Hi i recently got three set's from pedders so they are still available new.

Hi,

I'm looking at gettiing some 'Datsun 1000' badges cast up new as my best one is in three pieces. I also will be getting some 'Sunny' and 'Sunny 1000' too anyone else interested they should be around $20 a piece plus postage.

HI there the part number you need to ask for is BJ89 for upper and BJ91 for lower, they should still be readily available just probably not listed in the newer parts books! I find having a couple of the older repco parts books really useful for reference purposes as these list the part numbers for a lot of older cars not covered by the parts books these days! Last time a quoted on the through HIlls Automan (Autopro) they were about $30 each

It's time to clear a few cars from the stable! unfortunatley none of them are datsuns! up for sale in the not too distant future are:
1975 mk1 ford escort 2-door sedan 1300xl auto all original and tidy no rust! 132,000km from new greta to restore to origianl or rebuild to rally offers about $2500 or if i do the head $3000.
1968 Hk Holden Premier Sedan 186 with powerglide, 82,000 miles from new superb condition interior, needs work on the exterior ie rust cut and paint, offers around $3000
1970 HG kingswood wagon lowered boiling and leaking trimatic! surf car or shooting bus? offers $500 or both holdens with all of the holden parts i have for $4500

Hi,
I just had my 1000's auto box rebuilt and the difference between the "a" and "b" is that the "a" has a notoriously weak diaphragm spring on the first clutch which was strengthened for the "b" boxes. Mine was broken into three peices and it cost me $600 to get a chrysler torqueflyte one machined to fit! total cost of the auto trans rebuild due to damage from a neways additive: $1250.00.

But the auto rebuild bloke recons that these are still one of the best auto's around!

Hi Shaun,

you'll need to run a new live feed with inline fuse straight from the battery to the yellow or red memory/ constant power feed and you can hook up the old power to the other red or yellow positive in or acc in on the new unit, earth is straight forward. Although I'd advise to upgrade it to a larger gauge wire and speaker wires are straighforward too, although again upgrading the wire is always a good idea especially when putting in new speakers! best of luck i had a wicked stereo in my wagon but it got rolled b4 christmas.

Hi,
I've been told of a place off of south road near the cross road overpass that'll make them custom for about $60 a side and $45 for the rear. gonna get some made for both of my wagons and my sedan, poss the coupe too! I'll try to find some more info in the near future for you!

I don't know if TRX will fit but i do know that early skyline/240K rims and mags have the correct offset and are 14" and do fit. I'm putting some bluebird gold hotwires on my new wagon the rears will fit on a wagon but i dont think you'll have as much luck on a sedan!?

Hi I'm back after a unexpected silence,

But i need a bit of help, Ive got three of my 1000's in the Bay to Birdwood and I snapped one of the studs on the back of the left hand tail light on my wagon as I'm painting it. I need just the shell of the short wagon taillight! as i have a couple of lenses but i need it this week!

can anyone help me?

Who else is going on the bay to birdwood?

D,

let me know how you go with the early vb10 tailights as I'm after a set, I,ve apparentely bought a couple of sets but they are stuck in Japan for a little while longer???? so I'll let you know if i have a spare set.

Dodgeman,

i have a spare front bumper for the coupe I can't remember the condition but i think it is pretty good if you are interested.
