RB26powered74zcar Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Check this out guys... I bought one of the Alum Diff bars for the Q45 diff awhile back thinking I could maybe use it on my R200 CLSD I have in my car, but the bolt spacing on the Alum Bar is different. I was going to redrill it but found this cool solution. Its a rear finned Alum Diff cover sold on Ebay >>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33731&item=8035079441 and the thing fits perfect on the long nose R200. The Alum Q45 Diff Bar fits on it perfectly as the bolt spacing is the same also... So now I can keep my R200 CLSD long nose diff, and use the Q45 Alum Diff bar because the Ebay diff cover has the correct bolt spacing... yea....

qwik240z Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Very sweet. Not a bad price on the cover either. That red bar looks so nice. Glad you will be able to use it afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbal Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Anyone Know If This Will Work On The Short Nose R200 Diff? And If This Bar Will Mount In An 83 280zx?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 280zx does not have a bar. It has a mount in place of the bar. This mount then slips over a single bolt coming down from the rear deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Anyone Know If This Will Work On The Short Nose R200 Diff? It will fit on any R200 if you purchase the alum rear cover shown in the ebay link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 put those damn CCW's on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73Turbo240z Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 hmm... now if only it fit a stock R200 mustache bar... cause with all that added capacity, and the aluminum real estate that comes with it, you could put a pretty neat little compact powered diff cooler system into effect.

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 hmm... now if only it fit a stock R200 mustache bar.... Yep.... this whole exercise is just a fix for the guys who bought the custom alum diff bar, and want to use it with other than the Q45 diff. Its really of no use other wise....

Synlubes Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just a word of caution on these diff covers. I`ve had one of these in hand and they are a SOFT casting (for lack of a better term). Don’t torque the drain plugs OR the mounting bolts to tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
