ezzzzzzz Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Sweet! I just dropped by to see a machinist friend of mine and he had a surprise for me. A few weeks past I'd left some adapter drawings (for the porsche units) while he was out on leave. He showed me the start of my adapters which are the four billet steel pucks cut/machined from a six inch diameter three foot piece of stock. I need to supply the actual flanges to ensure the holes are drilled correctly and then....WOOHOO! A couple of axles and I'm in business. I do have a set of 300ZX axles and four inner CV's from a 720 truck. I believe I could use the 300ZX axles with those pieces to create what you've done. Anyhow, Great Job!

260DET Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks, looking forward to seeing pics of your job, it should be a bit more durable than mine. But mine will only have to handle ~280 rwhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 The reality is your setup is very durable for all but diehards. 280rwhp is quite a bit of power. I'm still running the 2.4 L6. The reason for the porsche units is to create a more compact CV assembly. Hopefully this will allow me to run my rear anti-sway bar without modifications normally needed to clear the boots during maximum articulation. I want to be different just like everyone else!...

260DET Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeh, the outer boots on mine go very close to the custom (home made ) sway bar ends. It looks like they will clear in use OK, if not, the bar can be redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 I got the "almost finished" adapters from my machinist friend. They only need the smaller holes tapped for the porcshe CV 8mm bolts and the mounting holes drilled/tapped for the stub axle flanges. I'll do that over the next couple of days. I've opted not to weld the adapters to the flanges since the 280Z pieces are getting harder to come by. There's only the custom axles left to get fabbed. Plenty of photos can be seen in my gallery...check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Coming along nicely there ezzzzz, can see what you mean about the boots giving more anti roll bar end clearance. Mine is close but it does clear, no sign of contact with the boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
