The new diff has something there that the old one didn't. What is it? ] http://s30.postimg.org/xgqbl8ym9/image.jpg Old http...

Hey guys, Yeah I do have the 6 bolt flanges that bolt onto the outer CV and go into the wheelhub as well. In fact, I even have the rear lower control arms. When I have some time I will compare them to the ZX's LCAs. If they are wider I may be tempted to install them in order to run the CV shafts. Wi...

R30 skyline diff/shafts into a s130

So I have some play on my u-joints and possibly on the diff itself too, and I'm wondering if it is a straight bolt in conversion to go to a r30 diff and cv shafts, aside from the moustach bar that will be swapped out for the 280zx diff mounting, or perhaps the entire rear diff cover.

New 280zx owner from South Africa

Hi guys, New z owner here from SA. This is my baby the day I brought her home. Owned her for about 3 weeks now. Also had 2 350z's before this and about 10 other Nissans prior to that. Hope to meet and share with fellow s130 owners here... http://s29.postimg.org/zbzewcton/zx_2.jpg http://s29.postimg....
