Z-Dreamer Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 As per a previous post, how much power/torque do you think a R180 IRS can take safely? I purchased a 86 Nissan 4x4 pickup and have discovered that it has a R180 LSD with 4.? gears in the front diff! It would be nice to run this my Z if possible. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Mark ------------------ " Now where did I set my beer?

MYRON Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 Mark, The axle in the 4x4 is a solid one. Are you going to try to switch the innards (ring pinion planetaries)between the IRS and the solid axle truck unit? Myron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 Myron, I think he is referinf to the front Diff... Mike ------------------ "I will not be a spectator in the sport of life!" mjk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 is it possible to switch the innerds of the solid axle to the irs? i would think so but i would half to look at them next time i visit the junk yard. if it is possible, then do the trucks have the same gear size for the r200 also. i would like to swap the innerds on mine to a lsd unit but would like a 3.36.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Everyone, Doesn't a front diff. spin the wrong way? Would a gear change solve this problem? Glenn P.S. I would have to be sceptical that a front diff. came stock with a L.S.D. It seems that it would realy hurt your ability to turn. If it is for real I'd bet that the brakeaway torque would be low for steering purposely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted December 9, 2000 Author Share Posted December 9, 2000 I was referring to the front diff. It's an independent front suspension and yes I'm interested in using the "Innards" (third member,LSD, gears). If it can be done, then the question is, is it worth it? I did notice that the stub axles look bigger and it has CV joints. Thanks for the quick responses, keep'em coming Mark ------------------ " Now where did I set my beer?
