6) FIND and install B210 Front Sway Bar (Help!!)

i used a bluebird sway bar on my datsun 1200 with ca18
had to remove it when i installed the sr20
i might still have it

[Bezman]

hey i would real appreciate that Shio!

[Bezman]

with my wounded leg and lack of time, i think i may actually send the car by a mechanic to get everything sorted *gassp*

the only person to touch a spanner to this car has been the guy who did the alignment.. thats not necessarily a good thing hahaha

any recommendations?

[droppa]

cant remember the guys name, but he is in D/M, i went by him with dean, he does alot of work for him and he says hes good, short indian guy, down a lil drive off the main road? my directions maybe a bit off....

[moti]

ok, enough day dreaming,back to reality, solodex coming up and I would like to get the car ready.

SO.. here is the dreaded to do list...

1) Replace diff seals & new fluid OR swap to 120y Diff (needs 120y driveshaft -> diff flange)
2) Replace front and rear leaf spring bushings, rear upper + lower shock bushings, hanger bushings
3) Replace clutch, pressure plate & release bearing (might as well get a light flywheel too eh?)
4) Install 8-10gal Fuel cell (or just install my surge tank and extra walbro for now?)
5) Install 4 Link Safety harness (gotta get that welded in)
6) FIND and install B210 Front Sway Bar (Help!!)
7) Install Tach (yes i still have no tach haha)
Install Handbrake (hydraulic)

Sounds more than doable yet keepign it on a budget. Hopefully if the track opens you can see it progress over the year. If I do have my Silvia still I will be going sown a similar route. Really wanted to get a stock S14/S15 block and build it myself along with a VE head but for my power needs I think my engine with some minor upgrades will fit the build. Keep chuggin' you'll get there.

[Bezman]

if the track really comes to be, I'll prob throw on a GT3071R instead of the GT28 or something similar and get some 660cc injectors and shoot for 350-400hp

[swift gti funatic]

thought u were goin the n/a route?

^^Looks like that spider bite was a helluva thing.

yeah breds, and it working real good, Mines ECU, the Stage 4 cams & adj gears, intake, extractors and some other stuff.. it pulls so good all the way to 8k.. mines ecu helped allot, and it sounds real tough

[swift gti funatic]

^de or ve?

[TriniGT]

Think it was a DE but had some nice parts, not sure but I may have sold him the JWT cam gears.

[swift gti funatic]

black b14 by chance?

[Bezman]

dark grey with a sr20de, looks like a pice of crap haha, but has some choice parts, coilovers etc. handles awesome too! always told him he should have never put an exhaust on it, before with the headers and stock exhaust, with the cams, it just sounded so sick, but it still sounds ok at wot, but awesome at idle. he is head, once it can take him beach as quick as possible, he cool with that looks, bleh, i dont think he wash that car in 4 years

[moti]

bez, hows the leg?


ratsun doing anything lately?

[Bezman]

hey moti, leg doing ALLOT better thanks!

the datsun, well all i did recently was crawl under it and mount the sway bar, but didnt finish as the mounts i got were wrong. I need 120y (B210) links and brackets for the sway bar

I am also really broke from the hospital bills and carnival etc.. so nothing going on until after carnival.. really need to get the car by a mechanic and let him sort out allot of stuff, cause i am too busy and have a shiet load of work to do after carnival also..

will keep ya' informed and updated!

[Ronaldo95163]

Nice work bez. BTW does your 1200 have power steering?? If not how does it handle with all that power under the hood, is it hard to turn and stuff?

[Bezman]

It's been a year since i got this lil ole car, and I have not been using it as much as I would like. a couple weeks ago I got some stuff i ordered from ebay a few months ago and forgot about haha, and i think i just located HKS clutch, pressure plate and light flywheel locally. going to mount up that and the sway bar stuff this week hopefully and put on my ebay bling soon

@hey gracen, the steering is manual with a steering box and not rack and pinion unfortunately. but i am thinking of putting in a rack and pinion setup from a ke corolla or something. the steering is really hard, especially with the wider rubber up front. but once moving at regular speed the car drives perfectly. the real beyotch is the diff, cause its welded and so BIG it really fights the car to go straight, so you gotta muscle it, especially when parallel parking, which i avoid..

[TriniGT]

Wow a year already, how time flies. Good luck with the project and keep the updates coming, I have a Blitz clutch coming for mine, hopefully it goes alright.

[Bezman]

ok spent the afternoon under the front of the datsun installing all the energy suspension bushings, as usual some fit, some didn't, biggest problem is that the new energy suspension sway bar clamp bolts holes are spaced too wide for the OE datsun bolts, only one lines up. So i either have to drill and tap a new hole, which i think it kinda impossible as its the boxed part of the chassis... the other option is to drill and weld a bolt in the hole/chassis and then use a nut to bolt it down... this will be much easier i think. other than that the end links bolted up great.. front suspension 90% sorted.

i got some nice new parts to bolt on but i am waiting on a couple more things to arrive before i bolt them all up and post some new pics, i want the kit to be complete before i post pics or even tease myself with an unfinished look... Also have a fuel cell and some longer nismo wheel studs, diff seals and some small things coming in too, need new bonnet clips, an ex manifold gasket kit, some more dynamat and some other small things... I am kinda determined to get this car back on the road in a couple weeks, but frig it gets expensive

[TriniGT]

Nice stuff, yeap the little things just all add up and before you know it you realise how much you are otu of pocket. But it beats wasting it on something else I guess at least this way you see where it all goes.

[southside crew]

Didn't mean to Hijack.. but do you all know anyone with a Old rotten 1200 pick up for sale? registered.. or good condition can work.. please Pm me..

[Bezman]
