R200 Question???!!!

You will also need the front differential cross member and the rear curved cross member from a 280z if your '72 doesn't have it. Get the half shafts as well.

10-4 good buddy

Yeah, the clunk...... I hate that part. When I replaced the U-Joints, even the driveshaft lost all of it's slight play (?!?!?!?!).

Unless I'm mistaken you will need a mustache bar from a 280z not a ZX.

Or a 260Z.

The front diff cross member is not needed from the R-200.the R-180 unit will work just fine.And I'm assuming that when you say the rear curved crossmember you mean the mustache bar?the R-200 axle shafts are not needed aswell.but I'ts always nice to have extra parts.

I think he's talking about the curved piece that wraps around the back of the diff. On early 240Zs this piece was straight, and would not clear an R200.

72 should have the curved transverse link. I think they moved the diff back in mid 71 and it was this move that required the curved link instead of the straight one.

That would be called the mustache bar.

Diff/axle corrections in the pre R-200 have differant mustache bars,these bars look identical but are not the same.bolt holes/cover mount studs are to close together and the bar itself is smaller in comparison.but they still have the curve/axle alighnment correction.

Part at the top of the pic is not the mustache bar.

He will need the 280Z mustache bar AND the part I mentioned which is more of a "curved cross member" if his car doesn't already have one..

Me again turns out a couple of months ago, I went to see if the guy had the R200 out of the car for me and ready to go, and he said that it was completed gernaded! not cool not cool at all!! Now I'm back to square one. I will be needing an R200 soon, before I put my suspention back on, just wondering if anyone somewhat near to me has one or knows where I can get one with all the parts I need to put it in my 1972 240z??? I went to my local junk yard and they don't have a clue what it is or if they have one and they said they could order me one in from some other junk yard for like $400 and that just plain crazy!! PLEASE HELP!!
