C200 / backplated rear axle required

[stinka]

How do I find out my diff ratio ?

Read that u put a chalk line on the prop shaft, then turn the wheel one full rotation and count how many turns the prop does ?

No code on vin plate unless I missed it ?

How do I figure out my gear ratio?
Put a jack under the diff and get both wheels under the ground. Draw a chalk line on the tires where they would contact the ground. Rotate BOTH tires by hand at the same speed one exact revolution while counting revolutions of he driveshaft. Just under 4 1/2 turns will indicate the 4.375:1 gears. Just a bit over 4 1/2 turns would indicate 4.625:1 or 4.636:1 gearing. If you have a late model, just a tick under 5 turns of the DS would indicate 4.90 gears.

Can anyone tell me the possible ratios for the c200 terrano axles ?

The info in the workshop download i got linked from this site is for the early non backplate axles

Sorry mate, seems you've exposed a chink in the Terrano massive's knowledge base

 

[stinka]

Aye, lol

I WANT MY TENNER BACK :lol

Aye, lol

I WANT MY TENNER BACK :lol

No hope.

I was kidding lol

Would be nice if someone can point me in the right direction tho

Try breakers in Wales think they r on ebay 2 they r called Nissan 1st

cnfabs was breaking a 99 plate one

why not rotate the wheels and count how many times the prop turns?

 

[solarman216]

In the lack of any other info remove the back plate and count the teeth on the pinion & crown wheel, divide CW by Pinion and you have the ratio, simple, Rick

 

[extreme-4x4]

did you buy this private sale or from a dealer. if its not working and its a dealer then why are you putting your hands in your pocket ?

 

[stinka]

Trade sale of course.

Tbh I'd bet many late 100k c200 axle terranos are the same, how many check them or know what they are looking for ?

I thought mine was working until I tested it properly

Can u see the pinion mate ?

 

[stinka]

The answer to that would be no

i havnt checked mine, and little kick out in the wet. but it certainly feels like its working on hairpins .

this clutch in the dif are these like cork friction plates or what ?
could they just be still clogged with wrong oil. would it take time like everyone suggests to work proper oil into them

[FONT=Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]The final drive ratio data I have for the Terrano diesels is:
4.63:1 for the 2.7L
4.083:1 for the 3.0L[/FONT]

No they are metallic friction plates like a motorcycle clutch. LSD oil is slippyer than normal diff oil. This is why when you put the wrong oil in its noisy as the clutches don't slip and u get tail slidey action in the wet, due to this increased friction the clutches then wear out quickly as they are constantly forced to move against each other with reduced lube.

LSD's typically have a life of ~100k miles with good fluid changes, so if ur used terrano has had some numpty garage putting the wrong stuff in or it's not been changed regularly, it will be fooked

Also, I can donut mine round on Tarmac and leave 2 rubber marks, IE both wheels are spinning not just the inside, I can pop the clutch exiting a roundabout on the power and get a nice tail slide. You think from this the diff was fine as usually this kind of behaviour would cause the inside wheel to spin if the LSD was borked, but it still tail happy as my old BMW with LSD.

So unless u are checking it properly and jacking one back wheel up under the shocker mount in neutral, u won't know
