Brad-ManQ45

When all is said and done, the viscous starts to look pretty good: No clutches to wear out. Did you know that the NISMO clutch won't take much over 300 ft/lbs and live long? I believe Scottie-GNZ wrote something about this... The NISMO unit is the clutch only, so you have to tear a diff apart to put it in - more bucks. Whether R200 or R230, you can just get it and not have to dig into it - total cost ~ same as NISMO, maybe less. That said - if Auburn made an LSD for the R200, I'd be interested...I love cones! 8)

I think that '96 was the cutoff year - '97 they went ugly...

Fuel injection was available thru 1965. My dad had a '64 fuelie, silver/gray convertible w/4.xx rear gear and HD suspension. I was 10 and loved going to school in it!

Thanks Mark, do you know what year Q45 your diff came from?

In a word - yes. Please review the sticky at the top of this forum....

I'm wondering because of the axle issue - are the Q45 R200 and 300ZXTT R230 the same width at the axle flanges? wonder if Ross actuall used an R230 or the Q diff... If not, then a lot of effort has gone into Q45 CV setup for an R200 - granted, it is a limited slip, and the axles are stronger. I don't know, I think I'll start with my R200 and wait 4 one of the Armada R230's with 3.36 or 2.xx ratio for the turbo V-8 project...

Ive lost track/never knew what with the is it an R200 or R230 issue....

Why would you want to transfer weight to the front - you need the traction...

I'm in luck - the core is only 19" wide - it's 24" wide/long overall! The dims in the listing were wrong - he has 2 different i/c's for sale and I happened to pick the small one to ask about!

Good thing pallnet doesn't have a ZX - whoever listed it mistakenly said it was for ZX's too...

They are the same... '81 was diff- has the CAS on crank ...

frank280zx: I didn't see pics of the 300 zx flares - which page are they on?

If it is a late 260 (turn signals in grill), yes...

Sorry to hear about your mishap, glad you're ok...

It can be done! Just search for "The 350 Engine Chevrolet Should Have Built" or go here: http://www.airflowresearch.com/articles/article03/A3-P1.htm

Pete P. used 2.5" X 2.5" X .093" wall square steel tubing when he replaced his... http://alteredz.com/structuralmods.htm

For what? Just street - Eibach - better ride. Autocross/racing - Tokico/other straight/non progressive for best handling/responsiveness.

Good to know - thanks for sharing Mike!

Looks like nice work!

I'm not sure about the 300ZX tranny, I don't think it will bolt to the maxima bellhousing. The Starion tranny was designed for boost/high hp applications. I used to have a Conquest until someone rear-ended it and then got a Sttarion ESIR - both 5 speeds though...Loved 'em!

I don't know of any... You do realize that the auto will accelerate faster than the T5? From what I recall, there is not that much modification involved - just obtaining the parts and putting them together. The only reasl mod is the tranny bracket needs to be engineered - I think the article out there said he used the original bracket and fabricated the mounts. I myself have an '83ZXT w/T5, and if I were no building a '75 V8 Auto project would seriously consider swapping to automatic, because I hate Atlanta traffic and stick. ZI originally bought the car w/only 8 miles to work - later 1.5.

I just did the search using the option for all terms and the drivetrain forum and got 10 hits... A few in the 6 cylinder forum.

Do a search: "T56 l28" and you will know...At least TRY to help yourself...
