Rear end.... I am sticking a 302 in my 72Z for drag racing and would like to know what my options are for rear end gears? Someone told me to use R200 4.11 out of a 200SX? I also heard R180 3.9 would work. What is the easiest route vs better route? Thanks.

well, for doing A drag car. Your best bet would be fab up A subframe and put A cut down solid axle with wheel tubs in.

The next step down would be A corvette (c3 I think) rearend. The corvette used the same style rear with independent rear suspension and can be fit in your Z. No it wont just slip in & bolt-up. But if you are going to go V-8 for drag racing you will be putting more power to the ground @ much more hp&torque then any stock nissan rearend was ment for.

Just do it rite the first time. After all the first you will need to track down the nissan rear you think you want. Blow it at the track and start looking again.

Alittle more money up front will save you tons later.

You might also want to consider the bigger and tougher Viscous-type R230 LSD

found in Twin Turbo Z32's (model years '90-'96) and the Infiniti Q45 from '90-95.

Or wait for the 350Z to hit the street and find out what kind'a diff it has. :)

This would be a good question to post over at HybridZ.
