gilltech Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Quote I want rid of the stub axle and cv style links . I know the r200 diffs fit Why do you want to get rid of the stub axle? Is your car an auto with an R180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted December 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2019 QQ. Are you taking that thing to the airport and planning to go through baggage check? OdinZ and 260z2seater 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260z2seater Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Gilltech, from what I understand they ain't the strongest link. I plan to molest the car a little with a rb25det, will be aming for approx 250 rw kw and all the information I have I seen so far states that the original diff and axles are not up for the task ? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Gav. It basicly came from there lol, Victoria to SA unfinished not started project. They did well to get it here I will give them that.

C.A.R. Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 There's no need to change the rear chapman struts. Change to an R200 & fit 260Z 27spline stub axles and companion flanges. If you need stronger, contact SW Motorsport or Maddat - they have stronger options again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do the 260z come with companion flanges or a different type, this topic is something I know very little about, just looking on line and most the 27 teeth style are refurbished ? can you go into a little more detail. Thanks In advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Sounds like you need to familiarise yourself with the basics first, standard parts and their correct terminology, workshop manual for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
