Ok ive been getting every thing prepared for an engine swap. Im planning on stuffing a VG30E into my 77 B210 3door. In preperation for the added weight and to gain some aftermarket options, I am going for the 240sx s13 strut swap. I can get most of the stuff laid out in the wiki pretty easily except for "1200 driver's side inner tie rod end and r31 radius rods".
Im in the southeast us and we dont get many R31 skylines here. i was wondering if there were any substitutes to the R31 radius rod and 1200 tie rod. Alsio since this is a B210 are there any major differences that would not allow the s13 set up to bolt straight in(practically) like it is for the 1200.

Any body who has done this or any body with some insight? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

The US model B210 front end is based on the PB210 Excellent front end & these are a bit sturdier than the 1200 front end.

In Australia & Japan, our 120Y models with the smaller A12 engine used a front end that was essentially the same as the 1200, but the PB210 & US model B210 front end used steering parts that were, in all probability. drawn from the 510 & 610 parts bins & would therefore have larger diameter tapers on the rod ends. This could well work in your favour, but obviously you will need to do a little more homework.

Yes, in USA we got the HB210 ("H" means big engine version, "P" means biggest engine). Both PB210 and HB210 used a Datsun 610-derived suspension. Most of the parts are exactly the same as Datsun 610.

<-- wiki has the part numbers
