Hi Guys,

Its been a while since my last post.

I am stuck trying to find the following parts to finish rebuilding my H165 diff. Can anyone point me to where I can purchase...

- steel shim to diff housing end
- Bearing spacers for axle end
- Paper gasket for grease catcher

cheers

I have an alternator with an internal regulator. the Mitsubishi type.

I am relocating the battery to the boot so thought I would:

1. Run the +'ve to a circuit breaker 140A close to battery, then straight to the starter solenoid.
2. run a feed from the starter back to the fuse box for live feed in. Eliminating the large white/red to white wire from engine bay
3. run a A charge cable from the alternator to the starter to charge the battery

So am I right in thinking its the small white/red wire that is the feed to the charge light in the dash?
And that I will then only need this 1 wire small white/red to go to the L terminal with nothing needed on the S terminal?

thanks for the help

this should be a better photo...

ok guys I am in the process of a full wire tuck and about 80% done.

I got rid of the voltage regulator and wondered whether the white blue. WL wire is really necessary? can I delete this as it just feeds back to the main wire harness I believe.

ok definitely better with the grill then. I have a spoiler kit on mine but think I need to retro fit the bumper back on.

does anyone have photos of cars without the bumpers that look any good? curious to know as they are getting hard to find

I need new rubbers for the whole car 9 Datsun 1200 coupe), however I'm trying to make up my mind on getting:

1. the conventional rubber trim and having to buy new chrome filler which is very expensive, or;
2. Buying the one piece rubbers.

Has anyone had experience with the once piece rubbers and what are your thoughts?

Hi Datmo,

Do you have a front sway bar? Does the crank pulley have much clearance from the sway bar being lower?

Panels are straight up front so I don't see any signs that would make be suspect a bent chasis.

Yes I agree with what you are saying, I'm just a curious cat about the measurements.

yes except I'm measuring from the very front of the cover to lower flange below the one your line points too. Simply as it will show up a larger error if its installed on an angle by being the very front.

I found that the rear of engine is perfectly centred however the from is out.
My left side mount I fabricated is 35mm set back as has been explained in forums, but the drivers side needed to be 45mm out.
Thats why I have wondered how other peoples line up on original mounts.

hi vixen, I'm aware of that. About 15mm longer stroke I believe. Im talking about it being off centre by 5mm.

Its probably nothing to worry about, but I'm interested to see how others fair with their measurements.

I have also found the 60a clutch fork very close to the tunnel. I have it about 5mm clearance at the moment.
