what's the gearing with the r200 diff?

 

4.08

 

thanks

 

does everyone elses lsd in the r200 suck ass or is it just mine? I cant even get the car to kick sidewayz using power from a stop when i pull out anymore. Its like the car is reving up, but the power isnt getting to the wheels. and no, its not my clutch! just curious.

 

If you have a clutch type LSD in your diff, it maybe the fluid you are using. A clutch type LSD requires an LSD additive also they DO NOT like synthetic oil if using a syn oil in your diff your LSD will slip like a bad clutch and you will get the situation you are describing.

 

I used Redline 75W90 that comes with the friction modifier additive already. I had seen a lot of Nissan guys using it in there R200 diffs, so I tried it. It worked great for me, I didn't notice any slipping when I gave the car some nice hard launches to see how it would transfer power to the wheels.

 

I believe that the stock R200 diff has the same type LSD we do, a torque sensing type. If the LSD was changed out by someone to the clutch type LSD then, a none syn. oil and an additive will be needed for proper function of the diff.

 

the r200 diff is a viscous lsd, they work good for the most part, but if the fluid (the viscous fluid, which is sealed in the diff, noone can change it) gets too hot they will stop working.

this happened in my old 240, i had to ride about 40 miles with a donut on the back.. the one wheel being smaller cooked the viscous coupling and the diff was useless. They go for around $80 from junk yards around here so I didnt care.

I'd upgrade the LSD to a better gear/clutch type over the viscous before i even put the r200 in the S.

 

when it comes time for me puddydad is getting my buisness.
