deMideon Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I thought the 280 struts are a different size? Means I'd have to replace my springs.. shocks... they wouldn't interchange would they? I may have to go measure everything and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Yes the strut tubes are different (larger for the 280), but unless you have aftermarket springs on your existing setup, it shouldn't make any difference. You can, AFAIK, swap out the stubs. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Yep I do have aftermarket springs... maybe it's time to go to coilovers .... NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO !!!! Not, well now that it's apart... I'll probably end up putting my 377 in it by the time I'm done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 And !@#&$&$&!^#!!! Just finished rebuilding the engine in my 240... balanced, flat top pistons, lightened flywheel, ISKY autocross cam... fun engine. So in order to put on my 15 X 8 wheels I needed to change the lug bolts to longer ones so I can use spacers. Well when I took off my wheel I found that the hub moved more than the halfshaft. @#$%#$%%!!! Means my stub axle splines are wearing out. Ahh Ok whining's done.. needed to bitch to someone as my wife will just tell me to sell it or junk it, nope don't want to talk to her! So I wanted to find out, where can I get stub axels etc.. at a reasonable price? MSA's $233 ea is way more than I want to pay. Thanks!!!

Tim240z Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 2 words, Joe... Junk Yard! Just pull the entire strut ass. from a 280Z...stronger stubs. PITA, but cheap. TIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 That's right I do seem to remember someone on here saying 280 stubs are stronger, they fit Ok in a 240's strut assy? That would be nice since I happen to have a 280 parts car in my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Easier to just swap out the entire strut ass. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
