01vincer6 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Please post any information that will update this list or correct any errors so we have it on the first post and not mixed throughout the entire thread. This topic has been discussed alot but almost every topic is missing information. This topic is to clear things up for myself and anyone else who is doing the R230 rearend swap. Basically you have a 3 options to do the R230 Swap. Modern Motorsports kit http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=74&PHPSESSID=10fc0dbb6dc1121a7ab692ee9572f113 Techno Toy Tuning Kit https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/240z/complete-r200-r230-rear-end-conversion-z-car Make your own Kit Things you will need to complete the swap using the Modern Motorsports kit: *R230 230mm or 9.05†in diameter Differential (Years Nissan Armada(04-05 SE 2.937 Gear, LE 3.357 Gear))(1990-1996 Nissan 300ZXTT (3.69 Gear)) *2 pairs of Infiniti Q45 28 Spline Axles(YEARS) or 300ZXTT 28 Spline Axles(1990-1996)(need to verify this) *2 new shortened custom axle shafts (NEED SUPPLIERS WITH PART NUMBERS) (12.437")(SPLINE?)

This will be nice once its done so you dont have to search through different threads and piece information together. I would really like to know different suppliers on the shortened custom axles with part numbers.

mrcheeze36 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 1 slight correction, the Q45 is a short nose R200. R230s are only from the Z32TT or Armada/QX56. Axles are interchangeable between the Q45 and Z32TT. Q45's Q45/Z32TT hub inside spline count is 32 (post #4 and post #41): http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?showtopic=35579 Arizona Z car also has a mustache bar that will work with the Q45 diff swap: http://arizonazcar.com/diffmount.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01vincer6 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks for the corrections. So the Axles on the Q45 and the 300ZXTT are not 28 spline and will not work on the Q45/ZXTT Hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcheeze36 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The Q45/Z32TT are interchangeable between vehicles. They work with either hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01vincer6 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 The Q45/Z32TT are interchangeable between vehicles. They work with either hub. I thought the axles were 28 spline? And that post says the hubs are 32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcheeze36 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Different people claim different spline counts. I have Q45 hubs and 300zxtt axles at home, I'll confirm the count this weekend and will take pics. Here's a thread I found from another 240sx forum (says 30 spline there): http://www.club240.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40461 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Can we clarify this info a little further with regard to TTT's complete rear kit? I think they're unclear what, in addition to their $2.6k kit, is required to complete the conversion. Suppose I could just ask them FYI - seems MM's site is down, like their domain expired.

I don't think Ross is making stuff anymore. last i heard he was very ill. I would give gabriel a call and ask him he is SUPER nice, informative and you will actually get your parts when your suppose to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby260 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hey Guys, I was wondering if there had been any progress on the axle part numbers, I currently have: - A Z32TT R230 VLSD (3.69 ratio) - Techno-Toy-Tuning Forward Diff Mount - Techno-Toy-Tuning Machined Mustache Bar - 4 matching 6-bolt CV joints (from 4x 300zx driveshafts) - Chequred Flag Racing 27-Spline companion flanges. The only thing I'm missing are the axles and the modified C.V. end caps to adjust the plunge. I was getting ready to order these from Ross, when he got sick and stopped accepting orders. Its the last little bit I need to finish! Apparently there is a speedway engineering axle that suits, but I don't have enough information, the C.V. end caps might be a custom machining job. Anyone?

RebekahsZ Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Good morning! Some have had luck with The Driveshaft Shop. They are on line. I know Sunny Z got some custom axles from them. I think all you need to know is your desired length from flange to flange. You send your CVs to them and they will assemble with new boots, etc. try sending him a PM for details. Don't be offended by short answers, Sunny Z is usually not as long winded as I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby260 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 So I sent an email to speedway engineering for parts: 0090-046 (12.437") (driver's side)0090-046 (12.937") (passenger side) From the other thread, I got a response this morning. They still have drawings (they just are no longer a stocked item), price is $217ea machined to order, 3 week lead time. Almost to easy.

Ylo73z Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Doesn't techno toy tuning do everything for 480$? I saw on their site all you have to do is send them your cv's and they will put them on shorter axles ..I was thinking of calling them ..I need to convert my 280 to the r230 and I have the diff , mount and axles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zviking Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is there any news about availability for custom shafts for the R230 Conversion, since Moser shafts no longer can be bought from MM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01vincer6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ Will make whatever you need. Just call them or email and they will explain with a total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhotographer06 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Digging up from the grave.. Considering this swap in the 240z. Located a Diff, definitely will let TTT do the axles.. Mount should be made or also purchased from TTTMustache Bar from TTTThats it? I know they make nice other parts.. but funds will be going to other things for now. S13 swap may be best bet. But its so wide, it makes it look horrible without wide body or something lol Edited November 1, 2015 by MrPhotographer06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) When installing the R230 using the TTT set up, you need to modify the cross member. Not really hard to do, but does require some welding. Edited July 7, 2018 by JoeK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I used the complete TTT setup on the rear of my '71 240, with an R230 from a '91 300ZX TT, and I didn't need to make any modifications to the cross member.

JoeK Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I talked to Gabriel when I discovered it wasn't a direct bolt in affair and he said the original kits had a lower mounting point for the R230 to the mustache bar but they raised it up for a better pinion angle. The R200 setups don't require the modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ^ yup, i had the low one originally and couldn't get the pinion angle, but changed to the newer style and it worked, did have to notch like above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
