Camaro ss lsd diff in 240z

[Rivvs1]

Hi, I was woundering if anybody ever fitted a 2015 camaro ss diff in an s30. I'm asking because I found one almost brand new on marketplace at a great price. I know it will need custom mount but I fear that the front mount would interfere with the front a-arm mount.

You're probably the first.  I'd look at the short nose R200 and R230 mounting systems for ideas.  It's hard to find a way to support the short nose diffs.

 

Here are some threads.  You can't get a reply if you post in them, becuase they are in the FAQ section, so make sure to post in this thread if you have questions.

I considered installing a late model Camaro Differential assembly into my 240Z.   Mounting the Camaro would not be the biggest problem  to overcome.   Creating the Rear axle Bearing Housing connecting the Lower Rear Control Arm and the Strut Cartridge would be the Biggest Problem.   It will needed to made of 3/8" Flat Mild Steel or Greater.   A Machinist Lathe also be necessary to create the Bearing Housing.   The Dimensions would have figured out by mostly trial and error.   One, that Housing was made then you have get  New CV Axles for both sides custom made.  The Differential Mount would have to fit below the rear Frame Crossmember.   The Differential Front Mount must allow for Driveshaft Angle.  There are many factors that must considered before trying to installing any nonstock differential especially with Independent Rear Suspension Vehicle.  My advice would be studied different Rear Differentials conversions on the market already and learn from them.
