Guest Anonymous Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 just got the 300 lsd and 280zx cvs, and im wondering what im getting into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 That should bolt right in, if you have the 280ZX Turbo companion flanges. I'm pretty sure the stub axles are the same in the turbo and non-turbo 280ZX. Ross would know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 You need to swap the yoke or companion flange as Pete said. The rear cover MIGHT fit on a ZX, not sure. If not you might need to swap in a non-finned cover. The CV's you have will plug right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afshin Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 It bolts right in and the fined cover fits as well. The mounting bracket is different, but you just bolt the bracket from the 280zx straight onto the 300zx lsd unit. The CV's slip in with no modification. The hardest part is to take the main driveshaft mounting flange off the 300zx unit and bolt the 280zx one in. It is a direct swap. However taking the flange bolt off can be a pain. You may want to take the diffs to a shop so they can use an impact gun to get the nut off. Other than that enjoy, it's so worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afshin Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Ah! I just noticed that you said a 79zx. I have no idea if the cv's bolt up to your 79 hub or not. I put the 300zx lsd into my zx, but it is a 83 turbo which came with the cv's. You can probably take a look under your car and compare/measure the cv to hub flange and see if it is the same or double check with Ross as Pete suggested.

rudypoochris Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 but... would the cv's off the 300zx 87-89 bolt right onto a 240z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 but... would the cv's off the 300zx 87-89 bolt right onto a 240z? Only if you have either of the adapters for the 300ZX CV's here: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=32&PHPSESSID=18a1ef516d086d16ce6be5fc6a015a9b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellBuddy321 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 what do i need to swap my r180 to a r200 on my 280zx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellBuddy321 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 can i just use cvs from a turbo 280zx? or at least a 280zx wtih cvs? Do i ahve to change anything else? I have no idea what they are called so i guess the rear hubs? Well do the r200 halfshafts plug into the rear hubs of r180 that uses joint axles? or do the hubs have to be swapped also?

VinhZXT Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Darrel, The CV axles will not bolt to your 79 stub axle flange. I am not sure the splines for the 79 and turbo stub axle are the same or not. It's not important. The important thing is the 79 stub axles are very very hard to remove because the "big nut" is pinched onto the stub axle shaft. However on the turbo they are not pinched. When I did my conversion I just swap the whole entire rear A-arms from the turbo car. It was much easier that way and also I have 82-83 brakes also. Double check to see the splines for the stub axles are the same on both models. If so I have the turbo stub axles in my garage that I can sell them to you. GL PS. you have to flip up the foam padding to flip the rear differential mount for the R200 to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
