Q45 r200 install notes

This will be updated as things roll-on

 

Installation of the Q45 R-200 vlsd into a 280Z R200 housing. So far I have gathered the nessessary parts for the drive axles (or so it seemed) I picked up a Q45 lsd with drive axles at a local yard. I also got some 5 bolt flanges off of a 90 300zx.

 

Important things that i could not find on the forum.

1- 5 bolt flanges are not the same spline count as the 6 bolt flanges

 

5 bolt flange is 27 count

6 bolt flange is 30 count

I confermed this fact today. Not sure if its easyer to get a nother set of compaintion flanges that are 6 bolt or just have the shafts to fit?

 

next task find a machine shop that will cut the axles and respline(if there is such a thing.) to a 27 count spline so that i will have one side 27 and other 30.

 

Some things i need to know from the experienced members.

How would i measure the shaft length from center to center of the flange adapters? Any help on this would be great!

 

I will be pulling the differential down to remove the core soon. I remember reading the it takes some force to pry out the differential flanges. Cupple of prybars and a hammer should do it.

 

Anyone please drum in any help would be appreaciated.
