Guest Anonymous Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I believe with a 8" balancer you'll be into your steering rack, you'll probably want to use the 6 3/4" to provide more clearance at least per JTR's suggestion. For the right cash, Z-dreamer might be interested in selling a 3.36 R200, its probably your best bet unless you want to swap another rear in there thats non-Datsun.

BAlford Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I bought a 3.36 from ZPARTS at: eric@zparts.com I gave $350.00. I think this rear end is found in some Datsun Maximas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I can`t believe how much people will pay for an r200 The most I would feel comfortable asking for one would be maybe 75.00 Any more than that seems like too much. I suppose a hard to find ratio might be worth more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sean280z Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hey everyone i am somewhat new here. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on what to do about getting a higher gear ratio for my R200. I believe the most common ratio is 3.54 or something like that but i am going to use a th-350 in my V8 conversion so I will be running very high Rpm's down the highway. To help lower the Rpm's on the highway without going to an overdrive transmission i am trying to find out how much and where i can find some higher gears. The reason i am trying to stay away from the 700-R4 transmission is because its much more expensive and its not as if i am going to use this as a daily driver. If anyone knows anything that can help me, please let me know. I also have a question about a stock Chevy Harmonic Balancer. Will the stock balancer work in a 240z. I dont know if there are any clearance issues or anything like that that i will need to be aware of. If anyone has any information on this can you let me know please. Thanks for any help you have to offer. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 There is a 3.36 r200 that is out there if you shop long enough. Also, I believe it is Ross C (modern motorsports) had a 3.15 gear set for sale. Really unusual, but they are out there! You should have no troubles with the 6 3/4" balancer for sure, and I don't think there is an issue with the 8" balancer, hopefully someone else will confirm.

Guest paklids Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hey Sean280Z..... As an alternative to the T700-R4, you could try a Turbo 200-R4. While slighly lighter duty than the Turbo 350 (which I'll assume you have....) it is a 4 speed with a lockup torque converter. Several people have had good results, but always in the sub 300 HP range. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psykovertible Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 i just called my tranny guy and asked about an auto trans cause I may have to give up on the 5 speed due to money. he said he could make me a 700R4 or a 2004R, either one, for about 1200 bucks with torque converter that will hold up top my 400-500 HP range. The 5 speed was adding up to about 2500 really quick. a properly built 2004R will take quite a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which rear ends are the best for a mild V8 and how can I identify the gear ratio etc.? I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks Your 280Z should have the R200 in it which is plenty strong for a 'mild' V8. I hate to say search, but search! The pics you'll find here: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/...ap/diffswap.htm All I did was use the search function---it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
