Guest turbo24003 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 does anyone have any information about this diff. its from a 1993 R32 GTS-T skyline. i can get it for free. is it worth my time? any info about ratio's or what i need to do to swap it in would be awsome. oh its going behind an LS-T56 swap. i have searched but can seem to find anything specific to this diff other than its prolly a r200 short nose. but those seem to be listed for GTR'S........ thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If it's from a manual equipped car it has a 4.36 VLSD, swappable to the S13 240SX & either has the (small 6-bolt) triangular shaped output flanges or the round shaped (larger 5-bolt) output flanges...the auto equipped came with a 4.11 VLSD. Yes, both are short nose R200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbo24003 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 its from an auto car so 4.11 it is. as far as swaping to 240sx are you talking flanges ?....im i little lost on what your talking about with that thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 The flanges are what comes out of the diff and your axles bolt to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbo24003 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 i know what the output flanges are. i just dont know what he's talking about with swaping related to a 240sx. can i swap the output flanges or does some one make an adapter to bolt CV's to the ones that are in it ?

What I'm saying is its the same type R200 as a 240SX (S13) and is a direct swap into those, so you'd have to do the same things to it as you would to use a S13 R200 in a Z. Hope that helps!

Guest turbo24003 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 so am i looking at doing the same thing swap wise as the early Q45 dif? since thier both short nose r200's im thinking it should be the same. but then can i still use the shortend Q45 shafts? the other ? i have is will the diff hold the 500 plus hp im going to put through it. since its the vlsd it looks like it will have a better chance. any thoughts on that ? thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I finally got to where I was putting down some real power, the VLSD was (IMHO) not safe to push hard & didn't hook up for crap. I upgraded to a Cusco 2-way & haven't regretted it yet! I switched when I was making ~390 rwhp & finally got it up to 522 rwhp after some extensive mods (Full-Race GT3567R hybrid)...the difference was night & day with the 2-way. I'd go for a mechanical clutch type over a viscous anyday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbo24003 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 hmm interseting about the vlsd being not so good. im only going off of what i have read here. the diff is a freebie but its not looking like this will be worth my time. should i just build the long nose r200 i have in it now? with a cusco or similar lsd and cv's. your info is saving me alot of time in the future much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I wouldn't turn down a free one, but there are other options out there. Here's one I found recently, not a bad price either.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200089159349&rd=1,1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerrari GTO Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Here's one I found recently, not a bad price either....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200089159349&rd=1,1 I have heard TERRIBLE things about Phantom Grip LSD set-ups. I'm sure somebody else will chime in about them but from what I understand they are little more than a spring-loaded piece of sh!!!T that goes into a stock open-style differential.
