R180 to R200 is not a simple exercise. The 4 main bolt holes will need to be Lower, and more forward.

Bottom line is custom modification to the rear cradle.

I have a mate who has a R200 setup ready to go into a MR30, may be able to take some pics to clarify what is needed.

Secondly, how much power are you hopeing for to actually need a R200 diff??

oh and congrats on the project, much jealous

Just in addition to above, I thenk there is a 'short nose' R200 then a 'long nose' R200,

Will have to verify, but the 1988 Z32 R200 will bolt in, with the only major hassle is the tailshaft flange needing changing to suit the bolt holes. (different PCD)

and you forgot the axles, are you going to stay with the U-Joint type, or move to the CV-joint type ?

and it does look nice, are they new front guards ?

also I hope you have the glass to go with it.

This is Kents old car he brought another one to start again, im thinking of sticking with his RB26 and RB25 gearbox idea. Dont know much about diffs, kent showed me the custom rear from SWR which is what im thinking of grabing. Yer has been over a year looking now i also have a 4 door which will become a parts car now,

I have all glass and most parts i think.

Passin, i think the diffs are the same.

It does feel like we're getting railroaded presently but no blk180, i work for Alcoa World Alumina. We didn't strike in the end although the shift before me walked out for the full 12 hours. I still have to work Sun & Mon but will def post all info on Tues with pics. Nice project by the way and good luck with the rebuild. My 210 is now officially a V8 but no quicker than my ex triple webered 6. These 308's don't rev much but that'll soon be sorted.

The moustache bar was custom made using the rubber torsion parts from the R180 moustache bar.The R180 is totally different fit for the R200.

The flange that joins the diff to the drive shaft was also swapped for a 260z one, just undid the 22mm nut (approx) with an impact gun and refitted the 260z one. It's not that hard to do, it's just sourcing a few parts and making sure you measure up right for the custom moustache bar.

From memory the R200 was $ 900.

moustache bar $ 80

Half shafts and flange $70.

Hope this helps to make up your mind on the swap

Is it a long or short R200 i also have been told that some come with 12 or 14mm bolts or something like that. Yer SWracing do the moustache bar for 240ks so will grab one of those. Really not sure what to do everyone telling me to go L28 so mite seach my local wreakers see if i can find one close.

R200 longnose - 10 or 12mm ring gear bolts. Only relevant if you're swapping internals around.

Longnose R200's were first seen in the the 260Z, and last seen in the R31 (and equivalent vintage alternative models). 3.90:1 LSD's were fitted to DR30's, 4.375:1 LSD's were fitted to HR31's and I think that 4.11:1 LSD's were fitted to Leopards (or something like that!)

Don't hold your breath on finding one these days and consider that lots of work has been happening (esp. in the US) regarding the use of ~2006 WRX VLSD/CLSD R180 centres in Nissan applications.

The R180 isn't weak, and is lighter than the 200. I would be passively looking for one, but I think that there is plenty of other work needed on the C110 before it's on the 'must have' list :P

(yes my 240Z and DR30 have R200 LSD's, so call me a hypocrite if you must!)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
