Suspension & Steering

Hello, I have a lsd differential from a 91 240sx that I want to put in my 240z......is this possible? thanks

Hey there guys, I'm sorry I know this is somewhat repeating but I tried a few searches and browsed a few titles and couldn't find what I read a while ago in regards to 5Spd boxes. I'm looking at getting a 5Spd for my 240K, because let's face it, it's not really driving if you're not changing the gears yourself. The guy I bought the car from has one that he was going to use to convert, he's told me it's out of a L28ET DR30, and from what I remember of his descriptions when I was getting the car is it's a good box and so he wants a bit for it, it's the type where 1st gear and reverse are on the same branch, I have no idea what to call the box, or if it has a specific name, …

While looking for Suby LSD's at the junkyard, the owner mentioned, "Why don't you put a Corvette rear end in it? I've seen a couple Z's like that. It's quite a bit lighter." I didn't ask for proof, just kindof 'filed' the info and moved on. I have never seen such a transplant. Perhaps this is a common mod on V8 Z's? Has anyone seen or done a Corvette diffy install? steve77

Heres a pic of my (RHD passenger) Left side suspesion strut. Its not supposed to be unscrewed like that is it. The other side is done up so you cant see any threads. Would this cause excessive negative camber? The front left had excessive negative camber compared to the right, Also I think the metal washer was missing of the back of the (damn whats that rod thing called that sitcks out from the frame rail to the lower controll arm not the sway bar the other one) bush.

Hey there! I have a 1976 280z and I had the U-joints on the outer ends of the halfshafts replaced a year and a half ago, and one day a few months ago, I was coming off of a huge on ramp into freeway traffic, and I was really gunning it. I heard a large clang and clunk from the rear. I thought it was a rock coming dislodged from a tire in the rear. Later on, I found out that the noise I heard was the U-joint basically exploding under the pressure/ centrifical force. I got it fixed though, so no worries, but I was amased after the fact how close I was to disaster. I can only imagine what kind of damage the halfshaft could do whirling around in the wheel well. BTW, I also ha…

Found this page the other day. There is a lot of interesting stuff on here--even thought it is a neck-car site. http://www.stockcarproducts.com/techindx.htm steve77

When looking into bleeding my clutch due to a leak, I had a question. When I am looking at the clutch master (where the resevoir is to fill the clutch fluid next to the windshield washer fluid) I was reading that therer should be two screws on the underside of the body., one having the rubber piece on it and being able to drain. When I was feeling around I only felt one potential screw and nothing else. Also it had no rubber on it. Am I looking in the wrong place? Should I be at some other area to drain the fluid? SuDZ

Hi, Can someone tell me the size and pitch of the steering wheel thread? Thanks, Ivan

Hi all i was wondering if anyone new of any places selling Tokico struts in Newyork as my brother is on his way out there on Sunday and hopefully he'll bring me back 2 for the rear of my 73 240z. Any info would be great .. Thanks.. :stupid:

Hey I have my tranny on the floor after I just put on a new dual friction clutch. I was wondering since I have the tranny out is there anything I should do as far as maintenace on it. Also this is going to sound dumb but where the hell does the tranny fluid go? Back after a nice long summer in the Z......... Frankenstein Z

I just put in an LSD Rear End from a 1988 300ZX turbo into my 240Z. (supposedly rebuilt) It seems fine, there isn't any play, but it is louder than my last R200. It has a whining sound to it. any thoughts?? My Ujoints are in good condition. It seems to get quieter as it warms up.
