hey guys,

i have a 1978 datsun 160j sss violet with a solid rear end and I'm looking for another diff head for it?

is there any other diff heads that fit this model?

if anyone has one out there i am willing to buy it etc etc

also anyone have any windscreen chrome along the bottom of the windscreen, chrome trim on the left hand door along the bottom of the window and pretty much and other parts that would fit this car i could be interested in

cheers!

I thought the 160js shared the same floor as the 1600 and had the irs rear?

is it a 710, or an A10?
If it's an A10 with a solid rear axle, (or even 710 sedans had them too so I believe) then it's an H165. Should be the same as a 910 wagon, L16 powered 910 sedan, Early C20 vannette (round headlight model I think?) and datsun 1200 ute. (Must be ute though)

There should be a tag on the firewall which will have the chassis code and what motor is has etc

i tried to read the tag and all i could get was a P i can't tell if it is a 7, it almost looks as if it goes P410 but if not its a P710

after looking around on google I've come to the conclusion it must be a P710 as the cars look similar but i still cannot find the same shape and style as my one?
