1984 Manual Hatchback MR30' Skylines with rear disks used 4.1 R180's. Auto MR30's would have been fitted with 3.9 R180's. The diff and the driveshafts from either bolt into the the 1600 (But note my last para below).
If you like a bit of work to get big, beefy, rear disc brakes, the MR/HR30 trailing arms (with the big discs) bolt on to the 1600 cross member giving a slightly wider track. The real work starts where you have to use a coil/shocker unit to replace the separate 1600 spring and shocker, or insert a 1600 spring holder in the Skyline trailing arm and lower the shocker mounting point on the trailing arms - big engineering jobs. These days its easier to use R31 disc conversions on the 1600 trailing arms. HR30's (not originally sold in Aus but they now exist here.) have the same R180 diffs but are fitted with CV type driveshafts that have 6 bolt outer flanges at the axle, so they need to be altered if you are using the 1600 trailing arms. I have only studied one HR30 (the original Skyline turbo) - a low Kms import fitted with a 6 cyl L20A Turbo. I got my 1600SSS a bolt in (no floor cutting) 5 speed gearbox from it and I scored the rear trailing arms just for interest - (still have them if anyone is interested). I assume the beefier rear driveshafts were to cope with the bigger power. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stuey Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 8:12 PM Subject: what diff in r30 skyline hatch? > > hey there listers, i have a guy who has offered me a radiator from his r30, > and i was wondering what diff is in the 84 r30 hatchback skylines, and if > its an r180, can i use the shafts from the skyline to put into my 1600, or > do i have to use the standard r160 1600 shafts......???? > > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [email protected] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
