randy 77zt Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 got a 87 r200 lsd rear .i know i could swap my 280 z pinion flange on to new rear end but i dont want to upset the pinion bearing preload .i was wondering if any body knew where i could get a different yoke for rear of drive shaft to match the 87zx pinion flange.i have a motorsport drive shaft with serviceable u joints.

Arif Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 I took my LSD flange into the driveshaft shop and they matched up a yoke onto the driveshaft. They didn't put the part number on my receipt, but it was about $75 to modify the driveshaft. BTW that was a good deal on that LSD wish I had a pick and pull around here.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 Preload on the pinion bearings is set with a spacer thing, pinion noy torque only keeps the inner bearing races seated. ie. you can easily remove the flange and replace it without effecting anything. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 The r200LSD does not have a crush sleeve to set the preload like 12bolt GM rearend. So to my knowledge you won't have a problem doing the swap. Just torque the pinion nut to spec. Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 Torque the NEW pinion nut to spec. Make sure you get a new one else it may not lock adequately enough to stay put. That would be very bad. $2 or so from a dealer. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 are you worried you'll dramatically change the preload and wear patterns? 180ft-lbs was spec AIR which is damn tight...tolerances are mostly in the shims/gear setup etc AFAIK. Having done some 5 yokes or more by now on my own/dads/friends/sold LSD's and not a hint of any troubles just FWIW. Was a simple 10 min. max swap. Lots of miles on mine and others by now. just FWIW, I"d be hanging onto that $ Oh yeah, my dad already had a skookum aluminum driveshaft built with not so common high speed balancing so we weren't going to cut that one up:-) [This message has been edited by Ross C (edited November 05, 2000).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
