Hey,
I got a set of really sweet mags for a dirt cheep price, they are brand new. The only problem is they are a 4x100 stud pattern, and if i'm not mistaken the 1200 stud pattern is 4x114. Is there any other datsun's that I could use their stud pattern of 4x100 and bolt it up to where my old stufd pattern is and axels that would suit teh 1200 ute diff.
Can anyone help

Thanks for any advice

Cheers
Damian

At work we have knocked out the old studs and welded up the holes then re-drilled the new stud pattern, and then you can have the correct thread as well on the studs

or a nother way around it is to use the diff out of, I think its the ke10/20 corolla they have the same looking diff as the 1200 and im sure they are 4 by 100 pattern, but that dosent fix the front?????

Or you could by an N13/N14/N15 pulsar..
Sounds like good advice from go_the_datto.

As far as the front goes, first generation RX7 struts will fit with some mods. That not only gets you big vented discs, it should get you 4x100mm also.

What Mods are we talking??? How much of the strut would I have to get ie, control arms ??? Thanks heaps

Yeah, I believe you need the control arms and maybe the TC rods too. I would grab EVERYTHING from the RX7 whether you need it or not. I know a guy here with them on his sedan. Hopefully I can talk to him and ask him how he did it. For those interested but not wanting to change bolt patterns, the GSL-SE model of the 1st-gen RX7 had the 4x4.5 bolt pattern.

..it also had a disc brake rear axle.

The 1200 has 4 x 4.5 inches rather than 4 in x 114 mm.

This is the same as all Datsun and Toyota rwd vehicles with 4-bolt wheels. Same as 1960s Fords (Falcon, Mustang, etc 4-bolt). Same as Chevy Corvair.

Yeah but here in australia, we go by metric measurement not imperial, thats why I quoted the stud pattern to be 4x114mm
which is the same as 4x4.5in.
What axels fit the 1200 ute diff, that would have a 4x100mm pattern, I think that 100mm is about 3.9 in.

Thanks for any more help

Converting the rear to 100mm PCD is not hard. Redrilling the axles is NO problem. Especially if you have a friend with a lathe/MIG/pistol drill and a steady hand.

Redrilling the brake drums, is a bit trickier. But if done carefully, then it shouldn't be any harder than doing the axles.

I had to convert a 5x120 axles and discs to 4x114.5 for my diff. It looks schmick.

I wonder if anyone knows of 100mm PCD drums that are the same size as the 1200 drums. I'll check this out next time I'm at the wreckers. Who would have thought you could learn so much from a day at a wrecking yard. Maybe BMW or Honda ones might fit. I'll look for an online catalog.

Chris.

Thanks heaps Chris
