I just reread my other post and its a bit misleading. The manual and LSD 350z have different length stubshafts, not half shafts which changes the carrier a bit. Maybe kevinthefro can illuminate a little bit since he has swapped his R200 for one from a G35. The 350z Auto w/o LSD carriers should be di...
From my searching the 350z Auto w/o LSD has equal length stubshafts. It would be great to find the technical drawings from the R51 R200 as it would answer a lot of these questions. The link below is the tech specs for the Quaife QDF10L, which I believe will work for V6 R51. I would email these tech ...
There are a couple threads floating around here about the R200 in the R51. The R200 and C200k are similar except the R200 uses c clips so not a direct swap. SMJ, as usual, is right about the Frontier/X diff w/ elocker. Its the M226 which is totally different. One forum member was able to use a C200k...

Or its the rear timing chain cover leak and RP added some new life to the seal and bought me a little more ti...
Thanks smj. I park it facing down hill and there is little to no noise and the pressure builds quickly. If I park it facing up hill pressure takes quite a bit longer and its quite noisy. Really strange to me but I'll just keep parking it facing down hill until some other symptom arises as oil pressu...
That is actually my greatest fear considering I just had it stripped all the way down for the timing chain repair. I really have no desire to do that again.
I'll pull the valve cover this weekend and peek around a bit then monitor from there.
