RB26powered74zcar Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Well I just received my Hybrid CV's from James 240twinturbo. They turned out very nice as expected. I had a scare with the post office loosing them for a couple weeks, but everything worked out and I'm now ready to swap out my R200 3:43 LSD to the 3:7 VLSD. This set-up makes it a bolt on using the 81-83 turbo companion flanges, or in my case since I already have the CV adaptors welded onto my 280 stub axels, so I don't have to do anything but swap the diff and the matching CV's..... thanks james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 No doubt about it, that looks like a nice setup! What's a 3.43 R200 LSD out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah, I hate to detract from the subject of this thread, but I'm very curious about the 3.43 LSD too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh.... that would be a rare ratio wouldn't it ?? The 3:54 LSD I have is a 10mm R200 that I inherited with my 260. I will hold onto it so I can play back and forth with the ratio as needed....

j260z Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 looks like a key shift typo 3:43 is just one key from 3:54. what makes the cv's a hybrid? are they shortened? and did you get the cv adapters from Ross C.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Take a look at this thread. James explains what parts are used... Posted: 28 Mar 2003 10:24 Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the specific information to do the VLSD swap ***Input shaft(diff)- must use from VLSD ***Cage(diff side)- #175 cage(from VLSD) ***Race(diff side)- #174 race (from 80-87 AMC Eagle 4WD 4cyl) ***Shaft- OEM Replacement Axle # 87-7699-0 (from 80-87 AMC Eagle 4WD 4cyl) (from 80-83 AMC Eagle 4WD 6cyl) ***Complete Tripod(wheel side)- # 87-7801-0 (from 80-87 AMC Eagle 4WD 4cyl) ***Tripod Housing(wheel side)- 280zxt So, using the AMC shaft the #174 race is placed on the shaft for the diff side and is compatible with the #175 cage. The complete tripod from the 80-87 AMC Eagle 4WD 4cyl fits onto the shaft and is also compatible with the 280zxt tripod housing. Whala....you have the shaft that works. The shaft is 13" long. As I said before you will want to use the 240z stub axle with the 280zxt companion flange and the passenger side will require a .5" spacer. Good Luck.

j260z Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 The only problem i can see with this setup is now you have a bulletproof diff and shafts but you still have the smaller 240z stub axles. i guess it really depends on how much power you are running through them as to whether it will become a concern. it really wouldn't be a problem to replace the stubs with 280z ones and get adapters made for the companion flanges if anything did happen. it is an awesome setup and took quite a bit of thinking to accomplish and that is why i like this site so much!!!
