Message	From what I understood the NA diff is an R200 while the TT's got the R230. Besides the size of the gear, I believe the R230 is a 'beefier' differential. I think the S30 guys have a leg up on us when it comes to differentials. The R160, R180 and R200 have found themselves in not only Datsun/Nissan vehicles, but also Subaru's. Actually, I may be wrong but I believe some STi's use an R160 rear diff. Point is the R230 is a larger and I believe strong differential. Here's a list of the R series differentials: Differential Listing The list is pretty good. They could use more info on the R230 and R200 diffs.....junkyard project anyone? Also I believe some early 240Z's had R160 diffs. "The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song; it's rolling, roaring automotive art. There is no color that doesn't suit it. There is no mood-lifting chemical substance it can't replace." - Automobile Magazine
