Miles Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 The R180 differential in my 72 240Z needs to be rebuilt. How much should I expect to pay for the rebuild and are there any reliable shops in the Sacramento area? Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Why rebuild when you can get a new used for $50? Were you going to change the ratio, replace the ring and pinion, spider gears, just bearings, what needs to be done? Most of this stuff is damn near impossible to find new. Ring and pinions can be bought from Nissan, but $$$. I had all the bearings changed in my R200 when I first got it about 10 years ago and the shop I went to screwed it up 3 times and the cost was $300 or $350. Since I pulled it and brought it in to them, it was me under the car 3 times pulling that thing out and reinstalling every time...

Miles Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 I could only find one wrecking yard in Sacramento that has a used R180. It is in bad shape and they want $250.00 for it. I just want a stock replacement. I found 3 R200 differentials at a Pick n Pull, but I don't want to do a conversion at this time.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I have an R180 you can have free, but shipping will cost you... I have to take it off my Z and put on an R200... Anything to help a fellow Z'r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
