Hey PIGDOG, thanks for your answer, after spending the day looking at the tech wiki and asking around on my local forums
I am going to be keeping the Datsun struts and getting new Bilstein inserts and putting a ground control coilover kit on them, I organized today to get a set of S13 front rotors and calipers by friday, so i'll fot that on the original hubs too.
I got the photos of the rear (and yes, there are upper arms of the rear link - they are also adjustable too)
about the rear struts and coil overs, i was thinking of maybe inverting them? but upon inspecting better, i realize there is no room at all.. I will have to rethink this, and I am also welcomed to suggestions as this is my first old datto :)

Hey thanks for the feedback
I ma going to pull the wheels off tomorrow and take some more photos and see if i can find out what it is. It's welded up right now and I would love to get a proper LSD, so i will be opening it up soon.
I plan on doing the coilover mod to the 310 struts using a Ground Control Kit with camber plates etc. and same in the back so i am planning to pull the leaf springs (thoughts on this??)
more photos tomorrow

I removed the furl tank as it was leaking badly and as the battery is in the trunk and it was leaking in the trunk, well this was not the brightest thing to be driving around with. So i am going to clean up the tank and weld on some AN fittings.
Also still trying to figure out what kind of Diff i have in this thing, I posted some more photos, so hopefully you guys will eb able to help out..
Also the car came with a IHI turbo running 15psi, a bit much for the stock ECU tune and injectors, esp with no intercooler, so I'm going to be installing a boost controller, front mount intercooler (no cutting fitting it behind the grill) and a S13 radiator with some slim line fans.
lots of work still to do, lots of updates comin :)

updates :)
I have been working on the car on and off over the last few weeks..
I swapped out the idle arm on the steering along with all the bushings and greased up everything pretty good, I still need an alignment badly. As far as the brakes go, I have decided to do the B310 front end swap (front control arm, tension rod, spindle and shock/springs) will then swap on some P11 front disks and R32 28mm Aluminum Caliper.
I have takens some time and cleaned up the engine bay wiring loom as it was a complete mess before :P Funny thing when you buy old cars from country people, they have the most innovative ways of doing things.. everything from the wastegate to the seat belts on this car was tied down with wire. even the fuel pump, filter and regulator :)
I have gone through and bolted down everything that I could have and removed things that were not needed.. here are some photos of whats been going on..

this is my newest project, its a B110 Datsun 1200 She's got a CA18DET fitted with a 5speed, the previous owner bought it as is, and has no idea what parts are in it. from what i can see it has a IHI Turbo fitted, no intercooler, stock injectors and ECU It does have disk brakes in the rear and a welded diff, the diff has a 4 link with leaf springs and struts.. The body is in good condition.
I have got to fix the front end the steering ends and bushing up front are a mess..
but anyway, What Diff is this?

Hi there everyone, My name is Aaron, but ppl call me bez, anyhoo, I am from Sunny Trinidad & Tobago, in the caribbean, and have my eye on a B310 120Y to have a little fun with. the car is in really top shape. My plans are as usual, the SR swap, 4piston brakes upfront, 2 pistons in the back, vented rotots, LSD diff, and a really sleek clean look. here is a look at what I have to start with. I would love some ideas on suspension, brakes and diff options. HP i am aiming at is ~320 with SR20 and GT2871-R thanks in advance, loving what I am seeing here :)
