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...

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

Chris I hate it but I think that is toast...

I had a trailer and the car stripped probably only weighs 300-400 lbs. 4 of us moved it by hand to the frame rack. Like $200 to pull the frame.

I thought the HP loss numbers seemed high too

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

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

Love it

Find a good frame shop and have them put it on the rack. If it's not too bad it should be an easy fix.

Stanley That makes perfect sense and the lighter driveshaft is always good.

I have gone a very similar route but it has taken me 3 years longer...

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?

What exactly are you looking for?

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?

Very cool. Glad you fixed it.

Thanks Steve. I will look for links

The kits are expensive. Just call a windshield repair guy. That is your cheapest bet if your windshield isn't covered by insurance.

Steve The sensor is in the backing plate, but what triggers the sensor? Can you get some more pictures of the setup as it goes in. I like the idea of this type of trigger wheel.

If I remember correctly the water tubes are steel threaded into aluminum intakes. With water inside you get terrible galvanic corrosion making them hard to separate later...

Cork gaskets do not like to be over tightened. That is many times the reason for failure.

He was evidently 54. I hate to hear that and his knowledge will be missed. That is going to become a bigger and bigger problem as these great vendors get older.

I wouldn't replace it until I was sure it wasn't original. Jim's car has an E31 but it is 2000 units earlier. Start there...

www.240zrubberparts.com Have you checked his site. I believe it will be fairly up to date, knowing Steve...
