rturbo 930 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 A picture, or knowing what year car you have would help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If it's a manual, it should be an R200. If it's an auto (or was one) I'm pretty sure it's an R180. There's a FAQ dedicated to differentials BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Looks to be a R200. The halfshafts aren't bolted to the pumpkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroked_Z Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 it was an auto.. thanks If it's a manual, it should be an R200. If it's an auto (or was one) I'm pretty sure it's an R180.

Daeron Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 When viewed from the back of the car, the R180 is pronouncedly rectangular in shape, roughly the proprtions of a playing car standing upright, or a capital D. A fat capital D. R200s are pretty much squarish. If you REALLY want to know, go to the junkyard and find a 300ZX or a 240SX, those are all 200s. The FAQ post had a side by side photo of them IIRC.

lgoodson@pacbell.net Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 According to JTR 180's are squarish and 200's are round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R180 on top, R200 on the bottom...
