Yes right hand drive.

Cool, I'll check out the nissan champ bakkie dashboard, and see if I can get that easier.

It is damn near impossible getting 120Y parts here in Cape Town!

I thought about the 1200 but wasn't sure if it would fit. What I am really hoping for is if there is another car that had the same dash as a 120Y so I wouldn't have to shorten it, and could just replace like for like.

As for the B210 lol!

Is there any other dashboard besides the one that comes with the 120Y that can fit into a 120Y? I have been looking for quite some time for a 120Y dashboard but cannot source one.

I would be grateful if you could let me know, as it may be easier to pick up a dashboard in a different vehicle.

Would the old Nissan bakkies have a similar dashboard?

Would a Datsun Stanza rims be suitable?

Hi guys

I have 13" rims on my 120Y at the moment, but they need replacing as the rust has developed and therefore the tyres are not inflating correctly. I went to Tiger Wheel & Tyre (RIM shop) and enquired about buying a new set of 13" rims, but was told that the rims that they stock (for modern day cars) will not fit onto my 120Y, and that I would need an adaptor plate fitted. I don't really want to go down that route, so can anyone suggest what type of rim I can fit straight on, or do I need to go the adaptor plate route?

It is extremely hard to find parts here in South Africa, but any comments are greatly appreciated.

Also, I attempted to have the rims repaired, but seeing as they were stell, the shop couldn't give me a guarantee, and basically told me it would be more beneficial if I sourced new rims.

Thanks guys

I believe the GA16DE is a 4 cylinder engine, and the SR20 also.

The GA16DE can produce bhp around 110-115 I believe, and the SR20 can produce a bit more than that, but I am looking for around 120-130 if I go for that option

Well, I was doing a bit of research last night in regards to a potential engine change, and have profiled a couple of engines that seem to be able to fit nicely into the 120y, and was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind giving your opinions?

The first was a GA16DE and the second an SR20. The Sr20 should definitely give it a boost in power, although a few things will need to be replaced to enable the car to handle the much higher bhp. The GA16DE is a bit more down to earth.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I'll certainly have to get it looked over completely, and repaired. Thanks for all the advice and help. I'm not that mechanically minded that I could have sorted this out on my own, so thanks again!!

Could be a long overhaul! Wonder if I could get that American TV show "Overhaulin'" all the way out here to South Africa!!!

Many thanks for the info, and I shall get around to looking at replacing the rings.

Any ideas as to why the power is being bled elsewhere though, during acceleration?
