pakii-afa on 01:04:36 AM / 23-Feb-13dumb question probably, but lets say i use a z31 3.7, and find an aftermarket r200 lsd, does my final still stay or is that dependent on what i buy for aftermarket?

the final drive gears (gear and pinion)stay in the diff.

not very intellectual with these things, so i still dont know if that is a yes or a no :S

You transfer the gears to the new LSD, so yes, the final drive ratio stays the same.

i did some research too, going to look for a 84 - 86 z31-t rear end, 3.54 will be epic for me :) lol

So I've read the thread and from what I read an LSD made for an OPEN diff S13 WILL fit WITHOUT and modification to the axles or anything else. Right?

So this HLSD unit from OBX will fit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-LSD-Limited-Slip-Differential-91-98-Nissan-240SX-Silvia-200SX-Z31-/121203736361?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c384e3f29&vxp=mtr

Any help will be appreciated, I'd like to order soon!

Thanks!

UPDATE:
I bought one and it WILL fit. You'll need to get circlips for the diff and new bearings of course. Otherwise you're all set.

If you go the OBX route like I did... Rebuild it first!!! They come with extra shitty belleville washers that are installed wrong from the factory and they break and leave bits of metal in your new diff. See: http://www.marcuccimotorsports.com/jobs/H22%20trans/OBX%20LSD%20Washer%20Replacement.pdf

So you do not need different input shafts as stated earlier in this thread?

You only need different input shafts on VLSD diffs for VLSD pumpkins. You can buy diffs for open diff. Otherwise people with open diffs would have to buy axels with their diff and that would suck.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Was just doing some searching as I am going to attempt to put a vlsd in my R200 and make custom axles (as others have mentioned previously), and I came across this page. It's for a Z31, but since it's all so similar I felt it was worth sharing!

does anyone have a input companion flange from a longnose R200 laying around that they could take some measurements for me????
