H190 Swap

[afracer]

I just did this swap, total time was about 2 hours by myself. Easiest swap ever, just requires driveshaft trim and +20-30 mm positive offset wheels. Axle is from an 82 200sx, H190 with disk brakes. Car is an 82 B310 wagon. I also have a LSD in it I picked up from Japan, which uses a 240sx driveshaft flange. If stickingwith the stock 200sx diff/gears, it reuses the smaller B310 driveshaft flange, but the shaft still needs shortening regardless. I literally unbolted the old and bolted in the new. Only problem I have is the 200sx Addco sway bar mounts interfere with some things so have to figure that part out yet. Also will be switching to a 280zx master cylinder to remove the residual pressure valve in the oem drum brake master cylinder and matchup with the 280zx front brakes I've already got. If you don't switch master cylinders, I'm pretty sure you can remove the valve from it.

 

I bought this diff 4 years ago in Ellensburg Washington, it was NOT complete and in pretty bad looking shape, but low miles at least. I fully rebuilt it; everything is new except the axles and housing so hopefully it'll be alive a long time.

Very cool.

Indeed. I like when parts and assembles can be swapped. I'd like an H-190 for my 710. I test fit an early H-165 200sx axle and perfect length so it's assumed that the later H-190 assembly is the same width. Just have to put leaf springs on it.
