My buddy Wes Atkins from Drift Brothers has a 94' Q45 w/ RB25det swap any way I need to know if the 4.09 gears from a Z32 will bolt to the VLSD in the R200 in the Q45. Or maybe use the whole R230 in the Q w/ the Q stubs. I've been hunting info for wees Please help.

i think you gotta do some cutting to fit the R230 diff into the R200 subframe cradle.

 

There was a thread about it on here, specifically. It has to do with 240sx IRS swap.

 

so if you can find it the info should be there.

 

You can swap the R&P out of any ABS r200 diff and put them in the Q diff.

Yes, the Q diff is an R200 with abs. But the driveshaft flange and output shafts are the same as R230 ( at least the flanges are ).

 

But to answer his question about what he could put in there that would have the 4.08 gears. He can use a 240sx R200 with abs ( open diff or VLSD ) cause the R&P are the same for both. Basically he has a gaggle of choices for gear ratio from a 3.54-4.56

Thanks for the help guys but now that I know that. Will the axle flanges from the Q spline with the Z32/240sx Diff bc i know the Q uses a differnt patter than the Z32 (bolt pattern on the flange itself)

Oh yeah and I made a boo-boo typing the first post.( Or maybe use the whole R230^SHOULD HAVE SAID R200^ in the Q w/ the Q stubs.

 

 

OK you are confusing me...

 

You say he has a stock 1994 q45 rear diff, right?

 

You say R230 Z32, This would be the TT model that came with 3.69 R&P( which has the same flange patterns as the Q45)

 

You said that the Z32 has different flange patterns than the Q. Now either that isn't a Q diff or the Z32 diff is a non turbo. And the non turbo model Z32 (R200) has I believe, but don't quote me has 4.08 same as 240sx.

 

So what I believe you have for a z32 diff is a non turbo model. Now the R&P will swap directly into the Q diff if they are both ABS models.

 

Also the splines for the wheel hub are different from TT Z32 and non turbo Z32. But the TT are the same as a Q45 just different lengths of shafts.

Yes I was speaking of the early model z32 non-turbo R200 w/ VLSD with the 4.90 ratio. bc the Q45 use a VLSD R200 w/ 3.54 ratio bc it causes the car to be quite unresponsive in higher gear ranges for high speed drifts. It boges the eng quite harshly.

As far as the splines go i was speaking of using the Q axles and diff side side hubs bc of the length issues. I was wondering if the Diff side flanges would spline between the 2 R200s. thanx

Ok I gotcha,

 

No the the axles won't swap. The easiest way is to just swap out the R&P gears they will fit with no problems.
