Re: Datsun 260c

Nothing dodgy, not like before. :? have you got any photos of the steering box mounted? i have some parts, just want to s...

Re: WANTED Z16 ENGINE OR L SERIES

I always thought they were the same. the NA has more emissions shit on the carb etc.
Physically the same motor, but check with someone else as i could be wrong

Google images say the same!

Re: SR20DET into a U11 Bluey

yea you want to use the u12 sr20 manual gearbox. i have never seen a manual u13 one. if you can get the whole u12 sr20 bluebird you will be able to do it easy as the loom and computer will fit. If you use the u13 loom and computer you will have to chop a hole in the firewall for it to fit through. Y...

Re: Datsun SG 720 Diff Ratio

have you got 4 or 5 speed now?

also, long or short tail housing? ill find you some photos tomorrow of what to look for.
If you already have a 5 speed, then you will need to change the diff, or maybe find a gearset from a late 280zx with the 0.75 overdrive top gear.

Re: Choices: Suggestions wanted

you can get a rwd 5 speed column change to fit. You need to do a bit of mix and match but its not too hard. Im 75% through converting my 3 speed manual column wagon to 5 speed. I have used mostly early d21 navara z16 parts. with an L series bellhousing. You could use the sr20 front housing, and inte...

Re: Datsun 260c

Nice. You going to swap the sump around? you will need a rear sump if you want to drop straight in. You cant buy them any more so will have to chop and weld. also, from memory you will need a different starter to clear the steering box. My brother in law found one in the back of a van at pick a part...
