rudypoochris Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I have searched for the source/part number for the replacement stub axle nut. The original was peened on to keep it from back out. I have read that a 280zx replacement nut should work just fine. I have seen two part numbers being thrown around: 43262-W1202 43262-W1200 The first I was unable to find, but the second is on courtestparts.com but it is listed as the 280zx turbo & 2+2 82-83 nut only. Is there a difference between the normal 79-83 N/A nut and this 280zx turbo nut? Is it nyloc or does it have some other means of keeping from backing out? Where have you guys purchased your replacement nuts from? Thanks! EDIT: Alternatively zcarparts.com lists its part number: 23-4572 As a 70-81 replacement lock nut...

JIM73240Z Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 azcar has nylock nuts for the stub axles. I'm not sure what the exact size is, but he has them at his shop. jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Are you refering to "Azcarbum"? If so I will try and contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Use the OEM 280ZXT ones . The same nut supplied by Ross in his R-230 conv. kit. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=65&PHPSESSID=81e157ce2c8467453be25bf5b27de171 LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The Nissan OEM nut for the turbo ZX is a locking type and does not need/use peening. It is not a "nylock" nut. It has it's threads rolled so that there is a slight interference (like a "jam nut") between the male and female threads. This interference provides enough friction so the nut will not loosen.

JMortensen Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I don't know if nylocks would be the best choice here. Seems like the brakes and wheel bearings and driveshaft joints would generate a lot of heat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
