vissan260z Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello everyone, I'm thinking about buying a 4.11 differential from EBAY for $420 for my 260z. I'm not exactly sure what year it came off Nissan 200sx. but I think 4.11 only came in 200sxt turbo. Is this a reasonable price?...Another question is speedometer? Can I use a speedometer cable from (75-83 280zx) R200 diff i can pick up at local junkyard? I know that i have to change the pinion gears and possibly the sleeves also....I really need help...please don't slam me with your remarks..I'm just a newbie and very excited about working on my datsun.. thanks, Vissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The speedo cable attaches to the transmission. As long as you're not changing the transmission, you don't need to do anything with the cable. You will need the correct pinion gear as you stated to get the speedo to read right. You can get the pinion from Nissan. $420 is expensive in my opinion. I would expect that you should pay between $150 and $250 for a diff in good condition. Is this the R180 or R200 diff that you're buying? 200SX's came with both. If you're changing from R180 to R200 you'll need some additional pieces, mustache bar and such. The list of what is needed is in this thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=114798 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Damn... I just saw a 4.11 200sx r200 in the JY near me. I can get you it for that price hehe. Imho it is too expensive. 3.7's and 3.9's are plentiful. 4.11 not so much, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vissan260z Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 hey guys, thanks for the inputs! I guess you guys are right its little too expensive. I did saw an R200 with a 3.9 gears a week ago at a J/Y but it has 230K on the motor so decided not to take it. I'll be visiting local J/Y again this weekend so hopefully there'll be another one...once again thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Anyone figure out exactly what year 200SX turbos came with the 4.11:1 R200s? Did the V4 200SX come with the 4.11:1 R200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Anyone figure out exactly what year 200SX turbos came with the 4.11:1 R200s? Did the V4 200SX come with the 4.11:1 R200? Any 200sx turbo (s12) will have the 4.11 R200 the V6 cars came with the 3.9 R200 the CA20 (non turbo) all had 4:11 R180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
