Hi Bryan, I sent you an email. mc

What does that mean? $250 exhaust, $200 sway bars, $200 struts, $150 springs, $200 bushings, $300 header, $100 stainless brake lines (forgot to mention that) I'm selling over $1200 in aftermarket parts for $800 and throwing in a free car. Also figure to pay at least $100 for an R200 and mustache bar in the junkyard. I've bought cheaper and more expensive cars myself. I'm glad you found such a fine deal, and for another $800 you can have a car that will carve corners like it's on rails. :classic: If I don't sell the whole thing, I'll take it apart and eBay everything. It's easier for me, and a good deal for someone else this way. I bought all of this same stuff for my '72 before I bought this car, and paid full price.

Hi, I have a 73 240z for sale. The good: Clear title, NISMO springs, KYB struts, all urethane bushings (steering rack, steering joint, thrust rods, sway bars), Suspension Techniques 1" front, 7/8 rear sway bars, 2 1/2" Flowmaster aluminized exhaust, NISMO header (needs small repair) 4 speed trans, Western 14x7 "Hurricane" wheels, two new 215 60 14 tires. R200 rear diff. 4 speed trans. The bad: Sunroof. Below battery tray rust, some floor pan rust. No motor, switch gear, or small gauges. Radio gone. $800 firm. I am in the Austin, TX area.

The numbers 180 and 200 refer to the DIAMETER of the ring gear. 200mm for the r200mm and 180 for the r180. The 200 is significantly stronger than the 180. The 180 has bolt on bearing retainers behind the stubs while the 200 is solid cast piece. There is a very rare 3.15 gearset out their for the r200 as well. From 75 until 81? 82? the r200 uses a 10mm ring gear bolt. Post 82 (or so, I know 85 for sure) the r200 uses 12mm ring gear bolts. To use the aftermarket LSD (except NISMO which advertises a 10mm unit) you will have to fab bolt sleeves. Also requires some knowledge in diff assembly including backlash. Nissan put an 3.70 geared LSD r200 in the mid '87-89 300zx TURBO cars. These can be identified by the finned aluminum cover. You do NOT want the viscous diff from the all white '88 SE model. You will need to use stub axles from a 76-78 r200 equipped car. Everybody wants one of these so they are suitable rare and expensive ($500-$900 used, but occassionally can be found cheap if you slog through wrecking yards.) To put an r200 in a 70-71 will require the mustache bar, crossmember, 72-78 driveshaft, diff and 75-78 stubs. In a 72-74 just the mustache bar, diff and stubs. Cuong Nguyen- Did you use the diff that is speced for a 240sx? What did you use for stubs? Is it the same 29 spline as the clutch LSD, unlike the Z31 viscous diff? Is Kaaz the manufacturer or just another distributor for the Tochigi Fuji diff? Best I can tell they manfd. the Nissan diffs, the NISMO diffs, the Precision Gear Power Brute, and the CalMini Xterra front diff. The only manufacturer (other than Quaiffe with their geared biasing diff at $1100) of a limited slip for the r200. I don't count the Phantom Grip. Oh, and the down under ARB air locker that is available for the Xterra. CalMini has the diff on their site at $449, significanly better than the $860 that Kaaz has their diff and the $900 that Nismo wants for theirs. Anybody know if the Xterra front diff is interchangeable with the 280 rear diff? This has been an ongoing mission of mine, so quite appropriately my first post on this forum.
