SUNNY Z Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well I'm doing a lot of upgrades this winter because I kept breaking axle pieces. Here is my dilema: I am trying to use the 32 spline outer CV's from the 300zx TT cars (techno toy tuning backing plates) BUT i can't find a way to do a 4 lug hub with these. The only 4 lug option availible in this style is from the S13 240sx, which is only a 29 spline, and the 5 lug hubs are all scalloped, so they can't just be re-drilled. (see picture) SO I'm left with compromising for a 29 spline CV and 4 lug, Or buying all new wheels in 5 lug. And for those of you that might say 29 spline is overkill... The car makes 450-475 ft/lbs of torque at the tires, and will likely be hit with a 150+ shot of nitrous. Figure on 600-650 lb/ft of torque to the tires. This WILL be launched a LOT on drag slicks. I don't want things to break. OR there is the option of using the 29 spline stuff for now, and upgrading in the future, if i need to. (which will leave me stranded somewhere if one breaks) OR if someone can figure out how to do a 4 lug on the above hub..... NO SPACERS / ADAPTERS.

morbias Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you're regularly going to be launching with that much torque then maybe 5 lug is the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'd be buying 5-lugs and putting those Rota's up for sale.. Im sure someone will snatch them up! At 650lbs-ft of torque it's kind of pointless to compromise on the axles just to keep your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Just 5-lug it and go with classic torque thrusts. I guess rota doesn't make a 5-lug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
