nuclear_z Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Hi guys, Meeting with my new engineer on Wednesday so I thought I best know what going on with the front brakes/suspension... Can you please let me know what struts these are, either 240 or 260??? I know that they are r33 calipers, and BMW 735 discs, but do we think I could pull the disc and have them machined to be 4x113.4 PCD? Are the alloy blocks the bumpsteer removing ones? Cheers, Thomas Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 2, 2009 Moderators Posted March 2, 2009 Easy way to identify the strut is to measure (with a vernier caliper) the diameter; 51mm 240Z, 55mm 260Z. As for the hub, looks like you are using the BMW disc and hub. Might be easier to find another suitable disc to use with a 260Z hub. You would have to re-drill the hub for the 114.3 PCD and not the disc. Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Early 260Z 2-seater (basicly a 240Z body) has the 51mm Dia strut tube as well... Quote
nuclear_z Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Ok. I will rip out the verniers tonight Question though - due to me having the koni adjustable insert coilover setup would these values remain constant? So your saying that I am using a BMW hub and disc? So your saying the best option is to find a 260 hub and then a suitable disc and go from there? I know of a 260 at a Pick-A-Part not far from home.... Quote
