Guest Anonymous Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 ok, i came across a pretty good deal on a 240Z close to where i live. i'm thinking about picking it up, but will the suspension components on my 78 280 fit on to the 73 240 without modification? if the springs/shocks/struts won't fit, will they only fit on 280Zs? thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsil Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 The strut assy's bolt in the same, the difference is in the stub axles in the back. I think everything stayed the same other than that. I would hold onto the 240 stuff, because if you ever want to do a CV axle conversion it's easier with the earlier stub axles. ------------------ http://zcar.netdojo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 The strut mounts are different heights and the stock dimension springs are different lengths. If you swap struts, springs, and mounts as a unit I believe you will be OK. but swapping just the springs or just the mounts or something will make large changes in ride height I believe. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 You can use 240 (25 spline) or 280 (27 spline) stub axles (and the corresponding companion flange) in either hub, but you have to use the internal spacer specific for the hub you are using. The 240 hubs almost always use the B spacer. I don't know the spacer used for the 280 hub, but it should come with what you've purchased. The 280 stub axles are stronger and have better flange to axle welds (the most common failure point). And, they are still available brand new from Nissan. Unfortunately, the companion flanges are NLA. ------------------ John Coffey johnc@betamotorsports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fast Frog Posted January 4, 2001 Share Posted January 4, 2001 As these fine dudes have said, there are some differences tween 240 and 280 thru out the exterior and interior of each respective model of car. However, except in a few rare instances, 75 thru 78 Z parts are interchangable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
