Alphabet Soup for the No0b: Lingo for 120y

[guyster]

Now that I am trying to source parts for my new '75 120y RHD, I'm getting a bit confused in the designations. Please feel free to answer any or all of my questions and I appreciate your help!

1. For suspension parts (sway bars, strut tower brace, springs, coil-overs, in particular), do I order as if I owned a U.S. B-210, B-310? (I understand I can upgrade to a 280zx set up, but looking to keep it simple and original as possible).
2. Do I have the SAME engine as the U.S. Datsun 1200 or a B-210 with an A12? Are they the same?
3. For sourcing wheels: Is my wheel lug measurement the same as a 1200 or B-210? What size wheel / tire combo would you recommend?

If I should be in another part of the forum or a different website than Ratsun, please let me know.

 

Sorta embarrassed to ask these questions, but WTH, I'm old enough to know when I need help!

Suspension is not the same as the US B210. Do you have front disk or drums?

 

A12 was redesigned for the B210. Similar to 210 A12

 

Lugs are the same.

 

Hit up datsun1200 wiki for the details.

You should be at http://datsun1200.com, where we know about 120Ys. The are substantially different from USA/Canada versions of the B210

Pretty sure most everything but the body was closer to the 1200 than the b210

The car is being shipped presently, so I don't know yet.

Front disc brakes.

GGZILLA...  are these going to be B210 brakes or of the 1200 style discs?. 

 

Where as you have issues running aftermarket wheels with out spacers.  Before he runs out and buys some wheels
