[pmac]

Don't know about the R200 pinion bearing, but I'm told the R180 one is NLA

Depends how hard you look!

Nissan didnt make bearings themselves . Youcan even see the NSK numbers one one pic.

Here is a R200 version.....................

Pete,
I took the nr on mine to the local bearing guy and he said it was NLA as well, but if there's a source, will be glad to find it

Mike, would the subaru part not be the same?

Hey Rob, sorry but its just old age
Getting a lot of finger trouble lately, its not easy typing in the dark!!

Got another diff from Smokie(Graham) Nice chap with a very nice and straight early 240z.
So here's hoping this one is not another boat anchor!!

Good luck Andrew. Are you coming to Donington?

Yes I am going to Donnington, just need to get the diff swapped out this weekend.

Nice bit of gathered info Andrew. I did it a while ago for my R190 diff, makes having the info handy when needed.

 

[andrew muir]

Just an update, spent last night swapping over to another diff, also found a split nut on one of the driveshafts.
Every thing now 100% so many thanks to Graham(smokie). less noise than any diff I have had before,
I suspect pinion height and bearings gone on old diff, as the preload is way too low.
Will rebuild it hopefully at a later date.

This was very helpful, thanks Andrew.
However, for my R200, I found the front roller bearing is a 32306 not 32305.
Not sure if there are variations or a transcription error somewhere?

Just had a quaife swapped into an r180. It was just a straight forward swap rather than a full rebuild. All of the old crown wheel bolts stripped their threads when re torqueing. I did notice there were all marked with an R on the head. Anyone know what this signifies? We ended up replacing all the bolts and they torqued up fine.

 

[AliK]

So Mr Johny, given the small fortune you have spent on previous attempts, have you now found someone who can be trusted to build these diffs correctly!?

 

[johnymd]

I took them to a friend of mine, Ron Kiddell of RK Tunning. They built my r154 gearbox with all the custom internals I supplied and that’s still in one peice. The r200 feels better and is no noisier than it was (it has the usual overrun whine). I haven’t tried the R180 yet. I’m not sure he would take on this sort of work normally as he is always snowed under with skylines which is 99% of his business.

 

[AliK]

Glad you finally found someone who can do a decent job on your diff.
