The Rototiller Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 i am not too bummed. i was able to buy the entire rear suspension and r200 diff out of a 1978 280z for $80 at pick and pull, so if one of the stub axles is garbage and i have to find another used one, then its not that bad. i really appreciate all the great advise i can count on getting here.

Where's that "Ripped off at Pick-n-Pull" thread? Jump in the van. We're all going to Roseville! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Glad to hear you went that route. Better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Are the stub axles the same on the r180 as the r200? If it is I might have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The outer stub axles are determined by the chassis, not the car. 240/260 stub axles are the same. 280 stub axles are a bit stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rototiller Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 look i fixed it!!!!!! its amazing what a thread file and a die can do......those threads look brand new. JUST KIDDING!!!!! i pulled another one off of a 280z. this time the threads looked great when i removed the nut. thanks to all who advised me to scrap the old one.

zlalomz Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Excellent, does that mean you have extra 280 strut tubes you want to sell like we discussed on the phone or are you still deciding your direction with the suspension. Every time I go to the Sacto pick n Pull i feel like I am going to be robbed out in the isolated Datsun corner. I guess I should try Roseville's.

The Rototiller Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 i still have the 280z strut tubes and they have your name on them. i should be doing the stub axle swap next week. i will call you next week if i have any trouble getting the spindles out of my 240z control arms....thanks oh and roseville pick n pull only had 1 datsun Z car, and that is the one i stripped all the rear suspension and r200 diff out of (for $80).....
