R200 diff assembly question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello guys,

I m in the process of changing the 2 bearings in the pinion in my r200 diff so i hopefully stop a whinning sound i have only on deceleration.

My problem is that by trying to torque the pinion nut any number more than 60-70nm it gets very stiff and doesnt turn at all! The manual says 190 to 290nm for this nut !

I really dont understand why since the bearings (Koyo) i got where the same part number and the pinion shims where put back as they where before.

Any suggestions ?
