OK, the answer is....3.90! I pulled it out, stuffed the axles back in the housing & rolled it out the door. I contemplated keeping the axles too but couldn't figure out an easy way to keep it a roller so someone else, likely a tow truck, can pick it up.

I'm curious - Burt said "cannot calculate accurately whilst in the air" - why not?

what difference is it if the wheel is turning on the ground or the axle end turning in the air, it's still turning the same # of revolutions.

Anybody want a partial rolling chassis? Free!! DD, your close, the wife would be really happy to have another 1200 at the house!

The diff is out of a 110 coupe (N. America), I believe the stock unit should be an H145 w/a 3.90 / 1 ratio. thats what my factory manual spec's say & whats stamped on the gears of the unit I'm keeping.

This one is out of my parts car I'm working towards getting rid of.
I had the whole rearend unit out of the car sitting on a garbage can when I checked this. I marked the yoke & housing as well as the axle & backing plate & then counted the turns of the axle end to the one turn of the yoke. I'll have to do it again because I cant remember if it came up slightly short of the housing mark or slightly past it.

I'm assuming if it's slightly before my backing plate mark it's a 3.90 & if it's slightly past the mark it's a 4.10, would this be correct?

I'm just trying to figure out if I should tear it apart & keep it as a spare or let it go down the road with the shell. I'm getting sick of pulling & swapping parts.

4 turns of the diff yoke gets me almost 1 full turn of the axle.

I know the stock rearend is 3.90 - is that what this is?

Without pulling it apart is this the only way to tell what the diff is?

thanks, Evan

Junior, I'd really suggest you contact Russell @ the # I listed or e-mail Kelmo for the parts as well. I'm sure he could order them through his work & they'd ship to you also.

then you'll end up with brand new factory inserts, doesn't really get any better then that.

I might sell the other ones but I'm tempted to try swapping them to see if they feel different then the stock ones, I'm not sure yet.

good luck.

I just spoke with a guy @ Jeg's & the kit is still available & in stock @ Grant.

Guess I'll be buying a wheel & kit too!

Thanks Kelmo, your right, they fit nicely. I tried one the other night in the housing & slipped the nut on & it was perfect.

don't pay $200 / set - I have a brand new Nissan set, cost $48 ea. plus frt. & I also bought those one DD pointed me towards on e-bay awhile back - $70 total - NOS Tokina's ??/ Vera Parts I think, I'd have to look.

I also have the gas charged Gabriel's that were in the housings, there probably fine too.They were slightly larger in height though.

I'll post the measurement #'s a little later, I took them but left them in the shop.

Hey Kelmo, I also got all of my rear spring bushings - YEa!

DD, are you sure? These are the #'s that came up at both local Nissan dealers as well as from Kelmo.

I thought the strut housing & inserts for a 210 were different from a 110, i.e. larger overall.

I got these from Titus in Olympia & he confirmed that they were the correct part # for the 110 prior to ordering - is this all wrong?

Benny said - "I would not expect to see any change from 5 - 6K mark."

Am I reading this right - $5,000 to $6,000 per head - US dollars? Or is this an RPM / powerband comment?

whats a grant steering wheel? Are there other aftermarket wheels & adapter s available & if so where to buy?
thanks, evan
