Well, I just got back from visiting a salvage yard.

So I needed a drivers side inner fender shield because the previous owner decided that by cutting it up it would get more air to the engine. Since I just put in my cold air intake I don't want water to be sucked up into my engine. I was also able to find a 5 speed transmission for $250 with a 90 day warranty, and I found a 300zx LSD for $250.

I thought it was a fairly good price, although I need to pick up the other parts aswell.

Mmmmmmm five speed.

[biggie]

Too me the transmission seems high. Not seen to many 300z diffs in 240s. But good for searching around junkyard, that's always fun.

Which 300zx lsd did you get? I hear some horror stories about folks who dont get the proper parts...

Good price on the diff, bad price on the transmission. I pay exactly half here.

[kane2g]

only Z32 NA diff will work

[Tulsa_S-13]

Yes, I already know about the different gearing on the 300zx TT and yes I know I need different output shafts.

[Dattebayo]

Wrong! You can make a R180 diffy off a Z31 work for your 240 if you want to.

Its a secret closely guarded by us oompaloompas though. You must say the secret word to unlock the mystery...

[Tulsa_S-13]

Is the secret word "Huh?". Because I haven't picked up the differential yet so I was thinking of going with the 95'-96' J30 LSD. Seeing how it's practically a bolt-on deal.

People with questions about installing an LSD can refer to

Yeah I have to dig it up, next post I promise...As for the J30 diff, I like it, but I think a Z32 N/A diff would be better. The gear ratio kinda kills the accelleration IMO because I cant feel the same push into my seat I used to feel before it...

[Dattebayo]

You can take the clutch type internals out of a z31 300zx turbo years 84-87 and put them inside your open differential R200 housing. Its a little different than a viscous setup but around here different is good!

Didn't know Z31 came with R180 diff, thought they all had R200 and the later Z31 turbos had clutch type LSD.

[Dattebayo]

Yeah, a slip off my toung or keyboard if you will. R200 for sure.

Sarcasm much? I am truly sorry.
