BOBBY BATES Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I am swapping from a R180 to R200. Could someone post a picture of the rear cross member and mustache bar. I need to know if the mustache bar goes in front or behind the rear cross member brackets. I am having clearance problems. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETEW Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I also have a question. From what I have read here. To convert to the R180 to a r200 I need the Front crossmember, differential, Mustache bar, and half shafts. Since I have '73 240Z I don't need a longer driveshaft and my transverse link should work with the R200, if I have read correctly. How about the front balancer? Can I use the one from the R180 or do I need the R200 version? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNick Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This shows the opposite for mustache bar mounting? http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/R200.htm my Black Dragon catalog shows the same thing Which one is right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The diagram is for a 240Z with an R180. The pic I added above is with an R200 installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators BRAAP Posted November 24, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2008 This shows the opposite for mustache bar mounting? http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/R200.htm Which one is right? No, it shows it correct. As the illustration is labeled in that link; Pictured above: Rear Suspension For 240Z The 240-Z has the R-180' date=' that illustration shows how the R-180 mustache bar is installed. [b']R-180=[/b] Mustache bar in-front of the uprights as depicted above. R-200= Mustache bar behind the uprights as depicted below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNick Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 That website never discusses the flipping of the mustache bar, no wonder I had so many issues with front mount all day today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
