johnc Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Nope, just called their tech line and talked with the rep. I suspect its the Nissan 2 pinion LSD and not the Nismo 4 pinion, but until I have a PB in my hands I won't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Oh yeah, R180. Well that would be a problem if it was a 2 pinion. I suspect that it is the 4 pinion, just because the Nissan Comp catalog doesn't even offer the 2 pin anymore: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CP&Category_Code=s30_nismo_r180ls They should be able to open up the box and tell you if it has one crosspin or two. 2 minutes and you'd know for sure, that's not asking too much.

johnc Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I called Reider Racing instead of Precision Gear and got the scoop on the PB: LOM55 - R180 4 pinion - $498.95 LOM103 - R190 2 pinion - $549.95 LOM59-12 - R200 (12mm ring gear bolts) 4 pinion - $609.95 LOM59-10 - R200 (10mm ring gear bolts ) NLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC, i know you use or used to use a r180, any idea how much the four pinion can hold (hp or torque). I know it has been talked to death but i can never get a straight answer.

JMortensen Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 That's a pretty good deal at $498. I'm surprised they have the R190! Although I do believe it is the same as the H190, so they might sell 1 or 2 a year for older Nissan trucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I know it has been talked to death but i can never get a straight answer. There is no straight answer. Lifespan may vary depending on usage and driving style regardless of power levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC, i know you use or used to use a r180, any idea how much the four pinion can hold (hp or torque). I know it has been talked to death but i can never get a straight answer. As Drax said, there is no straight answer. There are any number of folks (some on this board) that can blow up a R200 with a stock, 150hp, L6. And there are others that have had 2 pinion R180s last for years behind a 300hp small block Chevy. IMHO, if not shock loaded, a R180 with a 4 pinion LSD installed can handle 250 ft. lbs. of torque. I ran around 275 ft. lbs. through my road racing R180s (with a Quaife diff installed) and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 There are cases of much more power than that through a R180LSD as well.. I think it was SavageZ that was running a VG30ET with (I think) ~300ft-lbs for many hill climbs and racing events without any issues. It seems to me he had been running that setup for 5+ years without issue. Search it out, there was a post not so long ago about this topic that had his results in it.

JSM Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I found my from searching this site, www.car-parts.com I know this is an old post but thanks for that link. I needed a starter for my 2002 truck. Dealer didn't have it, Pep-boys, Autozone backorder, cheapest I could find was 139 + core of 44. Got it used for $40.00!

Careless Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just bought a 1987 300zx Turbo, and one of the receipts says the differential was replaced for 200.00. I hope Whitehead's didn't take the CLSD out and put a VLSD in because they know whats up in there. How can I make sure I still got the CLSD? I'm sure a cover swap would remove all suspicion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It may not have a LSD anyways, as they were not in the early 87.... Though not 100%, you could try the 'ol spin the rear wheel and see if they both turn the same direction... Other than that, you know the drill....

Z-Gad Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just bought a 1987 300zx Turbo, and one of the receipts says the differential was replaced for 200.00. I hope Whitehead's didn't take the CLSD out and put a VLSD in because they know whats up in there. How can I make sure I still got the CLSD? I'm sure a cover swap would remove all suspicion The VLSD would require the VLSD axles (which they would not do). The CLSD and the open diffs use the same axles. To check and see if you have an LSD, jack up the rear of the car, and turn one of the rear wheels by hand. If the other wheel moves the same direction, then you have an LSD, if it moves opposite, then you have an open diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Or pull the cover and compare to the pics that you'll find all over this site if you search for CLSD, LSD, Nismo LSD, Nissan LSD, R200 LSD, clutch LSD, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Cool, thanks guys. I think the axle part is the kicker right there. If I don't see the wheels spinnin the same way, i'm going to have to pay a visit to whiteheads with the receipt, and ask where my CLSD is =) I'm going to go search for CLSD pics now.
