datsunfreak Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 15s are still very popular with the muscle crowd so wide tires must exist In muscle car sizes, yes. B) Not really the same for a 610, unless you plan to run it at stock ride height. And not turn much. ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Just looked and a 225/50-15 is about the widest thing that will "fit" that is still available. What size did you have in mind? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 the only thing that would need wide ass tires are the rears im currenly running 195/70 14s i dont mind a tall sidewall in the rear the fronts will probably be the size you mention Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I should do this to my dime Quote Link to comment
Simon89 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Would this work with 240z/260z arms? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Would this work with 240z/260z arms? Have you looked at what S30 rear suspension looks like? Quote Link to comment
Simon89 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Have you looked at what S30 rear suspension looks like?No never. But I'm going to assume its a no. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 240Z/260Z is drum brakes anyways. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Would this work with 240z/260z arms? No sir. Those use a Chapman strut, not a semi-trailing arm IRS. Quote Link to comment
Simon89 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I just heard back from a nissan wrecker and he told me that there are 3 types of arms. Early/late, single/twin piston calipers. What is the best model to go for? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Well in America 82/83 were the best, as they had updated the rear brakes to a more modern design. Im not sure how that translates to Australia. Quote Link to comment

Early/late, single/twin piston calipers. What is the best model to go for? The later the better, as that's your only chance to get CV halfshafts. As Laecaon said, ideally an '82-83 (and a 2+2 model) is the best donor. CV axles, good gear ratio, better calipers, etc. FYI, our cars never had twin piston calipers on the rear, or front. Never seen an S130 that did. I think he's a bit off there... Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just bumping this to draw attention to the fact that the pics don't work anymore.. or is that just for me that they don't? Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 jeesh micro you just had to bring attention to the fact he's long since sold the 610 :rofl: Quote Link to comment

The internet is the very definition of impermanence. B) The gentleman who owns this car had these photos hosted on his website. Guess he must've taken them down... Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 WTF?! I never knew about this until now. I'd be ecstatic to do this to my 510. Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Alright, next question. Were you able to test out the setup with just the rear LCA's bolted into the 610 subframe? If one were to only get the ZX LCA's, but not the CV axles(some ZX applications didn't have CV axles), would the stock 610 half shafts work? Or are a) long enough to reach the differential, and B) the same bolt spacing/pattern as the ZX hub flange on the LCA? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 WTF?! I never knew about this until now. I'd be ecstatic to do this to my 510. That's sort of where I got the idea. Micheal Spreadbury did it on his 510... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thank you :) You're welcome. Were you able to test out the setup with just the rear LCA's bolted into the 610 subframe? If one were to only get the ZX LCA's, but not the CV axles(some ZX applications didn't have CV axles), would the stock 610 half shafts work? Just to be on the safe size, use the 280ZX diff and halfshafts (non-CV). Then I know everything will work together. I'll look at my 280ZX non-CV halfshafts tomorrow and see if the bolt pattern is the same, but I think it is. As I recall, only the CV axles have the 6-bolt flange. All the u-joint shafts I've seen have the same 4-bolt flange. Quote Link to comment
