Hello nicoclub, this is my first posting so bear with me. The r200 diff in the na 2+2 z32 has a 4.08 ratio which I need to bolt up a 350z driveshaft; I will likely get one of these machined as the square spacing pattern does not line up. Would anyone else be interested in purchasing one of these plates? Obviously they are going to be balanced and likely made by the local technical college.

2003 350z with the 6 speed comes with a 2.5" square bolt pattern and the r200 front flange has a 2" square bolt pattern. It can be aligned/ attached via an adapter plate with 8 bolt holes thus saving the cost of custom driveshafts.

The biggest thing would have to also be length as well. Between the 5 speed/6speed, R200, r230, 2+0, 2+2. There are way too many variations to say one would fit all.

If you are trying to get the r200 in the 350z, might take too much custom work. If you are trying to get the 6 speed in the 300zx, the original 5 speed is stronger(some say and proven), better synchros in the 5 speed, and gear ration with the 3.69 or 4.08 rear ends the Z32 already has.
