Guest 400 ci 280z Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 i was just going to ask and see how hard it is to swap an entire 86 300zx rear assembly onto my 280. i just want to see if i am going to run into any big problems doing this. the reason i am asking is my dad just got 2 300zx's for $120 and the only thing they are missing is the interior. he got these for our 300zx that has a blown engine and i just realized i could use a lot of the front and rear suspension on my 280. thanks for the help. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j260z Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 they are two totally different setups. i'm not saying that it can't be done but i don't see why you would want to do it. you would not only change the characteristics of the car but you would also be adding a ton of weight with the cross member and trailing arms. anything can be done with enough time and money but IMHO it would be a waste of time.

dmyntti Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I also got a complete 300zx rear suspension. I got it for the LSD differential but was considering trying to convert some of the other parts. I.E. bearings, stub axles, disc brakes etc. into my 240Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
