Any suggesions on brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 For the LSD you want to look for a 87 and up Turbo 300ZX. and an M-bar from a 280Z to bolt it up. As for the shafts you can run CV's with a kit from Ross C. He also sells brake kits. http://www.modern-motorsports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBskinheadZ Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Can I use the shafts from the 87t or should i look for others there? I want to get it on the road and would like to use whatever is available $$$. Will my 180 shafts work? My understanding is the R200 shafts are shorter on one side.

brokebolt Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 An R-200 has many internal options. Ratio for staters; and the LSD issue you have options here too, LSD, VLSD or HLSD. The drive shafts will almost all be able to be adapted to the Z car without issues with the right custom parts. As for the carrier and ring gear be aware of the 10mm or 12mm bolt size. If you mix them up you 'can' solve this rather easily. Both the ring and pinion are stamped so get the matched set. Check out MM as stated for ideas on brakes but there is a post on the brake forum that lays out my Port list. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19020&highlight= If you don't have luck at the yards or swap meet, I have a few items that may interest you under buy, sell, trade on this site. Mike Can't blame me for trying to move some parts can ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokebolt Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Go here: http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19471&highlight=vlsd Note the spline area on the shaft. Only the VLSD uses this shaft. If you get a LSD (clutch pack version) you will be able to install it with out issue period! If you use a 4.11 R-200 form the 200SXT you will only need to switch the stock differential inner stubs only for this to work. The drive mechanizm is broken into Five basic parts. First the Differential Inner Stub, second the CV or U-joint Half-Shaft, thirdly the Companion Flange, fourth the Stub Axle, and the most important the Third Member or differential. As for using the CV's you will need to adapt it to the companion flange so see MM for this or your local machinist. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
