You can use the 280zx turbo axles as well, and all you have to do is get material and get an adapter machined. This is the route I've gone. 18$ 4140 material on eBay, 100$ machining, and picked up the axles from a pull-a-part for 51$.

Thanks for the vid. I️ have all these parts just sitting in the garage and haven’t gotten around to installing them. Looks like a pretty simple install.

7:15 try to keep the welding surface as clean as possible in between each weld. The benefits are that your weld will be cleaner, penetrate the metals better, and be easier to clean up with a grinder. I find that one of the steel bristles brushes from Harbor Freight work fine.

Ok real question- Anyone have a source for turbo z31 CVs that arent these cheapo rock auto versions? It seems theyre fairly AWOL recently, which really blows.

Do a follow up after some miles and hopefully some hard launches. Would love to see how these hold up.

I would be worried about binding issue since you can't flip the axle cages like most people do with the OEM axles. Not sure it the axle adapters you used are shorter than the Modern Motorsports adapters but if they are not you might get binding issues. Would love to see an update when you get some more miles on it.

@SpooledUpTV

+JT's Garage I was told these were thinner adapters. I can say that the way my suspension sits from being lowered, it would have to bounce up to even come close to binding. Also, went out scooting around the other night and it feels fine. Nothing out of place and feels smoother than the old axles.

Can anyone help me or point me in the direction for upgrading the CV axles on my 280zx?! Also, excellent video! Long live the Z!

did you ever figure this out? I know the N/A zx has 4 bolt companion flanges, the turbo has 6 bolt companion flanges. so you cant do a turbo cv swap, but the z31 has 4 bolt companion flanges. I am currently trying to figure out if its the same length and bolt pattern

Where you get those solid u-joints. Cool Vids

Yes all the turbo axles are the same, except the shiro special has different length splines and aren't exactly compatible. na z31 axles have the same bolt pattern as a 280zxt axle but apparently are longer and not compatible with S30 swaps. Never tried it myself though.

I figured I'd have issues in my z31 since it's got an LS in it now and I had the stupid idea of throwing boost at it idk I can do it but I wonder if it's even sensible to swap an inferior irs for a strong solid axle and lose a bit if handling idk my car is just a cruiser and occasionally a race car but idk someone give me their opinion yes I can instal a solid axle but my question is WOULD YOU keep in mind the car will be making more hp the the stubs can handle

Is there adapter you can buy then just buy z31 axles to bolt on ?

did you use the washer that came off original? mine wouldn't fit back in after the adapter plate was welded.

I used this set up on my 240z with a kaaz lsd and 275/60/15 hoosiers and I brake these axles all the time around 500hp ls1 6 speed 🙄

You seriousely trust that weld job? By the looks of it I'd say you have about as much penetration as using bubble gum. Hopefully you put a good bevel on the mating parts so you can get some penetration. But personally I'd a had it tig welded for the simple sake of safety.
