Just Jim Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I picked up a 3.90 R200 out of a '83 280ZX at Pic a Part yesterday.Is there an easy way to tell prior to installation if it will be noisy or not? The yard also had a 300ZX with a 1989 build date and a finned rear cover on the rear but it was a short nosed R200. I though I found an elusive CLSD R200 but guess not.

240zV8 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The only easy things to check before installing it would be the play in the gears by having someone hold the tires, and those little types of things. If it's pretty tight and you don't hear any grinding you should be ok. I don't know what else you can do without installing it and getting it on the road to get a real feel for it.

alexideways Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 You can also check with a torque wrench how mutch force is needed to spin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
