Matt, the car you are thinking of is Jon's one, which is silver...




He bought it in Portugal and it's currently in Gibralta awaiting transport to the UK.

I had always assumed the 140Z/160Z to be a PB210 but it isn't. The Japanese 1600 Sunny Excellent coupe is a KGB210 and the 1400 a KHB210 so it seems logical for the Z to be the same.

In Nissan engine codes, a long wheelbase is usually denoted by a G prefix (as in GC110 vs C110) but it seem in the case of the B210 the G (or H) prefix denotes engine size instead. I checked the wheel bases in a Japanese Sunny Excellent brochure and a 120Y brochure and they look to be the same at 2340mm. I'd wager the revised frontal styling is still therev to add a little length to the engine bay to accomodate the L series though.

I'm not normally a big fan of B210's but I'd have that yellow 160Z in my collection like a shot! Most awesome

he bought it in my country? where? do you have more photos?

thank you ed and harry

henceforth let the myth of the long wheelbase pb be abolished

I don't believe that the engine bay was any larger in the L series engined cars [PB210] either as there is plenty of room already. At most, the radiator support pannel may have been different to allow the radiator to sit flush with it instead of being extended rearwards to place the radiator closer to the engine fan.

There is so much room in there that it was possible to fit this Holden V8 & auto trans into this B210 sedan. Yes, it's street legal & was at the Datnats in Goulburn last year.

If this will fit without firewall or tunnel cutting, then so will an L series.

i'm neither a ford nor a chevy man, but i'd use a for 350 with front distributor if i ever needed to put one in a datto
