kyteler Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If they're both R180 you should be able to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's only the rear covers that are different from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 just about ready to remove the lsd nugget. struck 1 problem... i cannot get the front nut off that is up by the driveshaft flange? do i need to undo that? i have axles out and the 4 retaining bolts too but still the nugget will not budge.

flyingbrick Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ayeeeeeeeee. You should be able to see how it goes together. Is there a cover to remove? Then bearing caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Are you sure it's just not the rear covers that are different I'm sure you just swap them over and it'll bolt in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 umm I don't want to be a dick but have you taken out the half shafts completely ? got a picture to throw up. some times they need some pry bar action to get it to come free. but it shouldn't bee to difficult to get out and no you shouldn't need to undo the pinion nut to get the center out.

Mitch.W Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 got everything apart. Yeah just needed some pry bar action to get the core out. In the end he ended up selling me a r200 s13 centre and he had it listed as a r180. so annoying but ohwell.. i will keep the hunt on. Would any r180 lsd centre fit? say like a subaru r180?

Hemi Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There are bluebird ones , but they has asymetric half shafts . so you can run standard half shafts in them but it wont engage the viscous centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Bluebird ones are predominantly R160 aren't they, Hemi? As are a lot of pants Subarus, it's not until you get into the better equipped gubbins that you start rolling R180's, R200's and R230's.

Mitch.W Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 i don't need a bluebird one. This diff is for my s14... looking at upgrading to r200 but this car is never going to need that upgrade power wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
