Guest 350zgto Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 In a wrecking yard while pulling rear calipers for a rear disc install I noticed a cast aluminum finned diff cover on the 240 SX. The rear end looks like an R-200. Does anyone know is this a worthwhile part to get and does it fit the R-200? I checked to see if it was LSD by rolling the tire method, it seemed like an open diff, there was no resistance rolling one tire without the other. Thanks.

240Z Turbo Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 It is an R200, but it is much shorter than the early Z R200's. Can you use this cover on your R200? The answer is.........perhaps. The only difference on this cover is the bolt holes are larger than that of our covers so you would need to use some bushings to center the bolts onto the holes. I know this because I have one of these diffs from a 90+ 300zx N/A and I compared it to our R200 cover and it is the same except for the hole size. BTW, it should be a VLSD.

blueovalz Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 All the 240SX diffs had a "finned cover", but very very few had the VLSD. If it has the HICAS (rear steering) option, it should have the VLSD on it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayz Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Sorry guys to bring back a very old thread. Is there something to do with those vsld from the 240sx. I have just brought on home, Is it worth anyhing? Maybe I could just put it up in a Z R200 long nose. Thanks Dayz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 the difference is that the bolt hole spacing is wider where it mounts to the mustache bar, the 240sx finned diff cover is I believe 4.5" where as the stock r200 covers for our Zs is like 3.25" and to redrill the mustache bar... good luck with drilling hardened spring steel.

Dayz Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I will rephrase...sorry. Is the anything to do with the whole diff VSLD from a 240sx? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Simple answer is yes, you can put 240sx R200 short nose carriers into a R200 long nose case. Was that your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
