any idea what part this is?

[VOoDOoGTX]

I bought this 1990 240 from a friend of mine for 300$. It had been sitting in his drivway for a year and he had taken the engine out and then put it back in. Anyways he complained the car wouldn't start and hes "tried everything." so i bought the car and trailered it to my house, plugged the ECU in and it started right up, ran like shit but it started. thought that was funny and you guys would enjoy it. Anyways onto the real question, he threw in a shitload of parts. one of wich was this, he told me over and over that it was one of the main pieces to a front 5 lug conversion. What is it off of?

Looks like its off of a z32 front suspension.

[VOoDOoGTX]

thats exactly what it is. thanks man.

[Homer_Simpson]

NP, too bad you can't use it for your 5-lugs conversion.

[VOoDOoGTX]

why not? i thought the 300zx conversion would work on mine

i have both sides and the rear

[Sileighty_85]

Only rear will work but only if its from an N/A Z32

FRONT HUBS WILL NOT BOLT UP TO THE S-cHASSIS

[VOoDOoGTX]

yeah but can i press them in? it looks like its the same size. im going to have to pull it all apart and measure myself i guess. otherwise it looks like i have like 400$ worth of parts haha. Anyone want them?

[MrMcgarrett]

S13/S14 front hubs don't press in they bolt on.

Someone just told you it will not work and then you basically ignored him and said you are going to measure it?

And then a second person said something similiar....

i honestly haven't even looked at it. why don't you hope off my shit man. ive been around the forum/car game a long time and alot of the time the whole "you can do that" thing is just garbage. i always like too see for myself, eather way its just something to do.

yes its something to do, but the reason nobody says you can use front z32 hubs is because everyone who tried had their wheels fall off and they're too dead to type on forums


the whole car modifying thing needs guys like you who have the desire to innovate, but for probably almost ten years or so, EVERYONE has said it doesnt work. save your desire to do something different with something that will work

Yeah sorry about that....I guess I just have been on here long enough to know that the person that responded in this case knows what they are talking about 99% of the time.

you dudes love to flame people. weird change coming from a porsche forums to this one. well ranger wasnt that bad haha

You have to understand that the percentage of Porsche owners that are mentally deficient is substantially, substantially smaller than the percentage of 240 owners

[VOoDOoGTX]

your compairing a 240 to porsche in general. Lets compare nissan drivers to porsche drivers. eather way its a dumb argument. every car brand has there own following of dedicated enthusiast that know alot about cars. All im saying is its like comparing audizine.com to (the old) audiworld.com its just a different group of people. im comparing Rennlist.com to zilvia and it seems that people(like you), that like to chime in on alot of subjects that they personally don't know anything about, is larger in this forums than in rennlist.

I didn't chime in any advice other than that the person (Sileighty85) that answered your question is very knowledgable...

deff z32 front suspension, from what I know It cannot be used for a 5 lug swap.

[Sileighty_85]

Thanks jspaeth

OP heres some reading material

[jspaeth]

OP, in the link that was just posted, the second response is by projectRDM.

As a heads up, he doesn't take any shit, but I would say with confidence that he knows more about 240s/Zs than any other person on here, especially with OEM related stuff.


Another person, who if he says something, you should listen to him....just a FYI

[VOoDOoGTX]

thats exactly the info i was looking for. after sorting through all the flaming i found some useful stuff. Eather way ill see these and grab S14 fronts.
