Laecaon Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 if you are asking this sort of question I have little faith in this succeeding. all z car rear ends are wider than your car. Also you will have to figure out all our own mounting. More commonly 510 sedan rear ends are fitted to wagons. As the sheet metal lines up decently. Quote Link to comment
russaroll Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I don't know if it was ratsun or another site but, I saw a thread where someone did an irs set up on a wagon. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes but it was a sedan IRS swapped into a goon and as close to perfect fit there is. An incredible amount of engineering, fabricating and work. Lots or welding. It's gets lots of kudos for the achievement but I doubt it runs much better. swag... find a sedan IRS and bolt it in... done. Quote Link to comment

Etc. i weld so no Problem for me n i work at a Cnc Shop. so i should be able to Fab it up but I'm just trying to figure out if Z is the way or 510 Rear end. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 A wagon rear end would be the best. First and foremost it fits without complicated modifications whatever, and for very dubious results! There is zero chance of a butchered goon being scrapped. Second it's an H-190 which trumps the stock sedan's R160 and also the Z car's R-180 for strength. Third, the 240z's rear brakes are no better than the 510 sedan's. In fact the 240z rear brake drums will fit the 510, they're the same but with aluminum fins on them.Welding and CNC are no grantee of, or easy success with this.Please have the sense to read and look at this... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/13067-70-wagon-irs-swap-project/ Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I like 510s. all of them. I seen more lost to Painless wire harness install/sr20conversions ect... . Never finnish and guy is never to be found again on any Datsun website. My list would be huge.of people that failed. Nothin in life is easy. even if u have done it 20 times. still a lil hard. No this is called a idiot after 20 times!!!!!!!! We are not stopping you form building this. You have the rear end out in a few hours and have a non runnning car taking up space for years while you figure this out but OK. Since your motivated the rear diff should be out by 2 moro. Ok give ya till the weekend. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 If this was EZ the Realm guys would have done it already. clocks a ticking. I seen Jeff Hino(icehouse) and Franks IRS swap up close. on a wagon. They found a spare smashed 510 sedan and grafted the rear part on to the wagon then sold the car for cheap. (Relative) They wont do it again they said Quote Link to comment
BigBopper805 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 look up Super low IRS Wagon build (LaidoutRivi63) he did it and looks sweeet Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The stock solid H-190 rear end fits!!! Attempting an IRS is simply getting the same results but doing it the hard way. Not unlike picking your nose with you left foot. Quote Link to comment
