That looks really sharp indeed Dan/Pip!
Did you end up using the spring platforms?

We've used the 620 spring platforms as pictured. But they are only in it to push it on and off a trailer

Dan did you say the C200 centre is the same as R200 short nose? Just want to know before I start looking up c200 clutch pack centres

I said that an R200 Centre should fit in the C200.......But maybe we should have James check first

I think Yes Martin.
Doesn't mean it I'm right.
Back when I had one of these, I think Google told me that new clutches weren't available new.
TBH, If they do fit, you can get a hoile C200, for around $200. So it's great value for money......

Thanks Fellers, I did a bit of googling as I remember looking into this. Spline count may be the only potential concern.Bartman wrote:I think Yes Martin.

Kaaz in Australia make new clutch pack centres I believe, but $1500+ AUD etc.

I bought new genuine Nismo R200 plates from Nengun Performance a while ago, I think they were only around $200 all up.Bartman wrote:I think Yes Martin.

Bart You say any ratio that a skyline cefrio etc came with? basically what your saying is Crown wheel and pinion is the same as a R200 Short nose diff?
I believe the centers are he same wasn't sure about Crown wheel and pinion.
Any way sorry to clog up your thread with useless info,

That's what I read somewhere. (Internet, so grain of salt with that)
I'm sure someone said that the truck gears were hot property for the sliders. so it stands to reason it would go the other way too.
BUT, as I write this a thought occurred to me. Somethings the centers can be different thicknesses to cater for d\ifferent ratios. So a measure up would be a must.
