how heavy are those vg30's ? they are the forgotten engine.

I did a trial fit of a VG30E into a B310 once and that gearbox fitted in the tunnel fine with just a bit cut out for the shifter. The VG gearbox is very similar to the CA one.

I think it's best to just refer to the models by chassis code. B210, B310, N10 etc...

why is it a datsun 210 by nissan...

(280zx - 200sx) - (210) = Datsun -130zs

can we just refer to the sunny 310 as the datsun -130zs to eliminate
confusion with other models...

so that answers the question as to whether the sunny 310 thing had a AT and MT chassis with a different tunnel - THEY ARE THE SAME.

anyone, is there a good detail thing on putting in a 200sx rear axle?

I have done the conversion in the past & the tranny tunnel needs no modifications. The tunnel is bigger than the 1200. Also we don't know why they badged it a 210 with a 310 model , but here we call 'em 210's cause there was a badged 310 model that was a FWD.

For the benefit of non US members, this US model 210 is AKA B310 & Sunny. It's also known as a 120Y in some markets, but it is not a B210.

Hello to everyone. On the advice of B210Sleeper, I have spent a lot of time here searching and I have a few questions. I have been reading that in order to swap the CA18DET into a 1200 you have to modify the transmission tunnel to get the 5 speed to fit. Does anyone know if this is the case with the 210 as well? Has anyone else done a swap like this that I can see pics of? Also, if this is going to require a lot of modifications to the body and whatnot, what are some better alernatives to getting more power under the hood? Any help is appreciated on this....
