Guest kc6wfs Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 I was at the local pick a part and noticed a 1989 200sx and looked at it's rear and it has a "finned" alum cover. Is that a give away for a LSD or do all the 200sx's have the finned cover. Is it a R200 also... looked like it had CV's but I did not think about the LSD when I was there. I was in a rush looking for a Vacuum booster. The trans was gone but I think it was a stick. Thanks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 All 240SX diffs have a finned cover. The LSDs came in cars equipped with the HICAS rear-steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 I stumbled across a complete Nissan IRS with a LSD and it appears to be a 3.90. My rough measurement is less than 60" hub-to-hub. Have not asked about price but I am sure it would be very reasonable. Anyone interested? I do not know the difference between a non-Z R200 and a R230, but I have never seen a diff like it before. The CVs look very beefy. I will take a pic and post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Hey Scottie, what's the diff. out of? Not interested, just curious. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I do not know what it is out of, so someone tell me. Nissan IRS 1 Nissan IRS 2 Nissan IRS 3 He also has a Jag IRS and wants $450 for it. Yes, it is upside down in case you were wondering. Jag IRS By my rough estimation, the Nissan diff is a 3.90 LSD and the Jag is a 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I think that is out of a 240SX or something else like a 300ZX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 That is an R230....Have two sitting in my garage...I'd love to have the axles out of it... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Scottie, If possible, I would REALLY like to have the inner CV units from one of those R230s (ie 2 CVs). Don't need the shafts. The CV come of very easily...just a wire clip in the housing, then a C clip on the shaft once you pull the knuckle out of the housing...any chances? BTW..those look like units from Infinity J30s. Thanks Tim BTW #2: I have a picture of a R230 from a Q45 with shafts on my site if anyone ever needs a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LT-1 350Z Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 in my opinion that r200 of a g30 or 240sx .the r230 don't have nuts to bolt the inside joint{the joint has the tread for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dp351zcar Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 That look like a new style R200 out of a 240sx ot a S32 z. Based on the subframe I would say 240Sx. If they are a LSD it would be a viscous lsd. When testing for a LSD by turning the axles a viscous lsd axles will turn independently it just is very hard to turn to turn them. A open carriers axles will turn easly. I had a junk yard guy say one was not a LSD because I could turn and he sold it cheaper. He just didn't know how hard I was turning it.

Scottie-GNZ Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Checking in from the Big Apple. Cannot stay away for more than a day So, what is it? I obviously do not need it but if others did, I would get it and part it out. The owner cannot remember what it came out of but I can get it fairly "cheap". Will say one thing, it is from a fairly new car because it is clean as a whistle. It is an LSD and my guess is 3.90:1. He wants to get rid of the entire unit and unless I can move the diff, no point in me picking it and getting stuck with it. I will be back 6/19 so if we can clearly identify it and someone wants the LSD, I will get it and part it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
