we will use the stockies for the event (as we have 6 of them)

Ok, cos ive got 5(maybe 4, yardbird wants one) of these that would give it an authentic look.

Although mine have this7874symbol-thumb.jpg skyline symbol rather than the datsun D

I still love that bonnet :D

any ideas what type of brakes were fitted to this?

I am starting to look at bigger brake upgrades, especially trying to turn the rears into disks instead of drums.. anyone have any ideas?

i think the Datsun 1600 might be a similar set up (drums) so i may need to check it out on the 1600 side..

Fall down and worship the 1600Master (me)

what you wanna know?

1600 rear susp is identical to c110.....except that it has an R160 diff.

by identical i mean the design....obviously its narrower.

Stewart Wilkins Motorsport(02) 45772400 make a rear disc conversion for the 240z/260z...may also fit the C110. Call them to confirm.

Quote SWR website "Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit suits 240/260Z $1,262.80"

Also the Stanza SSS 5speed (quite strong) is a direct bolt on to the L24e it is the short gearbox so im not sure of the fitment to C110.

Use a navara flywheel from the z24( i think) its heaps lighter...

Or....mr30 rear end would be heaps cheaper than dr30 for disc brakes

or....

Volvo discs fit the stud pattern and are a suitable offset...all you have to do is make up caliper mounts

so the MR30 rear definantly fits? i was going to go down that path and then was told that it wouldn't, so i gave up on that idea!

basically i am looking for a easy cheap way to upgrade the rears (since putting the RB30DET in is probably not a good idea on the current rears). the more they magically fit the better :D

thanks for the help, much appreciated..

I'll do some measuring of the mr30 rear clip i have today for you, just to be sure. the only problem i foresee is that the shockabsorber mounts are higher and slightly forward compared to the C110.....if you're using coilovers this wont be a prob( i think) as you could adjust the height to compensate.....leave it with me....Ill post again about 3 O'clock.

the advantage of the mr30 rear over say a c210 or c110 is that they have cv joints, so you wont have to mod your R200....

Fantastic, can't wait!

Oh and if it isn't any trouble, if you have easy access to a digital camera, some pics would be nice too :P

we only have coil overs for the front (rears wouldn't fit the current set up), but i am sure that it can't be that hard to source :D

Here is your measurements.

front mounts center to center = 1023mm

rear mounts center to center = 320mm

rear mount center line to front mount center line = 650mm

disc to disc(wheel mount face) = 1440mm

...and some pics

pic one is the shock mounting position on mr30

pic two is the pains i go to for SAU members

pic three is entire rear clip with measurements

fantastic!

i think i definantly owe you a beer for that effort :P ! (still can't work out how the camera / tape measure attacked you so badly though )

i will measure up our rear over the next few days and see how they compare, i looked up the control arm bush codes, and they seem the same, so fingers crossed it will.. i assume we just need to modify the top shock mounting position then (?) and we should be away! (of course i know that won't be the case!)

i assume that these R30's wouldn't be the easiest to track down though, will have to finally pull my finger out and head to a couple of wreckers i think!

thanks again, that is a HUGE help to me!

I just thought of what could be a major prob with this rear clip retrofit.....R30 springs are on the shocks and are probably far to big in diameter to fit in the C110 shock towers....coilovers may even be out of the question....unless of course you are willing to weld in some c210/r30 shock towers.....

Hmmm......i think this will be your only dilemma.....

Be very careful swapping semi trailing (A arms) between disc brake and drum brake R30 rear ends . I've seen people do this and wind up with massive toe in/out changes . To convert drum to disc most use the drum brake crossmember and A arms , simply drill and tap the old backplate holes oversize and make a caliper mount plate to bolt on . DR30 calipers are good because they use larger pistons . If you can't get these MR30 will do just mount them further out from the center and use DR30 discs .

Can't work out how the camera / tape measure attacked you so badly

It didnt....when i dropped the rear end out of the car for your photos the whole thing slipped and the diff housing hit my hand which was on the cement floor....squish

MR30s are a dime a dozen, I paid $180 for mine....its the 5door hatch one I don't know if they came in sedan or wotnot.......I see more of these than dr's!

Oh yeah and like disco said dont just swap contol arms...i meant for the whole rear to go in.....but those shocks are a worry

Guys,in referance to the rear springs mounting between the arm and the body discussed in the other thread....If the R30 rear end turned out to be a hassle,how about a 180B Dato rear cradle? Their springs mount on the lower A arm,and to the body...I don't know any measurments for them,but a 180 rear end with a nice R180 LSD would be nice! :P just a thought...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
