i'm flying from perth, i think that sums up my costs!

i bought a house 6 months ago and i tell you i'm pulling out all financial stops to save as much as i can it's a case of whatever is in the change tin is spending money..... i'll be there god willing, but it's still a bit steep i paid $60 for my last work christmas function and got beer wine and soft drink included but i'll still pay it it's a pilgrimage......

see you all there no excuses!

Grunter i hope you are bringing this down on tuesday night for us all to marvel at and for myself to take notes.....


looks awesome mate i can't believe i missed most of this thread...

thats a bit of a shame man, moving on up to bigger things?

Auto 180B's have a shroud, shouldn't be too much different nothing some cable ties can't fix!

well if by front rotor conversion you mean disc front end and a spare engine with 5speed so you have 2 5 speeds? then $2000 wouldn't cover the disc conversion and the 2 gearboxes, looks great! be sure to check out the Perth datsun club we have a meet every month and go cruising, it's a great little community we have all details can be found at www.ozdat.com/forum

welcome aboard!!!!

Congrats dude, do you have a link to the ebay shop? or your own website?

i think a little news is great about what you have accomplished!

any chance you could email me some pics of the 120Y gear you have going at the moment?

why wait until now to have a dig at him "advertising" such a fvcking crock! just get the hell over it, it's a venture to help people out on this forum, what hasn't he made any 1000 bits yet, go shove it sad man.

Keep us all updated as to where you are with this!

most book exchanges have an auto section just look around or look on ebay they reguarly pop up in there, fill in your location so we can help you out better with locations of things...

also check out http://ozdat.com/forum we have a regular monthly meeting to hang out talk datsuns trade parts and generally help out and go on cruises. i have the same nick as here.

if you ask in the WA section on ozdat there might be someone with the pages you need and can scan them for you...

the first thing you should do is get a workshop manual for the engine and one for the car they are about $10 from a second hand book shop, get a vanette book for the engine and a 1200 book for the rest, it will be invaluable!

an immobiliser would be a good start, maybe a pit bull in the car overnight, the rotor button is a good idea, (who carries one of them around while hunting for a car to steal) put a sticker on the steering wheel mentioning that you don't want to do another life sentence but if you have to you will. or sit in the dark with a baseball bat and see if they come back and if so hit them, it's a very good deterrent.


i was working on the verge of my old house under my old 180B and had some guys come past and yell some abuse so i stuck my head up they stopped and got out "young tough guys all 5 of them" i picked up my 4x4 temp wood crossmember put it over my shoulder as i stood up 6'5" and they all ran back in the car. big lumps of wood are good deterrents.....

but the steel loop in the floor is a good idea i'm going to have a couple of those in my shed for my motorbikes...

i know this is an old post but i think it will help some people out, this is the best bit of printing i did when i got my weber, so simple to get it running....
