z32 NA hubs on z32 TT rear knuckles?

[jdm_master_X]

another quick z32 brake question...

has anybody tried to bolt z32 NA hubs to z32 TT rear aluminum uprights? i know TT hubs wont work simply because the TT has a larger axle spline count than an s13/z32 NA.

the guy im buying brakes from has a TT car and i want to make sure that everything i need for a complete brake swap is there before i start tearing things apart.

any ideas? thanks guys.

QUOTE: SPORT COMPACT CAR PROJECT SILVIA PART IIn the rear, we simply pulled the entire rear hub, spindle and brake assembly from a twin-turbo 300ZX. This whole assembly bolts in with the exception of three complications. The most daunting is the fact the rear shock mount is different.

There are two options here. Either switch to a twin-turbo rear shock, or ditch the aluminum. The Z brakes can be used with a 240SX steel upright. Simply unbolt the rear hub (four big bolts on the back of the upright) and the drum parking brake (one giant nylock nut) and bolt them to the 240SX upright. Using the steel upright adds 7 lbs of unsprung weight per side.

i wonder if this means that the s13 hubs or z32 na hubs share the same bolt pattern in the back for the uprights. i dont see how Dave Coleman used TT rear suspension if the axles do not spline up. And he is using a standard S13 diff with a Quaife differential. hmm..

any input is appreciated!

There's an article in 240sx tech with your name on it.

i read your article on the uprights. im just not clear on a few things. one being if NA hubs fit the TT uprights. and my second concern is if the conical section is for HICAS equipped z32s. what do you think?

The uprights are the same, the NA hubs should bolt up. As far as I know the conical ball joint seat is for all Z32s.
