so is the R200 for M10 or M12 version of the long nose R200 (assume for the long nose R200)

check the howstuffworks.com site here is a link to the diff section

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm

Then using the table of contents look at how a clutch diff works then the torsen this will help explain the differences between the two.

I have one of topgear's units however I have not installed it yet - too many other things to do at this point in time.

Guys,

I am selling my second set of Nismo B210/B310 struts -

*** NEW *** Genuine Nissan Motorsport (NISMO) struts.

Part numbers
54302-H5020 = Right Front
54303-H5020 = Left Front

Excellent for circuit racing or your custom road car. The same part number (according to my Nismo catalogue) is used in the B210 and B310 (ie 120Y and Sunny) as Datsun 1200 guys install B210 struts these will also work on your Datsun 1200 (B110).

These are special Tokico struts that have an adjustable (+- 35mm) spring perch. These lower a B210 coupe approximately 2" (or 50mm in metric terms). These require the later B310 hubs/brakes know as the Annette 14/15 type brakes. The struts are also 51mm.

*** They cost over $900NZD landed (including shipping and customs fees) here is your chance to get a bargin. And I believe there is now only 1 right strut left in stock at Nissan Motorsport USA.

You can't compare VIC snow to NZ snow. I am a Kiwi but I did lived in VIC for a few years. South Island has the best power snow in our part of the world. I ski the North Island as this is were I live but the south is much better.

200sx/S12 have the following diff's fitted depends on the engine and market as what is actually fitted.

IRS R180, IRS R200, solid H190. Engines were CA18E, CA18ET, CA20E, FJ20, FJ20T

Yep Zed stuff is 9" [228.6mm] so not a straight swap of the drum - it will have to be a complete backing plate/drum sway = might as well go to discs, well that is what I am planning to do on my B210

B210Sleeper - is that your car in the your avatar? If so I forgot that the US sold the B310 as a 210 much like the A10 as a 510 (why does the US do this when the rest of the world does not anyone......) so I should have said I have B210 aka 120Y.

Anyway I had a very quick look in the dark (no measurement) and I believe you could install the whole backing plate and drums from a 240/260/280z onto the rear axle/diff housing with a little work.

Well I have both a Zed and a 210 - never thought to check if the alloy finned/steel drum (ie steel inner alloy outter) will fit the 210 rears - I know they fit on a 510 drum (had some on my old 510 years ago) - given my zed is in bits and I will be going to disc on the rear I could just try one of the zed drums on the 210 and report back later :) but I will be going to disc on the 210 in the future also

Are you in the UK? How much of a hurry are you in for one of these from Topgear? Reason I ask is that I have one on order also and will have it delivered to our Melbourne office. I have another business trip from Auckland New Zealand in July and I will pick this up then.

Now the bit that might interest you = in October I am off to the UK/London for business again so I could take as hand luggage if the cost will be too much.
