I have a CA18DE and was thinking it was the CA20 box, however my engineers certificate says otherwise????

Thanks for the help

This site in south africa stocks bodykits for 1200, but i think they look a little to modern for the classic shape of the 1200.

The person (and my engineers report) i bought my ute from said the gearbox was a Series III Bluebird SSS 5-Speed. Was there such a car (SSS edition) and did it come to Australia??
As many people i've told have no idea on this model??

If so does anyone know what diff ratio this car came with and which engine it had??

Also if i was lied to, what 5-speed would i have, just a series II 5spd???

Any help greatly appreciated and i can send pics of the gearbox if that could help anyone help me

Strong Ute Diff

The newer 1200 Ute uses the H165 differential, which is strong enough for a stock CA18DET engine.

And i was wondering if you know what year in which this started happening in Australia?

I have asked ddgonzal and he had this to say
"I understand that the 1971-1973 utes had the H145

I know that the 1976-up utes had the H165 (I have the Nissan Japan parts book).

The only questions is what did 74 and 75 models have?"

Anyone else know more info or specifics for Australia??

Cheers Henry

I need a replacment diff for my 1200 ute with a CA18DE as i blew my centre the other day. A cheap LSD would be good as there are plans for a turbo, but ultimately i would like a secondhand, reconditioned or new, standard 1981 Datsun 1200 Diff. will travel.

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers Henry
