ezzzzzzz Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have been searching through several posts here and other sites. I have a Nismo R180 LSD that I installed R180A (early 720 4x4) 6-bolt side flanges into. Now I'm interested in installing a R200 LSD. I don't want to reinvent the adapters in order to fit my custom Porsche 930 CV axles. Is there a snap-in side flange for the R200 that uses this early 6-bolt pattern or am I back to square one for the inner adapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have never seen a set of diff stubs with that bolt arrangement. There always to the outboard side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Me either. I was hoping someone could come up with another application that might use something like this. My axles are lockwired and I don't feel like pulling them just yet. I'm building a LD28/P90A 2.9 stroker to replace the L24. When I'm ready to swap engines then I'll pull the axles to have another custom set of adapters made to fit the later 6-bolt patterned R200 flanges. It's only time and money.....I wish I had plenty of either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 How about this JDM diff shown below? This the very pattern I'm looking for. Will these flanges snap right into a long nose R200? Will the flanges of this Q45 diff snap into a long nose R200? If so, I could machine new adapters to use these.

ezzzzzzz Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Will these fit the long nose R200? They are for the S15 HLSD diff but are purported to fit the S13, S14, and 240SX. The parts numbers follow. 38220-4P061 38220-4P060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Back again. I've been over at http://www.driftworks.com perusing through the forums. There are a variety of 6 bolt output shafts (side flange) for different applications (manual, automatic, HLSD, VLSD, etc.). Before I look further can someone tell me if the open diff and CLSD output shafts are the same pline count and length or do I need to find a long and short pair? It would be so much easier with a bunch of parts lined to test fit....sigh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510six Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I am going to convert over to a set of 930 cv`s once my supply of NISMO soild U joint halfshafts is exhausted.My plan was to use the U joint halfshaft stubs and to make the adaptors fit for use with one of the common size aftermarket 930 axels.My machinist tells me it would be NP to make the adaptors. http://cat.cip1.com/catalog.asp?pg=149 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Look at my gallery and posts regarding CV axles. I used EMPI axles. The adapters were not a major problem but were not cheap. I spent roughly $325 on the adapters and drilled/tapped all of the holes myself. If I were to have these copied the cost would reasonable. The 930 CV's were around $55 each. The big cost would have been the 4 boot flanges but I lucked out on these at about $30. Porsche wants $129 a piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 About the R200 output shafts, It is my understanding that the LSD diff's will fit the early R200 casings. The diff and axles should be swapped as a set. As seen in the photos the S13 and S14 diffs did use the 3x2 bolt pattern I want to retain. Over to the pick-n-pull Friday morning to look for a donor 240SX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the research I have done - and going by the OBX HLSD that I purchased that is designed for the 240sx S13/S14 Base/SE/LE models, these all take the 29spline 30mm shafts = same as the open shafts. So if you pickup some S13 open inputs that have the 6 bolts setup then you should be in business for a long nose R200 with a open or CLSD center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510six Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 It`s really amazing how the aftermarket options for different sized axels and the 930 cv joints is.CB Performance is about 15 min away from myself and I was given a set of 930 cv`s. http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=1353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
