Rear end choice for 450HP/470ft+ engine?

[Guest Hubbo]

I'm looking at building up another 280zx and dropping in a RB30DET engine (minimum 450HP/470ft).

Reading over the posts there seems to be a little variation in which rear solution is best, and I want to get it right first time.

The direction I'm heading is a R200 Quaife setup, and some people mentioning a CV conversion.

I haven't bought the car yet, but I hope to get a 2 seater, even if I have to import (no production of 2 seaters here in Australia as far as I know).

My problems are: do any 280ZXs (T?) come standard with CVs? and are there likely to be any problems with CVs or stub axles breaking with this power (maybe even more )?

280ZXT's had CV's...

Thanks.

Can the 280ZXT rear end setup handle this kind of performance, or

should I be looking at another solution?

you just use 280ZXT stub axle and CV joint in your OE rear end.

 

if you want to get trick

you could swap

 

A31/C33/S12T/S13/S14/Y32 diff case (pay attention if its open or VLSD)

 

A31/C33/S12T/S13/S14/Y32 clutch type diff

 

A31/C33/S12T/S13/S14/Y32 output flange (if open flange on VLSD case, shave the right hand flange to the left hand flange length)

 

Get a CA18DET S13/Skyline R&P gear for 4.375

Get a S12T R&P gear for 4.11

Keep the stock S13/14 R&P for a 4.08

Get a Z31 Turbo R&P gear for 3.70

 

enjoy
