Dr30 And R31 Skyline Rear End Compatability?


Recommended Posts

Hey Crew,

Can any one tell me if both the DR30 and the R31 came with an R200 Diff and compatible CV joints and axcels?

I know the DR30 had the R200LSD and 6 bolt CVs... but did the R31 have the same set up?

Im in need of a few more R200's and matching complete CV set ups, outter flange is also a must.

Cheers

The three most common sources for the Longnose R200 is the HR31, Z31 and R30 coupes. Pretty sure all long nose have 30mm diameter axles, 29 spline and shafts are the same length.

hr31 sedans and coupes all ran r200 longnose, twincam turbo models ran lsd diffs and larger 4bolt shafts, non turbo and rb20et ran open diffs and 6bolt shafts like hr/dr30

this seems 2b the case with z31 also, turbo = lsd+4bolt shafts, n/a = open+6bolt

6 and 4 bolt shafts are interchangeable at the diff end so u can run a hr/z 31 lsd diff with hr/dr 30, n/a hr/z 31 6bolt shafts

hr/z 31 center diff mount is a compact steel/rubber unit unlike the r30's mostash bar but the mounts on the diff back cover are the same throughout models so fully interchangable

    • 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
