S15 200sx owner Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I have been advised out here in NZ to use a Mech LSD from a R32 GTR Skyline for my RB30det 240Z project, i believe these diff's to be a mech R200? Does anyone know if this is correct, and has anyone done this swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Is'nt the R32 diff a short nose? That is short from front to back compared with the original Z long nose. Different mounts, at the front anyway, not a bolt in job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I am not sure what year the R32 is but I have one of the Arizona Zcar LSD diffs. I was told it was out of a late model Skyline with aprox 20-30K miles on it. It is an R200 with 4:38 gears and it bolted right into my `71 240 (replaced an R200 4:11 from a 200sx). Used the same axel flanges and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of you Aussie or Kiwi guys know if this R32 GTR diff is a short-nose and if so is this a major problem to fit or not, i have a feeling that the GTR diff also runs CV (instead of Uj's) for input and output stubs....?????

Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The R32 - R34 Diffs Use Cv Axles..... They Are Also The Same Size As A 240sx Diff So Its A Short Nose Diff. I Know This Because When I Was Building My Rb20det 240sx I Tried Different Skyline Diffs To Get The Best Results Because It Was A Direct Bolt In Affair.

Ezzie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Some of the US/Canadian 240SX diffs were LSD's (short nose R200) but were all of the "viscous" type - sometimes referred to as VLSD's. The "long-nose" version of the R200 LSD's found in the 87-88 Z31 Turbo & NA V6 S12's (200SX in North America) used a clutch pack type LSD unit. These were the ONLY clutch type LSD's that Datsun/Nissan ever sent to North America installed in cars. This center section can be removed and installed in the 240SX "short-nose" R200 to replace the VLSD unit. Then, voila, you have an R32 Skyline diff!! The R32's used a "short-nose" R200 with clutch type LSD. Nissan Competition also sells replacement "beefier" LSD clutch packs to retrofit these R200's (either short or long nose) but they are almost as expensive as a Quaife, Kaaz, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
