Hey Linc, which album are you referring to? I've got an ugly 1200 that needs to be recognized. Tim

Thanks Dave Bloxham for your comments on my car :) I saw a pretty awsome 1200 two years ago at summernats canberra it had the roof cut off very smooth purple metalic paint with a blow big block hemi in it!! also had a full tube chasis with 4 link rear end tubbed ect !! was not registerable. I dont see the sense in building a car like that unless its going to be used. As I say they should be driven daily like its stolen :) or even better like a hire car LOL. Andrew

Let's see, we've heard about all kinds of different conceptual "ultimate 1200's". I'm thinking that we have a few ultimate 1200's already in our club. Here are my votes. For best all around performance one cannot pass up Andrew Denniss's(ca18det_man) turbo 1200 coupe. His car is a daily driver that sees the 1/4 mile, road racing, & some rally. It's probably one of the quickest 1200's in the club. For the category of best looking modified car I'd have to vote for Bob Marcy's (bobs1200) SCCA solo car. I'll bet Bob's car could out corner most 1200's in the club. And finally my vote for the best original unrestored 1200 would have to go to Knut Fossum's (dats4ever) red 1200 coupe. It's in, like-new condition with it's original tires. I know that one could come up with many more 'favourites'. Who has the best Ute, V8, electric, etc? With 300+ members in the club there will be 300+ different opinions, many with different choices than mine. I think that it would be neat to have a members vote carshow online. What favorites can you think of?

Yeah, that would be cool. I always wanted to build a 1200 street rod. You know, chopped, lowered, custom paint etc. etc. However, sanity and my wallet prevailed. It's nice to dream though.

When I win the Lottery, I will get me an 8-door stretch 1200 Limo, with a twin turbo Nissan President V8 w/ intercooled valve covers.

Are you sure of the engine designation here. I thought the RB30 was the Skyline, Patrol and VL Commodore 3 litre straight six. I'm sure I've read that it was only ever used in the Australian market. I have never heard of it in Japanese spec vehicles and definately never in twin turbo form. I thought the late model 300ZX all ran the VG30 in either normally aspired, single or twin turbo. A friend of mine has a twin turbo 300 and I'm sure its the VG30. The 1200 would be too light to run a rear engine and the Alfa transaxle is not light either with the Di Dion rear end.

I was going to say it looked like a Z18t. Had the crossflow head but no EFI or turbo. Thats why i was stumped! Anyway, got that clear. Those headers look real nice. Would have taken u quite a few days i can imagine. cya Scott Davo
