Got offered a DR 30 R200 LSD today, $1200. So can someone tell me the specs of this item?

Are they a longnose or short nose? Are they IRS like my R180? What ratio could I expect? and would it be a hassle changing over as I'm really wanting to just plain swap it over?

$1200 is a bit on the nose.

They usually sell for around $400 here in Sydney.

Dr30 diffs are usually a 3.9 ratio too.

Dunno if they are short or long nose, but I swapped a 30 diff into my 31 coupe. Bolt in.

$400 for an R200 LSD longnose from a DR30 is a bargain mate, and I'm pretty sure the 31 IRS is the shortnose anyway. From memory the longnose R200 into your car passingewe should be a straight bolt in including axles.

The R200's in the DR30/31 are all long nose specials only difference between the two diffs is the half shafts being thicker on the 31. If you can get R200 LONG NOSE diffs for $400 clams snap em up cause they'll only sell for more!! R200 SHORT NOSE sell for bugger all because they're common as!

Can put my hands on 2 3.9 ratios, and a 4.1 ratio tomorrow.$400 each

R200s aren't that special.

Guys I'm really wanting a yes or no answer as I have to let this person know soon I was hoping someone with a Dr30 would know if they were same dimensions as the R180 longnose.

Can anyone say yay or nay?

They are way bigger then an r180.

You will need the r200 shafts and moustache bar.

Then depends on the flange for the tailshaft too.

If you shop around you may find a bargain.

I got one for $290. With the bigger crown wheel bolts too.

All 3 are R200 mechanical lsd's. Prolly a little loose, take em to a good diff specialist and get em tightened up.

R200s are great diffs.

What I meant was there is no shortage of them.

Lots O cars had em.

280/300zx's, HR31's, DR30's

The zed ones come with a really cool alloy finned backplate.

just got to do a little searching at the wreckers.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
