THank you guys. I will give Chloe a call tomorrow. Thanks once again, joe

Hi, I have taken the halfshafts apart from a 1978 280ZX. I am ready to put them back together and bolt them to the differential - its a R200. I am not having much luck finding the nuts that are used to hold this together. All in all, I need 8 of these 10mm 1.25 pitch nuts. Does anyone know where I could find some of these nuts? I would really appreciate any help on this... Thanks, joe

Hi, Please forgive me for asking, but I need some help. I am working on a 1972 TR6 and since the bolt patter matches that used in Nissans, I am in the process of fabricating attachments to hang a set of rear calipers from a 1984 300ZX. The car originally came with drums, so the improvement to discs will be great. Why? Well a friend of mine gave me the calipers and they will be a great fit. I took them apart and unfortunately the pistons are pitted. THey will leak. Several qustions come to mind: is there a way to buy just the pistons? These calipers look in good shape, so maybe buy a rebuild kit and new pistons and I'm ready to go. HOWEVER, does anyone know where I could get a set of rebuilt calipers at a good price? Any info would be greately appreciated.... Regards, joe

Wow, Thanks to all. I am impressed with this site - man, did I get some answers and in a timely way. You guys are very lucky to have such a nice place to ask questions. I have visited many other automotive related websites and forums with no way near the response that I have found here. Thanks very much. I am looking forward to getting the R200 in my TR6 and maybe in a not too distant future upgraing it with a LSD kit. However, for now, I'll stick to using it 'stock'. Once again, thanks... joe

Thank you. That was the information I need... regards, joe

Hello, I am seeking some help please. First some background: I am restoring a 1971 Triumph TR6. The differential is shot and I was able to get hold of a 280zx manufactured in October of 1980 for free. I have taken all the rear suspension apart and so far I am going to use the differential out of the 280ZX and make the necessary adaptors to make it work in the TR6. I have access to a machine shop, so the manufacture of parts will be no problem. The TR6 has a independent rear suspension and so far, I see no problems as to making this all work. HOWEVER, I have been doing research and so far I am very confused as to what differential I am looking at. From what I gather the 280ZX's came with R180's or R200's. The car I was able to get hold of is a straight drive car. How do I tell if what I have is really a 180 or a 200? It appears NOT to be a limited slip differential, but I am not sure. Would somebody please point me in the right direction? If I have posted in the wrong forum, please forgive me and suggest a better venue to post my question. Thanks, and I am very grateful to have this opportunity to ask my question... Regards, joe
