  1. Hello everyone, This is an awesome write up, love the details so far! Kudos to everyone who shared! I am currently trying to source the Ratech shims mentioned in the above post. From what I can gather from the Ratech website, the below kit is the only one that will come close to fitting without modifying the shims. They are 3.75mm too small on the O.D. and the listed thickness range is either all wrong or they forgot to put a "0.0" in front of the .440-.564. Are these shims actual thickness 0.044 to 0.056"? KIT I.D. O.D. Thickness range I also found this kit on Ratech's site, it seems like the thicknesses are more what we require for this, however it would also require a reduction in the O.D. size. which I would not want to pursue. Curious if anyone has a Ratech kit number I can go off of. Furthmore, can anyone confirm if the bearings mentioned in @speeder post on feb 14, 2011 help to alleviate the backlash issue? Copied below for reference. "Don't know if Mike ZGAD passed this on to you, but while doing my diff (the initial one), Donny, the guy at the shop who did both Mike's and mine, had me research a thicker carrier bearing because he ran into this same thing. I came up with Timken # 32211 92KA "TRB-ISO ASSY" - I actually took the old bearing of the desired thickness into my local Miller Bearing store to match up. I think he used two of them - and the diff build was completed. I think the way Donny knew that a thicker bearing was required was that he measured one of the old bearings removed from the Armada diff ( As best I recall - the desired ones may have been in the Z case), and found that they were thicker than the ones from the Z32. Memory is foggy but at one point He was thinking about making some shims but I believe the thicker bearing solved the problem. Mike's build went a lot smoother as a result" I would love some feedback on this, I am currently trying to build my 3.36 ratio Armada diff with the Z32TT VLSD to put into my 72 240Z with the TTT R230 kit. Thanks, AJ
  2. Looking to buy a longnose R200. IN BC CANADA. LOCAL PREFERRED MUST BE 3.3 OR 3.1 ONLY!!! GEARS MUST BE IN PERFECT USED SHAPE. BEARINGS WILL MOST LIKELY BE REPLACED. Diff is going into a 650whp 240Z. Currently have a perfect condition longnose R200 with 3.7 ratio. My 3.7 has brand new bearings and about 1500km on it. Maybe a trade can be done. Thank you for your time. My name is AJ 604 302 8921 ajingarage@yahoo.com
  3. My 1972 240Z has worn out inner tie rod ends... vehicle control too important!! From what Ive searched finding new factory ends is rare. But why put the same parts in? Does anyone know of any steering rack upgrades or swaps that are common and actually stronger/better?? Any insight into either repairing or swapping this steering rack would be awesome! 4.5 years into the build and its a streetable 650whp 1.5jz 6 speed 240Z Please help me use the 6 months of insurance I put on it! Thanks
  4. can you email me a picture and price z240? ajingarage@yahoo.com

  6. Hello all! I am from outskirts of Vancouver area of British Columbia, and I am in need of some parts for my somewhat broken longnose R200. I need a new rear cover as I tore mine to shreds with my 550whp 1.5JZ 240z (1/4 mile traction hop with toyo R888's...305 wide) also very interested in finding a 3.3 gear set for it aswell please call or text me for fastest response. My name is AJ, 604 302 8921 I would love to find a much stronger cover as 550whp is the least amount of power this car will ever see. running methanol injection and more boost once this diff is fixed. see my broken cover attached
  7. I started over 3 years ago when I bought Dustys old 240Z. countless hours of work later I have what I call a zedsled. when I started^ I personally built and installed and built the 1.5JZ with forged rods and the rest of the short block is stock. The V161 transmission was installed with a stock clutch and flywheel of its era(latest model supra 6 speed) I also had the cage extended to the strut tower area to make the chassis more rigid. September 22nd, 2014 I drove the car for the first time. It had a tune thrown into it and impartialy bled cooling system. drove it accross town with no doors or hood on yet, and put it onto the dyno. About an hour later we had the break-in horspower: 539whp and 427wtq at 15 psi boost on pump gas more coming soon
