Datsun 1200 with 1400 motor diff ratios

Post by gregs »

I have a Datsun 1200 Coupe it has been fitted with an A14 motor and revs quite high at motorway speed. What diff ratio (and from what) would the panel recommend? Cheers

what gearbox are you running?
and what wheels/tyres? this could be a factor if youre running low profile tyres on 13s.
if you have a 5spd, id keep the 3.9 coupe diff, or fit a 3.9 h150 from a 120y or b310 sunny.
if you have a 4spd, fit a 3.7 h150 from a b310 sunny.
