Yeah i think ill search one in australia regardless of shippining. i would like a 4.11 since i dont think ill be racing a lot. Gives me a little of both worlds.
Thanks a lot.

You can get a good used H165 4.11 Ring & Pinion set from Australia for $250 including shipping. For better acceleration go with a 4.375.

Thanks for the comments.

And the ring and pinion from nismo for that type of diff is 450$, so im looking around to see if i can get it cheaper from someone or find it.

For the front suspension I used the 280z struts and cut them so I could use the shocks from an MR2. And for the steering knuckle I used one from the 510 since I adapted a rack & pinion from a 240z. A lot of work but finally got it to sit in, I had one of my buddies make an extension for the passenger side since the rack & pinion bar on that side did not reach the knuckle. I also had to shorten the steering column, ended up using one from a 240z.
Too much mod, its going to end up being a 1240z hahaha.

Sweet Motor!!

Nice progress.

What did you end up using a for suspension? Did put the 1200 struts/brakes back on?

By the way, 4.11 gears for H165 only came as option in USA for the Datsun 410. So unlikely to find them used. Get 4.11s from Nismo or from overseas.

Ok guys so i have been lagging this post but i finally got the progress pictures together and here they are. I cant wait till i can get it on the road!!!

yeah, im not sure either. cuz i tried the ones from the 510 and they dont fit.

The strut holes should be fine. It's the size of the ball joint hole and tie-rod holes I don't know about.

Let me ask the guy i was going to buy them from and see how far away the the strut base holes measure. and ill check if the tie rod ends fit in. ill let you know
