jacob80 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hey fellas, just a couple questions here: 1. I want to seize the clunking noise once and for all, so I have purchased a Z31 CLSD and CV axles, and four extra clutches as an upgrade from only two. I will also be purchasing the AZC mustache bar and bracket to enable me to use the finned cover in my S30. This is my only potential dilemma: how long should I expect to wait on Ross to get back to me so that I can get these: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32_53&products_id=56 2. Also, it says that I must supply a companion flange. Where can I get these? 3. Are 280z stub axles hard to come by? I haven't seen many around. Are there alternatives? It looks like Modern Motorsports makes a billet set, but are they worth it? I am running 4 lug wheels. 4. And lastly, is it still possible to get my hands on a Ron Tyler differential mount? Thanks guys! If you think of anything else I am missing, please give your input! MODS: Please delete this thread that is posted over in drivetrain, thanks!!

Thanks guys! If you think of anything else I am missing, please give your input! MODS: Please delete this thread that is posted over in drivetrain, thanks!! Nice choice. I will be going with the same option down the road sometime. I've been trying to get a hold of Ross for over a month now (you'd think that someone who's receiving almost a thousand dollars for two items I'm trying to order would be on the ball a little better). Unfortunately I can't find who he gets his parts made by and I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs until he decides to reply. I understand a busy man, but a five minute phone call won't throw the galaxy out of order. You can find the companion flange on your car (if you can wait that long.. haha) or a junkyard! 280 stub axles are as common as 280 parts cars!

Ok, I'm going to sound really n00bish right now, but is the companion flange the flange that your driveshaft flange bolts up to (wow, thats a lot of flange!)? If so, how does it come out? Gosh, I really hope I can get a response out of this guy. Does anybody know any alternative to this fellow? Perhaps dimensions? Thanks!

I got a set of the 280ZXT adapters from Ross and they are nice. He usually gets back to you in about 2 weeks or so it seems like, I've bought a few things from him now. 2. You have companion flanges on your car. They are what your halfshafts or axles bolt onto on the inside of your rear hubs. I attached a picture of mine and circled it, these are after Modern Motorsports/Ross modified mine showing them on the rear hub. 3. You will have to find someone parting a car or go to a junkyard to get some...but they are a pain to get off. If you find someone selling the 280Z stub axles they likely will have the companion flanges to go with them. 4. I just went to Roostmonkey's thread for the RT mounts and it looks like he has some more available but is currently away from his shop, you might have to wait a few weeks til he gets back to order one. You might as well shoot him an email. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/85384-rt-mounts-are-ready-for-shipping/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
