John Coffey Posted September 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2011 4.44 gears were available as a ring and pinion for the R180 from Nissan Comp for years. Very common racing install for the 510 guys here in the US. The R190 4.44 was installed by Nissan in a couple cars in Japan with a two pinion CLSD. It might have also been installed in Australian and European vehicles. Its sometimes referred to as the R192. I had one and spent silly amounts of money replacing one pinion bearing. That bearing is NLA now in the US and Japan. I eventually sold the diff to Ron Carter.

Mr Camouflage Posted September 15, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2011 Nope, not in Aussie cars. It was typically only used on the Z432 and Nissan works competition Z's and on the Skyline GTR of the same era.

Ron Carter Posted September 15, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2011 It could be an R-190, they are typically 4:44 gearsets, but without a photo of the unit it is impossible to say. I did buy John's R-190 3:90, as well as several other R-190's for my Z and 510.

vintagezracer Posted September 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 16, 2011 I agree, without a photo impossible to tell if the diff is an R-180 or an R-190. However, I've been told by several early Z racers that the R-190 was a diff that was brought in by Datsun comp for only a few cars so not that many were available. Therefore, I doubt it is an R-190 and more likely an R-180. I would love to know what other Datsun Comp parts are on the car??

I did buy John's R-190 3:90, as well as several other R-190's for my Z and 510.Ron - did you say "several"? PM me if you need to sell one of the R-190's.

Ron Carter Posted September 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 16, 2011 Hi Mitchell,With a 510 and a 240Z race car I need several different gearsets depending on the track we run, so yeah I have a collection of LSD's. Because of issues with parts, the R-190's have been pretty reasonable price wise. I am not looking to sell any of them at this time, If I change my mind I will let you know.

xs10shl Posted September 16, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 16, 2011 Let me know as well if you want to sell more than 1. I'm looking for a new or properly rebulit one, in the $2000 range I would imagine. Any leads would be appreciated!

Ron Carter Posted September 16, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 16, 2011 What gearset would you want for your R-190?And you are not going to find a new one, but properly rebuilt ones are around....

vintagezracer Posted September 16, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I too have a few of the R-190's (and Ron has one of mine as well I may be willing to part with one.....what ratio is needed? BTW, $5000 seems a bit high for a car that needs major chassis repair and a has a few "motorsport" parts?? Also...never heard of a Cannon header....thought it might be a cannon intake but the saw the car had SU's so not sure....
