Hey guys,

Just wondering if 280zx suspension and hubs etc are the same as the s30 chassis?

Really?

I know the 280zx is totally different but I thought the 280z was similar, as in still used struts and lower arms similar to the other s30's.

OOPS. apologies Richie. Wasn't wearing my glasses and didn't notice the x at the end. Your absolutely right.

It's funny how I would always read 280z as meaning 280zx but now I read it the other way round. Perhaps I've spent too long looking for US cars.

No probs! Too much time on US eBay and Craigslist looking for good deals I guess! :D

So, for clarity, all S30s are broadly similar (bearing in mind the thicker struts of the later 260Z/280Z), but the S130, i.e. 280ZX, is a completely different design and not interchangeable.
