PR280z Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello;I just finish looking at a 86zxt parts car along the way from taking the kids to school. It has everything except for the motor,trans,ecu.What parts can be used for my 77 280z? BTW the diff. and rear suspension are still there. thanks.

Daeron Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The differential and the rear axles could both potentially be used, but it would require some work. The diff *should* be an LSD, but I may be mistaken in that. Generally speaking, I eyeball any 70s-80s RWD Nissan "just in case" to see if someone installed an LSD along the way. Not much else, though. Not directly, anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The diff in an 86 na or turbo were all 3.54 R200's, so it will fit just fine, though there is no difference to your 77's diff except its newer. There are no major items that are easily transferable. If your not too tall, the seats will fit (mods req). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i have to pay is for the tow(35.00).the guy wants it out the the yard.Is the diff.worth it? thanks for the replys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 definitely worth it if it is a CLSD, check it out. A finned rear cover is a sure bet; it should look like the cylinder head of a lawnmower engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 you could get more from the scrap yard for it than 35 bucks.. So it would be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vg30eT-240z Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 actually the 86 z31 turbo and non turbo came with open diffs, only the late model 87 turbo's and up came with the r200 LSD, i believe it was from 6/87 and up that came with the LSD's or the shiro edition z31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
