z ya Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I am just finishing my r200 swap on my 240. I used a 280z mustache bar and r200 and then used the offset lower transverse link from the 72 240.If you have a pick in pull in town, I paid 13 bucks.

madmanadam Posted March 14, 2002 Author Share Posted March 14, 2002 Hi, good news Found a mustache bar pick it up tomorrow and I took my drive line and 2.00 flange to Drivelines NW. They said they see if they can mach it up, way cool. I will going with the 2.00 flange just because it is thicker,beefer and hope that they can find on to match. I find out tomorrow, day off. Thats the latest Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 Update, nothing. NW drivelines still have the haft shafts and the driveline. I told them to take there time, just hope not to long. I just hope they can find me u-joint that will fit the 2.00 flange. They said they found one but would not recommend it, due to it was not to beefy and they were concern. Oh, by the way. Changing the control arm bushings is a pain in ars. heat, cut and pound. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 Just got the call from the driveline NW and they are unable to help me with the 2.00 flange. So I guess I need to find and 2.25 flange. Anyone got one? They did say I could probably have a local machine shop make me an adaptor but I would have to shorten my driveline again. This is a pisser, loks like I should just stuff the R180 in and see how long it will last. The only flange they found would use the smaller u-joint from Datsun. Can any one Please help Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanadam Posted April 8, 2002 Author Share Posted April 8, 2002 The swap is done! All is great the car is a jocket. Took the car for a jolt and boy what a jolt. No more Clunking or banging under the car. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Congrats Adam. Sounds like most of my projects... I take it the clunking and thunking was the diff mount? Or the r180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Yes, the mount and two bad u-joints. It was a pretty easy swap if you have all the right parts. Replacing the bushings on the control arms was a bird. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
