What a great idea to exchange information on Datsun 1200's. Many thanks for the invite and look forward to providing information and asking any questions. I own a 1200 Ute
or pickup as the Americans call them which is my daily driver.

Hi there all. Nice to have our own club now, and thanks for the invite.

You will see I have 2 sites running, the one at http://members.xoom.com/csnyders/ has been unreliable and slow lately, so I created another at http://members.tripod.com/csnyders/ .
This will be the site that will be updated at a regular basis.

I'v sold my Coupe (miss it madly!), but will shortly aquire a Nissan 1400 Ute (bakkie). I removed my A15 motor from the Coupe before I sold it, busy prepping it for the coming
Ute...

Regards all, going on December leave Friday, will be back 11 January

I will get the work shop manual from my brother, has all the info on the A12A, plus a section on the SU carbs. What I will do is scan it on and email it to you in PDF format. You will
have to wait for January though, going on vacation now.

My experience with the SU's are once they seen better days you waste your time and money overhauling them, I replaced it with a Weber 36 DCD and the downdraught intake manifold from a A15
engine.

Hello fellow 1200 lovers. I have a 1200 with a worked A15. Standard box, clutch. The diff is from a 1600 wagon. I want a better ratio and i think the center is on the way out
anyway. Any one know of any solutions for another diff center?

Hi all.

There is actually a Subaru LSD centre that will fit straight into a 1600 diff. You may want to pursue that - check out some of the Datsun 1600 web
sites for more info.

Cheers,
Martin.

The subaru diff you mention is found here in the
US on the XT models. It is an 3.70:1 R160 by Fuji heavy industries and is the same as the
OE diff in
the datsun 510 (1600) also made by fuji heavy.
This of course is an independant rear end and adaptation to a 1200 would be a nightmare...

Can anyone tell me what datsun the 5 spd with 1st
gear down above reverse came out of and how easily it is to fit
to a 1200.
