Howdy,

I have a H165 diff in my 1200 coupe and I have spun the spline
out of the diff centre carrier and off the end of an axle.
So I now need to hunt down a centre and an axle.

The question is what car / ute / van is the diff out of?

This is what I know. . . .

H165 centre
Diff width. Drive flange to Drive flange = 1340mm
Axle length. Drive flange to end = 645mm (both the same length)
Axle splines = 23

So does this ring a bell with anyone?
Does anyone know what it is out of?

I would like to be able to go to the wreckers
and give them a Model and year.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Geoff

Sounds like a diff out of a late 1200 ute by the lenght. A series one bluebird will have a centre you can use or some vannetes as well as the 1200 ute. The axel will be specific to a 1200 ute and good luck with getting one only from a wrecker. But stranger things have happened...

Thanks,

1200 ute? any idea of what year/s I should be looking for?
If I have to buy the whole diff there may be a housing
up for sale soon. . . . . .

i think 74 and later had the h165. Can someone confirm this?

Model 910 [Bluebird, series 1 & 2.
4 Door Sedan with 4 speed gearbox. H165 in 3.7 to 1 ratio
Station wagon with 4 speed gearbox. H190 in 3.9 to 1 ratio
All other Sedans & Wagons with Auto or 5 speed gearbox. H165 in 3.9 to 1 ratio.
From memory it's 74-76 onwards had the H165, might be easier to find one on this site than at a wreckers.

Was the center damaged? The side gear can be replaced unless your CRP was somehow damaged.

Howdy,
I have a spare diff centre and am hoping it won't be to hard to change the crown and pinion over so I can keep my 4.875 ratio.

Thanks to your help I think this is what it is:

1978 Datsun 1200 ute diff with a H165B centre (4.11 ratio in australia)
Nissan can supply me with new axles, Ex Japan

shaft assy-rear axle part # NI-38162-G1000 $359.05 Each

It's good to know they are avaliable new, but for that price I might keep
looking for second hand a little longer.

Cheers,

Geoff

Sounds like you need a whole ute rear end .You should end up with a spare axle as well as a centre to put you 4.875 gear set on.Look after 4.875 gear set as they are near impossible to find.

Thanks must go out to JMAC for offering to sell me a pair of 1200 ute axles.
JMAC sold them to me for a very resonable price and organised freight from his end.
Thanks again JMAC, as I know you would have had to go to some trouble and effort to help me out.
This is what this forum is all about, people helping people.
Thanks

Geoff
