Kevin Shasteen Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 I've never heard of a C200; maybe that is Powertrax's "Name" they've attached to their product which fits into the R200(?). Email them back for clearification of the mysterious C200! Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted May 3, 2001 Author Share Posted May 3, 2001 Has anyone heard of a C200 differential? I sent email to Powertrax asking if they were working on a locker unit for the Nissan R200 differential. The response was "We are in design with the C200 differential I don't know if it is the same". Is the R200 also known as a C200, or are they completely different? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 I'm thinking you won't like the answer... Final Vehicle Transmission Drive Gear Type Type Model Ratio Regular Cab Manual H190A 3.545 King Cab Automatic H190A 3.700 Regular Cab Manual H190A 3.889 King Cab Automatic C200 4.375 2000 XE/SE/LE Narrow Body Any 4.363 2000 XE/SE/LE Wide Body Any 4.636 2001 (All) Any 4.363 This was all in a table, as you can see the C200 is a truck differential, probably live axle. If thats that they're working on it does us no good at all..

pparaska Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 Lone, what about the possiblity that the C200 and R200 actually use the same differential? Isn't this the same as using a 4x4 LSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted May 3, 2001 Author Share Posted May 3, 2001 Thanks, Lone. That's too bad. I've got another R200 on the way from Zbarn. I'll see how long this one lasts... Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 Could well be Pete, it sounds like they're using the same '200' designation which would mean probably 200 mm, might be the same internals, don't know, I just found the C200 in the search engine. Could very well be though, considering Nissan's past for parts bin'ing things for lots of different models. Anyone know anything about KingCab diff's?

dmanzo57 Posted May 3, 2001 Author Share Posted May 3, 2001 I asked the guy at Powertrax for dimensions and spline count for the C200 unit. He said he would send the overall dimensions once the drawings are finalized, but did not know when that would be. He did state that it had a 7.8" ring gear and 29 spline.

Guest Matthew Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The C200 came in two "Flavors" 1.) 1986-97 Nissan Pathfinder (4cyl.) Rear Axle- 29 spline 2.) 2002 + Nissan Pathfinder Rear Axle - 31 spline (See the ARB locker site for more info) Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoeightythreez Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 As said in earlier posts...these are ALL live axles, so unless you really want to "keep it all nissan" Might as well use a Ford 9". I believe when people refer to using the Hardbody diff they're referring to the R200 FRONT DIFF (IFS) used in 4x4 hardbodies. (and frontiers, etc.) The H190 has been used forever, pretty much on every Live Axle nissan made with the exceptions being the V-6 models and later 4x4 models. H190 looks like a mini 9" ford diff. Models I've seen with the H190 include: (bolt patterns are 4x4.5, 5x5.5, 6x6) '68-'72 datsun 510 wagon(leaf spring 4-lug) I believe these were 29spline, all other H190's are 31 spline gear ratio was 3.90 66-late 80's in civilian dress- Nissan cedric sedan(non US market)(coil spring 5-lug) Cedric wagons had the H190 leaf spring 5-lug H190 gear ratio 3.70 66-present- Nissan Cedric taxicabs/police cars (non US) (coil spring 5-lug) S10, S11, most S12 200sx vehicles (only V-6 and turbo models had the R200, all other models didn't have IRS standard till the S13) (coil spring 4-lug) 3.90 Nissan pickup 521, 620 models 59-79 all models leaf spring 6-lug 3.90-4.30 depending on year and intended uses (some were camper specials) Nissan 720 pickup 80-86 2wd regular cab/king cab all transmissions leaf spring 6-lug 3.42-3.90 depending on tranny and cab Nissan stanza 83-84 4wd coil spring 4-lug probably 4.11 Nissan 1200 (datsun 210) wagon and ute (australia) leaf spring 29 spline 4-lug these might have been as low as 4.66 There probably were plenty others.... Models sold with the C200 differential all 6x6 bolt pattern 29-33 spline C200 looks like a GM 10-bolt (it even has a 10-bolt rear cover) Nissan Patrol FRONT axle (rear axle was either C215 or H233) I don't know ratios, sorry All C200's are leaf spring axles Nissan 720 Pickup 80-86 4x4 REAR axle (front axle was an R180) 4.11 ratio Nissan 720 Pickup 80-86 2wd HEAVY DUTY model (non-duallie) 4.11 ratio Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-97 2wd automatic 4.30 ratio Nissan D21 pickup 4cyl long bed 4.11 ratio Again, probably many others that I don't know about... Models sold with the C215 diff (same as C200 but ring gear is 8-1/2 or so) Early nissan patrol REAR axles (I've not read much about this rear) Models sold with the H233B differential either 5x4.5 or 6x6 bolt pattern Looks like a ford 9" being it has a 9-1/4" ring gear! 31-37 spline depending on year and application... Nissan 720 pickup 80-86 DUALLIE CAB/CHASSIS model 2wd I believe 4.65 ratio Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-94? Duallie cab and chassis 2wd 4.65:1? Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-95 V-6 2wd 3.90 Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-95 heavy duty model V-6 2wd LSD 4.11 (LSD optional)95 was the last year for the V-6, duallies, and heavy duty models until it came out on the D22 (frontier) in 1999 Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-97 4x4 4cyl rear axle Non LSD 4.69:1 (front axle is an R200) Nissan D21 pickup 86.5-95 4x4 V-6 Rear Axle LSD 4.11-4.69:1 (depending on tire size) Front diff was an R200 Nissan Pathfinder V-6 all years 2 and 4wd same as pickups but these are COIL SPRING with DISC BRAKES! Nissan Van (the one that was recalled) Rear axle 4.11 H233B 5x4.5 bolt pattern (or possibly 5x5 I've not seen many of these even in junkyards, nissan recalled these and crushed them) Nissan D22 (frontier) 4x4 rear axle 4cyl 4.69 or so non LSD Nissan D22 4x4 V-6 rear axle same but with LSD optional Again, there are many others that I've probably not mentioned. Also keep in mind these diffs are not manufactured by "Nissan" but by Fuji heavy industries, of which nissan is partial owner. This is why you can find R160's in scooby doos (and the R180's and R200's in later models) as scooby doo is owned by Fuji heavy industries. This means that most all Jap live axle vehicles (other than toyota) probably have very similar rear ends. (kind of like US vehicles that use Borg-warner and Dana axles, except for the General) There were bigger ones out there too, but good luck finding them. H260 and up...used in Nissan's medium and heavy vehicles. I think the only reason Nissan went with the dana44's in the Titan was because possibly it would have cost more to ship the H260's and H233's across the ocean, also possibly because of the 44's aftermarket, not because of any strength issues (as all who abuse R200's well know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoeightythreez Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Shoot forgot some of the datsuns with H190's, including the 710 sedan and wagon (coil spring), the 810 wagon (leaf spring), etc. Pretty neat that nissan would provide a 4-cyl. less then 100whp car with a 7.5" ring gear diff.... These things are heavy, too. I put a 720 rear in the 510 wagon I used to own (it made it slow, the ratio was 3.42, stock was 3.90) It was at least 29 spline, was 55" wide and had 12x2" drum brakes on the back. I can't imagine what the H233b weighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoeightythreez Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Though...I guess if you want a low-geared, LSD rear that's relatively narrow and is super-strong the pathfinder rear is hard to beat (I've heard that some cherokee owners are using them, apparently it's just about a "bolt in" swap and you can score H233B's for cheap at boneyards) Pathfinder rear was coil-sprung with DISC BRAKES that had internal drum parking brakes!
