Guest Anonymous Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 I have a 260Z V8 with the stock rear end in it. It is leaking out gear oil as I leave it parked over night. It is dripping out of the rear of the casing. Is there supposed to be a gasket in there? and if not, should I add some gear oil, or replace the diff? If I need to replace it, I would like to know what's involved in switching to the R200 and if anyone out there has one for sale. Thanks a lot ------------------ pics of my babies at www.rotarypowered.com/cym and at www.dodgeviper.net/260z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 You're probably getting it hot and the case or rear cover moves (deforms) a bit, then cools down and stops afterwards. I've seen that on the R200 as well. There is a gasket between the two also. There are a few sites that go over the R200 install. Search on Zdriver, zhome.com. You need a mustache bar and the R200, and probably a new front mount anyway. Get the polyurethane mustache bar bushings also. ------------------ Pete Paraska - 73 540Z - Marathon Z Project - pparaska@home.com">pparaska@home.com - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 That's the exact problem I'm having on my 240Z/R180 diff... I'm also interested in doing the R200 swap but haven't found any sites with all the information I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Here's a pretty nice page on the swap: http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/R200.htm ------------------ Pete Paraska - 73 540Z - Marathon Z Project - pparaska@home.com">pparaska@home.com - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
