Mate how hard are you driving your D22 to blow it twice?

Or the rough driving of the owner !!!

I'll assume you have a ZD30 diesel which is fitted with the R180a front diff. If you really want to keep driving like you are now, you can try fitting an R200a front diff from a pathfinder/V6 Navara. Refer to joshy's buildup thread on 4wdaction for a bit of information on the process.

As Dion said go for the R200A from a VG30E powered Series 1 D22.

Same ratio as the ZD30 ratio's aswell.

The VG33E front diff housing can be used but the ratio is 4.636 and you need 4.375.

What would be the ratio on my 2008 rear diff? Comp plate states CA39.

 

[Dave]

3.9 to 1.

Not sure if Fuji heavy industries made a 3.9 in the R200A.

CA stands for C200, not sure what the A stands for.

According to this site C200 and R200A centres are the same part number and will interchange.

Are all YD25 4x4 Navaras 3.9? I'm surprised by that information. I thought 3.9s only came in 4x2 Navaras and auto petrol Patrols.

Your engine must just tick over at highway speeds. Lucky bugger

As others have said, the r200 will fit with slight modification of cv's(you may/maynot need to).
But what are you doing to blow the diffs? what size tyres?
I had 35's on mine with the standard front diff and didnt blow one.. have a look at my build up to see the sort of stuff i wheel.

no. if i remeber rightly the first yd25 D22's used the old diff ratios. but then they went to the lower diffs, probably due to problems with people trying to take off with such a gutless engine

If you go to a stronger diff, you'll probably just start busting CV's, their usually the weakest link.

Either do a Joshy, or choosing a different vehicle may be the best option in the long run.

Like a used Leopard AS1 tank?

Thought of calling a wreckers????? At $1200 a pop I would be! I've seen R180a's on ebay for $250.00 Thats nearly 5 BANGS worth!!!!

Gota be more to the story then that. how old was the diff, maybe the backlash wasnt set right. i didnt take it easy and didnt break one..

 

[joshy]

i picked up a recond r200 for less then that. i wouldnt bother with genuine
