Armada R230 in S14 chassis

Post by roadracer4life »

Hey guys I am about to swap to an V160 transmission in my 2JZ swaped S14 and need a higher gear ratio than my q45 3.54:1 offers.. I have found out that the Armada or V8 Pathfinder both have a 2.94 final drive and come in a R230 rear end.. Does anyone know if it will bolt into the back of an S14 chassis or what it would take to put an R230 in the rear of one.. I know the q45 diff is some sort of a hybrid r200-230 and has the 5 bolt output flanges.. Anyone with some experiance with this would be apreciated..

Q45 is a r200 with 6 bolt flanges. No, a r230 will not bolt into a s14.

The Diff. It's not going to be. Mounts are Diff. the Diff it self is Physically Bigger, Your gonna have to mod the sub-frame.
