I figured it out. Z31 output flange with 240Z 4 stud stub axle bored 8mm with a spacer to seat the drum ebrake. i have a bunch of 4 stud wheels wheel availability is a joke...theres so many 4 stud wheels to pick from

i have some Z32 rear caliper, rotor, and drum ebrake. i want to fit them onto my z. i need R31 hubs to do this, but i live in the USA...SO do Z31 and R31 hubs interchange? what about S12? some AU guy HAS to know this i looked on a couple R31 forums and they use Z31 5 stud hubs in the rear so i'm guessing the 4 stud hubs would be the same too? http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~satotats/zhp/z17p/index.htm thats the thing that got me thinking!

well if you have the contacts you can get turtlemake mk63/rotor set from this company http://www.logic.ne.jp/asi.htm using their rotors will make your life so much easier.

Zmefly: I told him to get stiffer front springs since he was looking at a drag setup, that way there wont be as much rear weight shift.

Well, I'll bite. You seem to have a pretty big goal and a pretty fast Z in mind! Good luck with it! Keep in mind, the Z is a small, lightweight car, and 450hp is nothing to sneeze at even in the heavier firebirds, camaros, and other american muscle the V8 engines commonly swapped from! It'll take a lot more than a strong rear/trans to handle all that power. You're looking at fabbing up 1. rollcage 2. frame rails 3. upgraded brake system 4. upgraded suspension system per JTR or coilovers with a heavier rate up front to offset the weight and something stiff out back but not to stiff you dont want to ride on a 2x4... 5. Misc., other things to even get the car on the road, trust me its not as easy as pie. That said, to answer your question about your rear end, there are numerous things you can do. 450hp in a V8 usually means upwards of 475ftlbs TQ, which basically throws out the R180/200 assemblies. If you want to keep it simple, get a R230 out of a 91-93 Q45 and call it a day, this is an awesome diff, has a good rear gear, beefy axles, CVs, and clutch type LSD! all this in a STOCK package! pretty awesome huh? If you want to go radical, you can swap in a C4 vette rear end, 3.07 R&P, clutch type LSD, disc brakes, all aluminum save the rotors, you'll save about 80lbs in the rear but its custom and you better know how to TIG/Heliarc & fab or it'll be a pretty penny! Those are the two options you can do shy of backhalving the whole car, once you do taht a number of things can be done, Dana 60, Ford 9"/8.8", 4linked, 3linked and so on and so forth. Good luck!

I'd like to know too please!!

Thanks a lot ! hopefully I can find everything I need. Damn thats one sweet Z ...

Where is the MSA site? where can I get their catalog AHHH new to this Z stuff =\

Well I decided to go out and buy a 260 the stock L26 is gonna have to go so I'd like it if everyone gave me their input on the following ideas 3.1 Stroker engine Regrind cam dual carbs ?750 demons?.. ITB setup some headwork done by me that'd make some serious power. but what would the cost be? im guessing the $4500-$5000 range?

Recently I gave up my 65 VW bug and decided to buy a Datsun Z...which one I havent decided yet but I'm leaning towards a 280..now I know the front air dams are not stock but i have NO idea where I can look for/buy them...also I was looking on eBay and saw a Z with IMSA fender flares where would I obtain these... and an air dam/flares in the following style http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/events/0209scc_zcar14_zoom.jpg
