I'll look into getting a mould made from the ones I have to make some more and find out what it'll cost. I don't mind sending stuff anywhare so shippings not a problem and they are very light wieght.

The arches I have fit my ute and two door sedan perfectly. The front's on the coupe are the same but the arch is a little longer on the rear on a coupe. What I'll have to do is make a mould of the rears I have, make another pair then alter those to fit the coupe. Once that's done I can make another mould. It looks like it would be possible to cut the rear flare in half and add a little in the center to make it longer.

I'll keep you all updated how I get on.

I've had a look into disc brakes on a Datto 1000 although I'm not sure how usefull this will be to you guys down under as you may not have got these particular donor cars there.
Anyway, I found a Nissan Primera 1.6 vented front rotor slips over the stock B10 hub link it was made for it. The caliper is from an Austin Metro and is a lovely little AP four spot (as in AP racing!). As you can see in the pics it wouldn't be hard to make a bracket to mount this caliper. You'd probably have to fit slightly longer studs too. The whole assembly will fit inside a 13" wheel.

OMG Chris, that 20,000 miler looks near perfect If only I could find one like that here

The colour looks great by the way. look forward to seeing pics of it all painted. What is the colour..a special mix?

I have a set of 1200 fender flares that will fit a sedan or ute. If there was enough interest I could try to get some copies made. It wouldn't be too hard to adapt them to fit coupes as well (the rear arch is longer). I can't promise anything but if anybody is interested I'll look into it.

Below is a couple of pics of the flares I have and a picture of how they would look on a 1200.

Prepare your drool tray...

Advan A3A

Heaps of Advan A3A's on Japan auctions... likewise, one day when i can afford it I'll have some nice fat 8x13

Ah, I didn't notice you were in Finland before. I have been there twice and certainly never saw any 300ZX's on the road. But then again, I never saw any S12's yet you have one

Hey you live in H

To be honest I'm not sure. I got mine fromToy East but when I enquired a week later about getting more they had sold out. They are limited production. The Marusen car is a run of only 1000 models.

It might be worth searching the net. The company that makes them is called Pit-Road and they are a collaboration with Ebbro. Pit-Road have also made a handful of other cool models including a 1/24 scale model kit of the Marusen Technica Sunny. This is another collaboration thing and is basically the old Doyusha kit with a few extras and some decals.

The R160 is MUCH smaller than an R200. The Silvia will have CV jointed shafts like the Brumby but the size and design will be different.

On an R160 the two splined shafts that go into the sides of the diff are the same length and on an R200 they are different left and right. Also the R200 is wider than the R160 so the length of the driveshafts will vary, especially the left side.

The method for retaining the axles into the diff is different too. the Subaru diff will have bolt-in axles and the R200 will have snap rings.

I think the later, facelift Z31 Nissan 300ZX might have come with an R200 LSD but I'm not sure. Most other cars that came with LSD R200's used the Viscous type unit, housing in a different design casing that won't fit. I believe it is possible to build the internals from one of these into your R200 but you will still need to do some work with the driveshafts as the viscous diff requires special driveshafts. Late S13 and S14 Silvias and 200SX (180SX) have these VLSD's.

I wouldn't want an auto myself but I'd like to have a go in a CAD18DET/auto 1200...I bet it'd be good for drags.
Hehe... at least there's no worries converting to a hydraulic clutch that way, eh?
Seriously, though. Does the CA autobox have overdrive? I'm guessing if it has it'll be like the other late Nissan autoboxes...huge. That said, it won't have the shifter housing so that won't require any cutting in the tunnel for clearance.

I once used a different bore clutch slave cylinder on an L series motor and it made the clutch really light. I can't remeber now what it was from...all I remember was that it had an aluminium housing rather than cast iron. I'll see if i can figure what it was from and let you know.

Sound good. I'll see if I can arrange something.
Do you get Stella there then? Got to be my No1 beverage here... nothing else will do :o)
