Remove the ABS for starters.

You will find that it will depend on the type of diff your car came with from the factory makes a difference.

If you are running the R200 already, then you can use diffs from SR20det S13/R32 skyline/R33/34 skyline (need to change the backing plate).

Or of course cefiro or laurel diff.

Does anyone know how to identify a R200

I cant find anything in repair manuals, im guessing i have a R200 in my cefiro at present.

I need to swap my diff to register it as the cops in WA aint exactly mech. LSD friendly

I have checked out s13 diff(unsure if its turbo or non turbo as is out of car) but the drive shaft has different bolt up points

LOL as if the police would know if you have a mechanical diff or not. My Cefiro was registered and engineer approved with a mechanical diff in it. Say "LSD" to a copper over here and they'll just say "open your glovebox, this is a random drug inspection".

Peace out.

I've changed mine from R180 to R200. My R180 was 6 bolt, the R200 5. But this is not always the case!! My mates 180SX has an R200 with 6 bolt half shafts.

Best way to identify would be to measure the diff from half shaft to half shaft. The R200 is wider. Hence why you need the different axels, its not just the bolt pattern. R200 axels are thicker and longer than R180.

You don't need to do anything to the end of the tail shaft, mine bolted straight on.

I still have my R180 sitting in the gararge. Too bad its absolutely worthless. I can measure it for you if you like.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
