What's it worth? CLSD diff
Anyone else want to chime in?

E88 head in a Series 1 car?
On the E88 issue, I wonder if the there was no clear cutoff or transition to the newer head. Like many things on these cars they seemed to use up existing inventory in a haphazard manner. So the head could be correct even though some cars in a similar VIN range have one or the other head.

Do you have an "FICD"? If so check the lines for leakage. Like Zed said check the vacuum bottle also..

280Zx Turbo Might Be The Next Collectible
I don't know if this link will work directly or not but here it is https://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vbe=63940 I agree with Siteunseen of a #2 or #3 condition car. That puts it at $6,800 -$11,200 pretty big range. Read the descriptions of #2 and #3 cars and then look at it and decide which it is. I also agree with Steve people's emotional attachment can make it hard to come to a fair price.

Passing of Abraham DeGalicia (Motorsport Auto)
Wow. I hate that. The Z community has lost some great people in the last couple of years...

I don't know who Abraham was. Can you elaborate?

What's it worth? CLSD diff
I have opened it and verified the LSD. I figured it was just as easy to mark the outputs and input and just turn one until you get a complete revolution and that would be your ratio. I looked on Ebay and there was only one or two in the for sale or sold listings. That one was offered at $1,200. It has the finned aluminum rear cover which I saw on Ebay yesterday for like $350. I was trying to get some feedback on what was a reasonable price. I searched craigslist coast to coast and didn't find one R200 limited slip. I am not sure I want to part with it for $800. I went to Florida 4 or 5 years ago and picked up this CLSD and a VLSD complete with halfshafts. They are getting so rare I am afraid if I get rid of this one I won't come across another for a reasonable price. Steve come on anytime you're ready. Although you might want to wait until it cools off...

Have I wrecked this?
It sounds like Jim would like to help you out and there is no cross border shipping. That would be my first choice...

My Datsun 240Z
Love all the heavy armor. Like the 6 wheel Mercedes too. My son was drooling over that one.

What's it worth? CLSD diff
Sorry John I should have been more specific. I have a Nissan R200 CLSD long nose. I don't know the ratio and haven't taken the time to check it yet. Unknown condition. Bought it out of Florida 5-6 years ago from a guy who was parting cars. Turns smoothly but you know that doesn't mean it doesn't whine like a banshee at speed... I was hoping Chuck or Jeff might chime in too, since you guys are probably more familiar with these than some...

I did the same thing with the car I am doing. It was surprising how far the body was off when they got it on the frame rack. A few hours later and it was all good. Do you have the factory dimensions for the frame shop? Many frame shops don't have them. I believe I have them for the 240 but I don't know how different they are from your car. I have done the same thing with the shifter before which is probably why I noticed. When I tipped it down to clear a lot of the gear oil ended on the floor. I think I said something ugly about then...

I have a clutch limited slip diff with the half shafts. I am negotiating with a guy right now over a car. I may include the diff in the deal but wanted some kind of feedback from you guys on what a fair price for one is right now. Thanks, C

Balance driveshaft after installing new U-joints?
Stanley That makes perfect sense and the lighter driveshaft is always good.

Thanks, Steve. So if you have that many and the other guy had 3 do you tell the software how many pulses make a complete revolution?

L24 Rebuild -Again!
So you just have to dimple the flywheel to get a tone, not drill all the way through? Who drilled it for you? Machine shop? How accurate do they have to be and was rebalancing necessary?

Slipping Clutch.
Very cool. Glad you fixed it.
