Got offered a DR 30 R200 LSD today, $1200. So can someone tell me the specs of this item?

Are they a longnose or short nose? Are they IRS like my R180? What ratio could I expect? and would it be a hassle changing over as I'm really wanting to just plain swap it over?

$400 for an R200 LSD longnose from a DR30 is a bargain mate, and I'm pretty sure the 31 IRS is the shortnose anyway. From memory the longnose R200 into your car passingewe should be a straight bolt in including axles.

The R200's in the DR30/31 are all long nose specials only difference between the two diffs is the half shafts being thicker on the 31. If you can get R200 LONG NOSE diffs for $400 clams snap em up cause they'll only sell for more!! R200 SHORT NOSE sell for bugger all because they're common as!

R200s aren't that special.

They are way bigger then an r180.

You will need the r200 shafts and moustache bar.

Then depends on the flange for the tailshaft too.

If you shop around you may find a bargain.

I got one for $290. With the bigger crown wheel bolts too.

All 3 are R200 mechanical lsd's. Prolly a little loose, take em to a good diff specialist and get em tightened up.

R200s are great diffs.

What I meant was there is no shortage of them.

Lots O cars had em.

280/300zx's, HR31's, DR30's

The zed ones come with a really cool alloy finned backplate.

just got to do a little searching at the wreckers.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
