Isn't the number the diameter of the crown wheel, ie R200 = 200mm?  The 
R230 (which are monsters and weigh like 50kg) would be a Nissan 9"!

I think the newer ones are made by Fuji Heavy Industries (which is 
Subaru's parent company) but older ones I don't know.  A lot of Subaru's 
have R160 LSD diffs including WRX's.

There's two types of R200 LSD's, short and long, and only one type fits 
into 1600's.  One day I'll get around to finding out if you can use the 
Skyline/Silvia LSD centres in an older open R200, since I have one that 
I pulled out of a 260Z (usually they come with R180's so that one wasn't 
original)

Cheers,
