I know it's probably a long shot but as title states, looking for a set of connecting rods from an A12A with the 19mm wrist holes.

Happy to pay postage from anywhere.

Joey.

Hey guys,

The ute has collected a lot of dust since my last post. Planning on getting things moving again early next year.

I have just picked up a NOS Toyota T50 3T 5 Speed Gearbox. Pretty happy.

I'm now entertaining the idea of using forged rods and pistons since they are getting pretty cheap now.

The forged rods are $300 and come with ARP2000 bolts which saves me $60 having to buy the bolts to fit the standard rods plus the machining costs to get them modified so I may as well. Only thing is they suggest a 76mm bore. I was only planning to go out to 74mm. Not sure which way I will go yet.

JE make fully custom forged pistons for around the $600 mark. Not sure what specs I would build them to. Possibly just get them done identical to oversize OEM flat tops?

you said right there in your first post you only want to see what you're up against because one of the goals of your build is to be the best 1200 in the country.

If you don't want your car to be judged, why would you try and build the best in the country? It has to be judged!


Enough said!

Datrotor - I can read. It is obviously you who cannot remember what they have said/asked or you can't comprehend your own question.

The ENTIRE point of your post was to seek opinions of your car which you detailed in your very first post. So don't back pedal now and make out that you do not care what people think and that wasn't your point because it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

Secondly, I don't believe a single person has said that they believe the way in which they have built their car is the "correct" or "right" way nor has anyone said their "opinion" is the right way to modify a car. It's simply that, an opinion.

I don't think everyone will agree with what I plan to do with my ute either and I accept that entirely. It doesn't call for you to go calling other people's hard work and ideas "rubbish" like you have. That is just disrespectful. Bad sportsmanship straight off the bat if you plan to be competing with this car.

As Iv said before I built it how I wanted.and majority of others love the car too.i really don't care about the engine swap I'm no Datsun enthusiast nor do I really care about the brand I just like the shape of the 1200.so chopping it up and changing engines made no difference to me.to a Datsun enthusiast they probly won't like it but most people in the modified car scene love it.and that's the reason it was built.to take to summernats and powercruise and be a nice streeter.wonldnt do that that in grandpas old 1200 with plastic hub caps.no back to the point.post pics of people's thaughts on the best 1200s built :) would love to see some other really nice 1200s :)

I'd take this "Grandpa/Grandma" Spec Datsun over yours any day. I too agree with all others who do not like your car, not to my taste at all.

I find it strange that you state you are NOT a Datsun enthusiast and do not care about the brand yet you post on a "Datsun enthusiast forum" asking what competition your up against in order to determine if you have the best Datsun in Oz???

You state that you built the car to "your liking" and so if you like it then that is all that should matter. Get off your high horse and don't get offended when not everyone likes your car because we won't be the first or last group of people to think so.
