I want to tuck in my front wheels on a datsun 1200 coupe what kind of struts can I use

You mean tuck them out (negative camber) for better cornering?

You can do it with the stock struts. There are several ways to do it. See http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... ber_.28Negative_camber.29
* Slot the strut-top mounting points per the Nissan Competition suspension manual
* Redrill the crossmember mounting points
* install adjustable strut tops
* use longer bottom arm (e.g. B310 suspension arm). Or lengthen the arm

Im talking about getting that drag racing look. Tires tucked in, closer together someone told me B210 struts will do the job has anybody done this yet please let me know

Realistically speaking, you're more likely to 'achieve' the look from wheels with an inward offset over and above std (maybe some FWD small japanese car wheels of some sort?).

You'd also (probalby) want a slightly bigger diameter rim you can fit, so they help clear the brakes and steering knuckle with that extra inboard offset.

Without looking under the car (can check tomorrow if you like) It's likely that the thing you'll hit is the strut upright tube itself (depending on tyre height, esp if the rim itself is taller, which it might need to be as discussed above). Now if the strut tube itself is the thing that will rub, then it's a difficult issue. You can't offset it (well not really) inward as such, you'd need to shorten a control arm, and modify the strut top topush the whole lot inward, which would stuff up bump steer galore and generally poor handlng, and no chance of dialling in any real neg camber (even for a drag car that does just a little street driving it's worth having some), So that is _mostly_ out. The only other thing possible, would be to use the thinnest strut tube diameter possible - and I think the early 1200 ones are the ones here. Even so, comparing those to the later thicker strut tubes (or some off another car) they would lkely only get you about 5 - 10mm tops in terms of spacing teh wheels further in.

BEyond that, you might have to consider some 'optical illusions' - i.e. if you massaged/pumped out the guards (not just a cm or two around the wheel arch) a little it would appear like the wheels are further in. I'm talkng about guard mods here, not fitting flares. It's possible that with flares fitted, it'd not look 'right' even if it did appear that the wheels were further inward

have a look at ben bray's datsun 1200, see what he's done to the front end

Also, 20Brotary do you have a 20b rotary? would love to see some details!

B210 strut won't bring the wheels closer to the center of the cars.

This drag racing look is acheived with very narrow wheels and tires:







Fit a 3-in wide wheel to achieve this look. The stock wheels are 4-inch with +30mm offset. 3-inch with no offset would probably work, without modifying the struts whatsoever.
