Ranman72 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 went to put the 1200 driveshaft in and the rear flange was to small for the third member flange the housing looked to be changed to a 150 and should have had a 2mm spacer to line things up but didnt so we put a 1200 145 third member in then went to replace the wheel cylinders and they were the wrong ones a little more research and found out we have a 77/78 b210 150 diff and housing so we need to re install the 150 third member and re order brakes and wheel cylinders got new zx front wheel bearings and got the rear plastics installed Jackie did some of the plastics with our friend Camerons help will add some pics sunday 1 Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Are the lug nut holes on those wheels messed up? I had a set I painted identically to those ones, and they went to the keeper. I got them from a S13 autocrosser, but he used acorn nuts. Royally messed up the holes. I took my dremel and tried to make the holes round again. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 They all seem to be fine, and spin true Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 That is the 3.7 rear end. Will make the 1200 accelerate slow. I like 4.11s. 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 well it appears the paint is holding up well. They always spun fine for me. Just a few of the lug nuts had an "interference" fit to their holes. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 my friend Cody came and helped me both days this weekend THANKS CODY we had many obstacles first it seemed someone had put a h150 diff into a 1200 housing without the 2mm spacer so we put a 145 pumpkin into the housing when I went to install the new wheel cylinders they were not the right ones I thought rock auto sent me the wrong ones but further observation showed the rear end was a 78 b210 h150 so the wheel cylinders and brakes I bought wont fit my friend Grayson donated a b210 drive shaft so I had the correct flange and input shaft THANKS GRAYSON we bought new correct wheel cylinders and brake shoes and all is good now Cody installed new zx wheel bearings/ seals/ rotors and brake pads I did a quick tape measure alignment cuz it was all jacked up STILL NEEDS A GOOD ALIGNMENT AND SOME NEW FRONT END PARTS car runs all gears are good rear end sounds good friggin water pump is leaking though so a new one was ordered we installed studs into the b210 housing h150 diff is 3.70 gear h145 was 3.90 this clutch line fitting was hard to get to so custom wrench gear oil installed Thanks Cody dirty calipers new rotors and bump steer spacers looking good finally she runs good click the last pic for a video the factory tach works but speedo is jacked if the 370 is to much gear I will swap it out later or go bigger motor :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment
