sorry not with all the datsun numbers and models yet so is h165 the factory ute diff? what are like like with burnouts eg doing a gymkana and skidding around cones? didnt even know lsd's for them were avalible

The factory ute diff (assuming its still there, they quite often get robbed to put in sedans or coupes) is an H165. Nismo do a H165 LSD but are rare and expensive, There is a guy in oz who makes a torsen LSD for a bit cheaper or people make AE86 LSDs fit
By all accounts they are pretty strong, people in oz run them behind ca18dets for road cars and Damon runs a decent a15 with a h165 and Torsen LSD and he absolutely beat on that thing ALL the time haha

The H165 isn't unbreakable. But I've run the torque of a supercharged A15 through mine for a good while now. And it's not yet let go. I drove up to the north island last may, and did a gymkhana (And let dirty leppa enter in my car too) without fear of it going BANG!!!!! (But the noise from a flat spotted tyre did have me shitting bricks)
And there are still plenty of spare heads kicking around for when it does finally give up. And hey, the odd broken drive train component is just par for the couse really.

new parts turned up


seen this dash and thought it was cool

s13 calipers

got my column shift sr gearbox


ramtubes for intake are still being built so haven't been able to finish building engine
i emailed the guy about the torsen lsd diff in Australia and never heard back so unsure what to do with driveline
im not sure what to do with suspension and brakes iv got the s13 calipers but i currently have drums front and back what parts do i need?
does anyone know what i do for a clutch seeing as i will be fitting a hydraulic clutch system?

The easy struts to use with the S13 conversion are 1200 car or coupe ones. Or 120Y (b210) wagon coupe, or sedan.
With those, the conversion is almost bolt together.
I don't doubt for a second that they could be made to work on other struts, but those are the ones I'm familair with.

Glad the panels arrived safely, they look good on your wall for the time being
Looking forward to seeing them all bolted on.

Cheers for the parts stoked with them can you get back guards?

bought these ssr speed sharks for my ute
14x7.5 and 14x8
