Xander_42 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Awesome car. I must say, I have never, until now, seen a 210, and gone: DAMN! I want that! But hey, there's a first time for everything. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 how did yu dropher? what did yu do im tryying to drop my 210 Quote Link to comment
Dave7 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Very cool. Looks like it fits well. What are you using for a rear end? I've heard the stock isn't up to more than stock power. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Very cool. Looks like it fits well. What are you using for a rear end? I've heard the stock isn't up to more than stock power. The stock diff is good up to 200 Lb-FT of torque. Quote Link to comment
deucedime Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 stock rear-end with lsd from truck works well, pn the lowering side, took 280zx struts,240sx rotors,and coilover sleeves,and shock mounted coilovers in the rear. (intense slammage) Quote Link to comment
Dave7 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Very nice. Good to know the stock rear will take a little extra power! Quote Link to comment

(intense slammage) which truck would you take it off of? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 which truck would you take it off of? A good question. The stock rear end is an H-150. No trucks use this. The H-150 is only good for 125ft lb of torque. The H-165 is good for just over 200 ft. lb. They can be found in the 610 goon and all 710s, A10s, S10s and early S110s. No LSD though. The first truck LSD option was in the D-21 with an H-190.Housing and axles would need shortening and conversion to 4 bolt. Quote Link to comment
primo74620 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 just a couple more!!!! Man!!!!! I want some rims just like that on my 620. Very Nice!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 so the H-165 would be my best bet. and it can handle a stock KA with no problem. but is it basicaly a bolt in? and since its not LSD you can just weld it right? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 If it was a bolt in everyone would have it. :D Welding is a dodgy maneuver for a street car. A locked diff will add understeer entering a corner and can unpredictably switch to major oversteer with no warning. Even worse in wet or poor traction conditions. A welded or locked diff is only good for going straight ahead like drag racing. It is favored by 'drifters' because it causes oversteer..... get it? The H-165 rears will likely be wider than your 210. Perhaps a different back spacing set of rims on the back? Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 ok, but did you say the stock rear end i have is a H-145? and it wont handle a stock N/A KA? Quote Link to comment

Also a super quick way to kill wheel bearings and control arm bushings from low speed turning. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 That thing looks so tough! That KA looks like it was made for the 210. Was it a bitch fabbing it in there? Making me want to find a 210 now.:cool: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Also a super quick way to kill wheel bearings and control arm bushings from low speed turning. What's this "low speed turning" you speak of? :P Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 What's this "low speed turning" you speak of? :P Gas stations. LOL smooth concrete and sticky tires in gas stations kill bearings and rear end bushings... trust me I have a friend with a 240sx with a welded diff... he thinks its the best thing in the world for a street car.

BURLEIGH Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey Guys, I am new to this forum. I actually installed the motor and tranny into this car and have now aquired it from duecedime. (I actually have his 510 too so maybe I should take his screen name too... LOL!) Anyway, I'll get some pics of the swap posted up when I get my old phone back from the guy who is borrowing it as it has most of the pics on it... I can try and answer any other questions you may have though. Heres what I know: The motor went in with only minor modifications to the engine mount towers. I used the stock KA mounts for both the engine and tranny. I also used the stock KA tranny crossmember, but had to cut one end of it off and modify it slightly. for the driveshaft I used the yokes from a 280ZX driveshaft and just had one built the right length. I had to cut the "splash gaurd" off the tranny yoke though... I clearanced the bell housing braces on the bottom of the block to clear the steering linkage slightly, but will have to cut a little more out as it hits whenever you turn the wheel hard. The hole in the tranny tunnel for the shifter had to be cut out about 4" as the SX tranny is longer than the stock 5speed. Luckily the Ebrake handle uses a cable instead of linkage and can easily me move back out of the way. I may have to shorten the handle slightly, but don't know just yet. I'm sure there were a few other minor things, but can't remeber off the top of my head. It's been a few months... As for the suspension, I believe it is mostly stock at this point. Can't remeber if he cut the springs or used some from something else... Everything other than the srpings is bone stock at this point though. I think a few of the pics above are with no springs at all... I had to unbolt the front sway bar and will have to lower it some or find one from something else that will clear the engine. The rear diff is bone stock right now. not sure if it's going to hold up, but I plan on having fun finding out!!! I do plan to modify/upgrage the suspension after I get it rolling, but want to focus on making it a driver right now. I'll be doing some serious research, but plan to build a coil over set up of some sort... I'll keep you posted! Let me know if you guys have any specific questions and I'll do my best to get an answer. Thanks! Richard Quote Link to comment
