BillZ260 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Feel dumb for posting this, please delete, I'll read up alot more next time I start brousing Ebay... States it's an R180 Clutch type LSD but comparing it to Cyrus's exellent Sticky above, it looks like an R200 with a slightly different rear cover than in the sticky thread. I'm looking for an LSD 180 that I can do a simple bolt in swap, and since I' don't plan on putting huge tires on the car any time soon, I think the 180 should hold up to daily driving. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-89-94-240sx-Cusco-LSD-CLUTCH-TYPE-4-08-1-R180_W0QQitemZ130192523276QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130192523276 This one looks like a much better deal... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-SILVIA-S13-VLSD-NISMO-4-4-1-w-axles-240SX-S13-R200_W0QQitemZ170187118802QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item170187118802#ebayphotohosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It is a R180 short nose from a 180sx. Not sure if the LSD would fit a Long nose R180. If possible I would love to use a 4.10 Nissan truck gears with this type of LSD in my r180 long case. Probably will not all work together cause that would be too easy. Unfortunately I do not have all the parts sitting in front of me to check out. Maybe some one else here has tried it or can explain why it wouldn't work.

BillZ260 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 SO it's not an R200? HMM. Anyone know if I could swap out the internals to my R180? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I haven't heard of anyone trying it. I will say that I think the clutch LSD would be a much better choice than the VLSD, which is pretty lazy in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Lazy as in is takes a while to lock up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, it's a "reactive" LSD, so one wheel has to start slipping before it does anything. Then it kind of sloppily handles the slip when it does happen. There's been quite a bit posted on the differences, I'd look for one of Ron Tyler's posts on the subject.

greenmonster80 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am thinking the ring gear and LSD just might move over to the R180 long nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am thinking the ring gear and LSD just might move over to the R180 long nose. No! You NEVER want to swap the ring gear with another diff, even if they're the same ratio. The LSD may very well swap, but you should use the original ring gear. I am aware that the ring gears in the R180's changed in the mid 70's, but I'm not aware of any other changes to the ring gears after that. As long as the ID of the ring gears is the same it should work. Might have to bush the bolts if they had a 10mm to 12mm bolt size switch or something similar like the R200's did.

greenmonster80 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Found a Subaru LSD R180. Wonder if it would work in the 720 case? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subaru-WRX-Rear-LSD-R180-SureTrac_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33731QQihZ023QQitemZ360022035975QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 My understanding on that one is that the output splines in the LSD are different than what the Z's came with. If you search you should find the right answer, but I think it's a no-go unless you came up with a CV shaft that used the Subaru inner CV and some outer that could be adapted to the stub axle.

It's also the one that Precision Gear said wasn't available anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
