or is it fine the way i have it as my proflow catch can actually has a quenching plate to cool hot oil vapour and turn it into a liquid so it can be collected in the base.

Hey guys got a quick query regarding to emissions to ensure i pass

So the issue i have is quite simple but quite a pain, i have my A15 fully worked running a redline manifold with twin 45mm webber carburetors i have my crank case ventilation running to a catch can and also have tappet/rocker cover running to catch can and no return line at all just both to the catch can and vent to atomosphere via the filter on the catch can but my issue is in regards to emmisions i need a PCV put inline from the crank case and need a return to intake manifold

Now unfortunately there is physically no chance i can run anything to the redline manifold as it only has a vacuum brake line fitting which is a -3 AN and the crank case vent pipe is massive and i have fit a -10 AN braided to the catch can so my delema is without an airbox how the hell do you run a return PCV system back into the carb's to burn off these emissions

Sigh i hate these emissions rules just let me run the catch can to atmosphere

Yeah original-size should be fine for my worked A15

I think the water pump is working a little over time tho with the gilmer drive pulley being ever smaller than original size pulley

Cheers Ddgonzal ill check them out.

Yeah was going to going with a bigger radiator or even go with PWR radiator but actually costs even more than id like to spend with a quote of over $1000.00 AUD + postage :(

Yeah all good i have already flushed it all out and cleaned it up and will do a full pressure test and use the highflow bucket to get all bubbles out of the system and run through the internal heater radiator as well when i install a new radiator

Hey guys unfortunately my original radiator has shat itself and has so much gunk and toxins in it just needs to be thrown away anyhow.

My question is what is a good little aluminium radiator to replace it with there are a fair few on ebay from different manufactures but last time i brought one it didnt line up to the OE installation holes and sat actually on the chassis rail lifting the whole radiator up it was terrible so i returned it.

Can anyone suggest a brand/manufacture that actually makes a decent OE swap out aluminium radiator for 1200 ute

Kind Regards

Just curious are they all A12 parts?

Im in canberra and can pick up

Cheers Ddgonzal appreciate the help ill look into it and get it fixed up :)

Hey guys not sure who else has come across this problem but i am assuming that it is a known issue on the sedan when lowering it quite low

I have lowered my new sedan 1.5 inches and it now has perfect fitment and my wheels are perfect offset but what i didn't take into consideration is that the rear door tub rails actually go into the rear inner fender tubs completely and actually limit the travel room incredibly and now on even a small enough bump driving she scrubs on them.

Now looking at the inside of the well it looks as if i can cut them and beat them flat and reweld them back to provide the extra clearance that the rear doors have obscured

Can anyone shed some light into this further, never have this issue with the ute as it doesnt have rear doors

Hey guys i try run a Facebook page named Canberra Datsun club and manage things for the guys but there were a number of discussions around the formation of a ACT Datto car club. These discussions are always on the adgenda when a few of us get together.

Unfortunately there really are not enough of us to form a club of any real impact or size. It occurred to me that it could be feasible for us to have an "ACTChapter" of an existing club, say in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide for example.

This proposal may benefit those clubs by increasing their potential revenue and swelling their ranks with keen proactive members.

Are there any committee members on the list who may be able to steer us in the right direction with regard this issue ? I am keen to pursue this as are a few others of us. We do have some resources that could contribute to the "parent club". I have not had the opportunity to discuss this with other ACT Canberra Datsun club blokes at this stage, but more interested in putting out some feelers to determine if this is a "doable" option. There used to be a Canberra Datsun club named ‘ACTDAT’ many moons ago it would be nice to revive such a club.
