ZT-R Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hey guys has anyone tried boring one of these sleeves for the 280z diameter. i just emailed the people but i dont know if i will get any measurements or anything out of them. they say its a 6.5" sleeve with a 2.1 I.D I am trying to find a sleeve that is longer than 5" for the 280z http://shop.a1racing.com/cok12457-tk.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 31, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2009 OD of a 280z tube is 2.155". I can bore those for you. $15 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 i have the equipment to do it, thanks for the offer though... i wouldnt think that would be a big deal maybe i will buy one and try it. im just worrying that that might make it to thin. my rears dialed int at 2.168 granted paint is probably the difference.

johnc Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I might have talked with you over the phone, but why do you need more then 5" of ride height adjustment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You should be able to bore them to 2.17" just like these other sleeves they sell. I have these, and they are thin wall thickness. They are strong enough tho, so I don't see why you'd have any issue boring out the longer units to 2.17" They use the same nut, so they'd be the same resulting wall thickness. http://shop.a1racing.com/cok12452-h.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 yea the guy that replyed seemed to infer they are all the same just id is differnt so i would imagine it would work... jon- no that wasnt me on the phone, i think i did pm you though, mainly because i am a retard and my setup will change alot so i dont want to run out of travel.

johnc Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Think about it: 5" of ride height adjustment can get you from the SCCA ITS minimum (5" at the rockers) to near what the Nissan works Rally cars ran (10.5" at rockers) for the East African Safari Rally. Are you really going to be adjusting beyond these extremes? Do your shocks have 9" of total travel? It won't hurt anything to have that much adjustment on the threaded collars but it seems like a lot of work to avoid a little bit of math.

ZT-R Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 yea i think your right yet again. i might end up with the azc in the rears anyway as i will have the fronts here shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
