PUSHER Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I'm really sorry I have to make this post, but I gotta go to class, and i'm trying to get an lsd unit by this weekend. I just tried differential.com and they are out of 10mm r200 lsd units. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other websites selling simular clutch type lsd's. Thank you very much.

JMortensen Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 You could get a 12mm unit from differentials.com and some 12mm OD 10mm ID tubing from a metal supply place (there are a bunch online)and make ring gear spacers. Just cut, chamfer, and drop them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 I understood 50% of what you said. Could you explain it again. Also, what would I need to get the 12mm version to work with my differential? Could I just get the 12mm ring gear and bolt it onto the 12mm lsd and throw that in my r200 that initial used a gear with 10mm bolts?

Doug71zt Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yes - that's possible- just ensure that the two ring gears are the same ratio. You will have to check the gear pattern and backlash after installation. Or- you could just find a 12mm R200 unit from a 300zx. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 What Doug said will work but I would expect that you'd be really lucky if those gears weren't noisy. The ring and pinion do wear into one another. Here is another attempt at an explanation of ring gear bolt spacers: The bolt size is the only real difference between the old R200 and the newer R200 (not dealing with the short nose, just the long nose here). So you can use the 12mm ring gear with 10mm bolts. The bolts should be snug in the ring gear, and obviously there is going to me a 1mm gap all the way around the bolt. So you get a 1mm wall thickness tube that is 12mm Outside Diameter and 10mm Inside Diameter. Cut the tube into 10 pieces that are as thick as the carrier, deburr them and drop them in. Now you can use your 10mm bolts, and they are snug in the carrier. Here is another thread dealing with this issue:http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=32641&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Good luck finding tubing in a small enough length for just ONE set of sleeves Trust me I tried! If you want I can go to the place I got my tubing from here and get some for you, but you will have some leftover. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Did you make any $$$ selling the extra Mat? I hope you did. I know I bought a set of spacers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 A few bucks, nothing much. I was just being nice to the rest of you is all. Heck, I wanted to make a "Ron Tyler" style front differential mount, so I went to buy the metal and got way more than I can use, because that's the only piece the company had. SO, I made seven differential mounts out of the extra. They were all sold before I even finished cutting them out. I just like helping everyone out is all. !M!

Pop N Wood Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 sounds like you need to find a scrap metal yard. They sell leftovers by the pound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
