ok cool thanks for your help mate !!!

Ahh good point ill have to have a chat with engineer ! i was planning on running 15x6.5 wheels with it.... if i was to lower it by 2inches would i have to shorten the struts ?

Cheers

So id have a h165 diff then ? i havent pulled it off yet or measured it so im unsure ! if so would the blue bird diff fit the h165 ?

Thanks mate that helped me heaps .... do you think this is a good enough front strut/brake combo with r31brakes on the rear for a 1200 ute with a ca18det ?

Cheers sean

Hi

I have 120y struts / brakes in my 1200 ute an was wondering if any one knows of a caliper an rotor up grade from the standard set for better braking ?

Cheers Sean

My diff is an 8 bolt rig unsure if its a h145 or h165 ? its a b120 79 1200 ute aussie made i think ?

Yeah ive a couple of toys first build tho and loving it...... learning to weld LOL i learnt a very valuable lesson two days ago always wear glasses even if its a quick little cut !! the only time i ddint have them on an BAM metal in my eye..... had to get that scraped out,

My last 1600 was the best it was on ebay an carsales this year bright orange one with a ca in it from the central coast stock as but build very very well !! BEAUTIFUL car ! it had 15 on it too an i agree with you they suit the smaller cars well and handle better I'm not after a pimped ride performace an handling thank you !

I will get a project build thread up soon (project gobblin) it will be.

The 240 is a nice rig hey... i love the 1600 an the 1200 utes the best, i just got rid of my 1600 with a ca 18 an had another stock 1600 aswell and had another 1200 ute with the 4agze that was fun !

I have 120y struts an calipers on my 1200 an was going to go with a stanza strut / brake combo an r31 on the rears.

I was flicking through the forum today and finally came across the same build im doin with photos an im pumped LOL any way i seen you were using the 120y struts an r31 on the rears so i think you might have changed my mind !! are you still running the stock size rotors ? and do you know what max size wheels you can run ? 15x6.5 i would be happy with 17x7 would look good but then $$ jump up.

I do have photos of my build their all just body work tho im doing a full haul an repalacing every panel on the car except for the roof, ute bed and maybe the bonnet !! ive just done the floor pans an tranns tunnel and rust repairs

I dont think my builds photos are that exciting yet !!! LOL was stoked to see yours tho i can't wait to get in primer an move onto the next stage !

Cheers

NICE JOB MATE .... im doing the same conversion with my ute !! but im still in body work stage ATM an my rotisserie comes this week ! i have a couple of questions i see your running the 120y front structs ! what calipers are you running do you think with the 120y strut combo its going to pull-up ok ? an are you running the r31 rear calipers ?

Cheers sean

i was wondering if a Blue Bird s2 diff center would fit in a 79 1200 ute ? the diff is a 23 spline 8 bolt rig

cheers sean
