Has anyone got a use for one of these in 3.9 ratio? AND is $250 to much money.

Comes complete with half shafts if I don't buy them first.

Cheers.

i was under the impression that all R200's were LSd's apart from some of the 280xed ones which dont fit r30's

Do the axles fit like this, or are they like the old 1600 styles with the 5 bolts holding the axles seals in place? also do you know if i can fit the old style axles into this type of diff?....bugger it ill give it a go anyway..BTW my R200 simple spinner only cost me 100 bucks(no axles tho)it came from an r31

most R200 are not LSD :)  only the later skyline ones 32 onwards are all LSD and they are short nose not long nose

Beg to differ...All the DR30 range, and i beleive the HR30 and Paul Newman versions all ran a clutch pack LSD as standard from the factory...You the part about the long nose/short nose bit right though

Depends on what you define as 'most'....long nose R200 was used all the way back to 260Z in 1974, but LSD wasn't a factory option for cars sold in Oz and 'our' R30's only came with an R180. So 'most' turbo R30's sold in Japan may have had an R200 LSD, but long-nose R200's with LSD are rare in Oz and virtually all are imported or retro-fitted aftermarket jobbies.

Yeah, the thing is, "most" of the (long nose) R200 diffs that are in Australia now came out of Zeds. Of all the Zeds, only the Z31 300ZX Turbo came with an LSD from the factory.

On top of all that, you have the 10mm / 12mm crownwheel bolt hole issue...

It isn't an issue drilling out the centre's holes, but it can be more of an issue going back the other way (ie. sleeving the 12 mm centre holes for your 10mm crownwheel - like Stagefumer11 might need to do).

The crownwheel may not locate on the bolts, but they help the crownwheel maintain friction on the centre. When the diff gets abused, they sure can be in the line for some punishment! I have seen these bolts sheared off more than once...

True but open R200's are still around and the 12mm bolt type is the best option here , why Nissan went that way with Turbo DR30's , R31's etc . Once you have the LSD carrier the rest is pretty strait forward . You need to find a mechanic thats been down this road many times and knows what what .

For everyone's enjoyment, I thought I would show some photos I just took in my shed. I happen to have a 10mm and 12mm (longnose) R200 handy...

A shot of the subject at hand. 12mm bolts on the left, 10mm on the right:

Note the difference in crownwheel thickness:

Matty I'm curious to know the ratios of both of those as most differential manufacturers have a different offset somewhere in the middle of the ratio spread . I can't remember with R200's but I think it may have been around the 4.375 point . Anyway is not generally a drama as theres heaps of latitude for correction , my old H190 with the Detroit locker used an approx 100 thou (2.5mm) spacer plate as its offset was intended for the 4.625 ratio which was the change over point in H190's . R200's are much better than H190's because the spacer rings or shims are on the outside of the carrier bearing races not the inside (pulling bearings off to select fit shims is a time consuming pain in the butt) . So the spacer rings can be used to a limited degree for changing offset (as well as setting bearing pre load) . The really difficult situation is where the carrier with the lower range offset is used with the higher range offset crown and pinion as there is no way to move the crown wheel far enough to get it in next to the pinion .

I don't know if this makes any sense to you but understand that every different ratio will have a slightly different crown wheel thickness . This is because the number of pinion teeth change and so must its diametre . There's no whay Nissan would have a different main housing for each ratio so the crown wheel thickness was varied to allow the difference . R200 ratio's ranged from around 3.1 to 5.3 , the tallest having the lowest no of c/w teeth and highest of pinion teeth and the shortest vice versa . The carrier flange offset changed in the midst so that taller ratio c/w's would not be too thin .

Cheers A .

And so would Stu Wilkins amongst others . Anything shorter than 4.375 is now rocking horse`do do . Stu searched world wide for 5.1 and 5.3 with no luck . I remember seeing one of the last brand new 5.1's before it went int a Zed rally car . I think these two ratios were Nizmo options not used in any production vehicle .

Cheers A . P.S if that 3.7 had 12mm bolts I'd buy it off you !

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By hoodedreeper · Posted

      Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
