Grpkewlaid Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Putting in my order for this set-up has rejuvenated interest in my Z. This Super 8.8 swap is something I can actually afford. Better struts, serviceable diff, stronger axles, hubs, and companions, 5 lug swap, bigger brakes, all pretty much bolt on parts with minor fabrication. Thrifty shopping and planning will make this whole swap significantly less than a set of aftermarket R200 axles. Plus I can buy the replacement parts from local parts houses. I'm stoked! Thank you for following through with your word and actually bringing something to market. Who needs an obx fitted 3.36 R200? I'll have one available soon. 😜🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what they get for them and what stock gear ratio are available out there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Entire rear subframe can be had for anything from 500 to 1200 plus freight. Just the bare diff itself ranges from $100 to $900 and is available in 3.15, 3.31 all the way up to 4.09 factory. Aftermarket 4.56 gears are also available. The most common ones are 3.15 from a v6 rental and 3.31 off an ecoboost. Ebay is full of them, ALL have lsd but some even come with torsen.

Just curious what they get for them and what stock gear ratio are available out there.. Yes, I got a 3.31 iron housing (manual trans car) from LKQ. Prices at LKQ for the diffs alone are pretty cheap, they go from $220-$600. Mine has 67k miles on it and was advertised at $260. They charge more for those labeled "clutch type lsd", but as said above, that's what they all are aside from the torsen ones.

Invincibleextremes Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 This one going out in the morning, itll still need to be tied into the notched crossmember, and fully welded up. Jig for the cradle is built so it's going very smoothly so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invincibleextremes Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 V 2.0 of the uprights. Same design, even more camber adjustment and shed a little weight while still keeping most of its strength. And let's face it, "most" of it's strength is still head and shoulders over what else is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invincibleextremes Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Test fitting kits on my spare 3.31 lsd diff. That crossmember is optional and is for people not wanting to notch their own factory front LCA mounts like we did on David's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Obviously I can't stop to take pictures of everything going out the door, but here's a couple more uprights set up for 2015 brakes and hubs tacked up for someone. Oh and shout out to summers brothers racing. They make a kickass set of axles for this conversion. Roughly a dozen pairs so far and the fitment is amazing.

fusion Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 How much are the axles and what power level will they hold? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 1 minute ago, fusion said: How much are the axles and what power level will they hold? Thanks Shafts themselves are rated to 800tq, 8 ball v8 mustang cv ratings are unknown but whole assembly has been kicking butt on an 800hp car with zero issues since install. As per forum rules prices cannot be discussed in the technical threads, so PM me and I'll gladly let you know everything. To put it in perspective though... complete pair including low mileage v8 cv usually ends up costing less than the discontinued oem Nissan turbo z32 axle PER SHAFT... IF you can get them. We're talking about 34 spline inner stubs, 8 ball cv, heat treated custom shafts and 32 spline outer using a bolt on hub with a SUBSTANTIAL bearing size to boot.

Invincibleextremes Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Heck ya, axles looking good. Btw, 2018 mustang stick v8 cars are using gt350 axles. Gt350 axles are basically the same right axle, but the left has been increased in diameter and cv size. They will not work for this conversion. So you need v8 axles 2015 to 2017 and 2018 must be v8 automatic axles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
