S30 240z 260z 280z Front Wheel Hub 4 Lug and 5 Lug

S30 front hubs: Build a Lighter, More Flexible 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z Front End

If your S30 feels heavy at the nose, needs a wheel-pattern change, or is already due for front-end service, this is the kind of upgrade that makes sense before chasing smaller setup details. Start with the fitment your 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z actually needs, then let the lighter, cleaner hub interface support the suspension and wheel package you want to run.

Rear Camber & Toe Kit: Real Alignment Control for Classic Datsuns

A rear camber and toe kit gives a classic chassis a missing tuning tool. By pairing UniBall spherical bearings with weld-on brackets, the Rear Camber & Toe DIY Kit S130 280ZX, Rear Camber & Toe DIY Kit Z31 300ZX, and Rear Camber & Toe DIY Kit Datsun 510 make the rear end tighter, more predictable, and easier to align around a real build setup. They’re especially useful after lowering, when the factory range no longer matches the car.

If you want better alignment control without jumping straight to a full rear suspension swap, start with the variant that matches your chassis. Set the ride height, make the camber and toe adjustments, torque the hardware, and finish with a professional alignment. That’s how a focused upgrade turns rear-end uncertainty into a setup you can trust.

Datsun 510 steering rack conversion: Sharper Response Without Losing the Chassis

A Datsun 510 steering rack conversion makes sense when the chassis has more ability than the steering system is allowing. The Steering Rack Conversion Kit Datsun 510 brings together Ford Escort rack geometry, a quick 2.4 ratio, drive-configuration choices, wheel-specific tie rods, and a minimally invasive mounting path. It supports 1968–1973 510/1600/Bluebird fitment and works with factory L-series, SR, and KA engine plans.

If your 510 still uses box steering and you’re planning to drive it hard, put this upgrade at the front of the build list. Choose the hardware that matches your wheels and engine, then build the alignment and suspension around a steering system you can trust.
