HowlerMonkey Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You will need the r200 and the axle shafts....and possibly the companion flanges on stub axles if they are different bolt pattern. Also......I believe the R180 uses the smaller M8 bolts on a round flange meaning you will need to get a differential flange that matches the round flange with 8mm bolts. I believe the source for the flange you would need to match any driveshaft that mounts to a r180 would be from a 280zx non-turbo or a 200sx turbo.

chris51608 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 so basically ill need to find a r200 of a 280zx right ..and it will bolt right up ..or it need modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 R200 from 280zx non-turbo..........or R200 from 280zx turbo and find a flange from the two cars mentioned in the post above. If you're going through all the trouble, you should probably not settle for the u-joint type r200 axles and get the R200 c/v type axles. The 280zx n/a R200s will have the greatest variety of available ratios as most 280zx turbos have 3.54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
