ARE you looking for ANY import rear end???????

There are 2 sorts you know.

Most HR30 rears are same as local MR30, using R180 diffs and 258 x 10mm disc rotors.

But HR30 Paul Newman & DR30 rears use an R200 LSD diff. PNV's use the 258 x 10mm disc rotors and DR30's use 290 x 10mm disc rotors. If you choose to go with the DR rear, an upgrade in master cylinder to at least 15/16, but preferably 1" will be a necessity and with 1" depending on which model you have may include a new proportioning valve and brake lines.

ANY of the R200 LSD rear ends will cost you a minimum of $1500.00 complete, as they get better than $1200.00 just for an LSD diff, plus rocking horse sh!t, will be getting easier to find shortly, compared to an R200 LSD in any form to suit.

There is a guy on ebay at Gosford NSW selling an R200 from a 260Z for about $45.00 presently, but it's pick up only. You would also have to source half shafts to suit, but it would mount straight to the R30 cross member.

Guess you have some thinking to do eh! as it's not just a simple changeover, although everything just bolts on.

Cheers,

Dennis

Thanks for the info Dennis.

I actually already have an R200 LSD diff installed in a Datsun 1600, im really chasing the swing arms and shafts so that i can Do a CV onversion!!

would you know if the HR30 the MR30 and the DR30 share identiacal swing arms and shafts or is it only the DR30 that has the R200 with CV shafts???

Regards

All the components will

All R30 Trailing Arms are identical, but your going to have to source HR PNV or DR half shafts, as they are shorter than the MR's due to the bigger R200 diff. The R200 is much wider hence the shorter length of the half shafts.

Some 260Z's had R200's but they used a universal joint type shaft as opposed to the later CV versions.

I don't know the dimensions of the 510 1600, but I do know of a Bluebird getting around Sydney that put a complete R30 rear end in, including cross member etc etc. They had to weld in the mounting posts etc for the cross member, but it fitted without to much drama.

Good luck, cause your hunting a rare item today.

Anyone with spares would be very reluctant to part with them. Best to check around the parts importers. If you have no joys come back to me and I'll ask about here in Sydney.

Cheers,

Dennis

Yeah i already have the 260Z half shafts in at the moment. I will be swapping the contents of my LSD into an R200 Open which has less crownwheel and pinion wear.

While im at it i wanted to do the CV conversion..

If you hear of anything available please let me know.

Cheers Ghostrider

That was on ebay, wasn't it? I saw it too...

I have a R200 3.9 LSD that I might part with for the right price. Sorry, the shafts don't go with it, unless the price is very right!

R31 import half shafts are the same length as the DR one's as well, but they are thicker then the dr one's, once again though you need the half shafts and all cause they are a different flange pattern to the DR's half shafts!

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
