subtle_driver Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 if i had a 280zx 3.9 diff, and say a r200 vlsd short nose diff from a 300zx or q45; can i swap the vlsd section into the long nose somehow? can i still use the stock 4 bolt 280zx output shafts? has anyone done this before? What im trying to do for my 240z is end up with a drivetrain that will handle 300-400hp with easily obtained parts from the junkyard! any ideas? i don't have much money to work with! thanks!

NZeder Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Alot of the questions you have asked are already covered on this site - please try the search feature but to quickly answer a few of your questions if i had a 280zx 3.9 diff, and say a r200 vlsd short nose diff from a 300zx or q45; can i swap the vlsd section into the long nose somehow?Yes - but the later centres have holes for the M12 crown wheel but the 280zx will be M10 which means you need to make some spacers to take the hole down from the M12 to M10.can i still use the stock 4 bolt 280zx output shafts?No the VLSD needs the extra long input shaft to engage the VLSD centre - if you use the stock shafts you still have an open diff These are the quick answers - search and you will find more about what you are looking for.

DRZ man Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I installed a s14 vlsd in my 280z r200 long nose, everything fits ok but I havent installed, can find the right axels to work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Long as you keep the input stubs that came in the VLSD orig., then you will just have to make up a pair of 1/2 shafts to attach to the VLSD input stubs and the wheel side companion flanges.... There are current threads dealing with this exact issue in the drive train section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
