ASA240Z Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yesterday I finally finished the removal of the rear suspension on my 240Z. I plan to replace the bushing with a power suspension bushings, install tokico blues and springs, and exchange the stock 3.35? diff with a 4.38 diff (R-180). Now Im wondering if anyone knows how to remove the side stub shafts connected into the diff? Also does anyone know if the stubs between the stock diff is interchangeable with the 4.38(4.38 did not come with the stubs)? I've read of problems with swaping the stock diff with that of a 4.38. Sofar what I know is that the large K is on the casting. Also looking down into the side, I see the threads and futher down I see more threads for the bolts. Does this help? Thanks for the help!

nullbound Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The stubs from your 3.36 should bolt right in, assuming your 3.36 is also an r180. I've done the same with a 4.11 r180 pulled from a nissan pickup. Pic 38 in this album: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2122587659 is what I put in my 280.

daveshybridz Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 what year did your 4:38 come out of? my 438 came out of a 82 4x4 truck and had CV joints, looks like yours has the bolt in type halfshaft like the 336 from a z. take the cover off and see if it has 35.8 stamped on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
