stovanovich Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I know there's plenty of separate threads out there about certain R50 parts that people have fitted / modified to fit into their WD21 but as my mate has just acquired a whole R50 for parts i thought it would be a good idea to start a consolidated thread on what can be changed over. (interior & exterior parts etc)So if anyone can throw some suggestions out there, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Only ones that come to mind are the engine/transmission/transfer cases, and that the r50 console looks good in an WD21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've done the console swap already and I will be swapping the turbo off it too (Td27) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Not a whole lot.WD22 parts on the other hand... my buddy and I sat down one day and just looked at/measured parts between his Xterra and my Pathfinder. Most parts are really close if not the same... IIRC Everything below the body (except the leafs, parking brake and the cam-blot UCA's) are nearly an identical design...

stovanovich Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I love Xterras after seeing them up close when I was in Canada a few months back but we don't get them over here in NZ. Although, I wonder how many parts off the D22 Hardbody/Navara would fit then? (Im getting off track now though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 For what it's worth, the rear wiper arm is interchangeable from R50 to WD21. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 For what it's worth, the rear wiper arm is interchangeable from R50 to WD21. Well I'll be sure to change that over then! What about CVs & front diff? R200 I imagine? My front end is R180 (Diesel model WD21s didn't get the R200 until 94 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My front end is R180 (Diesel model WD21s didn't get the R200 until 94 ) The R50 Front diff carrier and gears will not fit any any vehicle other than an R50. Its mounting points are different and its gears are reverse cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Na I'm talking like the whole diff housing & axles. Guys over here swap them out of V6 WD21s and put them in place of the R180s that come out in our Diesels but I wonder how different the entire R50 system would be to swap. Should arrive on the transporter tomorrow so I'm sure I'll soon find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some fab skills you might make it work but it is not a direct fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 So what ratio is in your R180 front diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 So what ratio is in your R180 front diff? HG46= r180 front, H233B rear. 4.6 ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 HG46= r180 front, H233B rear. 4.6 ratio So what are your plans for that R180 if you find an R200? I would like to see pictures of it and possibly may need more after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Transplant the whole Diff, CVs, Axles & Knuckles over. Want to modify a C200 Clutchpack LSD into it too, still rocking the R180 for now but gotta have a plan lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I meant the old r180 if/when you are done with it...I have a project that involves an R180... Edited August 21, 2015 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing pics of that R180 also. My impression is that it's the same width and bolting/mounting as your R200, and I thought it used the same CVs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I meant the old r180 if/when you are done with it... I have a project that involves an R180... Probably sell it, you're welcome to it but bear in mind I'm on the other side of the ocean I wouldn't mind seeing pics of that R180 also. My impression is that it's the same width and bolting/mounting as your R200, and I thought it used the same CVs? Yep the WD21 equivalent all bolts up the same. CVs are a 27 spline 6 bolt whereas the R200 Cvs are 28 spline 5 bolt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVs are a 27 spline 6 bolt whereas the R200 Cvs are 28 spline 5 bolt though Perfect, that's what I was hoping for clarification on. Picking up an R200 tomorrow and noticed it has a 5-bolt star pattern. The newer R200 CVs are also 6 bolt, 28 spline...and judging by a pic I saw, they have the same bolt pattern as the R180, 3 sets of 2 bolts? My guess is that the side flanges between R200s are interchangeable...guess this is something I'll find out. Is this what it looks like, noting the bolted shaft tube? Also, I didn't think the R180 came with the H233B...I thought it was R180/C200 and R200/H233B combos. This was true for most Nissan truck/SUVs here. Does your rear diff have a removable 8-bolt cover?

MY1PATH Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Curiosity piqued... I have a R180 rear diff from a Z that will be becoming a front diff... It will be off center just like the pathfinder It just doesn't have an extension tube on it (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
