hey, >thanks for the response, its helped me out already. But as these things >normally go I now have a few extra questions. When go for the bluebird >diffs, what other goodies should i be sure to grab to complete the >conversions. diff, lower links ( the bis the sway bar bolts to,) sway bar. brake lines up to and including the rubber hose just in front of the diff. if it is a series one diff you will need the hand brake cable from the adjuster back. if it is series 2 you will need the whole thing including handle. >I have a 1978 model 200b and I have put in a 5 speed with a standard tail >shaft for a 200b. Will i need to grab the bb tailshaft or anything like >that. yes you will need the series one bbird tail shaft, the series one is a one piece tail shaft ( no center bearing) and the series 2 is 2 piece like the 200b. the 200b tail shaft is a little long and the series 2 bluebird you can't get the center bearing to bold to the floor. For this conversion would I need to get a new master cyclinder or booster? I just used the 200b booster (PBR) and master cylinder and they where fine, although im not sure of the legality. as for driving the pedal was firmer and the bia changed slightly to the rear. Sorry I could not be much more of a help here I am currently looking at the vl calipers with a vh master cylinder on the front ( with bias valve). >Im looking at putting in a z18 myself, maybe even just converting the >existing block to fit a z20/18 head. what's ur opinion on this sort of > >swap? by the time you collect all the bits to do the the head transplant ( with turbo) you might as well have bought a z18 from an importer. its a lot less hassles ( no chasing engine bits (hopefully)), and about the same price. Not to turn you off the z18 at all, the fj is probaly just as easy to install an will have a lot more power. ( although you have to be carefull of ground clearance. ). >Heres a question for the list in general, what is the biggest engine >that >can be dumped into a dato (200b), for instance could u dump one >of those >skyline 6's into it heheh (pushing the boundaries of reality >here i know >but i just wanna know what extremes i can operate within) i have seen a 420ci v8 dropped into a 200b at the summernats. it think it even fitted between the strut towers. although the cross member was any thing but standard. The 810M's have the 6cyl L series in them, I have only seen pictures of them from america. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
