egzlilgituarboy9 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Alright so i bought a OBX LSD and i brought it to my guy that does rearends and he was going to install it but noticed that the ring gear does not fit snug on the OBX unit it this going to be a problem or will it be ok once the bolts are tightened. Also just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem withe the OBX LSD car is a 1976 280z R200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Is he aware of the bushings needed to compensate for the bolt diameters, or does he refer to the fit of the ring onto the housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egzlilgituarboy9 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) He knows about the spacers but main concern is the ring gear fitment. Edited September 16, 2011 by egzlilgituarboy9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Having had no experience with the OBX, I will say that the regular Nissan carriers, both the open and the LSD carriers, are really loose compared to what you find on every other vehicle that I've seen worked on or worked on personally. You have to BEAT the ring gear of a Toyota or a Ford 9" onto or off of the carrier. The R200 ring gear just falls off the carrier after you take the bolts out. If the OBX is the same I wouldn't think it is too big an issue. One thing that could be checked is ring gear runout to make sure that it's not on crooked.
