Zedyone_kenobi Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted October 31, 2013 My only thing I have to source is the pressed in studs that need to fit into the output shafts that WCR sells. I could take the ones off my old Diff, but I would rather install new ones. Anybody know a source of said studs.thanks!parts should start arriving friday or monday.

madkaw Posted October 31, 2013 Share #38 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) You might have to search the threads on Hybridz for that. They were having a tough time coming up with those. I used the ones from my old axles without reservation. Not sure if I have ever read about a failure on one of these bolts.

Zed Head Posted October 31, 2013 Share #40 Posted October 31, 2013 Wonder if the dealer might have them. Looks like they're called out in the R180 diagram, but not the R200.

Zedyone_kenobi Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted October 31, 2013 I forgot all about courtesy!Thanks for that research, I am going to get 8 new bolts then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexS13 Posted October 31, 2013 Share #42 Posted October 31, 2013 Looking forward to the pics of the conversion. You will notice a big improvement going to the 3.90! If you like hwy driving I will definetly recommend a 5spd swap with that gear ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel'n Man Posted November 1, 2013 Share #43 Posted November 1, 2013 Have you looked to see what you will be taching at 60-65mph with a 3.9 diff matched with your current 4 speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter260Z Posted November 1, 2013 Share #44 Posted November 1, 2013 MitchellThat's a good question,I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to take a wild guess and say app 4000rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel'n Man Posted November 1, 2013 Share #45 Posted November 1, 2013 It could be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted November 1, 2013 Share #46 Posted November 1, 2013 I'm thinking more like 3500 at 60, depending on whether Stephen has the 336 set or the 354 in his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted November 1, 2013 Share #47 Posted November 1, 2013 Again, read the threads on Hybridz about the bolts for the side axles. Courtesy got it wrong for me and it took two months to get a refund on my credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted November 1, 2013 Share #48 Posted November 1, 2013 I read through the thread and, actually, the studs just seem to be difficult to find. Dtsnlvrs reported in Post #242 that the part number, 38228-21000, does work and can be found. In #245 you found 12. So it comes down to luck or, hopefully, Nissan made more. Somebody talked about Nissan having a vendor make more so maybe they've restocked by now. I forgot to note which post and got tired of reading so can't say who said that. Post #257 reports an option using hex heads. Maybe a design revision would be in order to allow the use of readily available studs. It's Wolf Creek's program now, maybe someone can send a prompt.By the way, somebody had "whine" in Post #273, although it was just one of several. But, reconsidering everything, the OBX option seems to score a few more points in the viability contest.Subaru WRX STi R180 Side Axles - Vendor's Forum - HybridZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
