C110 Coupe.

[blk180]

This is my latest project,

So i was wounding what needs to be done to fit a R200 diff?

[passin ewe]

If the diff is the same as the C210, I'll be able to tell you all about it.

[N1GTR]

Wow nice pick up Brad, where did you get it?

[Factory 5]

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

[Factory 5]

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.

congrats man! You've been looking for the right car for like over a year now right?

[Ravenoak]

Is this Kent's machine he had started to build up?

[blk180]

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.

[blk180]

Guards are not new they need a little work, Same with the bonnet.

[passin ewe]

Ok I'll post info and pics tomorrow. I'd say we'll be on strike again for 2/3rd's of the day. Blahh

[blk180]

Do you work for WA railways Passin?

[harvo]

Do you work for WA railways Passin?

There's the right way, the wrong way,and the railway, which is usually worse then the wrong way.

Sweet find mate, love the shiny black vinyl interior, looks new?

[passin ewe]

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.

awsome project

[passin ewe]

Changing from R180 to R200 LSD Longnose. The half shafts pictured are 260z ones, these replace the R180 shafts.

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

[blk180]

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.

[Factory 5]

Fairly sure its the long nose.

Looking at the pics on ebay, the shortnose comes out of the S15 and R33 and stuff like that. Then the Longnose comes from HR31 and DR30 Skylines, Z31 300zx

Give SWR a call, or better yet drop in and say hi.

[coupe72001]

You'll probably save a packet by hunting for a smashed/rusty/dirtbag 280c, 280zx or nissan patrol and grabbing the L28 and assorted goodies out of it.

[BensDR30]

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

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