ihatejoefitz Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 There is a q45 in the junk yard and I'm wondering if it would be worth grabbing the differential out of it. This will eventually be my daily driver, and weekend autocrosser. I've got a l28ET and I've swapped out the original transmission, differential for a 5-speed and a r200. I assume halfshafts will have to be modified and possibly the driveshaft as well. Anyway, let me know what you think, any experiences, ect. TIA Edit: this is a 72 240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a lot of r200 vs. r230 debate) I'm mostly interested in hearing personal experiences with this differential, or if you decided to go another route, why? -Joe Fitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted January 17, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 17, 2007 Anyway, let me know what you think, any experiences, ect. If you're going to autoX, like you stated, my opinion would be to stay away from the viscous diffs... they lock-up 'soft' and 'late'.

ihatejoefitz Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Joe, I'm worried about you, why hate joe fitz? You are your own worst enemy, that sort of thing. This s/n started out as a joke, but stepping back looking at what I've done to my car... ugg. Long story short; I bought my car with a completely built n/a drivetrain and I sold it all on ebay to go turbo. The car was very fun to drive, it had a quaife style diff and a lot of tourque; I don't what I was thinking. That's probably more than you wanted to know, but I digress. If you're going to autoX, like you stated, my opinion would be to stay away from the viscous diffs... they lock-up 'soft' and 'late'. Good info, thank you.
