Just wondering what people have changed to 5 stud on there 1200s, and how they went about it.
I'm tossing up the idea depending on what's envolved.
Use other front struts with vl hubs and rotors? Using shortened and resplined vl axles in the rear?
Any opinions would be great!

Cheers wardy

so you want holden stud pattern?

what diff are you running? what struts are you running?

well that all depends on how hard it will be, only reason bein it will open up pretty much endless choice of wheels etc.

I can get whatever struts ill need, ill be running i shortened R31 diff.. Prob should have said that in the original post lol.
I thought that while i was getting the diff done, if it was possiblle i was thinking of getting a set of suitible axles (5 stud)shortened and resplined to match.

if its all goin to be a waste of time and cash ill just stick with the 4 stud, i just couldnt really find any info so i thought i would ask

WARDY IN A DATTO AGAIN! HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD!

haha yeh jake i thought i better get back into the brand of car that got me hooked on modifying cars in the first place!

oh and pigdog, the main reason for wanting holden pattern is down here we have an abundance of vl and commodore parts, that i can get for pretty much nothing. I can also get a set of R31 struts for nothing aswell.. just tossing around the options

ford stud pattern is easier, and more wheel options as more jap 5 stud is that pattern
can use EB-AU axles cut down in the r31 diff for the rear

then have a couple of possible options from the front
find some 240/260/300c hubs and see how you go fitting them onto some larger datsun struts, should be the same stub axle dimensions
or z31 300zx 5 stud hubs like what datsport use for their 5 stud r31 struts
or apparently XFs have the same stub axle dimentions as datsuns so you can use their intergrated disc/hub

getting 5 stud is the easy part, then you just have to play around with brakes to see what will work

as for holden stud pattern on the front, grab some VL front disc/hubs and see how they go on datsun struts, think the stub axle dimentions are pretty much the same so should be more or less a straight swap

Hope your not planning on running wide low offset wheels with those 31 struts mate, basically Your only option strut wise, for wide wheels on a 1200 is 120y/1200 stuts

Another option for wide wheels is fender flares?
