~KnuckleDuster~ Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've been searching the web for hours and hit a road block. I recently bought an R200 diff out of a 82 280zx n/a 2+2. It's come time for me to source the stub axles so I can bolt up the 280z half shafts. I did a spline count and came up with 29. From what I've read the 240's have 25 and the 260/280's have 27. Everything I've seen related to a 29 spline count is LSD related. What's going on here? All the write ups I've read say the 280z stub axles will swap right over. Am I missing something here?

jhm Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I thought all the Z/ZX R200s were 29-spline, regardless of whether the diff was LSD or open. You can source used stub axles and half-shafts from another 280 which originally came with an R200; or you can convert to CV shafts; or you can buy new OEM R200 stub axles from Wolf Creek Racing for $200 (which is a pretty nice price IMHO). Hope this helps. http://www.wolfcreekracing.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=31 Edited May 7, 2015 by jhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You're getting your hub axles confused with your diff axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
