Re-drilling mags...

[bbaacchhyy]

Doing a spacer is no worries, I can get that made thicker, but doing the ring is a problem.

AFAIK, the MS65 hub centre is 67.1mm and the Nissan is 68mm.
That means the ring will have a 0.45mm thickness. Not really possible to make.
To do it properly you'd need to machine the hole on the disc bigger, and get a thicker ring made up.
I can get it done, its just more expensive.

What about the 300ZX Z31 Turbo Hub ? The disc normally mounts on the rear for this one.

This is a much more readily available hub compared to the MS65. You may even be able to use the Z32 Turbo, as this disc mounts on the front as per your 4 stud version.

Thoughts ?

The disc normally rear mounts to an MS65 hub aswell...
Someone will have to measure the Z31T hub, or point me to said measurements.

And Wilbo read on aus300zx forums, that the 5stud z31t hub was as rare as hens teeth.
Will be interesting to see how accurate that is.


I don't follow on the #2 turbo bit though

email sent with some pics and basic measurements comparing the MS65 to Z31T hubs.

The #2 was meant to be Z32 Turbo. Overuse of shift key. Above post edited

Rarity - possibly almost as rare as MS65, but I found a few sets in Adelaide afirly easily, but must admit that Z32T ones would be much more common.

Generally the answer is no, and I would never do it.

Go the 5 stud hub on the front with CrUZsidas brake setup or buy Simmons like Draven did.

I thought that Z32, R3X etc used a sealed type bearing/hub arrangment...like JZZ30's etc. i.e. will not bolt onto normal hubs?

ryley - theres an MS65 i believe in the wreckers here in colac ..

might be worth a look for your fronts - if you can spare a tank of fuel to belt down this way

[RyleyMA61]

hmmmm!

thanks stu, maybe I just might head down there! Would they be open on weekends?

If I'm unable to get down in the near future, would you be able to take a peek for me? (I can provide $$ for your time)

cheers mate

Grab them while you can as they are getting hard to find.

[Classique71]

Ill try and pop out today after work if i remember to see if they are still there

[RyleyMA61]

stu, you can be my hero baby

are they going to sting me in the hip pocket for the hubs?

[Classique71]

dunno yet ,havent asked - its only the front HUBS by themselves you need , not anything else ?

[RyleyMA61]

thanks stu- i pretty much just need the hubs-

just these bits:

[RyleyMA61]

ok, just a question for dr ed and/or any other ms65 gurus...

if i went the ms65 route, and wanted to use standard brakes (for the time being)

i need the new rotors, off the ms112. DBA #727.

however, could i re-drill my current MA61 rotors?



or, better yet, is there any direct bolt-on replacement for bigger rotors (and or calipers)?


thanks guys.

Have a look at the DBA catalogue to see what the dimensuions and offsets for each of the discs are, but from memory, the disc sits on the hub in a different spot.

My advice is to grab the wheels from Inportbitz (they have another combo as well) and send CrUZsida a hub so that he can make a kit /adapt his setup for you. It will be less mucking around for a much better result.

yeah that really would be the ultimate. i'll write back to your email now.

thanks michael
