Calico Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Okay I posted not to long ago about a car ive found in the upull it, its a s13 240sx with a KA24DE. I wanted to know if i can use the rear differential from it in my s130 chassis. I'm not very familiar with the new cars aside from that they have alot of suspension options.

NewZed Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think that the 240SX's came with short-nose differentials. There are adapters available but they're expensive. Take a look under the car, they are obviously shorter than the long-nose. If it's a viscous LSD unit it should have a sticker on it also. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/49194-differential-cv-lsd-hp-torque-r160-r180-r200-r230-diff-mount/ http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=74&PHPSESSID=913b505897594e5aaabe6608cdf597e9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well i opened the link and it is for the s30(240,60,80)cars but it did not mention anything about the 280zx? Do you know if this kit is interchangeable? your correct though it is out of my grass roots style price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The S130s came with R180's or long-nose R200's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You can not simply drop the diff in. The rear mount is different and the length. I was toying around with the idea of making some type of cradle to hold it and simply get a longer driveshaft and axles, but it would have been too much fabrication and I needed the car running.

Calico Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 NewZed yeah thanks thats what i thought! Bludestiny Yeah I know thats what I was thinking about too since one of the guys in my crew is a decent fabricator. The Z31 parts would make life alot simpler but the late model turbo Zs are getting rarer and rarer to find in the yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
