You could always try a remote booster and mount it under the dash or even in the boot. PBR make a good one look for a VH 40 or VH 44 model I have one in my (shock horror) MGB and
it works great.

Hey Midgetman,
Yep I sure did. I notched the rear of the crossmember about 75mm (3") and also sectioned the battery tray about the same so that the engine sits further back and we can run a large
winged sump. Running twin 40 Dellortos the 1460cc Datto motor is making 142HP at the flywheel. All the power is developed from some extensive head work. It runs a lightened steel
flywheel with an EXA Pulsar Turbo clutch pack through to a close ratio dogleg 5 speed. Its got 13x 9 rims and sits 75mm of the deck. With the car so low the exhaust runs through the
passengers footwell and out though the sill. It has a fabricated pedal box with Tilton cylinders and 4 wheel discs with Willwood 4 pot calipers on the front. The rear end is an English
Ford Anglia with LSD and is located by a 4 link and A arm set up and Leda adjustable coilovers. It is nearly finished now and we can't wait to give the big finger to a few MG drivers
!!!!

It's always worth checking up on stuff like this even if it's a model not sold in your country. I found a 1200 ute in England and they were never officially sold in Europe. I almost didn't
check because I thought the seller had just got his facts wrong. He said he had a small Datsun pickup that was about 1200cc and was registered in 1981...uh? The only trucks we got here were
620 and 720 and you could hardly describe those as small. (well...maybe in the US you could) My curiosity got the better of me, went to see it and was totally amazed to find a 1200 ute! Just a
shame it's very rusty

Either down or side drafts, as i havent decided which i'm using yet.
if you know of any, email me at
lump_a_charcoal@yahoo.com.
thanks, Linc.

Im looking for a replacement diff from my little 1000, the original has taken quite a beating from the A14 and is on the way out, does any body know if there any datsun LSD conversions?,
or would I have to go for a different make(im looking for a relativly easy one to install).
While the cars off the road for the diff, Im, goinf to replace the Drums at the front with dics (from the 1200) has anyone done a conversion like this b4 with the transverse leaf
suspension on the 1000? any info at all would be helpfull, as everyone ive talked to has said "too hard mate".

thanx

Eddie,
To bad on the 5 speed. I have 3 in my garage (not for sale). They are fairly easy to come by in the states. I am not familiar with side drafts but if you check my pictures on the
Dual Down Drafts, you can see the intake that I made. I think it would be a lot easier for me to fabricate a side draft intake than a down draft. Look forward to seeing some pics
of your coupe.

Cheers Ernie. I haven't got them here yet. I was very keen to get these as they are impossible to get here. I particularly wanted these as they had the factory filter. I want them for my
coupe, which I want to look as original as possible. I'd kina like to make it as near to Japanese GX5 spec as possible...still searching for a 5 speed though. I'll upload a couple pics
of my coupe soon. Do you reckon a single DCOE or IDA weber would be much good on an A14?
Eddie.

Thanks for the info!

I had found a way to mount the 1488 motor, using the 310 exhaust manifold and a slightly-notched A14 - B210 oil pan, such that the frame didn't have to be modified. But then my
GX SU's didn't fit under the bonnet. So I'm thinking of relocating the center section forward.
But the Datsun driveshaft bolted right up to the MG rear, even the rear flange mated perfectly!

Your car is a lot more serious than mine... Got any pics?

Thanks!

Hey ratdat,
Did you get your dual sidedraft intake and carbs that you bought off of ebay? I saw your bid but did not want to out bid you. I finally got my dual down drafts on my car and
they run great. See the picks on the photo page.

Hey did any other North Island Kiwis get to the Classic racing in the weekend? You guys missed some good racing and excellent weather. There were 2 1200 SSS sedans and Pikey's 1200 coupe
as well as 2 1600SSS and a few 240Zs. Highlight of the day was Julian Hardy's super deceptive 1200SSS giving a MK 1 Ford Escort RS2000 a real hurry up in one of Sundays last races. Despite
giving away 700ccs to the Ford the Datto was right on the Escorts arse to finish 2nd. It was great to see the standard looking car on 2 wheels full noise through the infield esses. The
weekend left me sunburnt and fired up to get my coupe back out for the summer season. I have taken some pics and will hopefully post them soon.
