Chris Duncan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Does anyone have a source (prefer West coast) for side shims for the R200 diff? Not sure if it matters but it's an '83 280ZX diff I found some for a '90 and up 240SX but not sure if that's the same diff. Do all the R200's have the same side shims?

JMortensen Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Take a shim to your local gear shop. They usually have a wall with 50 different shims for different rear ends. Find one that is close and use it. About 10 years ago there was some discussion about the GM 12 bolt truck diff having very close to the same size. It's really just a placeholder, doesn't need to be an exact fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
