Connor_Pierce Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'm not sure if this is a no brainer...But I thought I would check before I pulled the trigger. I have a 280zx with a R200 diff,and i was wondering if I can straight swap the 280zxt cv shafts into it. Is that possible? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The shaft axles will swap in to the R200, but the flange on the other end might not bolt up. Depends on your hub axle companion flange bolt pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor_Pierce Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for the insight! What is the flange bolt pattern based off of? Also would it work to swap it to the correct companion flange bolt pattern then? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Here are some links to look at, showing the different bolt patterns and how the parts ift together, with labels. Seems like you should be able to swap companion flanges on a ZX to run CV's instead of u-joint shafts. I've never seen it described but it seems simple. People install 280ZX companion flanges (turbo or 2+2) in to 240Z hubs to run 280ZX CV shafts. Same concept. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/280z/1982/1982%20280zx%20FSM/ra.pdf http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/49194-differential-cv-lsd-hp-torque-r160-r180-r200-r230-diff-mount/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
