For the rear ball joint, the front B13 balljoint is what you need. From memory I want to say it's K9820 for Moog. Someone will come in and correct me. **EDIT: it’s K9633 rear, K9820 is the front. ** Get gangster and add an additional shim in the VLSD for a poormans 1.5 LSD. You can also pull rings and pinions from a Pathfinder or Xterra front axle and swap them into the R200. They are 4.6 and 4.9:1 ratios respectively. Lowest you can get is 3.54 up to 3.91 from any of the Q45s with a mix of weird axle combos and hubs from a Z32 TT and Q45. For axles, the cutoff was 95 when the J30 went to OBDII. Early models use the 5x1 bolt axle and subsequently went 2x3. You can swap output shafts between all R200 VLSDs. 2x3 split shafts can be obtained from VLSD S13s and J30s. The remaining RWD IRS Nissans use 5x1 bolt, and large frame RWD cars like the Z32, Q45, and majority of the GT-Rs use 6x1. Nice reuniting with you and your son at the car meet at Journeys today. I'll probably be at Journeys again next week. Take care and again, nice to finally catch up with you after all these years, man.
@Knownworldwide much appreciated you didn't have any issues with the axles bolting in like them being too long? All these years I had z32 axles and couldn't figure out why I kept going through bearings til now
@@ThatAKMechanic Nope the J30 axles have always been just the right length when you install the Z32 diff into the S13. The Z32 axles don’t fit right as you now know. I have been using J30 axles for years now. Not in this 240 but in others back in the day for a long time with zero issues.
@brandontization Well, you learn something new everyday right? That is the saying I suppose. If you poke around on old car forums from 2003-2006 it’s been WELL documented for years and years. So much so that people would rather not even consider making videos about it now since it’s “common knowledge” among 240 owners. However, I know there are younger folks from eighteen even on through late twenties who might not know. So here we are.

@@romeo_alpha0176 Nice to see you too bro! Also some solid Information for anyone reading in the comments.
Glowshift is pretty good and accurate.
If this one fails, guess I’ll give them a try. So far this one is doing ok. I like the big display on it.
yup the tinted 7 color gauge is dope but i personally have the digital version
The upgraded aem x series afr gauge with the new aem fae sensor should work better than the bosche lsu 4.9 sensor. So they say
Well if this Innovative breaks, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the tip!
What's up man do you have the part numbers for those axle? The j30 axles
Hey thanks for watching! Hope you decide to stick around!
I bought the axles from Orielly auto parts.
Driver side is: NI8434
Pass side is: NI8438
