Trevor Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Has anybody measured the Maxima halfshafts for use in a Z? Or do any parts work such as their companion flanges, stubs, joints,...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 The last rear wheel drive Maxima (unk year) I looked at was equiped with what appeared to be an R180 with CV joints. Both rear half/shafts appeared to be longer than 280ZXT cv half-shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Trevor, not sure if you only want Maxima info (ie. you got a cheap one) or just a CV solution. I have a CV adaptor that uses 280ZXT CV halfshafts, project completed and items shipping. CNC made and tig welded to your companion flanges. full info on my web www.modern-motorsports.com any q's feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 2, 2002 Author Share Posted January 2, 2002 Hey Ross. Well i am looking at the Maxima pieces in terms of availablility..... In my local junk yards this weekend there are 9 RWD Maxima (no bolt-on brake caliper brackets - I checked them all), and 3 240SXs but no 280ZXs with CVJ halfshafts. So I just threw out the idea to see if anyone else had found any similarity. I'm sure the comp. flange adaptor-to-the-stubs is needed at any rate Looking under the hind parts of every Maxima I found, noting the CVJ shafted IRS, got the idea rolling. Never guessed that the differential of a 2 ton sedan was a R-180. Equally moot maybe the CVJ axles are similarly light duty compared to Z pieces.
