zxgts-4 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 If your talking about a later short nose R200v it wont bolt straight in and because the diff normally forms part of the structural support for the rear suspension, I dont believe it would be worth modifying to fit it. Swapping an R200V centre into an earlier R200 housing is relatively straight forward. As for halfshafts I have been working on it but all the options so far end up with both ends floating instead of one being fixed. I am going to a Hardy Spicer agent next week to see what other Birfield type CV joints are available to see if there is another way around this problem. will keep you all posted. Threw an S13 rear susp assy under 280ZX for comparison, it needs narrowing slightly the biggest obvious problem is the struts lean forward not backwards which means modifying stut tower. Cheers Neil.
