3 and confirmed with them that they use the standard 5x103 pattern, so that's great news. I also test fit the hubs onto my car over the weekend. With the turbo hubs, they clear the dust shield by over an inch. That means they might get pretty close the the spindle with 5-lug 280Z hubs since they're lower offset, but I think you could play with the adapter thickness to get clearance if necessary. The round part of the spindle is not much smaller than the tone ring, so some clearancing might have to be done to get a sensor in the right spot.

I don't think so. When you have the 4-lug pattern, the rotor bolt holes get super close to touching the tone ring bolt holes. Add in the material on the "legs" of the tone ring and there's not room to get a rotor bolt in.

Do you have a picture? All the front brake kits I see on their site seem to have the outer 8-hole pattern to bolt the rotor to the hat, but I think the hat still uses a 5-hole pattern to attach to the hub.

So, it turns out the hole pattern isn't that oddball. It seems to be simply 5x110, but one of the threaded holes on the tone ring is drilled off-center. This caused a bunch of headaches until I figured it out. Always nice when OEM parts have issues. Drawing is attached. You might be able to tighten up the radii of the bolt holes a bit, but it all depends on what type of tolerance for part imperfections you want. Thickness and countersinking would depend on your material and application, so I left that out of the drawing. The inner and outer radii of the adapter itself don't need to be exact, and might actually vary depending on your hub and rotor. Basically, everything in here other than the 5-hole patterns aren't test fit for other applications, so use without verifying at your own risk. SubaruToneRingAdapter.pdf

BHJ is running the business side for them so they can focus on making parts and catching back up. They promise RetroSpec parts with actual professionalism in terms of ordering and updates. You might be able to go through them to get an update.

I would talk to these guys.
