Or a watts linkage. Old British Rover 3500 (SD1) have a good setup you can use ...if
you can find one.

On both Datsun 1000 and 1200's, LHD have a hydraulic clutch and RHD have a cable. It's because the clutch arm is on the right side of the tranny and you'd need a really long
cable on a LHD.

Not only is the WRX diff for an IRS set-up like a 510 but if it's a LSD it's most probably a viscous one which uses special shafts so it's not even a bolt in on a 510. I have one
of thse for my 510 and have to make custom shafts.

You could always convert you 1200 to IRS

Are A14 and A15 cylinder heads interchangeable? I mean I know they will physically fit but what about compression etc?
I just pulled the head off my Vanette (A15) because of a burnt out valve and it's an oval port head so I'd like to use it on my 1200 coupe with my GX carbs but the only head I have to put
back on the Vanette is off an A14.
The A15 has massively dished pistons so I'm guessing it won't upset the compression much but what do ya reckon? Think I'll get away with the A14 carb and intake too? (the A15 intake is
oval port so might not be to happy on a round port head!)

I've seen a VG20ET in a Y31 Nissan Cedric before and they are RWD. Some Japanese spec Y30 Cedrics or Glorias (probably sold as a Nissan 300C in Oz like it was here) also have a
VG20 in RWD layout although normally aspirated.

In South Africa they sold L series powered B210's as a 140Z and 160Z. These were also sold in Japan and I think are actually a B211 rather than a B210. I have a Japanese brochure for this
model. The L16 powered car was sold as in different trim levels and specs and was designated GX-L, GX, GL-L and GL depending on spec. The L series cars have a slightly longer hood that is
more pointed in the center and a lot of other differences with bumper, grille and turn signals. The rear lights are different to ...the 1600GX-L coupe has six round tail lights! Email me if
you want a pic of one ...I have scanned it from the brochure.
I don't think any other markets other than S.A and Japan got these cars.

Hi Kenn,
The B110 was sold in the US from 1971. There is a book called "Nissan/Datsun - A History of Nissan Motor Corporation in USA 1960-1980" by a guy called John B. Rae. This
might have some usefull info in it for you. It was published by McGraw-Hill from New York and the book code is ISBN 0-07-051112-8.

I have scanned a USA brochure for the B110 and put it on my website. You can see it at http://www.ratdat.com/b110brgal/

I'm sure there are several people in this club from the US who would like to put their 1200 in Old Timer!

The B110 has a huge following still. There are people here from all over the world!

Good luck with your research,

Ben, the biggest issue would be the width of the engine and gearbox assembly as it's transversely mounted. It would be way to wide for a 1000 by the time you had installed the GTiR
struts and turrets. Personally, I'd go with a CA18DET and forget the 4WD. One wild idea that might work though ...how about using the whole front clip from a Nissan Maxima which is
a transverse mounted VG30E (FWD) and building that into the rear for a V6 mid engined 1000!
