I think you mean B310 (Datsun 210). The Datsun 310 was a front-wheel drive model.

Maybe it was a b310. It was a 1980 though. And rwd. And at the junk yard. With an a15/auto. And a wierd lookind rear end setup-coil springs and trailing arms. I'll stick with leafs, thanks!
Thanks for the correction, I bow to the king!

Thanks guys, I get the sense that ddgonzal knows a ton of info bout these datsuns. Have any of you guys had a look at the "Datsun 1200 Development Program's - Datsun Competition Department Performance Suspension Modifications for the SCCA C Sedan"? What did you think of it? Would that be a good way to go or too extreme? Are there better options out there for getting sweet handling from a coupe? I stopped in at the Van Isle Dat Club and yakked with some guys on saturday. They say the 280 suspension (front) would be the way to go, but one guy was building a 510 with 240 struts modified with fully adjustable coil over kits. I know its not a 1200 but it did open my mind up some. What do ya think?

Oh Datsundonnie, I live on Vancouver Island just outside of Qualicum Beach.

for a road 1200
awesome handeling is piss easy in a 1200, new shocks, little bit harder and lower springs and ya sweet, put in some camber and castor and itll feel like its on rails

tyres are always important, buy cheap ones, they are softer and have more grip

for a race 1200
spend ####ing #### loads on adj this and that and calculate this and that, and maybe handle a little bit betta???
