#14 Re: Lowering a B310 - Advice from some Datsun super geniuses would be welcome.

It doesn't matter where in the rev range torque is, because the torque number is independent of RPMs.

H150 will probably handle 115 ft-lbs with no problems, as long as you do not use full-throttle takeoffs, or fit a spool or welded diff.

okay thanks guys, think i may just look into modifying the original strut to be adjustable.
Am considering maybe putting a sr16ve engine and gearbox in, in the future i know there quite a few problems that would need to be addressed for this swap but id like to know your guys thoughts.
one of my main questions is would the standard h150 diff handle the toque in just street driving. im guessing the answer is probably no but would like to know since it puts out 130kw but only 115 ft-lb of torque and that is very late in the rev range.
any thoughts would be appreciated cheers guys.

B310 comes stock with coilover front suspension.
Open in new window


Aftermarket kits makes it adjustable, and use smaller-diameter springs. These are Ground Control brand kits installed:

But you don't need those if all you want is adjustable. There are several ways to convert the stock setups to adjustable. See Fastening Spring Seats.

Cheers for the info guys, i will look into upgrading the brakes in the near future so thanks on the info for that too.
Nic, do you sell a complete coilover, or the coilovers sleeve insert? ive never seen a complete coilover for the b310

Perhaps A12-powered B310 -- in Australia-assembled form -- came with the large struts? JDM and export ones came with small struts and 12" tires.

The B310 large struts are virtually the same as A10 Stanza struts. Note that Australia-assembled used locally sourced Girlock brakes instead of the Japan-assembled cars.

I e been doing some reading about the b310 aus brakes and not sure what's the go, I don't understand what brakes can be used on the 2" struts with 80mm bolt hole spacing, are these like the 180b style that take commodore setup?

The ones I have are 2" as well, I sell coilover kits to suit them as far as brake upgrades ill look into them

My sunny has 2in struts and it was factory a12, was it a factory option to have the bigger struts installed maybe

Not the same struts as a 1200. But A12-powered Sunny uses same diameter, uses the same adjustable spring perches. It should have larger brakes than a 1200 among other differences.
