Cheers boys :)
Nah i am unsure of the actual origins for the 56a 5 speed i have.
I brought it off a gentleman here in Canberra that has a datsun/sunny cherry F10 that he races and had it up for sale for cheap so without hesitation and in need of a 5 speed i snatched it up. I really have no idea how he come across it but i am certainly happy and willing to see how it goes.
But unfortunately had a bit of an issue today got all the braided lines into the car and decided to fill it up with fluids.
First off i decided to be a totally idiot and i have no idea why but connected the sump breathing pipe on the back right of the engine to the secondary water inlet on the front of the engine thus filled it up with water and filled the sump arrrgggg.... clearly had way to many drinks last night and was not thinking straight so i fixed all that up and blocked off the front pipe like it should and the other as the return line from the heater and left the sump breather as it should.
From there i was all good until i decided to start it.. Started fine no issues idled fine and surly pissed off the neighbours as its only got the extractors on, but to my luck i go have a look at the engine and there is this nice leak pissing out under pressure from the head gasket near the exhaust manifold so yet again dumped the fluids now not all too impressed.
Decided to say *#OOPS# crack a Jack Daniels and sit down thus to come back later. I am thinking it could be that i have not tightend the head correctly since fixing it so ill get out the torque wrench and tighten it up. If that does not work guess im up for a new head gasket.
None the less here is how it looks with the braided lines
