Georgia Flash Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I know the guy says that MSA sells something to help put this in an early Z but really how easy is it to hook this thing up in a 280Z? Anybody...anybody...Bueller...Bueller... 500 bones eh I may just have some extra bones in my closet I will have to watch this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 You will need an R200 mustache bar if you don't already have one, the front companion flange or yoke from a R200 out of a 280, and the adapters from http://www.modern-motorsports.com. The diff rear cover with the fins won't fit with the existing transverse link, so you'll need to either make a new link that goes around the cover or you could swap the cover off of an R200 without the fins. That's all I can think of. If you have an R200 already then you just swap the companion flange and the rear cover and it is then a bolt in with the adapters from MM. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 There is a complete 1986 300zx turbo w/an extra engine & turbo listed on ebay and the guy says he will take $600. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6398&item=4534879937&rd=1 You could pull the rearend out of this, sell the rest of the stuff and possibly make a little $$$ for the adaptors Ross sells.

mrcheeze36 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Its an 86 though. The LSD came in mid-87' (I think April) turbo 300zx to 89'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z2NV Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I've got several Q45 R200 VLSDs and inner CV sets. The only advantage to the eBay auction posted is that the outer CVs are four bolt and the axles are there (may or may not need length altered) which might make for an easier swap. The Q45 has six bolts, needs adapters (for earlier Zs), has lower ratio (3.54:1 vs. 3.70:1). Yes, moustache bar needs redrilling (couple of good bits, thread cutting oil and a drill press), rear transverse lower brace needs altering if using 'finned' cover, and axles need to be ordered. I'm 'watching' the auction just to get a gauge as to the 'market' for my surplus diffs. Good luck though, I really think that it is a worthwhile upgrade. edit: Actually, after going back and looking at the unit more closely, it seems that the eBay unit is the smaller case diff, which would likely make the swap much closer to bolt-in. I still believe that the Q45/300ZXTT diffs are MUCH more stout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerrari GTO Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 titanium, did you get the complete setup w/axles like the one on ebay for $325? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I thought you needed different axles when putting it into a 240z. If not I'll get those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalemZ Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hey guys, I'm new to this sort of thing but was interested in your chatter on the LSD conversion. I have a '73 240 convertible with a 350 V8 and recently aquired an LSD from an '88 300ZX turbo. Anyone know what needs to be done to install it in the 240? Any info or direction to some info would be gratly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z2NV Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 So a SEARCH in Drivetrain Forum with the phrase "LSD" or "VLSD", and you'll get more info that you could possibly need...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
