Ok,
I think I have the later 280b transmission in my 1978 280z but I'm not positive. This is the tranny that is found in the 81-83 280zx's.
I also think I have a stock differential which would be 3.54.
I want a lower gear ratio so I"m looking for a differential to install.
I have thought about the 4.11 differential from a 1985 200SX Turbo since I have heard that they drop in pretty easily. I know the half shafts from a R200 will bolt up but my 78 has a R180 right? Is this still an easy swap? What am I losing since I think this differential is not a LSD?
What if I wanted a 4.38 LSD differential? Where could I get one of those and what are the complications of installing one in my z?
I have also heard that the 3.90 from a 87-89 300zx turbo is a good swap but don't I need(want) a lower gear ratio to pair up with this tranny?
Anybody been here before that could share some info?
Thanks
Craig
