Hi There, Im new to this..
I was hoping someone could tell me what type diff I have. R180? 200 etc.
My car is an 84 notchback ET. Im looking for an LSD option and have read post via a search but am unsure of compatability. Is there a direct fit(Bolt in) option or do need to piece the puzzle with Z31/R31 bits??
Thanks in Advance..
Tony

84 notchback ET

A turbo model? What engine? I\'m not aware of the overseas model naming system apart from RSX, RSX turbo etc.

yeah. What engine? Ususally the 84 CA20e has the H190 solid axle diff. If you have a CA18ET or some other turbo engine (stock engine from the car) you most likely have the R200. I\'m just guessing that it\'ll be a 4.111 ratio, but again I\'m not sure about the Ausi models.

Its an 84 CA18ET 5spd, badged an RL Silvia. I assumed it was not an Ausy model as I thought they were badged Gazelles? NZ new I suspect..

that is the 10mm R200

Yep, 10mm R200. That really narrows down the LSD options. I know Quaife makes one, and any LSD made for the 280ZX Turbo should work as well.
