#1 I may have found a donor car - 1991 Nissan Stanza & 1986 Toyota Camry
JD1200 Posted on: 2006/5/3 23:21
Can someone tell me what parts out these 2 cars I can use for my '72 Datsun 1200?? I heard possibly the front suspension (i.e. struts/calipers/rotors,etc.,) any engine parts? rear suspension?

Please let me know as this person may be calling the wreckyard in a few days to get these off his property...

interesting, I doubt you could use much from that on your 1200. Not that I know

I thought I read people have also swapped out their front struts/brakes from a Stanza model??? or is this much older than '91???

that's he biggest reason to use 280zx stuff, there are tons of them in the junk yards in the states.

There are not really any rear suspension parts to be had, you have leaf springs in the rear ( some would say that's better ) The engine parts you want is an A15 to replace your A12 and a weber32/36

the biggest reason to not use them is the big pile of $$$ you'll need. like i said in the other thread, 81 datsun 210 would be a cheap nearly bolt in that might even fit with your current wheels.

Learn from my mistakes...

81 datsun 210 struts ( sold already, unless you want to pay more than $33 for them, but i shouldn't they already sold... )

so you have at least an A14, still have 4 wheel drums?

4 wheel drums? No USA sunnys had front drums.

The Stanza they are talking about is Australia only; they used aussie suspension (we have the 1980 Datsun 510 HL10, theirs was the Stanza A10).

You can use many parts of the new cars; you can swap the whole Camry engine in if you are clever. Not too many of us would attempt it. I don't know that anything would be a direct bolt in; highly unlikely.
