Gday,
Figured i should put this install on here aswell.(cut and pasted from when i put it up on the other forums hence the incorrect tense..)
Seeing as the R180 front diff is Pi$$ weak and cant take a locker, im putting the R200 front diff in it out of a V6 nav. Thanks to dave for putting in the research and Kickars2 for finding one with a 4.3 ratio. now im trying to put it in!.
The R200
Pulled the old diff out without much hassle, Just dropped both crossmembers and it came out nicely. Once it was out and apon closer inspection of differences...
The flanges off the diff where the CVs bolt onto have different bolt patterns(dave has told me not all of them have the different stud pattern) The other main difference is that the R200 is 20mm shorter from left to right then the R180. I tried swapping the diff axle shafts put they have a different spline count(R200 is nice and beefy) And the flanges are not swappable as they are part of the axle.
