auxilary Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 was prepping the car to get towed to a shop to get welding/exhaust done... spin one rear tire, other one doesn't spin.... at all. I don't have the Z in my possession now to pull the diff out and see what's going on, but any thoughts/ideas? this is a nissan turbo r200 clutch lsd.

JMortensen Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Does the other tire not TURN at all, or is it just not breaking traction? If it just drives OK but you're getting a one wheel peel then the most likely case is that the clutches are stripped. Here is some info on some replacement clutches that one member made, although I don't know if he still has any. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=112921 At one point I believe he posted the drawing of the clutches, so you could get some made and beef up your diff like some of us did. Then you can install and shim per this thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117818 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 i PM'd the GB originator, but never heard back... I am pretty sure the clutches are toast, but I can't pull the diff right now as my car's at the shop getting welding and exhaust done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 so, any ideas where i can go for replacement clutches for the diff? I never heard back from the person that did the clutch run group buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 You could draw them up and have them made like he did, or you could buy a new LSD for $500. I don't think there are any replacement parts available. At least the people who have gone looking for them can't seem to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKWIKZ Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Everything might be fine. Is the diff an '87 or '88? The '87 is the clutch type that you guys are speaking of. The '88 is the viscous. This one actually produces grip as it gets hotter. While cold, it may act more like an open diff. Also, as stupid as this might sound, was the car in gear when you spun the wheel? If not, it is just as easy for the input flange to spin instead of the opposite wheel. This would happen on either an open or viscous diff.

BillZ260 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 That makes sence AKWIKZ. Can you pull it apart and visually inspect anything? I'm interested in how this works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Aux I'm in the same boat as you. One wheel spins the other does not move at all but it drives fine. Haven't had a chance to open it up yet to see whats going on but I suspect I'll be neeing new clutches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have read somewhere in here that some r200's need to get heat before gripping with both tires aswell.I have the R200 from the Q45 and if you checked out my 1/4 videos you can see one tire spinning only on the first runs..Since the runs were one after another it did started to grip with both when it got some heat.

auxilary Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 the q45 diff is a viscous diff, mine's a clutch from '88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 the q45 diff is a viscous diff, mine's a clutch from '88. 88? Do you have the special shafts that go with that diff? I had an 88 but couldnt locate any shafts for it so got rid of it. The regular shafts go in but one side doesnt go far enough from what I rememebr. Just checking!!

auxilary Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 i bought mine from a hybridz member about 4 years ago, it was already configured with halfshaft input shafts vs. the cv shafts... my diff's not out of the car yet, so i can't check for you right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 88? Do you have the special shafts that go with that diff? I had an 88 but couldnt locate any shafts for it so got rid of it. The regular shafts go in but one side doesnt go far enough from what I rememebr. Just checking!! Only the 88 with the viscous LSD has the weird shafts. His clutch type takes the usual 280Z/ZX/300ZX shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
