Gmagno Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I realize this is beating a dead horse but just checking to see if anyone has been successful at this with available stock auto parts. I know most everyone has the front 5 lug hub for about $400.00 but the only one I found that has the rear is Arizona Z. I talked to Dave today and he said the front/rear set is $2200.00. Dave makes some great stuff but I am looking for a less expensive way to have better wide wheel choices. I just found this and am checking now on availablilty. Thanks in advance for the help.......

Invincibleextremes Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Have you been following what I'm Doing? I have 5 lug front and rear, and a monster diff and badass axles and monster 4 wheel disc brakes and it cost me around 2k to do on my 240z...

I haven't but I already purchased a front/rear set of BC Racing coilovers that I cant use with anything other than the Datsun components. I have an R200 rear with a Quaife LSD and just wanted a better wheel choice. Not pushing the HP you are. This is an endurance race car with about 250HP at the crank.

Invincibleextremes Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 My advice? Sell the bc coilovers, and do what I did for the front, then use my rear knuckles with bolt on 240sx 5 lug hubs and 240sx cv axles, that way you get cheap 5 lug setup and also cheap cv axles that work with your r200.... The cv axles alone will eat you alive in costs, you know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Futofab rear axle CV conversion kit. http://www.futofab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=175:datsun-wcr-cv-axle-kits&catid=38:datsun-drivetrain&Itemid=122 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Gotcha, personally I would never have made that choice, but that's me, I'm not a fan of current datsun parts pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either but R&D isn't cheap anymore, yet I understand your position. I have money to spend its just do I spend it just to have better wheel choices?

Invincibleextremes Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 100% right, it's just money. At this point, some 5 lug stubs, drill the drums and be on your way enjoying your ride. That's really the most important thing, enjoying the cars you build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
