Guest Rangerz Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I am trying to install an R200 into my 70 240z, and am having a problem attaching the mustache bar I picked up from a jy. The mounting holes are not the same spacing as the studs on the rear cover. I even tried the rear cover on my R180 and its the same. Do I have the wrong mustache bar? I thought that the 280z bars were all the same. The diff is out of a 81 zx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 The R180 and R200 bars are different (look similar, but oh so different). They are not interchangeable. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 r180 and r200 mustache bars are different, almost inverted so to speak. you'll need to get a 75-78 r200 mustache bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Not all 280z's had R200's. I have a '78 w/auto trans and it has a R180. Do a search. I think someone posted pics of both R180 and R200 bars... Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 once you get the right m-bar keep in mind that the M-bar will now sit behind the two bars that hang down behind the diff, not infront like it did with your R180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THUNDERZ Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have a 74 260, and I put an 82 R200 in the rear. I flipped the mustache bar around and squeezed it into place. I havent had a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
