I do know of a guy here in southern california with a torsen gleason 4.11 R-200 rear end that he may want to sell, he said he would give me the first shot at it...I will see if he is interested in selling it.

Also, I have had to have my Diff rebuilt in my 93 300xz NA and it has an R-200 not an R-230...so building a torsen solution for a 300zx na might be an option as well.

:stupid:

How does the Torsen unit compare to the diffy that came in the SS?

the 86 87 turbo had a clutch type limited slip or viscous limited slip. It is very different than the LSD that you refer to.

The specs for the clutch type LSD are 45lbs of torque to break away, or start acting like a regular diff. That is not much torque. You can increase that by shimming the diff, but not by much.

That is why I like the Torsen/Quaife diff. You get the torque to the wheels that have traction.
