My Skylines rear diff. is leaking and I was planning on buying the Greedy diff. cover but it says it only works if I had a R200 LSD. Now I know I probably sound stupid but I don't know what the R200 diff. is. Does it come in the GTR R32 Skylines have one in it or what are they?

R200 is a series of differentials nissan has used for YEARS

i am relatively certain the R32 has a R200 diff but not 100%, so wait for more verification

why change?iirc the gt-r rear cover already holds more oil than the std r200 rear cover and even then off the top of my head the gtr uses a r230.
