1 I pulled the struts from a 280ZX. It had an open R180 diff so I left it in the car.
2 I recently had ride in and a quick look at an R200 long nose diff installed in a 1600. I was advised that basically it bolted in after some modifications to the mostache bar mounting bolts, swap the front flange drive, plus fitting of 240Z (uni joint) driveshafts in lieu of the CV jointed originals. I t was explained to me that the 240 Z driveshafts were used because these use the same retention sytem (circlip?) at the diff end as the CV type? and bolt up to the 1600 driveshafts at the outer end. Is this so? >From brief observation, the R200 diff is much bigger (and heavier) than an R180, and has a more "spherical looking" rear cover than an R160/180. It really drags down the rear of a 1600 with stock rear springs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 2:38 AM Subject: 280zx diffs, R180 or R200 all? > Guys, > > I've heard some nasty rumours (from the wrecker) that the 280zx arse > ends I have bought are actually R180s?
