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!

Can put my hands on 2 3.9 ratios, and a 4.1 ratio tomorrow.$400 each

R200s aren't that special.

Well, not $1200 special anyway.

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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
