For Sale -240Z R180 Diff assembly SOLD!

[ZED660]

FOR SALE -  R180 3.9 open K series diff with bolt in half shafts, moustache bar and tailshaft.  This stuff has been sitting in my garage for quite a few years now and it is time to make some space.  The assembly is as I pulled it out of a 240 I bought back in 2000 (for $2500!!).  The moustache bar has had the original rubber bushes removed and I haven't seen a tailshaft like this one (it was a track car). Looking for $750 or thereabouts.

* Located south of Sydney near Jannali

Hi mate, pm sent

Driveshaft looks like the early flange style, perhaps modified to accept a uni joint for a later box swap?

Thanks Geoff!

 

And thanks for the info gav, that's pretty much what I had hoped..

I am not sure, it could have come like that. My 72 240z (Build date Dec 71) had a unique gearbox mount and was delivered with a 71A box, but had a later 72+ style console.

I've seen option boxes also with the flange attachment (but of the 71B style). So it may be a transitional item for a short period of time, like my 72 gearbox mount.

I have a 71A driveshaft in the garage if you want photos for comparison or measurements?

My bitsa parts car had a similar shaft that also looks like a hybrid.

The assembly came out of a 71 model but it was a while ago and my 'old timers' brain can't recall what type of gearbox was in there.  Mine looks like a reverse of yours Roger with the spline bit at the gearbox end.

total length of the 71A driveshaft would be awesome Gav, i am trying to pull together all the bits to replace my 71A with a B or something while also moving the diff backwards.. i don't have access to a lift to be able to measure the difference between my current driveshaft and this one.. so that would help me

Hi Kent,

Not sure if this helps, but here are a couple of pics of my (your) one with a tape alongside to maybe compare with what Gav finds.
