poortecher Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php You will find that the r-200 set up has been discussed at length, concerning half-shafts, differentials, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Z31 eh, my guess is that you will break stub axles ie those that your wheels bolt to. But why guess, here is your friend http://www.z31.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I'd run steel instead an aluminum DS. Yea alum is light and cool but being short in a v8z the weight is almost a non factor. Your u-joint unions will thank you after many hard launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 thanks for that www.z31 site it helped alot. so i guess i have a 3.9 inch in the rearend -86 zx No, you have a 3.9:1 gear ratio. The ring gear on the r200 is 200mm (~7.9") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavimandan Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 So a ford nine inch is 288.6mm, the r230 is 1.4mm larger then the ford nineinch, so ive been told its stronger. So the r200 is 200mm (3.9 to 1) 7.9 inches. Is this correct? What sort of lsd would you recommend for the R200? This car will be street and drag. I have been reading up on the carbon clutch type 700-1000$. This might not be the forum to ask this, but wat sort of roll cage/ fram bracing/rearend support/front end support would you recommend, so that the car doesnt rip apart? I have been looking at a few things which were a roll cage and the STI has a support package that one can buy. I saw this in a magizene which really interested me. It was made so that you were not need to have a roll cage on the street. it had all underbody supporting and strut tower supports and behind the seatfloor brace. Is any of this worth it? COuld i adapt some of these ideas so that when the car hooks up on launch i dont crush it like a tin can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
