IdahoZ Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I purchased 2 side seals for my 280Z R200 differential and they are too small. They are Beck/Arnley 052-1401 seals. Anyone who sells these seals lists this part number as the correct seal for the R200, but it is not the correct one. Has anyone purchased new side seals recently that could provide a good part number? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am still in need of a part number for a side seal on an R200 differential. I purchased yet another seal from a differant manufacturer and it is the same size as the other two I have. The last seal I purchased was an NRZ 38342-2100 (W0133-1641698) and is roughly 52 mm in diameter. The seal I need is around 55 mm in diameter. The differential is a 280Z R200. Can anyone help? I would like to install the differential, but I need a seal. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffer949 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The parts guys might be looking up the seals for the r180. Tell them to get the seals for a 84-89 300zx z31 that way their is no way to get it mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoZ Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Called the local transmission shop today and had them look up the differential seal for a 280Z R200. I then asked them for the specifications and was told the bore was 55 mm and shaft was 35 mm. This matches my differential, good news. The seal was a National 223542. I could not find a National seal, but I was able to cross reference it to a Timken, same part number. Ordered two from RockAuto at $3.67 each. Happy Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglist Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I had the same problem. I ended up just ordering mine from Courtesy Nissan after trying numerous parts places and numerous non Nissan parts. Edit: the part# I ordered for my 280ZXT R200 which may be different is Nissan # 38342-N3100 Edited December 2, 2009 by junglist adding part # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
