[Starting my (re)build!]

Slow going, my diff is in Orlando being built right now though. Need to give Donnie a call and check on it actually! I still need the pieces to keep the axles from moving around as well as the axles. Know that the Armada diff just doesn't bolt up, a front mount for it has to be fabbed and some cutting done - not done this either on mine. Just do not have much time to work on it but I'm slowly moving and planning! If there was a shop around here I trusted I'd even consider having them do some of the work to speed it up <sigh>

 

Do you have any updates?

 

I'm curious to what you have done for retain abs.

 

Your post is the latest one I have found so far..

 

I have a 300zc twinturbo with gtx2867 twinturbos. I picked up a 370z 6speed transmission that I would like to use and the armada rear diff ~2.9 ratio seems it would be my best bet. (or an older m45 r200 3.13ratio and swap in a 350z lsd so I still have the 31spline/32mm output stubs and I will be able to use z32tt shafts so it is fairly robust throughout.

 

Although the armada r230 is just so much larger of a unit internally.. I would feel more comfortable using that so it could handle my drag launches etc better I would think.

 

Do you have any info on the shop that is doing your diff conversion? I may be able to do most here.. As I read of a Timken bearing that alleviated the issues of alignments/shims that one of the other members had using the z32tt lsd in armada housing.

 

I really would like to keep ABS.. And reading about how the armada diff doesn't have provisions.. I am unsure how that would be a possibility.. Unless it's something simple as welding/machining clearance on armada r230 on a fitting to attach the sensor to the diff housing using the z32tt cover.

 

What did you do for parts like crush sleeve etc?

 

Any info is greatly appreciated!

[Q45 R200 VLSD Parts Needed]

Would I lose abs if I use the armada r230 and swap the z32tt lsd.. Output stubs and rear cover?

 

I read on a few pages where the abs mounts need to be pressed off the z32tt rear cover.

 

Could I just machine the outside of the r230 armada for clearance so that the abs sensor can still be used with the z32tt output stubs?

 

This is going on a 300zx twinturbo that I am planning on using a 370z 6 speed transmission with.. So my more desirable rear ratio is the armada ~2.9

[Hybrid R230 Armada/300ZXTT Pictorial]

Was there ever any progress on this?

 

I have a 300zx twinturbo that I plan on using a 370z 6speed.

 

If I use the 3. 69 tt diff. It will be way too close of a gearing setup.

 

The armada 2.94 would be a good swap for it.

 

I was planning on using a 350x 3.36 rear due to the ease of the swap.. Besides welding in supports to bolt into my NA rear subframe.

 

Or an first few m45 has a 3.13 rear but no lsd.. That would require me to buy a 350z diff with lsd and swap that.

 

But this swap seems it would be the same amount of work and a stronger/more desired rear ratio.
