Jig is for rent 50$ with a 100$ deposit. You pay shipping both ways. 1 satisfied customer so far. Reach me on Facebook or Instagram.

This is a jig milk engineering would be interested in making, if your not! But you should. I feel this is one of the most important, find, in Z modding in a good bit. Great job, who knew. Nobody has ever brought this up, I'm sure they just drive, thinking it's tire wheel unbalance!

Absolutely a discovery of great importance for all of us Zcar owners. As you said, most of us would have simply made sure that it fit within the recess & welded it in place. Obviously your machine shop experience has served you well in the way you thought thru the potential problem & developed a solution. Cudos to you and your willingness to make your jig available to others. QUESTION: What was your pre-heat temperature and did you MIG or TIG? THANX!

Thank you! I did just start basically interning at the machine shop as a second job and this was my first project. Had a lot of help but it was great to learn. I tig welded it (seen at end of video) but I can’t tell you what my preheat temp was. It’s funny, my temp guns battery went out when I went to shoot it, on list to get a new one. You may even see it on the bench.

awesome vid/info my i suggest to make the JIG larger so bolts can be added to clamp the flanges together before welding and cooling

I have older adapters from CJ Cave...i think... he had a jig that he would ship to you for a rental fee so they stayed centered.

I always enjoy your content, than you for sharing. The ZCarDepot adapters have a centering lip on the inside that helps center the companion flanges. I recently had mine welded on, but my car is not running yet. Hopefully I don't get the wobble. Applying that much heat from the welding did warp the adapter a bit so I do have to machine it or sand it flat again.

Omg that would have made this so much easier! Just that alone makes their design superior. Wow

Very informative video!!! Nice work with the jig!!

Interesting, I was considering going this route too. But looks like a pita. Might go back to the alternative of 280ZX Turbo axles and milkfab.

Looks like a pretty good alternative for ok hp. I’m above 400tq tho. I have rented the jig to one person so far so thats an option

Thanks for that information. It's very helpful.

maybe a 3d printed jig part would work for just tacking

Yea 3d print would very least get you closer than trying to measure it. Or be quicker. Good thing about a metal jig you can clamp it down to reduce warping when welding.

Thanks for sharing

I just purchased some adapters from car depot but there adapters are flanged unlike the ones you have which do not have any center flange

Could we possibly get a file to 3D print the jig?

It’s 50 bucks plus shipping to rent the metal one. I understand diy 3d printing, but I don’t have a dxf made. So you’d have to diy that too.

Good information 👍👍👍

So would the use of these axels also fit into the r180 diffs on the early Zs?

@StewartMotoring

No, from my quick search the r180 is 27 splines and the r200 is 29. So these z31 axles are 29 spline.

Are you going to sell said Jig? would help out the community a ton and I am sure you could make a few bucks

I think it would too, I’m planning to rent it out. That way you don’t have to pay for a 1 time use. Cause it would be pretty expensive to make and sell. That was a thick piece of metal.

Hi there are still renting this tool?

To sell them it would be kinda expensive for a 1 use jig. I think renting it out would be better/cheaper for everyone. I just want to make it a bit better design and then I’ll post in the forums

That’s not a bad idea either. I wonder how useful a plastic version could be. I know it wouldn’t help with warping but just to get it straight quick and dirty

@@StewartMotoring yes sir and makes it easy to make another if it gets damaged during a tack. i would buy the file or 3d print in a heart beat

Why don’t you just have people pay you to do this
