74_5.0L_Z Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I have found an R200 LSD from a 1988 300ZX. It is the clutch type. I have some questions. Can I use the half-shafts from an earlier R200(That's what is in the car now)? It it as simple as popping out the 300Z half-shafts and popping in the 280Z half-shafts. Can I use the early style rear differential cover? I know that there is a special brace available that clears the finned cover, but I don't want to buy it immediately. What is the break-away torque of the 300ZX units? Thanks, Dan McGrath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I used my stock 240 halfshafts, but some have reported that the R200-specific 280Z halfshafts are required (they're shorter). Mine work fine, though. You'll have to swap the input and output flanges with ones from an R200 280z. You have to use a plain cover in place of the finned one, or modify the moustache bar and rear crossmember that runs aft of the diff. My LSD measured 23 lb-ft breakaway, and I think the factory spec is 18-30. You can shim if you want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
