cyrus Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Do R200V or R230V come with a steeper (numerically lower)ratio thatn 3.54? I have searched a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The R230 from a TT ZX has a 3.90. The R200 from the NA 300 ZX (90 - 9?) has a 4.11, same as a 240SX R230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Some R200's did come with 3.36 gears. 3.36 R180 are very common. Hard to believe none of your searches came up with the tables listing rear end ratios by year. Must have been posted dozens of times.

mrcheeze36 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The 300zx tt R230 is a 3.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The Pathfinder Armada R230 rears are available in 3.36 and 2.95:1 ratios. As far as I have been able to discern, they are not LSD. I recently got under an Armada and visually verified that externally its R230 looks very similar to the Z32 TT diff - the only difference I could see is the finned rear cover on the TT unit. A quick check with Courtesy Nissan reveals that a ring & pinion set for the Armada is around $300.00 retail. I still may order one and eyeball the fit into my spare R230 -. I was investigating this option for my setup, but probably have acheived my desired gearing through transmission ratios and tire sizing. I've mentioned this to Z-Gad, who will probably be breaking his 3:36 R200 with that nasty 2JZ. The 2.95 ratio sure looks sweet for an automatic turbo car or a healthy SBC....I'm sure he will report if he tries the R230 option. BTW, second that the Z32 TT diff is 3.7.
