DennisK Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have access to a R200 LSD out of an 88' Turbo and want to know if the stub axles and shafts from an open R200 will fit it for my 71' Z. I have the moustache bar, etc., and will be just street driving. I know the CV is stronger but cash and ease of installation are the priorities. Any advice is appreciated.

80LS1T Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 If the 88' Turbo car that you got your LSD from is WHITE then you will for sure not be able to use your old axles. If it wasnt WHITE then you should be able to use the axles from an open R200 with CV's. I hope your not one of the guys bidding on that diff. on ebay. That guy will not answer any of my questions. Plus in the pic it doesn show any pinion flange. Trying to get just a pinion flange with out he diff. is a nightmare! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisK Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 No, but I'm gonna look at that one. The pinion flange from my open R200 should just bolt up, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the correct shafts if it is a 88SE, but I just don't like trying my luck with a person that won't respond to a legit question, like a simple "IS THIS A CLUTCH OR VLSD" ? I doubt he even knows after looking at his feedback. I bid on it, but not no more... even if the shafts are no prob for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 White Z31 turbos have clutch types too. It's the SS ( Shiro special) which is also white and has white wheels that has the viscous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy actually' date=' the white SS was non-turbo with vlsd. white turbo Z cars had clutch lsd[/quote'] ok just to clear it up a bit, the "88SS" aka "SE" aka "White" aka "Shiro" was a turbo, came only in white with white wheels and recaro's, not every Z31 white in color is a "SS" so if it's an true "SS" it's got a viscous, if it's a late 87-89 turbo reguardless of color it's got a clutch type, if it's N/A it's an open diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 it's got a viscous, if it's a late 87-89 turbo reguardless of color it's got a clutch type, if it's N/A it's an open diff On Canadian turbo cars not all 87-89 turbos came with clutch type LSD's, it was an option. All the ones I've ever come across in a junk yard up here end up being open diffs. I know of a few clutch LSD's that have come from those cars though. No wonder you US guys have so many of those diffs! I've run across 1 in 5 years up here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
