I've been on a few forms and a few sites. All i wanna know is what rear end set up is good for drag and street with a sticky tire. And what parts are needed.400 to 500hp daily driver

R200V or R200 with aftermarket LSD will be "good." Not knowing how hard you will be launching or what 60' you will be shooting for makes guessing as vague as your question. Then there's the Q45 rear end, or solid axle conversion..

Built engine, Z32 trans, 30R or bigger on meth or e85... We need more details before giving you a "straight answer."

You'll need a VLSD of some sort. The 240 is already geared to get out of the hole as fast as possible. Tein makes a drag suspension that works well.

As far as the rest, you're gonna have to figure out what your goals are, what your budget is etc. Also, there's a HUGE difference between a set up that will make 400 and one that will make 500, assuming you don't want any extra lag and what not.

My engine is done. Turbo plus parts are almost gathered up. Drive shaft installed. Now i need a rear end that will hold up to a lil bit of drag racing. Just a fun lil street and strip car. Im picking up a j30 diff this weekend. In the tech section. The guy says you don't need any mods to put in the j30 diff. My question is. If i want stronger axsles, will j30axsles fit right back to my hubs and what not.

I don't think the J30 axles will be any stronger then the 240sx factory ones.

Check these out.

Same ones sold by enjuku racing,i do believe. It crossed my mind to use those. I was only gonna get the j30 diff so both tires would hook. Plus i have a place that sells them for less than $100. So what do you think about that?

I got a friction type LSD from JGY, installs in the stock open diff and locks it together. Haven't tried it at the track yet, but for the few street runs I have made it works like it should.

Theres a pic of it installed. Its the small block with green springs in the middle to the right of the gear.

the Q45 diff is a R200. the good thing about them is that they use bigger axles with more splines.

The strongest R200 setup would be the Q45 diff with some combo of Q axles and Z32TT axles. Cant remember right now but you can find it by searching. You would have to use Z32TT or Q45 hubs too.
