Planning on going with the newer steel Maverick Motorsports s chassis axle adapters to 350z along of course with the z axles. Anyone have any issues with these yet? I don't have extended Rear LCAs and don't plan to get some. I currently have solid subframe and diff bushings along with ISR ruca and toe rods. Looks like the adapters will extended the axle length approx 3/8 inch in addition to the length of each axle. Plan yo go about 1.5 - 2 inches lower but not slammed and as near 0 camber as possible.

bump.
^curious as well. I was thinking of saving almost 100 bones with the adapters, but it seems like villians is the way to go. my car is pretty low and rear camber is zeroed out so i think I could run them, but i think i'd be better off not having to factor in the geometry change. |

I installed those adapters with Z axles when my car was slammed, tucking rim on 17's with 0 camber. The axles were still too compressed and the CV's broke when I backed out of the driveway. You HAVE to extend the rear track width to run them. |

So question for those of you rocking the 350z axles with either the 350z/Armada and/or early Q45 (3.54 ratio) diff setup, what kind of power are you putting down? And how long have you had your setup? I am leaning more and more in this direction but there isnt much info out there regarding what power these setups can handle. Not into the drifting scene so I am more interested in those using the setup for straight-line type events.

For sure, just based off the design they are better suited to hold down some power. I am just wondering how much power in relation to my old Z32tt/Q45 3.54 setup. As we all know the Z32tt axles are a commodity so I am wondering if this will hold down the power on a slightly mild turbo LSx build. I see that people have installed the setup but there isnt much info regarding what type of driving they do and what power levels they are at.
Also interested to see if anyone has any feedback regarding this configuration: http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import...r-upgrade-2337 Trying to find a suitable answer without trying to find a $400+ Z32tt axle if possible. |

So please help me understand,
All I have to do is: 1. get s14 350z diff bushings from 'maverick' 2. get 06 350z 3.357 6-bolt differential 3. get 350z axles and this works? Axles are the correct length and the driveshaft angle is the same? |

According to what I have been reading yes. Just wondering how strong this setup is in comparison to the Z32 tt axle & Q45 3.54 diff setup since the 3.54 setup has a larger spline count. It still seems the design of the 350z setup has been holding up pretty well.
There is a dude Zamiel Jesse on FB running the same setup. Only difference is that he is running the CD009. Might want to hit him up. |

The driveshaft angle should be fine as long as it stays parallel to the transmission output. If the differential is tilted forward with the adapter bushings then that is no good. |

So I found a couple interesting things
1. In rockauto they sell a 300zx turbo driver axle for $90. Is this the unicorn axle? Whats the catch? NI8399 is the brand new Q45 driver side axle and NI8467 is the 300zx Twin Turbo axle Driver side ATM my plan is email(ed already) the axle company (trakmotive for example) ask them whether this NEW axle is strong enough like the OEM axles to support 800horsepower etc... 2. In car-part.com if you search for Q45 axles it differentiates between 90-94 and 95-96. According to every website they should all be the same 6-bolt axles for 3.54:1 ratio diffs. But car-part.com will show you MANY people have the 90-94 axle. and NOBODY has the 95-96 axle. ??? edit: I found this: " Possible exceptions for the J30 LSD fitment (cut-and-pasted, from Asad): From a search on www.car-part.com for a 1995 J30 VLSD...the years that come up in the interchange are: 1994-1997, with production dates "from 1/94" often given for the '94s (meaning it changed during the '94 model year)... and "Thru 6/96" given for '97 diffs (likewise, meaning it changed sometime in the '97 model year)... In addition, some of these diffs have in the comments "3.92 ratio" or something to that effect. If you search for a '97 J30 differential, you get 3 options: "Thru 6/96", "From 7/96 thru 11/96", and "From 12/96"... meaning there were actually TWO changes during the '97 model year. What those changes were...who knows???" So... Who knows? The site that I got that from has it all wrong too. its rlly old. update: so here is what I wound up doing. I was able to contact "trackmotive" and asked about axle strength, and they gave me the "up to OEM standards or better" speech so I guess its worth a shot. I bought a brand new 300zx driver side axle from Ebay "trackmotive". then I bought a complete Q45 subframe from a junkyard Q45 1994. It didn't have ABS sensor in the input flange area so everything (driver side axle, hubs, and differential 3.5:1 ratio, my same driveshaft length) bolted right into my S14 240sx and I used that new driver side 300ZX axle for the driver side of the 240sx. The only 'custom mod' necessary was the drilling of the input flange of the 3.5:1 diff. I was able to keep ALL my stock arms in the rear end. Which seems like it works really well for launching this V8/4l80e on a 3.5:1 ratio Last edited by Kingtal0n; 07-23-2018 at 07:49 PM.. |

I want to be able to run 3degree camber in the rear with 350z axles and adapters. The adapters are about 15mm wide. I’m thinking of going 25mm wider track on each side. Would this be ok?

Why not run the modified 350z pattern stub shafts instead? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Because i have s15 helical diff and what I know it uses special output shafts.
And I have already bought the adapters and have all adjustable driftworks rear end. So any ideas about how much I need to extend the track?

25mm was needed to fit the axles and make it work.
Problem when widening the track with the adjustable rods is that if you mess up the tractionrod/ruca ratio bump steer gets really bad :/

Anyone here have any experience with the Insane Shafts axles? I'm thinking about buying the 500hp axles, which is about the same price for just the DSS solid bar upgrade. I know a lot of Honda guys have been running insane shafts with good results, and in a way I feel like DSS can mark up their items, due to how their brand has saturated the market, making it hard for anyone else to really come up.

Im lowered but not slammed & at -0.5 rear camber Driveshaft wise I believe the bolt holes dont match the stub on the 350z diff so you have to drill them out to match. Length wise it doesnt change though. I've been interested in the Z/G diff/axles etc because I have a turbo LS and want longer gearing and stronger axles but I have no plans on widening my rear track width. |

Thanks for the feedback. My car ain't gonna be over 500whp, if it somehow does, I'd be fucking ecstatic!!! But, I used my 15% Ebay coupon, which knocked off almost $100, plus free shipping for the 500 hp insane shafts, so not a bad deal.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in here, but 370Z axles are 30 spline on the hub side and can be used with Z32/Q45 hubs.
Also Weir has finally released their chromoly Z33 conversion stubs, which are really nice. Unfortunately they're behind the times and I've only seen pictures on instagram so I can't easily upload one here.

How much axle in and out play is necessary to prevent overcompression/extension?
If you loosen the cv axle nut you can measure the play. I’m currently on 15mm on the right side and 12mm on the left with 0-1degree camber. Can anyone confirm if this is enough? Or what is the guideline on the in and out axle play. 350z diff and 350z cv axles on s14 subframe.

I don't think anyone has really established a tolerance for axle plunge. Just that you don't want it to sit static at either end of it's range. Hard to say what is safe.

11-29-2018, 10:32 AM | #239 |
It should be pretty easy to check. Just loosen the cv axle nut and se how much in and out play it t is.
Please help me out!

s13 chassis and subframe. nismo lca. voodo adjustable arms. 18x10.5+5 wheels running around -0.5 camber. dual caliper brackets (maybe 10mm thickness at hub). os giken lsd. weir 6 bolt conversion 29 spline diff stubs. z32 tt 31 spline (or 32 cant remember) hubs. bought some q45/z32 axles locally. they are about 10-15mm shy of bolting up. wrong axles? need axle spacers? did i forget something?
