R200 prices

I was wondering how much you guys paid for your R200 diff's. Which Nissan car did you get them off of/year? When I get my project under way I just want to know whats going to be best.

 

My 2 cents on which ratio.

 

I have 3.54 driven by LT1 T56 and there is no way I would want a lower effective gear (3.9 etc) than that. Of course I cant speak to how the automatic would change things, but I actually chose my tires specifically (as there are few R200 options) to get to a taller gear for it to pull against and allow 1st to reach a sensible speed before second was needed.

When I had smaller diameter tires with this set up it incinerated 1st, it was useless as the red line came up before you really got moving without extreme care.

I did some investigations and many of the truly fast street cars get to 35+ or almost 50 for the corvette in 1st. I get 45 mph with 275 40 17s

And finally, I could not live without a LSD, it makes it easier, its the confidence with which you can pull away with less careful foot work and, your not left wondering if you are going to sit there making smoke and not moving
