Yup, just fitted one in mine recently and running a sr20det .
Had R160 from a leone In It when i got it and that took a fair hammering at the track before poped so thinking the r180 should do alright.

Oh. So there's no bolt in upgrade with out messing with driveshaft and half shafts ? Is the half shaft mods the same for r180 and r200? If there's a similar amount of wrk involved I may aswell go r200

Those are a shortnose diff. So there would be considerable modification to your rear subframe.

The R180 my mate has is the Nissan one, bolts straight in and uses the standard half shafts.
