Coming out of the gas station. didn't even get on the gas, and tore 3 teeth off the ring gear.

Those new heads are making too much power.

So the question is what to replace it with?

I've heard that Datsun turbo differentials are pretty brutish. but I don't know.

The biggest problem is that the rear end is independent, so I can't just go get a big mustang part or something.

About 600 horses now. What to do, what to do?


I know I'm in real trouble, and this is how you tell. . . I'm broken down a block from my house, and I can't stop smiling. It's like it's christmas. This car could eat every penny I make and I'd smile and offer it more. It's like I'm dating Jennifer Aniston.

I have also heard that Datsun diffs are strong. I have a friend putting one in his Locost for that reason.

Are you sure that the diff in it was timed correctly? It seems rather odd that the car ripped teeth off with such "little" applied load. Maybe a new TR6 diff would do it for you. The TR-8 diff would probably fit (they have a TR-6 drivetrain stock, right?) and should be stronger too. I have never looked at one though.

Good luck.

TR7 stock.

I don't know about the tr8s. The biggest problem there is cost and availability.

I also heard that Datsun turbo models came with LSD. That would be helpful.

The only problem is that with 600 hp, there's no such thing as little applied load. I get on the gas too early turning, and I'll spin out. And that's on the street.

Sounds like the car really just needs more power

Okay.. I know I'm no help, but what's new

280z turbo diff should be strong enough. if not get a corvette diff. it's a dana 44 plenty strong for 600hp

Ford 9" you can get any width housing, axles, brake options, ratios, etc. The only way to go with 600hp. A Datsin ain't a gunna cut it.

Nissan R200 or R220 Diff, a Z turbo should also be a good choice

BMW 6 series is independent.
Look around for a 7 series also...the v12 rear end should be able to handle it.

Only some of the R200 diffs on the Datsuns came with LSD. I think it was an anniversary edition. I have one in my 240Z... Pretty freakin' rare. I would not expect one to be waiting at the pickandpull. Check ZCar.Com and other Z sites.

There are 5 of them up on ebay.

Wouldn't say too rare... Lol.

All the 300zx models had them for all years, and they were an option for the rest.

What about a late model Tbird or Lincoln Mark both independent and cheap, and at the pick and pull.

I am really of no help on this subject but I would love to see a picture of your TVR.

Good luck!

Old photo. There's some some fresh paint on it. And beauty rings.

It goes to show I'm of the new video game generation (i'm from 1981) and I hear TVR and I think Project Gotham Racing 3 and the TVR Sagaris, my fav car of its class

sorry about your diff though. The charger(E-class) is an IRS maybe you could use one of those? I dunno, i'm no help

that sagaris is hot secks though
Yours looks kinda like my dads old tr4. nice

You can get the R200 from a skyline, Infiniti M30, S13, 300ZX. popular amongst the ricers/drift guys. You can get a new LSD for one for around $700.

Here is a swap article for a 240Z, it outlines the different diffs
