Delasangre4231 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ok, so I have an 83 zx and I want a LSD in it. I found a used VLSD in a r200 shortnose housing from a 91 300zx. Can I swap diffs out between these housings and keep my spider gears and everything from my 280zx housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 No and search please. I have heard of people in oz and NZ using the centers and output shafts of the shortnose and shimming it back to factory specs, what is the reason it wont work?

GrayZee Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Is a 91 300zx not a R230? In which case the answer would be a definate no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 this thread says everything bolts up, i have heard of people using them, but havent seen a picture of one mounted inside a longnose housing., also only the TT z32's have the r230, the NA's have the shortnose r200. http://www.zclub.org.nz/viewtopic.php?p=4405&sid=dd03df1b7e4defba979b9158defa98cb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I replied "no" I was answering the sentence above. You cannot keep/re-use the spider gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Which also means you can't use the 280zx 1/2 shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delasangre4231 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 What if I were to get the correct aftermarket LSD form say power brute, would that just be a quick swap out or would things need to be customized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 woops:redface: thought you where saying no to being able to put a VLSD center in a longnose housing. Better check the size of the ring gear bolts and check for side stub shafts and seals that would fit the longnose housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
