iam not back at work yet to waste my days researching this so i thought i would ask first................ i need some info on a 910 bluebird

-it has irs??? is it r160 or r180??? is there a upgrade for this??? as most likely want a lsd
-did we get a 910 with a ca20 in it in nz???
-is a l20b special?? whats the b mean???
- is a l20b auto worth anything???
-does anyone have any manual conversion bits for it???

thanks for you time

The NZ new ones where L20b with IRS and L16 and wagons where live rear end. A few imported NZ new 2 door sss coupes where L18 most imports most being Z18 Z18et or Z20.
As far a I know the L20b indicates a 4 cylinder and a L20 is a six.
I have never seen a 910 with a C20 motor
The NZ L20 cars had a R160 diffs. I would expect a import Z18 turbo would have been R180. Some Z18 and Z20 non turbos ran carbs some fuel injection. Non turbo had analogue controllers turbo digital.
Sedans used long gearbox like 610 ( 4 or 5 sp), wagons used 4 speed short box like 510 but with a change mech like a 5 speed.
Personally no auto box has much value.

I hope that helps

6 months back there was a ca20 powered 910 in pickapart

Apparently in 1984 NZ and I assume Japan moved to the similar looking front wheel drive U11 but Australia made 910's with the Ca20 motor from 84 to 86. Something I didn't know.

Then in 86 when Nissan Oz introduced the locally assembled R31 Skyline they also made a CA20 powered version called the Pintara to compete in the 4 cyl. segment with the same size car.

one more thing.......................... my diff has cv type half shafts will this still be a r160????

oh and if someone can explain to me how to put a r160 lsd into this I would really appreciate that. struggling to find a good explanation of it as they all put r200s in and I want to keep it r160 for a while as this is a budget build

R160 LSD isn't really a budget item, unless you go Viscous and you will need to change half shafts with this option.
R180 clutch LSD may take your half shafts, may be cheaper option and is stronger, (I run one in the race car with no problems). Width is about the same, if not the same.

thanks heaps, so I think iam on the hunt for a r180 lsd as they seem to be the same size then I just need to change the half shafts and away I go................
