any one here stripped there ring and pinion in there r200 rear end?

[SullivanRacing06]

i just took apart my rear end that came apart on me on the dyno and come to see metal shavigns every where, the pinion is smoother then a strippers a$$, and the ring gear has more teeth missing then are intact

has this happened to anyone on here before? any input would be helpful!

are there any companys that sell a hardened ring n pinion set for the r200 housing?

[S13Joe]

metal shavings? didnt you just post a thread about blowing your vlsd?

[motoman399]

i havent had it happen on the r200 but i have had it happen on a dana 30 and a toyota rear end. it probably just had too much of a beating on it. they can only take it for so long. your cheapest option would be to probably buy a open diff from someone and just swap in your vlsd. thats what i would do anyways

[SullivanRacing06]

yea, just pulled it apart and the diff that was in the car has clutch packs, no sealed unit, no open diff, i bought the diff as a r200, vlsd 2.90 ration, this is the first time ive taken the unit apart so i could install the kaaz and wow. not using this housing, pinion bearings seized and the outter bearign housings spun

[SullivanRacing06]

i have a kaaz 2 way sitting on my box, thats why i took apart the vlsd unit to install it, ive got a stock open welded diff in there now, wanted to install the kaaz tonight but ill wait till tomm to pull the welded one apart to install the kaaz

[motoman399]

and you wanted to ship me your clutch type.... RIGHT??

lol make a offer and i just mite, its a s15 diff

How much power is your car making? Cuz I have seen tons of 300+tq s chassis drift cars that are fine and if I remember right Luke aka Blu808 made over 500hp with an LSX on an R200.

538 whp

[!Zar!]

Yeah, Luke is beating his diff to death and it still hasn't given out.

Did you recently remove your diff from the pumpkin?

How is the driveability with the welded diff?

[!Zar!]

It's fine if you don't suck at driving and have nice tires.

[ZOMG.SR20]

yea but the nice tires dont last so long with a welded sadly

[driftaholic]

it's called a differential because it allows the wheels to turn at different speeds.why is this required? because they're traveling different diameter circles, so the outside tire has to keep up with the inside tire because it has more distance to cover in the same amount of time.

here's the fun partas the circle gets wider, the difference between the two paths gets smaller, until a point where the two wheel speeds are nearly identical. that is why welded diffs make the tires chirp in u turns and parking lots, but not in any kind of real driving.

in u turns and parking lots, you're not putting nearly enough pressure on the tires to wear them out by chirping.

in normal driving, you're pretty close to the point where the tire speeds would be very similar anyway, so tire wear is minimal.

the conclusion:tires do wear faster, but not nearly as fast and some people have you believe.you're more likely to wear them out with camber wear before the welded diff does them in.

and if you're using the car for drifting, you're going to wear out the tires in less than a day anyway, so who cares?

Perhaps your had pinion play, maybe it fell out of the torque specs. Just an fyi the Q45 diff is much beefier and the 13 tooth pinion make the S / J chassis pinions look much smaller.

I wish I took pics. My diff is a Q45 housing with a 240 welded open end pressed in using the 3.69 ring gear
