Datz350 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Found out that it needs replacement. Anyone know, more or less, what it would cost to repair? Anyone experience this problem before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I had one fail on an long nose R200 LSD. It turned out that all the bearings were bad. Hopefully this is not the case for you. You have to remove the carriage and pinion, hammer out the front bearing and press in a new one. I'd imagine that a shop would charge you a hundred bucks or so if you took them the differential, bearing and seal. The R200 front pinion bearing was ~$65 from Nissan.

Datz350 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I was thinking it would be in the hundreds.. I paid 275 for the diff... I'm thinking I got ripped off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think you paid too much, assuming there it's not an LSD or something special. I've seen original long nose R180's pretty much given away on this site.

Datz350 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think the 4.11 gears blinded me. I was too excited to feel the difference from the stock gears to actually question the condition of the diff. Thanks for the help, tho.
