garretthes Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm doing the opposite of what most people do. I have a whining r200 and a spare r180 so the 180 is going in the car. It's a 79. I'm having a hard time with the bolt that the diff mounts to. The diff needs to slide about an inch forward. The mounting bolt looks like it could slide forward but I have no idea how. The photo shows the mounting bolt from the car with the r180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Looks like the assembly with the threaded stud comes out the top, is rotated and then dropped back in. Is there access to the top of it from inside the car? Or do those two bolts on what looks like an access plate come out and give you room to push it up and rotate it?

zeeboost Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I made this writeup for r180 to r200 swap a few years ago. It should still apply to your situation: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/57879-s130-r180-to-r200-swap-guide/page__p__528579__hl__%2Br200+%2Br180__fromsearch__1#entry528579 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot about this. I was wondering what this was. See photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
