ckrell Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Can anyone tell me what the differances is I height from a 180 to A 200 at the white lines in the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Do you have one of them? I could measure an R200 and let you do the math. Or someone with an R180 might do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrell Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 My 180 is 2 5/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I got 3 1/4" from the top to the center of the mounting studs on an R200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrell Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Do you think the from mounting stud to stub axel centers are the same? I should be asking what the stub axel center to diff housing top is. My 180 is 3 7/8" (red lines) Edited February 2, 2012 by ckrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Saw your other post. For what you're asking I would get the measurement from the top, or bottom, of the mustache bars' end mounting points, an R200 and an R180, down to the axle centers, or to the tops of the diffs, since you'll need the mustache bar when you install the R200. It's the assembly of the two that matters. Or get the distance from the tops of the diffs to some common point on the cars they're installed in, same idea. You might find some pictures to eyeball on the internet also, of installed R180s and R200s. You're not slamming a Z are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrell Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 The car is being lowered 3". The Front LCA pivot is moved up 2" and rear out control arm pivot is lowered 1 3/4" (thats all I could go 14" wheels) help roll centers, The car will be flat bottomed the lowest part will be the rocker seams theres some pics at members projects under S30 4G63/240z I will have more later. Im trying to get the driveshaft angles beter buy rasing the diff and just want room to install R200 if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Looks like a project. I got 1 1/8" from the top of the diff to the line created across the two mounting pads on the body for the ends of the mustache bar for an R200. I mounted a spare bar on a spare diff and set a level across the tops of the two metal tubes in the centers of the bushings and measured down to the top of the diff from the center of the level. Hope that makes sense and works for figuring out what you need. You should be able to get the comparable measurement on your R180, in the car.

ckrell Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'll be making a spacer (orange) to move the diff up the Mbar stays in its original place. The number I need is the diff top to diff axel output center (red) r180 is 3 7/8" thanks for your input, sorry for any confution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Sorry, I already put everything back in their resting spots in the garage (it's a little crowded). I'll take a measurement if I get a diff out again. Someone will probably have it before then though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I took that measurement last night and it was 4 3/4" from the top of the back of the diff to the center of the axle hole, stub axles out. I laid a straight piece of wood across the back edge and measured from its bottom edge to the center of the hole. I see in your other thread that RebekahZ had a number for you also. Hope that's enough to get it done. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
