I'm thinking about buying a 1200 ute here in NZ and would like to sell some parts to offset the cost. I'm buying it just for the diff for my coupe. It is de-registered. It has a canopy and
all the bits are there though I have only had a very quick glance over it.

About the ute diff:
Do they have the alloy diff carrier? If not which cars/vans do? I have had two van diffs and a Silvia (US 200SX) diff which is in the car at the moment and none have the alloy diff
carrier.

I just want to reduce the unsprung weight a bit.

Does anyone know which vans (or datsun utes) are most likely to have the LSD centre? I've been looking forever and have never come across one.

As for 1600's, that sounds like a bargain Mareo. We don't see the two-doors here in NZ. $200? That equates to NZ$500 which is super cheap. I got a very original one owner four-door here
for $700 which I thought was a steal! I know what kind of car to buy when I go and tour the USA!
