C110 : Project 240K

[V8skylineMAN]

the point of fitting the R30 rear is to get disc brakes. 180B's dont have discs, and the C110 already has an R180 so there would be no point that i can see for going to the trouble of fitting a 180B rear cradle.....Hmmm 200B SSS *might* have discs......that would be worth checking out.

[V8skylineMAN]

Did a search for you....it appears 200B SSS didnt have discs...oh well

[0HR-30T]

just a thought...

[V8skylineMAN]

Good to see you know your older Datsuns though.

[Duncan]

yeah no discs on the 200b even SSS, but the bluebird had them.

is this the right spoiler? for back of your project 240k ?

perhaps a trailing a-arm off a dutsun 1600 is close, or if not at least the diff a r160 or r200 diff will be the same as alot of the datto boys have rear disc conversions using r32 skyline rear stuff if you wanna find out i can sell you the rear brakes, driveshafts and trailing arm for $350 with disc brakes!!! It works on a 1600 like a dream!!!

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

i meant r31 skylines...

also checked with the old man the disc and caliper isnt intregal to the trailing arm there is just a bracket that can be mounted to your trailing arm, so it should work, is the 240k 4 stud pattern?????

Also if you need good front brakes i have brand new 270mm discs with comodore calipers all modified mounted to a 180b strut bottom which can be made to suit a 240k!!!!

The amount of 1600 and 180b stuff i have im happy to part with as much stuff as possible!!!! but ill hang on to my 1000 and 1200 parts with dear life (to rare)!!

[V8skylineMAN]

if this stuff fits a 1600 it *should* fit a C110, but im pretty certain tha a arms will be a different width....

R200 are not the same as an r160...the rear mounting braket has to be modded to fit an r200.......and r200 are cv joints, r160 is uni joint

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

the diff that the discs were made to fit is a r200, i will post a pic tomoz!!!

Thanks Daniel and Jason,

i figured that the 1600 and C110 rears may be similar (seeing as many of the brake components are the same) and some pics would be a great help

Unfortunately my knowledge in older nissans is really lacking makes it very hard to figure out what components can be transposed onto the car, all your advice and ideas are unbelieveably helpful!

I had read a conversion faq on converting the 1600 drums into disks.. it didn't seem to hard (apart from the fabricating etc ) i will try and find it again and see what you guys think..

Daniel, i will check out over the weekend what we already have on the front, i know we have kyb height adjustable suspension, and the brakes have already been swapped out, though i havn't looked at them in too much detail (i am 80% sure they will need to be bigger for what we are doing though)

I'm just posting to show my support and to say that this will be awesome when it's finished. It should absolutely destroy the Fairlane's and Premier's that you usually see in races like that.

How did I miss this one??

Yup, I'm the fool who bought the P76 V8 powered (and I use the term loosely) 240K.

The rear suspension in the 240K is differend from a 1600 (apart from size) in that the shocks mount at an angle, rather than almose vertical, like the 1600 does.

As V8Skylineman has said, the R30 rear control arms use a coilover setup, as opposed to the 240k, which uses a separate spring seat and shock mount. I'm very dubious about the effectiveness of a coilover setup on the back of a 240K, because of the angled shock absorbers, and the lack of height available to fit a decent coilover system in there.

The MR30 rear discs should fit in without any major mods. That's what Dave Gaines uses in his giant killing 240k rally car. I have a set of R30 control arms, complete with discs, and plan to trial fit the discs sometime in the next few weeks (will try to get to the workshop this weekend for a better look).. Once I've had a chance to do this, I will report back here.

Oh, I'm pretty sure that R200's were aalso available with Universals (in some 260Z 2+2's). All of the modern Nissans use the CV's though.

Hey, V8SkylineMan - are you still at Coomera Shores? I thought you moved down to Sydney??

[V8skylineMAN]

, V8SkylineMan - are you still at Coomera Shores? I thought you moved down to Sydney??

did move....but i'm back........hehe

[YO880]

good to see more 240k's showing up on the forums!

i have learnt a lot about the suspension since my original posts.. we are currently working on upgrading the rear brakes to R31 disks, then we will be eventually looking at getting an R200 in, preferably converting the rear half shafts to CV joints in the process..

finally got my hands on an RB25DE wiring loom, so we will start concentrating on getting that all hooked up, our RB30DE put together (T will come a little later on down the track), and finding a gearbox to start work on fitting the engine in the car.. then the rest of the fun begins!

[V8skylineMAN]

I could be mistaken but is this a C110?

[YO880]

haha, certainly looks like it! (or it could be an early beamer?)

what movie is that from?

[V8skylineMAN]

dunno...was in a jap bluebird site

[V8skylineMAN]

http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~ATTESA/kinenko.htm couple of pages back toward the home page...in there somewhere

[Alfadog]

It's from a movie called "Special Trafic (sp) Riot Police - PC110". I would love a copy... Does anyone know if Japanese VHS tapes work on Australian VCRs?
