redneck1545 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I'm planning on the typical 5 lug swap using the z31 pentagon hubs with the spacer for the rotor and 4x4 calipers. The only person I have found that sells that spacer that goes in between the rotor and hub is Ross at Modern Motorsports. Does anyone else make or sell this part? If anyone has bought this part from anyone other than ross that could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreaciate it.

redneck1545 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 This is what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I dont know of any other sources but.... I'd contact silvermine motors. They don't list a 5 lug spacer but they might be able to have some made up as they already make a 4 lug spacer for the vented brakes with stock 4 lug bolt pattern. Another option is to have some made at a local machine shop. If you need any dimensions, I can measure my spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 That would be greatly appreciated 280zcar! I found your thread a while ago and have been following it since its creation haha. Im sure ill be contacting you sometime about your wheels and fitment issues. My setup will be slightly different as I'll be going with coilovers but I absolutely love your setup! If you can post the dimensions on here I can get someone to machine them up. If you know the material and type of metal too thatd be greatly appreciated as well. I've contacted silvermine about this very issue but they need dimensions to do anything. I'm thinking if im going to all that effort I can just buy some T6061 aluminium round stock and set it up on the lathe for a while. Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 That spacer is partly why I did my 5 lug swap differently, by making a bracket to bolt the Z31 caliper to, and no spacer. It does require cutting off the upper original caliper mount, so there is no going back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Are you using vented rotors??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I am, yes. Basically, the entire front brake, including the hubs, rotors, calipers and caliper hangers are all off an N/A Z31 300ZX. I just chose to make a caliper mounting bracket and the 300ZX caliper instead of getting a spacer and the vented 4x4 calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a minute to realize but I think the picture you posted was of my brakes, lol. I'll try and yank the spacers off tomorrow evening and get you some measurements... convenient actually because I'm about to yank out the front suspension anyways to finish scraping away undercoating. According to the MM website their spacers are "6" OD 6061 billet aluminum." So there's one measurement down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yea the pic is off the brake options thread you posted a while back lol. And thanks for the first measurement haha. I know the thickness is 35mm I guess im just needing the center bore diamter and I can overlay the bolt pattern on top of the 6" blank when it comes time to drill the holes. Thanks again.

Kevin.pk Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The first two pics show the center bore diameter as best I could with the tool available. There is a small beveled edge where the spacer meets the hub that I measured too. They should all be relatively self explanatory though. Let me know If you need anything else.

redneck1545 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Nobody except Ross from Modern Motorsports sells this particular spacer. I have spoken with a few machine shops in the area of which a few seemed intrested in machining these parts for me but prices vary widely depending on order volume and such. If I get a set machined it will be for personal use, i havent thought about trying to gain intrest for anyone else needing these things. If you and a few others express intrest I could possibly look into getting a few sets machined up and shipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
