remplacement du différentiel du pont R180A par un Quaife

[OlivierLB]

Je lui ai demandé si il etait bulgare.....reponse: oui

Le forum nissan est international.......genial

sinon in pense monter un R200a de V6 et monter u quaife dedans....il lui semble que le diam et le nombre de cannelurs correspondent.....reste a modifier un poil les fixations du pont.

Pas de problemes pour les bulgares c'est les rois de l'adaptation........

@Sparkybg

a mi priatelka ta mi e Bulgarka! hahaha

It seems I am not the first one doing this. There's even a company making bushes for this. Well, not for Terrano 2, but fo other nissans - 240ZX, 300ZX and so on. These have a center hole moved to one side so to move the slightly bigger R200 differential down. I am pretty sure there will be surprises doing this, but I am not afraid of them

Il semble que je ne suis pas le premier le faire. Il ya même une entreprise qui fabrique des buissons pour cela. Eh bien, pas pour Terrano 2, mais pour d'autres Nissan - 240ZX, 300ZX et ainsi de suite. Celles-ci ont un trou au centre déplacé d'un côté de façon à porter le différentiel R200 légèrement plus bas. Je suis assez sûr qu'il y aura des surprises le faire, mais je n'ai pas peur d'eux

Good choice!!!

Hi,

You are right, this hase been done by others owners off Z cars. In France I have found Datsun Ohners who modified there Z cars by changing the R180A with an R200A.

Here for exemple you can find more help from Z cars owners witch are ofen modifying there R180 for an R200 model equiped with an Quaife differential .That is a very good idee but we don't have the right to do the same on our cars in France.

I would be very interested on photos of your realisation.

In the US, they have done the same operation you want to do. I had done the same if I had found à R200A with the good ratio. But I didn't find a 3,9 ratio on a R200A.

What about the arms and other modifications on the front axel ? Will you modify other points on the front axel ?

Dit Olivier, je pensais à une chose, s'il pouvait avoir la traversse avant sur laquelle repose le pont plus l'arbre de transmission entre le pont et la boite de transfert pour une bouchée de pain, il pourrait peut être installer le pont R200A sans trop de surprises sur le T2. Je suis prêt à parier que les différences entre les deux chassis sont minime.

Peux tu lui traduire l'idée ? Cela devient trop technique pour moi.

Merci Olivier

A bientot

Thank you very much! This is of great value for me.

I have done Calmini-like upper A arms myself. Here they are:


+ 2 inch TrailMaster lift
+ IronMan trosion bars
+ 31'INTERCO TrXus MT
+ Waiting for these to arrive:


These are for Chevy 1500HD 2000HD 2500HD. Fox #980-02-359-А
Will fit almost without modifications - just bottom mount must be corrected a little.

Here's how my Terrano looks now:

Hey SparkyBg,

You could try to find the cross-member that supports the R200a with the diff....it could be easier to replace that with the diff instead of modifying the diff's bushes. The cross- member might even bolt srait to the T2 frame without modification.

think it over

Thanks for the advice.

The potential donor for the R200A is a Terrano 1 V6 with blown motor here in Sofia, so maybe it will not be a broblem to get the cross member also. As far as I know the T1/Pathfinder frame is the same as the T2 LWB frame. I have a friend here who owns an american Pathfinder with frame changed from T2.

But even if getting the cross member becomer a problem, I am almost sure I will be able to do entire new crossmember myself, just like I did with the upper A arms. One of the right material for this is S355J2 steel of which I've done the A arms.

Ha!!! all this seems quite typical of your home country; of wich i have heard great praise for its mechanical ingenuity in times of great need.......some years ago. (Bogdana's uncle owns a garage in Sofia.........)

[sparkybg]

Haha!! Almost none has changed now.

Another positive thing about getting the front difeerential down is that the CV joints will receive less abuse from a lifted suspenson and will last longer.

I am thinking of radical modifications of steering system also, but still did not came to the design end.
