jacob80 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hey, Well I have come to the realization that it is going to be an uphill battle trying to get ahold of Ross at Modern Motorsports. Unfortunately, he holds the key for me to finish my rear end conversion. As far as I know, he is the only one that produces these Z31 Turbo CV shaft adapters that all you to bolt up the 280Z 27 spline count stub axles to the Z31 CV shafts. My question is, is there something I am missing here, or does NOBODY else produce one of these pieces? This seems to be the strongest setup to go with on the S30s, yet I have only seen Ross offer these. Would it be hard for someone to make a couple of these locally, perhaps a large batch for HybridZ members? Perhaps somebody could take down some measurements and a member could talk to their local machine shop about producing these and sell them here. Just a thought, but I know there has been a lot of complaints as far as Modern Motorsports customer service goes. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 my bro has access to machine shop from time to time. i thought about having him make me a flange using cnc machine cut on steel plate. but i dont have the specs either to cut the weld on flange. however, knowing that i would have to weld this on and has to be dead center and balance so it wont have any vibration issues, i am going to back out and leave to modernmotorsports since they specialize in stuff like this. again, i get reply e-mails from them within a couple days the last time i askes cpouple weeks ago so i dont see any issues and why people have issues contacting them. my stub axle flanges will be going out to them soon so ill keep you posted. if it doesnt come back, i will let you and everyone know. im hoping it does come back ot i will be piss. crossing fingers.

rossman Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I don't think there is anyone offering these parts. You might be able to get a drive shaft shop to make you one. Have you sent Ross money? I bought adapters from him a few months ago. I just paid for them thru his website and he replied promptly. I don't believe he has ever completely stiffed anybody.

piston Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 thats good news because my axle flanges just went out earlier and i didnt even realize the location was in canada. lol. hopefully he gets back to me and we can make paypal payments as mm e-mailed me and says they will inform me when they receive my flanges and then make arrangements for payments. i dont feel comfortable stuffing money order into a box and ship it out of the states for 200 something dollars.

RB26powered74zcar Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Are these what you are talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Here is another alternative, if you have the CA$H. http://www.arizonazcar.com/strassy.html All you would need to do with this one is to rebuild the Q45 CV's with a shorter shaft. Just saw this one on Ebay. Worth a look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Datsun-510-240Z-260Z-280Z-CV-Halfshaft-kit_W0QQitemZ310203965626QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item483998e0ba Edited April 7, 2010 by Ed260Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomahawk '73 Z SBF Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I ordered the flange conversion from ModernMotorsports.com website last week and paid by paypal. I sent a message asking for a reply before sending my only pair of flanges to Canada. I've had no reply. Does anyone know if they're still in business?

Six_Shooter Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Are these what you are talking about? That's for the 6 bolt flange. I believe the CV axle in question is for the 4 bolt flange. I'm doing this same conversion to my '73. I had my Grandfather make the adaptors, and I will weld them to my companion flanges, once I get the truck running and move it out of the way of my TIG welder. lol. I am using the 4 bolt axles.

Besides, I don't even know if they are available. Edited June 17, 2010 by Tomahawk '73 Z SBF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Got my flanges couple weekends ago. They are top notch quality. I was very impress by the way it turned out. In fact, it looks nicer than the pic above posted by tomahawk. New flange is pressed on then tig welded, that's why it take more compare to ordering the billet ones already ready go.
