do you know of compatible differentials, or ones than can be fitted onto a12 powered b310s?

 

If you mean just the third member (middle bit where the gears are), then nothing.   :rofl:

 

If you mean the whole rear axle assembly, 80-83 200SX. It's bigger, beefier, and a tiny bit wider, but basically bolts right in.  :thumbup:

another question if i may please, i am looking for front a rear windscreen seals and on ebay i found some, but there is written that they are for 140y b310. These ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-SUNNY-140Y-B310-SEDAN-4-DOORS-WINDSHIELD-WEATHERSTRIP-RUBBER-SEAL-REAR-/221369745805?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item338aaa418d&vxp=mtr.

 

 

Is there any differences between the wind screen of an 140y and 120y (since i got an a12 in it)?

If i buy them will they fit on my b310?

Hi guys ever heard of a b310 with an l16?

 

Earlier cars came with L-series engines as a Sunny Excellent (B110/B210), but I don't think the B310 ever came that way. Would be easy enough to do, though?

 

Assuming you can find a 77-79 510, that crossmember should fit your car and allow an L-series to be a bolt-in.  :thumbup:

Hi guys, i went there and done it haha, i lowered the red sunny a fair bit and noticed that the front shocks are compressed. I need to shirten the struts :@. Here is the question.....what shock inserts do you recommend? How much shorter do i need to cut the strut tube? Thank guys

 

I believe the common trick is using Mk1 VW Golf/Jetta inserts? Also heard of using AW11 (first-gen) Toyota MR2 inserts.

1983 VW Golf front insert: 

 

Body length - 12.750"

Total extended length - 20.125"

Total compressed length - 14.125"

Total travel - 6.000" 

 

 

 

1988 Toyota MR2 front insert:

 

Body length - 14.500"

Total extended length - 22.125"

Total compressed length - 15.750"

Total travel - 6.375"

 

 

 

1988 Toyota MR2 rear insert:

 

Body length - 13.500"

Total extended length - 21.125"

Total compressed length - 14.250"

Total travel - 6.875"

 

 

 

For comparison, B310 insert:

 

Body length - 17.375"

Total extended length - 24.250"

Total compressed length - 17.875"

Total travel - 6.375"

 

 

Sounds like the MR2 front is good for a mild lowering, the MR2 rear for a more moderate slam, and the VW for a mega slam.   B)

I am testing lowering on my red sunny as my plan is to test mods on the red first, it being my dauly and the silvr being the actual project car
