that is an awesome car.there is HEAPS and HEAPS of info on these on the web.Its called a Datsun 1200 over here. 2 door sedans like that one are very rare over these ways too.

check out http://www.datsun1200.com for loads of info.

they came standard with the A12 engine ( 1200cc pushrod motor ). and Im pretty sure it was NZ only that got SSS models.

So I should by it?Do you think I could get a 260Z engine in it?it only costs 980$

Does anyone have a good Site for Parts and stuff for an B110/1200.I`m in Norway so I have to get the parts shiped here!

well, if I were you, then Id buy it!they are my next choice of car over the P510 (1600).You wouldnt WANT to put a 260Z engine in it!I have a mate here in NZ with a CA18DET (4cyl) in his, and that takes up most of the room in the engine bay.You can fit a SR20DET in them, but they are a bit more tight fit.putting ANY 6cyl motor in a B110 would be pretty difficult, and youd have to chop the firewall back quite a bit, and then youd have your gearstick lever almost in the back seat.

I dunno what 980$ means in NZ currency, but a 2 door like that would probably go for around $2000NZ ( about $1200US ??? ) in NZ

Oh yeah, and one cool thing is, that the ute version of the 1200 is STILL being built today in South America ( or South Africa, I cant remember ), which means you can still buy BRAND new front gaurds e.t.c. for them reasonably cheap.

$980US.it`s a bit of Rust but i can weld it.I think I will buy it and maybe put a CA18DET in it.it`s going to take a while Restoring it.I have Two other Datsun Projects going :pmy 1979 280ZX 2+2and me and my father`s 1973 240Z.so I want to know if it`s woth it?

well, my opinion would be to ditch the 280ZX and buy the B110 if you'd prefer to have only 2 cars.definately dont get rid of the 240Z tho, those things are worth heaps! ( about $12000-13000 NZ in good tidy condition ).There are heaps of 280ZX's in NZ, and you can buy them real cheap.

I got my 1970 P510, and hopefully in the next week, I will be buying a KP510 ( P510 coupe....very rare! ).

well I wont sell the 240Zbut I dont want to sell the 280ZX.I love the Z cars the most so I will keep it but that dosent mean I wont buy the B110.The 280ZX is soon Finished so there is not much to do on that car.and the 240Z need`s a Paint job and a new Clutch and of course new wheel`sso i gues i have time for one more Car.

hi i was juxt cruising by the page and i was wandering if you actually bought that car. I live in the United States and I also have a 71' B110. I going to put in a ka24de motor in there. But i was wandering if u have any ideas about the back differential or rear end swap.
