can you get mini spools for the stock MR30 diffs and on another note do you need a different drive shaft to run a r200 longnose in an MR

I advise strongly against lockers in an R30...mate of mine had one for a bit and he broke half shafts like you wouldn't beleive, killed couple of diffs, and at one stage we broke a half shaft which cut a rear brake line as well....yuck!!! Don't do it

I know some people that locked the rear end of their MR30 and they don't have any problems with it. It should be fine provided your cv's aren't up the shitter.

For your money I'm told a locker is the best bang for your buck.

couple sidenotes;

Replace the bushes allround with poly-uraphane ones.

Don't let off the throttle in the middle of slides, you'll just spinout.

When driving, you're either sideways and it's on, or you're not and it's off.

of course, if you're allot less inclined to go sideways then buying an LSD probably isn't worth it in the first place.

locker = cheaper, especially for track drifting.

Gostrider: You said before that nissan have never made a R220(9 inch) but they actuly have! But its a shortnose type and they come in Z32 300ZX's!

And what are all you guys going on bout lock diffs being bad or what ever? They are perfectly safe in R30s they dont break axles at all I have had the same one in my last 3 HR30s(built it for my paddock/derby car) and then it went into my turbo roadcar then into last non turbo roadcar and it was with the same axles for all of them and it probably ended up doing around 10000kms or more so far! and a mate has had a locker in his C31 laurel for the last year and a half and has not broken anything!

Stuff having a R200 LSD unless they are rebuilt with a higher pound kit as they are just to inconsistant and unpredictable and so over priced its just stupid!

Maybe you should read more posts as you will see I said the factory R200 mechanical LSD's are no better than a single spinner (open diff) because Nissan used them as a marketing tool more than a performance option.

I have 2 x R200 LSD's, both long nose, both 2 way mechanical, one is a Cusco centre with pre loads of about 80lb and the other is the stock Nissan out of my PNV.

As for Nissan making an R220, your full of yourself, the Z32 and S13/14 and R32/33 diffs are all R200, no such animal bigger in IRS made by Nissan.

I have one, short nose viscous LSD 3.692:1 from a manual R32 and it's most suitable as a boat anchor.

I thought the Z32 300ZX-TT diff was the R230... http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...+r230&meta=

Phil,

I looked at the link, but I don't know for sure how they categorise the Z32 diff, but what I can tell you is, the R200 back plates are interchangeable. From our long nose mechanical DR/HR30's, HR31's, Z32's, S13/14's etc. They are all interchangeable, the later ones just have allowance for the ABS.

I have this back plate on my R200 long nose.

By Quaife do you mean a Torson gear/worm type mechanical LSD ? Very interested to see details if thats the case .

Cheers A .

Yeah that's the one, Quaife from the UK make it, they call it an ATB (automatic torque biasing) diff, so similar to torsen.

I got it through Palmside http://www.palmside.co.nz/ in NZ, he (Deane) ordered it in and then posted it to me in Newcastle, very easy.

I had a diff shop fit it, they had to bugger around a bit with shims setting the backlash, but all went together good.

So far I have taken it around Wakefield park, and it seemed great, great traction and very smooth. Going in a hillclimb this weekend so will see how it goes around tight twisty stuff.

I put a KAAZ LSD into my R200 Longnose. It is a real cranky bugger when it is cold! No difference between it and the locker it replaced (except when the clutch pedal is down, of course).

Disco, here's some details on the Quaife ATB for your R200.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).

      Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.

      I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating.

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.
