looking to buy an obx center or entire r200 shipped to 95430 or picked up in norther to middle california. thanks for looking

6k (firm) for mine. Located up in the sf bay area.

Go to this website and buy as many as you need. Running 2 in back right now with no extra work. http://www.performancewheeladapters.com/servlet/the-11/4x4.5-to-4x4.5-Wheel/Detail I did not try them on the front but I will pull em tommorow night and see if they fly.

Ummm just to throw a curve ball to everyone here. My 75 280 has been barred for the 1968 camaro motor thats been lodged in it. So i'm not to sure about the newer engine thingy. And yes it has the bar tag on the door jam with the engine vin and all that fun stuff.

Not too strange. If you flatten out the washers you have a large amount of play with the output axle gears (side to side). So thats how the case got chewed up. I am inclined to agree about the pinion bearing failure (I am rather abusive to it), but if the center of the diff is slamming back and forth as mine was it may help bearing failure along pretty substantially. I'm also pretty sure the flange being used as a grinding wheel was not helping. Ive had this unit in play for about 2 seasons now and this is the first hicup it gave me (and damn I beat this thing). I would buy it again in an instant In short check your washer play. I was using the stock washers. view of case grinding view of still intact obx [update] ok so I reasembled the obx with 1.25 turns after washer contact. installed new crown and installed diff into new case. Runnout and lash were equal to original open unit. I go to slap in the ouput shafts and the driver side is a hair from the case. If i apply some pressure to it I can make it rub the case slightly. Open to ideas. Ive got a feeling im going to feel stupid at the end of this.

I can't argue with that analogy. The entire reason for this was to be within DB spec for the place I run at. When i'm not at the track the crap is removed. (2 min ordeal)

Adding my .02 I just suffered a pinion bearing failure due to the washer orentation. My washers decided to flatten themselves out during my last AutoX and allowed the driverside output flange to start chewing out the case and put enough pressure on the ring & pinion to destroy the pinion bearings. Loud howling at 25+ mph. I could easily push the output flanges back and forth in the case. I replaced the washers and reorented them )())(()( for maximum resistance. I like the idea of a spring.

It may sound restrictive but depending on how much you cram in there you can make it a pretty good balance. I still have that nice Chevy rumble but it took out the WOT scream. I ran my monthly autoX with it installed last last week and there were no flames (heavy guage stainless dosent burn like the normal stuff)and it's all still there. The only negative was I couldent hear the exhaust note over my screming diff at the end of the day.

Are the pininon bearings good?

Need a good working r200 diff for my z. 3.90 would be great, I will happily pick up.

mmmk I was exactly at the Bd level required. But that dident stop me from digging around and finding a supe cheap and easy answer to hwo to cut down the drone. Your gonna laugh. Stainless steele wool, jammed in the pipe with a mesh screen to keep it from shooting out. I found that depending on the ammount you stick in you can have it as quiet as a pos prius.

I'm loking for ideas on how to silence the pair of glasspacks i have (mainly at Wot). The autox club ive been going to is now enforcing a Db lvl of 96 Db at 50ft.

Had to pull my clutch today due to one of the springs in the actual clutch popping out and lodging itself between the throwout bearing and the pressur plate. So I thought i would share a pic.

thanks I find the clash calms me down for the drive (reminds me of hooning cars back in highschool). On a side note that video is banned in germany thanks to sony LOL. Again i have 28" packs if i were to do it again i would at least go 30" to 32" if i were to drive the car often. As it sits i take it out once or twice a month and scare the children and small animals.

LOL the 117 post is a guy i know from ESCA (empire sports car assosiation) he lays down some damn fine times with that car. I don't know the rims off the top of my head but when I see it in april i'll make a mental note. You can see more pics on thier website http://empiresportscar.org/

heres the last race from 2010 you can get a damn good idea of the sound from it. fresh 350 of a 68 vintage. world industry heads that had some love given to em. edelbrock intake holly 650 carb, hei, some other stuff im forgetting, (weak point) saginaw 4 speed, stock r200 with egay lsd. Coil overs. Stock brakes.

i could rip out a sound clip for yea. I love the glass pack side pipes, but they are friggin loud.

i really need to go take some good pics.

Picked up a g noses zgz s30 in the used. Painted it same as mine and tried to get it close to the same hp. Set the suspension to duplicate what I have for autox. It drives absolutly nothing like my car.

ok all is installed and initially adjusted (ride height). First impresion with these wheight springs OMFGBBQ this car has never stuck this well before. The under steer is mostly gone (might have been the wasted lca bushing i replaced too) and im happy as a pig in **** still need to play with the adjustment more and look into getting her corner balanced but right now im pleased.

ive got an lsd im running 245/50 16s 300treadwear tires all around. I'm gonna stick kyb's in there till i can get my koni reds rebuilt this winter. im not sure im going to section the rears yet. at the current height i have 2.5 inches of shock travel and with the tires i have i cant go much lower. I have an event coming up on the 16th ill let you know what i think. The current set up had a touch of understeer (what v8 z dosen't) I tend to like a very stiff suspension

thats the set up im going to be going with. My current set up is cut coils and blown struts. After some deeper hunting i found that the struts i want are the 87-89 mr2 rear struts to section the front. Everything is on order and coming soom.

Ive been searching all day trying to find the info i need and have come up with the answer for a 240 but nothing for a 280z. Q1. If i don't section my struts what will the adjustable height be ok for auto x? Q2 if i do secetion my struts which insert should i use? Mr2 rears? or 300zx? Now for auto x purposes what would you heavy seat time guys do? section or not section the struts? tires are 245/50/16 all around spring rates are 325f and 400r (with seam welding and bracing installed) front camber at 2.5- rear at 1.5- 1/8th toe out front 0 in rear current set up is pretty nutral with a touch of under steer. (riding the bump stop up front 1 inch of compression)

I'm with jt1 if this engine has been that much of a pail. Put it together run a 500 shot of Nitros to it and see what kind of a 1/4 mile time you can put down before it blows. Then go buy a crate motor and call it good
