What's up, ladies and gents? My name's Nathan, and I just moved down to Tucson in June. I wanted something easier to work on other than my MR2 (and more spacious for carrying music equipment) so I picked this thing up about a month after I moved. It's a 1981 Datsun 210/B310/Sunny/whatever with a manual transmission. I originally wanted to swap an SR into it for fun, but I decided I'd rather go with a KA. I've heard it's a pretty straightforward swap but I wanted to set everything straight before I start, y'know?
I've been reading all the other 210 posts and this is what I've gathered so far in terms of what I'll need:
-a KA and tranny, of course
-H190 rear end
-upgraded brakes, probably from a 200sx
-front coilovers and new shocks and springs in the rear because everything there now is shot
Aside from that, I'm not sure exactly what else this'll entail. Will the current drive shaft work? What'll I have to do with the crossmember? Will the rear end swap be incompatible/mess with the suspension at all? Do you think my mom would approve?
Here's the little devil, by the way:
The thing is really shabby but it runs and that's all I really asked for. Electrical problems galore but I can sort those out.
Thanks in advance!
