Posted October 15, 200717 yr comment_224664 Does a 1981 280ZX non-turbo 5-speed come equipped with an R200 LSD or merely an open differential?Thanks in advance,Frank Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25868-280zx-information-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 15, 200717 yr comment_224665 I think that the first Z's to get LSD were the Z31 turbos. S130's I think would be open diffs even on the turbos (unless its been modified).

October 15, 200717 yr comment_224667 I have a r200 3.545 in my 77 - as far as I know it is a LSD. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25868-280zx-information-needed/#findComment-224667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 15, 200717 yr comment_224669 Rick, I have the same differential in my 78. It's the standard differential for a 77-78 manual trans S30. Unless you or someone else changed it, it's not a LSD.

October 16, 200717 yr comment_224758 81 n/a more than likely came with an R-180. all the ones I've seen in junkyards have the r180. The turbos came with an r200 and cv joint half shaft. the 2+2 I saw had the cv joint axle with an r180 diffy. as above the lsd diffy didn't appear until the later z31's Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25868-280zx-information-needed/#findComment-224758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 16, 200717 yr comment_224763 This might help...Just noticed this chart only covers to 1978. I'll look for the other one. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25868-280zx-information-needed/#findComment-224763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
