two40 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Just need some help with a weird noise from the rear end. Over a month ago I broke a uni-joint and replaced it. Last night I gave the car a bit of a workout and when I went to park it I heard a crack (metalic clunk) while accelerating in reverse. Driving home it happened again in first gear this time going up a hill. Got home safely and this morning I had a look but found nothing so I tried to simulate it again and it happened a couple of times in reverse under a heavier than normal load. If it was the uni-joints it wouldn't happen again and again would it? Could it be the diff mount or something else? 290rwhp(or thereabouts) r200 diff and half shafts with 10in rubber Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Could have been another uni joint starting to go. With that much power............. Bout time you looked at CV's, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two40 Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'm giving up on the uni's and will opt for the cv half shafts. After a short search most everyone seems to convert to the 280zx turbo cv half shafts. Is this the best way to go? I know I've pretty much answered my own question but money being no consideration, are the 280zxt cv's the best/easiest conversion for the R200?

j260z Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 the other conversion involves the cvs from the 300zx turbo. check out this thread. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20393&highlight= this is the setup i'm going with.
