Several 310 SR20 projects!! Wow show me more as I have hardly seen anything relating to 310s at all on the net (and thats not because I dont search!). What rear axles are being used to support the torque/hp of an SR engine and what front struts are people using with their setups? Having the engine in is only part of the deal, Id be really keen to know how teh rest of teh drivetrain is being modified.

In my car I have an R31 Skyline limited slip diff with the 28 spline axles, a custom 3" tailshaft and the motor (obviously) with the standard SR20 five speed. As far as brakes go, I have S13 SR20 rotors and calipers up front with the R31 rotors and calipers on the diff. I am still using standard B310 struts with upgraded inserts and coils, I also have upgraded gas struts and coils in the back.
Here is a pic of my skyline diff compared to the tiny looking standard diff.
Here is the pic showing my caliper mounting.
Here is the pic showing the hub machined down to fit inside the rotor.

bad310 this is great stuff, I have read that using 280zx front struts is a very good upgrade for the 310 as you get vented rotors and bigger calipers, would you have preferred to go this way? I like the fact that you have used the 310 strut and modified it to use the s13 rotor/caliper setup, was th emachining work straight forward? Its a shame that r31 diffs cannot be got here in the UK, H190 far more widesprerad but we never got any with lsds.

but mitchell did u ever read that r31 struts can also fit in b310s.

as long as i know they can be a good choice too and i was wondering to do that on the front.

and another question for u min. do u own any b310?????

I have a 1981 b310 2 door saloon in yellow, 4 speed with an a12. Im not sure how I want to do modify it yet but it WILL be special when im done!

u r the right man to help us out. if ofcourse u would like 2. i am converting a 4 door saloon into a 2 door one since no 2 door saloon was brought to malta. can u pls give me the measurement from the front pillar to the middle pillar i will apriciate that.

the brown one is the one i am converting into an sr20det 2dr 210 and the silver is a 4 dr 5 speed a12 with original extras and hoping to convert it with the solex side draft as showed by the modification manual for datsuns

No problem, I measured from the behind the front wing to the middle pillar and got 110cm. hope that helps you and please keep me posted with your project!

10x mic. sry i m gonna make u another one more question but for me is a little bit important to know exact distance. 110cm is as shown on a or as sown on b

Min and Jonathan: Yeah I know that there are quite a few struts that fit directly or are able to be modified to suit, but this set up was the easiest route to take at the time and I think it will work quite well.

I didn't do any of the machine work myself, I had a machine shop turn down the hubs and my mechanic (Pizzi Automotive) did the welding and most of the assembly of these structual parts.

i used 300zx adjustable coil overs what did you use mitch????
