johnc Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 For those few that have the above diff, one very specific bearing (NTN 323/28C) is NLA in North America and Europe. Its taken me and Carl at Unitrax 3 weeks to locate a few of the remaining 323/28Cs at NTN Japan. I have yet to find out how much they are going to cost. Alex and Dave, that diff I bought from you guys was a NISMO Japan R190 with a two pinion (street) LSD. Its not the same as the Nissan Motorsports USA R190. That's why it looked funny to me and its been hell getting the thing rebuilt. Had to make two special tools and there are no casting numbers on the case, no part numbers on the R&P or the LSD itself. What car did you say you found it in? Who owned it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi John, Sounds like you have what is usually known as an "R192" in Japan. This was standard equipment on the PS30 Fairlady Z432 and PS30-SB Z432-R, as well as the PGC10 & KPGC10 Skyline GT-Rs. I have a full list of part numbers for the components on these diffs. Shoot me a PM if you need to know anything. Best regards, Alan Thomas. London, UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 That's exactly it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 John, the diff came from an autocross car that was built over 10 years ago by one of two previous owners prior to the guy we bought it from. The car's suspension was wrenched on by Andy Craig who presumably did most of the suspension. Who knows, he may actually remember the brown car? If you want your money back or anything, no biggie to me. I figure I can always sell it on ZCAR.com or locally. Even ebay Shoot me an email if that's what you want.

johnc Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 No at all! The diff itself is fine and the whole unit (being an R190) is ultimately worth more then what you guys charged me! But I ain't sending you any more money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc's240z Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 john, Les of Classic Datsun purchased all or most of the remaining R-190 parts from Nissan Motorsports when they blew them out a few months back, he would probably have the bearing(s) you need for your R-190. Les's phone # 760-940-6365. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 so what you're saying is, you ripped us off!!! Let's just wait and see how much a rare bearing costs after its shipped over from Japan. This might end up being the world's most expensive Nissan diff. I guess I'll call Les tomorrow.
