280z4me2 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Ive decided to do a solid axle conversion on the rear of my s30. Being that i have a 86 toyota 4x4, working with the 8" axles has sparked some interested. The gears options,locker/lsd options, and parts availibility make these axles super easy to find. With the addition of cheap chromoly axles shafts if pushing a ton of power, disk brake conversions are done with bolt on brackets, and the calipers share the same 10mm flare nut size as the stock s30. Not to mention the width is shorter significantly shorter then most other solid axles. Im just curious if this has been done before by someone on this board? Also curious to hear from other axle conversions and the suspension setup they used when doing it. Post detailed pictures please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
810wagn Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'd be interested to know this info as well. They're commonly available, take heaps of abuse offroad (so i dont see why they wouldnt in a street car) and have a huge aftermarket. Did you ever try this?

socorob Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not really the same thing but I think he dropped a Z body on a toyota 4x4 frame, so probably using those axles. Looks like they can take abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
