you are right 1200rallycar, I have both and there is no hight gains at all, its just for the look. Still you could make a "new GX" bonnet with a slightly larger bulge that still has the same look but is slightly higher and more functional.

I was looking into it as well (rhd) and the only thing I can see being important is which side of the xmember it is mounted. You really want one that mounts on the firewall side of the xmember so you can keep the same rake on the steering column and all the rod ends on the rear of your lower arms.
I think a ke70 toyota starlet would be the best option but Im still looking.

Hey Minnesh I just had a look at the pics of your car on the sns (?) website. Very nice! Where did you get the wheels from? And whats with the cut-out along the back of the car, is it just for looks or are you running a diffuser?

Congrats on the business I know how hard it is to set up your own small business. If it wasn't for my being in Auckland NZ and my car being at the painters I would happily let you take a mold of my 1200gx bonnet. If you are over this way and can do it with out damaging the paint, look me up.

Hey A14force I would be real keen on the info on how to make one as Ive got a mate who is an engineer and owes me a favour or two. Could you email me at qhamill@parkside.co.nz. Thanks. I thought about the ae86 diff but I had enough trouble trying to find one for my ae85 and then there would be all the converting to leaf springs etc which would make it real expencive, in saying that TRD stuff seems al ot cheeper than NISMO for some reason?!

Thanks for the offer Adam but where are you? Im in NZ and I dont recognize your number. Im real keen on the idea of the phantom grip but I dont know enough about how it works and I cant seem to find any one selling one for a H165 so I have no idea of the price or how to get one.

Cheers Bert, but surely staying with datsun/nissan parts will be easier. As for pics of the motor in the car, no can do. The car is at the painters having recieved a comlpete bare metal panel and paint and wount be back till next week. The motor is in parts (everythings there) in my garrage beside the supra box, custom bell housing and xmember to mount the motor in a 1200. Everythings there except the diff, I have a H165 rear end out of a ute but Im still making up my mind about which diff to run. Im taking pics and will post them as I go. There is a sheit load of stuff to do to get a FWD toyota fuel injected, supercharged motor into a datto, every two steps forward theres one step back.

I think you on the money a14force. The H165 with an LSD is probably the best option, Im just worried that if I spend all the money (between 1.5 and 2k) on an LSD and the axles just brake all the time Ill be super-pissed.

Hey thanks for all the replies, guys. If I do have to modify the rear end I want to do it properly so the R31 sound like the go, how hard is it to find R31 diffs, and how easy is it to get an LSD for one? I do plan to drive like an idiot, thats what the car is being built for. Has any one actually broken a H165 diff? Does de-stressing (shotpenning?) the axles actually make them much stronger? And as NZDATMAN said I dont really want to go for a huge bloody diff because it will upset the charactoristics of the car.
