which wheel hub.

[usmc210]

I am building 280zx coilovers and have the strut assembly but now i need a hub and breaks bla bla bla.  Can I use my old ones off my 510 or do I need 280zx ones. I can't seem to find anyone who is selling new ones and have only found over priced old ones.  I check junk yards around here with now luck. Any help?

510 hubs will not fit the 280 struts

thank you.

Z31 (early 300zx) hubs will fit, but they put the wheels back out 1/2" near the stock location, versus the 280zx hubs that pull the wheels in 3/4" from the stock location.  I've got a set of the z31 hubs I've decided not to use.  I've got $52 in them, if your interested in those.

can you send me a picture.

There are two styles of z31 hubs on the left (the black one I have a set of).  On the right is the 280zx hub.  There is 1/2" difference from the hub face to hub face.

Looks like one would have to remove/modify the backing plate to run the wider Z31 hub on the left?

Here are the two different z31 hubs, with the 510 hub and the 280zx hub.  The 510 hub is in the middle:

As far as I can see, the backing plate doesn't interfere with the hub..... But now that I have them all together to compare, the 280zx rotor won't work, because it won't line up with the caliper. Hmm, that wasn't mentioned in the article I read about using the 300zx hub.  I'm wondering now if you have to use the 300zx rotor with it.....

 

usmc210, I'd suggest just finding a set of 280zx hubs.  I just read somewhere on one of the Facebook pages about a Z car graveyard in Missouri....  I've been searching, but I can't find it now...
