mikey Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So I bought a Nismo LSD with some shortened axles from an S15. After doing some measurements I think I can make an adapter to go from the four bolt companion flange on my hubs to the 3x2 bolt CV bolt pattern and if I make it around 25mm think it'll put the CV's in the middle of their range. This is a shot of the axles I have Am thinking I can make some adapters like this Have you any thoughts or feelings on this tomfoolery?!

HighLUX Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Ask roadkill? Pretty sure they roll cvs on that rusty 240 from the photos iv seen of the back end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You should be able to use the outer companion flanges from either an, 910, HR30, or from an S12, DR30, or perhaps a C32? The former have smaller splines than the latter. No doubt the peeps at Z club will know what fits. I've got all the bits to do the same thing to my 510, but I don't know if 240's use the same spline on the stub axles as the 510's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Oh, good call. Sounds like 280zx companion flanges will definitely work, they fit the 25 spline stub axles on the early 240 but have the 3x2 CV bolt pattern. Otherwise surely one of those other options will work. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 There was someone advertising a 280zx wrecking on NZdatsun a little while ago. Dunno if there's anything left though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Only late ZXs had CVs and they are few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 man i have adaptors on all four output flanges on my car, they are sweet, origionally the front two were just plates with holes and used long(not very) bolts as the pcd was same but they kept loosening so changed to two staggered sets as above and they seem fine in the minimal amount of use theyve had, also they are aluminium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Only late ZXs had CVs and they are few and far between. Bummer. I'll try and research other companion flanges with 25spline and 3x2 CV's. man i have adaptors on all four output flanges on my car, they are sweet, origionally the front two were just plates with holes and used long(not very) bolts as the pcd was same but they kept loosening so changed to two staggered sets as above and they seem fine in the minimal amount of use theyve had, also they are aluminium Cool, good to know. If companion flanges are impossible to find then this might be the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The above adapters wouldn't be hard to make for any turner with a few skills. I actually had some "replica" R30 flanges made. The 4x1 CV flanges were machined off. And a nice spigoted shoulder was tuned onto the hub. Then a replica of the 3x2 outer flange was turned up from steel, and the two were fitted together on the spigot, and fizzed together hard.

mikey Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah, the adapters seem to be the go. Way easier than finding the right companion flanges by the sounds. So I'll measure everything up a couple more times and then make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
