I had a shaft made for a CA18DET box to Borg Wargner diff I used a drive shaft company to make mine based on measurements I took (flange to flange/inlet). They used the yoke off the original S13 tail shaft which I took from the donor car and made the rest to suit. Being a Borg Warner diff it was easy to get new parts as it is same as Commodore, if you are using the standard 1200 diff you may have to use the old diff flange as well.
I had a thick wall shaft made to handle high HP, it was only 1100mm or 1000mm long from memory and had all new unis etc. I paid $600 for that shaft and it was ready in about 2 days.

I think compliance plates were introduced in 1970 or 1971. So probable your cars were built before then. Are there two vacant holes about 100mm apart on the bulkhead or inner guards for 3mm rivets? That could be a clue as to whether or not there were compliance plates.

That photo is not of the aussie compliance plate but the manufacturer plate. This is what our plates are like https://www.privatefleet.com.au/glossa ... at-is-a-compliance-plate/

Quote:Irrelevant to the question of compliance plate. Even foreign-manufactured vehicles were given compliance plates


Quote:Yes compliance plates started in 1969 ... but i think someone said 1200s didn't get them until 1972? They are safety-related plates, not build date/manufacturers plates. See AUS Compliance Plate


If your B110 was Australian-assembled it would have had this manufacturer's plate:



Japan-built 1200s got a manufacturer's plate but it doesn't have a dates. 1200s sold in USA got yet another plate (with actual build month) riveted to the driver's door jamb

Nissan Japan has build-date records of the car number. Given the Car Number, they theoretically could tell you the approximate build date. However they may not offer this as a service (maybe they won't do it) or maybe you communicated with the wrong department. Their historical records/literature department may be more helpful. See Serial Numbers

Quote:Yes, also use cam assembly lube and proper cam break-in procedure

Quote:Yes, you must use A12 pushrods with A12 block. The A14 pushrods are about 15mm longer and so will not fit (A14 block is 15mm taller than A12 block)

neither car has a compliance plate, were these actually made/assembled in Australia ?
did they fit compliance plates in the early 70's

That may also indicate date of compliance to Aus standards.

The date of manufacture should be on the compliance plate under the bonnet on the passenger side.

To the community, a plea.
I have imported 2 1200 coupes into UK from the fair country of Australia (cheers chaps). I did actually live there , It’s a long story but in order to register them I need to prove their date of first registration or manufacture. I have no pre import registration documents from the mother country (Australia) and I have sought info from Nissan Uk, Nissan Japan and Nissan Aus. All have been no help. Both cars have original Vin plates and matching numbers. The DVLA will only accept OEM info or from a recognised source, any ideas?

hI!

Can i use new standard lifters on my actual cam with 20 houres of use?

I set up on my A12 block with a12 pushrods a A14 Gfu cylinder head, can i use the A12 pushroads?

Thanks
