dtauman Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 not sure wat u mean jdm stanza ?????? and what rear end would hook this up?????? Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 not sure wat u mean jdm stanza ?????? and what rear end would hook this up?????? oh he's just talking about the 2nd gen. 510 like you got was called a stanza in other countries afa rearends, the h190 is pretty strong. just make it a locker if you're dragracing, and if it breaks, put in an early supra lsd axle Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 the 20b in my 78 hatch pulled the yoke out of the rearend while doing a burn out those rearend's are not that strong Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The rear ends are fine. No open rear end, even a R-200 will survive long doing one wheel tire fires. The tire, and side gear that is spinning at 50 MPH is forcing the two pinion mate gears (spiders) to turn the equivalent of 100 MPH and transmit all the torque and hp the engine is making. This they never were designed to do. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm not sure what LSD you're going to be able to find in order to call that a drift car, but good luck! I hope you dont' wreck it. :) Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 jdm stanza overseas that car is not known as a 510 as burabuda stated there are slight cosmetic differences that make all the difference Quote Link to comment
dtauman Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 cool deal guys thanks for the info keep it comin. does anyone think that a 510 wagon rear end fit?? and does anyone kno if the suspension can be changed to 280zx? like you can on the pl510's???????????????? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think the later 280zx struts fit but the '78 brakes are already better than the old PL. If you mean the old 510 wagon, I think it's a couple of inches wider (not sure) it is heavier H-190 vs, your H-165B and has better ratios 3.7 and 3.889. Yours are 3.54 ... pretty sad. You would have to convert over to leaf spring and it's a lot heavier. Take a look at the '80-'81 200sx it had the H-165 and had lower 3.70 and 3.889 gears... just swap the center section. Or see if it's the same width and swap the whole thing and you get rear disc brakes as well!!! Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 z-car R200 LSD units are very hard to find. Swap in something with LSD options. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 the 240sx rear is irs if you want to convert yoou can but since you have a strait axle already its easier to stick with a strait axle shit get a narrowed ford 9 inch for it Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah...the Ford 9 inch is a good idea...maybe even the 8 incher out of an fox body Mustang. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah...the Ford 9 inch is a good idea...maybe even the 8 incher out of an fox body Mustang. i like that idea better you can even keep the same lug pattern and have matching wheels and we all know there are 9 billion lsd options for them out there Quote Link to comment
dtauman Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 if i was to ford straight axle it any one know the year of mustang and or boddy style Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 fox body style stang its already got the 4 lug pattern as well you will more then likly need to have it narrowed but ti will be stronger and easier to find then any lsd nissan straight axle Quote Link to comment
dtauman Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 nice man i wounder how much it will be custom??? lol Quote Link to comment
dtauman Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 ok you dont have to be a dick. When i typed this thead, i did it on my cell phone. witch most of the time i do. most of my replies i do on my cell too, so yeah if you dont like it, why would you waste your time to reply?

datzenmike Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 510 realm are hate'n and makin me sound like a douch bag.... meaning hate'n on me cuzz its not a pl510 lol. I told you on 'The Realm' that being able to communicate was important. No one hated you for having an HL, I like HLs. Run on sentences are hard to read and are a lot of bother to decipher, mistakes are inevitable.... yet preventable. Instead of the rest of the world conforming to you, how about you spend the time and save us the bother? WTF has a cell phone got to do with it? It has all the alphabet and punctuation doesn't it? Take your time, it's so much easier. Let me say I'm not hating you, not making fun of you, your spelling or your car... I have no idea if you are a douche bag :D nor do I care. I would like to understand you better though and offer any help with your ride. mike Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 yeah, it makes as much sense posting the hl510 on the realm as it does posting it on the bblist ... :lol: the hl510 isn't even a 510 let alone a bluebird ... just badged that way in the usa market ONLY Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Reasons the HL is far superior to the PL: The HL already has an L20B or Z20 already in it!!! ... and it clears the hood!... and has an EI dizzy! Lowering the rear doesn't affect the camber. Had a 5spd dogleg option. Well it did! Better stock disc brakes. (better than a 10 year old PL at least) :lol: (tee hee) Quote Link to comment
