Yeah sorry that's my bad incorrect typing (will edit) it is R31 rear calipers so that i can use the same linkage from the datsun itself had the mounting point welded the same point so the cables will reach to the correct spots at the caliper :)

R32 rear brakes? Look like commo or r31 just asking because I didnt know handbrake linkage worked the same way or something?

Here is a look at the diff and the new parts ill give you full spec's on it shortly in comparison to the h165 in there currently

Wheel offsets are front +18 15x5 rear are +35 15x5 perfect fit

Love the grille.
Wheels look tough. Can't wait to see this cruising round the streets.

Nice.
Looks like you're just over 45 1/2 inches from hub to hub. What are your wheel offsets?

So i got my new diff from the diff doctor here in the ACT

Brand new borgwarner diff cut and shortened 35mm spline billet axels, 4.11 ratio, R31 disk's and calipers, braided lines, they have done an excellent job looks great just need to put it in makes the little h165 look like a kid's toy

It primed currently just needs to go to the powder coater next week

The leafmount seats are 980mm centre to centre and from hub to hub 1160mm total length

I will put up some pictures of the diff and brake setup soon along with a comparision sizing from the h165..

Next thing to do is get my yoke fixed up and new tailshaft shortned with a borgwarner 8 bolt uni :)

really lovely build, top marks LK.

As for the carpet from that Knox carpet mucher mob Eddy mentioned you best go for the cheapest loop pile its somehow much stronger than the plush premium they offer in that it doesnt fluff up or fray. Never had an issue with plain black and easy to touch up with cheap black enamel black paint if you ever stain it or cant vacuum the white dust off that sometimes gets caught in it very tightly.

Have not made much progress have some really rare diff issues ill take some pictures and add it in to give you an idea..

but have the coilovers and lowering blocks in and put it on the ground for a quick look at how it sits the ute now tucks guard front and rear its a bit too low the exhaust flange is around 50mm off the ground the chassis rails around approx 110-120mm

Here is how it looks
