Any reason's good or bad I'd want a 210 rearend setup for my 1200?

u mean u want to convert from leaf springs to coil springs

Like I said, any reasons for or against using one. I picked up a 210 car yesterday mainly for the trans but I'm just trying to find out if anything else on the vehicle is worth swapping over to the 1200.

I'm just interested to hear what peoples thoughts are on the possibilities, both positive & negative.

My car is at the point of anything goes, if I choose to modify anything its completely striped up on casters getting the body work done, nows the time if ever.

u ve got the advantage that u can use an r31 diff at the back so this may help doing a bigger engine

being made of stratbars the back gives you a better hangling - less rolling - more drift

the front settup is a very good one. its more or less the same as a 510 and most of the moddifications u find out ready to buy from a 510 can help u to have better brakes. disks all overs and better suspensions

thats my opinion buddy. the rest is on your hands.

if u ll need any help on 210 just ask. i ve got 2 of that

hey buddy take a look at this project it might give u an idea on changing to strut bars at the back

1200 project
hope it helps u out

Datsunsunny, thanks for the pointers. thats kind of what I was looking for. Basically just wondering if there's other parts & pieces I should scavenge off the 210 before I unload it. Of course if I steal everything off it its got to go to the wreckers!

On that green sedan, were those front brakes off the 210? The calipers look huge & based on what you wrote the 210 rear end is disc brakes as well, is that correct? If you swap the rear axle does it need shortening or is it a direct swap into the coupe body?


Here's where mine at now....




I appreciate your input!

Thanks,
Evan

Datsunsunny - is that your car? Thats on nicely put together ride! I haven't looked at all the pic's yet but I'm impressed, thats a hell of a lot of work!

did the brake booster come from a 210 as well?

Nice paint color too, I was looking at a new Toyota color, Jasper Pearl that looked very similar. I decided though on 07 VW GTI Fahrenheit burnt orange, should look sharp!

Evan

so if u put an r31 difff, yep you will have disk brakes on the rear. this is my ride everything original. have also rev counter included which was not a standard. and rear fog lights. it took me a year to do nearly everything to the original.




i ve got an other 210 on process this time for track

btw the one i gave u the link to see the job to be done is not my ride.

if i were u i will get everything out of the 210 and leave the chasis only and send it to a reckers.

few reasons - u can sell parts u don't need. there can be someone who need that

reason 2 - you don't know what you will be using. some of the parts are good for both 1200 and b310(210 / sunny)

Hey nice 210 you've got. Yeah, I just did the strip down with another 1200 coupe, I've got 3 sets of shelving storing my 1200 parts warehouse

I'm a little hesitant to go all out on stripping the 210 just because I'm feeling lazy & frankly I dont have the room to store all the extra parts.

I see the 4 link set up the guy put in, it seems like a boat load of work! I assume you're saying the housing out of a 210 will hold the center of an R31 and that its standard rear drum on a 210, is that right? I hacen't pulled wheels or eve peaked at it yet.
