900ss Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi First the important bit Excellent site this I've tried to reread as many related threads re this, but still I'm a little confused. I believe the early auto 260z uses an R180 diff and uses pop out shafts, i.e on a snap ring? Therefore does anyone know if the early auto 260z shaft will fit in a Subaru R180 differential that also uses pop out shafts? Or to put it another way, can I fit an R180 Subaru differential to a 240z n use 260z auto shafts? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I believe the subie uses a R-160 diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Some use a R180 LSD. I'm fairly sure that the later Nissan R180's had slightly larger OD clip in axles than the earlier S30 ones. What Subaru use?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900ss Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi Appreciate the replies. unfort I think my master plan has now been shot down in flames I thought I had found a 3.7 vlsd R180 in a 3.3 subby SVX I’ve now found out tho that diff will actually be an R160. Saying that I did find another subby diff that deffo was a larger R180, sorry cant rem model atm as it was loose on a shelf. Will try find out.

JMortensen Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Mid 80's Subaru XT Turbo. Real easy to tell because they put a white "LSD" sticker on the cover IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
