Thnx Mike, but the plan is to purchase new stub axles, so I am not freaking out yet, as I still have time before my 1st race @ Road Atlanta June 15-17..

I will see if they can send me pics...

I appreciate your concern. !!

 

Please post pics of the stubs , also look at my thread about the stub shafts slipping out. You can see the machine work that needed to be performed. Pretty simple and cheaper than buying stubs.

 

PM sent..

 

Good stub axle pix from Wavetrac



Pics of my 2007 base model open diffs stub axles

 

https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...-pull-out.html just a quick and easy cut from being able to accept a snap ring like the other one.

 

new stubs axles (2) in-the-house now...

 

terrasmak...I think we have 2 separate problems...

My issue is that the axles will not slide completely into the WaveTrac diff...so the clips don't even com into play...the stub axles are too long...they are hitting something inside the Diff...

I was reading the NASA Spec Z rules pertaining to interior modification, and it seems like weight reduction is allowed up until section 18.2j that states
"j) Other than to provide for the installation of required safety equipment or other authorized modifications, no other driver/passenger compartment alterations or gutting is permitted."
Soooo does this mean you cant remove all the plastic asthetic stuff in the cabin or not? Im confused. Anyone know what the official standing is on this?

 

Laze, I bet it was just an issue of shaving/trimming down the stub axles, much like the Quaife requires you to do as well:

The Wavetrac picture just looks like a shortened version of an OEM stub axle aka base model open diff stub.

 

Yup, it seems like yours needed to be cut for the c clips and the length shaved down to the VLSD short stub length.

 

The C-clips are fine, that is not the problem...the length of the axle is the problem

you need Qty of 2x VLSD short "un-modified" Axles and it fits perfectly!

 

I needed to have my open diff 07 stubs to be shaved down for my os giken unit as well.

 

3 sets almost ready for SpecZ (six 9s and six 10s). Just need to get the silver ones painted black, then get the rest of the tires mounted up.

 

So, you are the one who scarfed up all the 18x9 RPF1s in the entire world???

Question: What offsets are you running?

 

All were used!

+35 on the 9 and +38 on the 10.

 

Are you sure the 18x9s are ET 30???

I can only find 18x9s ET35 new...

And what spacers are you running?

 

They are +35's. Scott bought the last set I had...

 

I knew I should of looked first. Sorry fellas!

 

thnx!
