AgentZ Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hey there, I live in New Zealand which seems to be the land of Skylines and was wondering which would be the model of choice to pull a diff out of if the chance arises? Its for a 280ZX 2+2 mainly used for street and some (very little!) track time. triple Mikunis and exhaust on it at the moment but am seriously considering going turbo. So the diff would need to be able to handle more power in the future. I do alot of city driving so would a 4.11 be to much? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 If you're going turbo, ubless you go radical w/the engine 4.11 is too high (numerically). Many would say 3.54 or 3.7x is good for turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxgts-4 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi Kelsey, If you are asking about late model skyline with shortnose R200, this is not a simple swap, as you need to make a custom support cradle for the diff to maintain correct suspension geometry. The existing longnose housing supports the centre of the main trailing arm support. You also need to make custom driveshafts. You can use the differential gearcase from 4.083 or 4.363 ratio shortnose in a Z31 12mm ringear housing but you still need to make custom driveshafts. You might consider fitting complete multilink rear. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
