Well the 521 project is under way and now im looking at starting another 1200 sedan project.
What i want to know what would be best for brakes and motors there are 2x 120y sedans 1x 180b 1x bluebird gl serise 3 1x nissan skyline ti
and they are extremly cheap and complete or free and almost running so i wanted to know what would be the best brake and motor upgrade from whats on the list if you get what im trying to say i want a powerfull daily driver if that helps any

bump any help

I belive 180B are quite similar to Stanza so should be the go. I've no experience in the other cars....

the 180b is probalby your best bet. 120y will be a series, skyline wil be an RB30 (6cyl).
you could put the bluebird motor in, but its probably a CA20, which isn't all that great. The 180b would probably be your best bet. Its virtually a straight swap (I think 521 is much the same as a 1600 with an L16 standard?) so the move up to an L18 is fairly straight forward, with a noticeable power gain.

brake wise i think the skyline is the way to go, although it will require a lot of effort. not entirely sure whats involved, but you will need to change the springs with some smaller items (possibly 180b or bluebird ones) and i'm not sure what kind of camber you will get, it could be postive (nasty) requireing strut tops etc. to sort out. I think there's something on this kind of conversion in the datnet forums.

Do a bit more research anyhow... I don't own (or ever worked on) any 1600's or anything like that.


[edit] whoops... just found out they have a series engines... in that case it'll take a fair bit more to get the L series in. How similar to 1600's are these cars? maybe you could get the crossmember out of a 1600??

well its all for the 1200 sedan because iv alread got the running gear in the 521and is working extremely well but would the ca20 be any good for the 1200 or would it be to heavy and im looking at geting the rear discs off a pulsar q i think its a 82 modle any ideas im looking at puting the ti rims on the dato 2 but im not sure what stud patters soot im sure some1 on the site has done this but i cant find it

I meant use the 180B front end...better brakes.

anyone?

ti rims are the correct stud pattern mate. not sure on the rest, ca20's only good as a boat anchor i think.

so the ti rims would bolt straight up to the standard 1200 or not?
