Why they called it a 200B I don't know. I think it had a 1900cc motor.

Yep that's the one, only available as a grey import too Australia.

Hey! the front rotors were 9" and fitted straight onto my 1600.
That and a (dare I say it--) 120y brake booster made my day!

It was actually a new block (about 25mm taller) to accomodate the longer stroke. The head has a larger combustion chamber too. But essentially the same engine.

The 240K brakes were the ones to have. Slightly larger (9.5" i think) with twin piston calipers. Still bolted onto the 1600. That was the best part of the old Dattos - all the parts are interchangable.
My 1200 coupe has Stanza balljoints (the big ones - there are two sizes) so that the 240K steering arms an struts bolt straight in. Fitting the L20B and 260Z gearbox wasn't as straight forward though.

yep,, the SSS 200B had the 9.5's too,,
my 260 mated fine behind my L20,,,
??



replaced several slave cylinders before going to ceramics,,

with 30" tyres the 5th speed was a waste(even with the 4.6diff)

you could get a 5.1,,(must have been awesome with 14" wheels)

forget where that came from--



edit;

Doh!

into a 1200!!!
mate, the 260 use to knock on the tunnel in the 1600!!

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's tight. Never hits the tunnel though. Probably due the the very rigid engine and gearbox mounts I've made.
