calistile Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I went to the swap meet at Eagle Rock, and picked up some stuff. Just wanted to check in to see if these struts are in fact 280ZX setups. I started questioning this when I noticed the hub was a full circle, as opposed to other pictures I've seen where it's different, or maybe I'm wrong. But that's why I'm asking for help here. If more detailed pics are needed, please let me know. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 They look like the right ones the 280zx i modified for my 510 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Research, research, research. Always know what you are looking for and buying. You should know more about it than the guy selling. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 They appear to be a 280ZX strut. The only other possibility is that they could be from a Maxima. You will know when you go to buy brake pads. If the pads don't fit, then they are Maxima struts. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Are the rotors vented, I did the same thing, doh, mikes right.thought these that look like yours where zx but trust worthy folks who have done the research leed me to believe they are 710, wich make me think yours are too. I cant find a def answ er though. on second inspection yours look different never mind Edited June 28, 2011 by Noflagredbanner Quote Link to comment
calistile Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Mike definitely makes a valid point, however, I was at the Eagle Rock swap meet, and didn't expect to buy this so quickly which is why the research wasn't there. The only thing that I've done research on is that I know the rotors are vented, which these are. Also, being a Datsun swap meet/car show full of Datsun enthusiasts, I was just banking that the person was honest and not trying to take me for a ride. Plus, if they weren't the correct set, I could always just sell them anyways. Thanks so much guys for the help and reassurance. Can you recommend any places online to buy rotors/pads/brake lines?

thisismatt Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Yes, those look like 280ZX struts & brakes Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Maxima strut left 710 strut w/ non vented rotor right. Maxima coil is larger diameter and shorter like the zx. 710 coil is more like a 510 coil. The Maxima strut was about 1 1/2" shorter. Quote Link to comment

Thanks guys! one more thing the bump steers spacers for zx are the same as the 510, the maxima are larger, if they fit right on to the 510 they are zx. the hub is a full circle, we normally grind the circle to slide the coil over body, then weld it, now it will lock different like the ones you see on the 510 with coil overs. I make the bump steers and coil overs for 510 let me know if you need more info. also if you use the maxima struts you do not need wheel spacers. thanks Quote Link to comment
