hAhhhh...."Version 8" vs "V8"....my bad on the Subaru nomenclature.
Yes, the OBX unit has been discussed a bunch here. In talking to the guys I know that have purchased one recently, it appears that their workmanship and overall quality has improved quite a bit from the earlier units. I don't know anyone that has been unhappy with theirs, especially considering the $400 purchase price.
Here's another lengthy thread regarding OBX inspection and installation....some duplicative info with the other thread referenced, but it never hurts to have too much info. Check out the "Drivetrain FAQs" for even more useful info.

Thanks i'll check this out

Well i'll save money cause I don't think the obx is worth it and I don't want to pay 400$ to tear it apart and take a chance.

You sure you used the search feature?

I do more more burn out than launch. I already switch for 280z stub axle for more security. I never put the z on track or drag, but kindly hard on it on the street more often. I just want to decipate the power equally cause it dont lock the 2 wheels anytime and I'm affraid of spider gear failure. Since is it a street car for cruisin too, I don't want to weld it.

300 ft. lbs. is about the limit for an R180 driven hard. That requires a good 4 pinion LSD and frequent fluid changes. Hard dragstrip style launches are risky at over 250 ft. lbs. of torque.
Thanks for the advice, so I'll keep my r200 since it already handle my power. What about the obx? What you think?

I read about the obx but its seems that is the cheapest lsd unit on the market so the quality goes on right? I have seen people say that these unit get wrongly assembled more often, so I'm not sure about this one, unless someone has a good tips or link that explain how to check it and fix it.

Too much torque.
If the subie had a v8, it's torque was split between 2 diffs so it would be fine in that application. The torque in your car is all for one diff. Stay with the r200.
How much torque the sti diff its supposed to handle? Don't find to much info on this.

V8 is for version 8 subaru , its supposed to be a 2004 . I heard that the k stamp subaru lsd are the stronger 4 pinion available but im not sure.A V8 subaru STI?? If that's really what this diff came from, then wouldn't it be fine for your V8 240? Even if it were, you'd still have to spend a fair bit more on that diff plus the stub axles than if you bought an OBX LSD for your existing R200....true?
Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend buying that diff until you've had a chance to pop the cover and verify the LSD and overall condition.

Hi guys I have 72 240z with jtr conversion 350 chevy mild cam, around 375 lbs torque with t5 borgwarner. My z is a street car and don't want to weld my diff. Currently my diff is a open r200 3.54 . I want to go lsd and I've already use the search button plenty of times and I just want to be sure what I'm doing and buying. First of all, do you guys think it is worth to swap a subaru r180 and buying stub from wolfcreek to get it fit instead of my r200? Will it handle the torque from my v8? I came accross what i think is a pretty good deal so it is tempting, its suppose to be a r180 lsd 3.9 out of a v8 subaru sti 2004 for 280$ from what the guy told me. Here's the differential

You may need a 7/8" master. Also make sure everything is bled right, this can sometimes be a pain. Check this post, it may help:

Hi everybody, I'm new to the site and also new owner of a first generation 240Z 1972 hl s30
I want to do a swap RB25DET
I found a site called''www.mckinneymotorsports.com'' they sell motormounts to put an RB25 in my 240
I would like to know if someone has already put a RB in his Z ?
Who can answer my questions?
Is that motormounts are bolt on on the cross member (I hope!) or do I have to weld them back on the body rails ?
It could be very helpful, thank u
