280ZX struts wanted - buy or swap for R31 style struts

Post by broke »

I'm not having much luck finding any nearby, so just seeing if anybody has them. Need the hubs, strut tubes and calipers but don't really need the rotors or strut tops as they'll be cut up for coilovers.

I have some C32 Turbo struts which I can swap if anyone wants them, similar to R31 but strut tube is a bit shorter, they have big vented rotors and 88mm bolt spacing caliper.

Even if you just have the ZX hubs and calipers that would be a good start, cheers.

Saw those. Shipping would probably add around $100 to that, and they're already pricey IMO

We could CAD you up a sweet brake caliper adaptor & you could use the C32 Struts for your coil over cutting up stuff ?

They need Non Destructive Tested for Cert anyway so if you have to section them shorter and Tig them back up its not a huge disadvantage.

Besides

I owe you plenty of CAD time anyways !
The Answer to your Question is NEEDS MORE VG30

Thanks, but I mainly need the strut tube/stub axle and hub assembly as they narrow the track of the car slightly and the calipers clear 14" wheels without a problem.

What do you want to pay for a pair? I've got those ones with no hubs (Dan Lodge bought the hubs) but the C32 ones aren't much use to me. Would HR30 ones work for you?

R31 and R30 have the same track width - just the alloy caliper usually on the 31's - i had both these in the Y
