Bleach Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Being familar with Z's, I'd say that is for a 240Z. That will not fit a 280ZX... and the 280ZX and 510 have the same type of strut/ lower control arm connection. I think the seller is not accurate in their description unless there is something I'm missing. Items that fit a 510 usually fit the 280ZX and not the 240Z/280Z. Same goes for camber plates and tension rods Quote Link to comment
5tinguy Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The 280zx has a different lower ball joint, only three bolts if I remember correct. The 240-280z had the same ball joint as a 510 but the 280zx and 510 have the same steering arm bolt spacing. Quote Link to comment
Datsun510Guy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have swapped 240Z lower control arms on a 510. The 510 came with 2 different size lower ball joint shafts (the tapered shaft). The larger shaft is 14.5mm, the same as a 240Z. If you have the smaller ball joint it will still mount on the control arm-510 or 240z- but the steering arms will be different. I went to the web site and they are a local shop close to me. :D I am going to try and swing by this week to check them out. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Are you buying a set of the arms? Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm interested in seeing these on a car. Not enough to buy them myself of course. They look like a cool design Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I remember now thanks. I got confused. :D Quote Link to comment
Datsun510Guy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Not sure if I'm going to buy these- need to see them first. I called and talked to Mike at New Old Stock this morning and he invited me down to his shop. I;m going by either later today or in the morning. I'll keep you guys informed. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 see if you can't get some more pictures, like some on a car. Quote Link to comment
Datsun510Guy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I stopped by at lunch today. Took a couple of pics. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z91/datsun510guy/ Didn't have alot of time, but the shop looked awesome, very professional. They manufacture alot of parts under private label for companies we all have heard of. I was also concerned about the threads on the arms, but after seeing other parts that they have made for other racing platforms, I feel that these guys know what they are doing. Dont have the funds right now, but a buddy met me down there to see them- and he's purchasing a set for his wagon this week. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 half weight of the stock arm.... Only have of that counts in unsprung weight anyways.... seems like getting rid of the pogo stick would be more effective. The LCA is nothing compared to the strut and brakes and they are 100% unsprung... They sure look cool though I wouldn't mind a set if I wasn't so dam cheap :D Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 nice looking UCA's in the pic... what were they for or did they say? almost look like they would fit my truck... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 almost look like they would fit my truck... That would be nice :cool: Quote Link to comment
Datsun510Guy Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I believe the control arms in the background fit a cobra. I think they said that they also fit mustang II and street rods. Going back to their shop this Sat. with my buddy's wagon to get the control arms installed. Quote Link to comment
Datsun510Guy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I am soooo jealous. They fit awesome. My buddy is taking his wagon back next week to get their new billet steering arms. They have a 1 inch bump steer spacer built in- one piece. I will try to get pics of it if I go back with him. I know they put pics of the install on their web site. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 What is their web site? Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 They have a 1 inch bump steer spacer built in- one piece. Doesn't the bump steer spacer have to be in-between the lower ball joint and strut? Quote Link to comment
