but bet you could do a deal for 20.

Yeah well I'm going to start calling some different Sheriff's Offices to see if one of them goes "Oh yeah theres actually a form you have to fill out and it'll be cleared" or some shit like that and maybe the woman I spoke too today just had no idea about it, who knows. I'll definitely be following this up relentlessly though as I'm not gonna be happy with the harassment.

Easier to replace whole diff

There are many R200s

Interchangeable to a degree, both in diff centres and diff housings

Depends on pinion length; ABS vs non ABS. Think the splines are much the same, so in a lot of cases you can swap half shafts over, e.g. putting 6 bolt GTR flanges in a 5 bolt GTS-T diff.

I have an S14 ABS diff in my R33, that got rebuilt with my R33 KAAZ 1.5 way while my car stayed on the road. Then just swapped the diff and half shafts for quick installation. Ratio is a tiny bit shorter.

Before i start googling, R200 diffs... Easier cheaper to install diff inside existing, or just replace the whole diff? Are they generally interchangeable?

Mike and I (ok, mostly Mike) rebuilt the centre of my R230 with new nismo discs and swapped it over to replace my old A-LSD R230. Was a pretty simple process, but there's a lot of things that you need to know before you start... marking certain threads for the pinion etc so your backlash isn't stupidly lashy when you're done.

mk thanks for the info. gonna have to drop the rear subframe to some degree to put springs/coilovers in, thought might be worth having a look at the diff. got told its an R200 series, but only way to know is pull it off and open her up i guess...

    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
