dave280zxt Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Looking to buy a pair of axle companion flange as found on the '87-89 300zxt. Must be the 4 bolt style. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I don't have what I think your after, but are you looking for stock companion flanges off the 300zxt or the custom companion flanges to use the 300zxt axles on the s30 chasis? Or are you looking for the axels themselves that are for the 300zxt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litman Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I plan to begin dismantling an '89 ZXT this weekend. If you are indeed looking for OEM Z31 parts I will likely have what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave280zxt Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) JSM and Litman- I have a 280zxt and I am installing a lsd from a '89 300zxt. I have the 4 bolt axles from the 300zxt as well.To make the outer connection do I need custom flanges or would stock 300zxt flanges work? thanks Edited August 3, 2017 by dave280zxt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Why do you need to install the 300zxt axles? Just install your current CV axles. They plug right in. Then post the 300zxt axles for sale here. I'm sure someone will want them. If your set on using 300zxt axles, the 280zxt stub axles (wheel side) are 25 spline same as the 240z. I doubt the 300zx are 25 spline. Maybe ask Litman to count them. The 280z stub axles are 27 spline count. If the 300zx OEM flanges are 27 spline, you will have to source a set of stub axles from a 280z to use the 300zx flange. Also you'll want have litman measure the length of the flange to compare against the ZXT you have to make sure it all fits. My quick google search for 300zx spline count didn't find much. If I were you, I would just use your ZXT axles and be done. These are stub axles. Edited August 5, 2017 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Did they sell the "shiro" as 1989 model year or were they all 1988? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave280zxt Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Hi JSM Thanks for the education. I guess I wanted to install the 300zxt axles as they are THE ones to get as they are stronger.( I rebuilt them,and painted them real pretty too. ) Edited August 4, 2017 by dave280zxt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I guess it all depends on the HP your putting down. Let me know how it turns out. Curious to how it's all going to fit together. Seems everyone is putting them in the s30 but I can't recall anyone putting them in the s130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
