Rumnhammer Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi all, just a quick request, anyone have a pic (own or a link to) of the rear suspension of a 280z? I'm putting the mustache bar back in, and I have it in front of the two rear suspention mounts that come down in the back for the rear control arm mounting. I can only find pics of 240s and that has it in front of the mounts, is the R200 on the 280 mustache bar mounted the same way? thanks Chris Rummel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumnhammer Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks, but I used that site already to see how the mustache bar is oriented, but unfortunetly it doesn't show what I need. What I need is a shot of the diff in the car that shows if the mustache bar is in front of the rear mount supports or behind it. on the 240s it is in front, but the R200 bar looks like it should go behind the mounts, I screwed up and didn't take notice before I took it down. if you have a 280z with the r200 diff and can look under and see if the mustashe bar is in front of or behind the rear mounts that will work too.

Rumnhammer Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 That is also good, but not stock, that shows the billet one behind the control arm mounts, but I need to know how the stock one goes. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Having just screwed this up in the last 20 minutes, I've got recent experience. On a 280z, the bar goes on with the bar is behind the mounts. You can actually see that in the first link. Mounting the bar so that it is ahead of the mounts puts the front 2-3 inches ahead of where it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Look at this photo: The left is a 240z rear end, the right is a 280z. Notice how the bars are mounted in opposite directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumnhammer Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks, I redid it with the bar behind the mounts once I changed it, it became more apparent, because of the jink in the mustache bar, and the fact that with the bar in front of the mounts the diff was pushed forward way to much to correct. next time I'll take a pic before hand and save myself the head scratching. Again thanks you guys. Chris Rummel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
