RUNAMUCK Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Good score fella. It's a pretty solid car all in all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Also, add to your shopping list the rear diff from a 4wd primera. As I understand it, they're an R180 VlSD. With CV axles. (Get those too) since the 4wd primera are actually a primera body on a 4wd Avenair chassis, theres a decent chance the rear diff from a 4wd Aveniar will also be an R180 VLSD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Nice car , funny how you can never have just one old car Interested in the R180 conversion is it the same mounting points on the front of the diff? moustache bar? Mine has r200 mounted / comanion flanges changed / CVs etc , I just havent done the axles yet...............have been considering going smaller nugget actually Going to get creative with the welder and see how the axles go anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your car Luke Keegans old one? Or was that someone else? The R200 is a monster bit of kit behind most engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R200 is a monster bit of kit behind most engines. Not sure about jappas but when we used to modify 9 inch diffs we would always cut and weld axles. Generally only the end of the axle where the spline is was hardened, So if you cut the spline off you also cut off the hardened portion.

sr1600 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Was planning on sleeving and excessive spot welding, that way i get around a whole section of shaft being heat affected. have a set made when they fail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flauski Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 So stoked for you. Needs some 3 piece wheels and done. A mate of mine (who has owned at least 10 x 1600s in the last 20 years, a bit of an expert and still owns a fj20et one.. ) told me that when it comes to Datsun 1600s, UJ axles may be less smooth but CV axles click and fail bad when 1600s are lowered where they need to be lowered to. I'm gonna run UJ myself. I'm also gonna run R180 clutch LSD from a Subaru STI 2004. Much better than viscous. Only some 2004-2006 STI are R180 clutch type 3.9, so you need to do ya homework. See this site for total LSD conversion info. Same same as 240z and 240k. You will need 27 spline stub axles for the subaru conversion. Standard Nissan is 25. I got mine from Kameari in Japan, cheaper and better than the US equivalent that people talk about. http://www.kangamotorsports.com/blog/2016/6/18/datsun-240z-limited-slip-differential 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 When john van beek shortened @datsunboy axles, he said they were still hard enough that they needed need to be re heat treated. That car (now owned by Dan Adam's aka kids) has done untold skids/5th gear "O"s five up on 18psi. After he made it stupid low it has done a few CV's. But they're cheap and plentiful. I have a complete spare r200 CV axle conversion. And well as some spare R30 style outer companion flanges if you're looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Stoked to see another 1600 on here! I wish you speed to having it back on the road. What colour is it, red or pink? hard to tell on my screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Red for going fast. Pulled the plugs out. They are all fairly toast. Alternator was loose also so luxfab created a new tensioner. Might have to dump the fuel. It has a full tank but previous owner said it was old stuff that he added his lawnmower furl to. Who knows how old that could be. A few parts hopefully later in the week and see if it goes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yep correct. Cheapo plugs going in until its running properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
