OZ001 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 ive seen them done but there's hardly any info about it i was just wondering if i could rip out all the steering components out of a r33 skyline, (the cv joints the rear CV's etc...) and place them on the 280zx??? instead of having the trouble of getting parts from different cars??

Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 PM Richard (260DET) on Ozdat: http://www.ozdat.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=622 I believe he's done it on his 280ZX 2 seater: http://members.optusnet.com.au/greenupr/gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedback Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Do a search on http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php for 260DET and you should come across some posts by Richard about his conversion. I think he did S13 front and rear and it was a hell of a lot of work. You can do it with Z31 turbo components, rears being an easy swap the fronts a bit harder including lengthening of lower control arms by 25mm.

C.A.R. Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 How about you PM him & ask, Anh? He doesn't bite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat0_240_chevZ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 or try an easier option, modify existing stub axles, its not hard, but DONT just redrill them and have 2 of the 5 studs with barely 2mm of steel holding them in!!! check out this post here: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,546.15.html or pic here:- http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=546.0;attach=516 they were 260z stubs i did, would do again for the 280zx z31 4 stud or whatever is req'd. nato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedback Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 As suggested your best bet is to PM and ask him. I'm pretty sure it's a full swap of the whole suspension, crossmembers and everything front and rear. Have a good close look at the pics on the site Lurch posted (if you can get past Miss Canada ) Why do you want to go 5-stud? If it's just for the availability of wheels it is not worth it, get a set of RBs! If you want better brakes, there are other much simpler ways, including going the 5-stud z31, which I believe lets you upgrade to z32 brakes.
