I need some clarification on R200 differentials. I am in the process of collecting parts to convert my 1981 280zxt from auto to a 5 speed. The plan was to also convert the 3.54 diff to a 3.9 diff using the same half shafts.
When I recently purchased an R200 from what I was told was a 1982 5 speed 280zxt. I innocently assumed that all 280zx R200's were the same other than the gearing and the drive shaft flange and thought this would be an easy bolt on.
However, this weekend I was under my car and noticed that my 3.54 does not have the four bolt half shaft flanges like the 3.9 diff I purchased. Are these the CV halfshafts that I have heard mention of ?? My 1981 FSM turbo supplement shows that the half shaft ends on my car are inserted into the differential rather than bolted onto flanges. What are my options??
Thanks for the help,
Phil
