the point of fitting the R30 rear is to get disc brakes. 180B's dont have discs, and the C110 already has an R180 so there would be no point that i can see for going to the trouble of fitting a 180B rear cradle.....Hmmm 200B SSS *might* have discs......that would be worth checking out.

perhaps a trailing a-arm off a dutsun 1600 is close, or if not at least the diff a r160 or r200 diff will be the same as alot of the datto boys have rear disc conversions using r32 skyline rear stuff if you wanna find out i can sell you the rear brakes, driveshafts and trailing arm for $350 with disc brakes!!! It works on a 1600 like a dream!!!

i meant r31 skylines...

also checked with the old man the disc and caliper isnt intregal to the trailing arm there is just a bracket that can be mounted to your trailing arm, so it should work, is the 240k 4 stud pattern?????

Also if you need good front brakes i have brand new 270mm discs with comodore calipers all modified mounted to a 180b strut bottom which can be made to suit a 240k!!!!

The amount of 1600 and 180b stuff i have im happy to part with as much stuff as possible!!!! but ill hang on to my 1000 and 1200 parts with dear life (to rare)!!

if this stuff fits a 1600 it *should* fit a C110, but im pretty certain tha a arms will be a different width....

R200 are not the same as an r160...the rear mounting braket has to be modded to fit an r200.......and r200 are cv joints, r160 is uni joint

Thanks Daniel and Jason,

i figured that the 1600 and C110 rears may be similar (seeing as many of the brake components are the same) and some pics would be a great help

Unfortunately my knowledge in older nissans is really lacking :) makes it very hard to figure out what components can be transposed onto the car, all your advice and ideas are unbelieveably helpful!

I had read a conversion faq on converting the 1600 drums into disks.. it didn't seem to hard (apart from the fabricating etc :P) i will try and find it again and see what you guys think..

Daniel, i will check out over the weekend what we already have on the front, i know we have kyb height adjustable suspension, and the brakes have already been swapped out, though i havn't looked at them in too much detail (i am 80% sure they will need to be bigger for what we are doing though)

How did I miss this one??

Yup, I'm the fool who bought the P76 V8 powered (and I use the term loosely) :D 240K.

The rear suspension in the 240K is differend from a 1600 (apart from size) in that the shocks mount at an angle, rather than almose vertical, like the 1600 does.

As V8Skylineman has said, the R30 rear control arms use a coilover setup, as opposed to the 240k, which uses a separate spring seat and shock mount. I'm very dubious about the effectiveness of a coilover setup on the back of a 240K, because of the angled shock absorbers, and the lack of height available to fit a decent coilover system in there.

The MR30 rear discs should fit in without any major mods. That's what Dave Gaines uses in his giant killing 240k rally car. I have a set of R30 control arms, complete with discs, and plan to trial fit the discs sometime in the next few weeks (will try to get to the workshop this weekend for a better look).. Once I've had a chance to do this, I will report back here.

Oh, I'm pretty sure that R200's were aalso available with Universals (in some 260Z 2+2's). All of the modern Nissans use the CV's though.

Hey, V8SkylineMan - are you still at Coomera Shores? I thought you moved down to Sydney??

good to see more 240k's showing up on the forums!

i have learnt a lot about the suspension since my original posts.. we are currently working on upgrading the rear brakes to R31 disks, then we will be eventually looking at getting an R200 in, preferably converting the rear half shafts to CV joints in the process..

finally got my hands on an RB25DE wiring loom, so we will start concentrating on getting that all hooked up, our RB30DE put together (T will come a little later on down the track), and finding a gearbox to start work on fitting the engine in the car.. then the rest of the fun begins!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
