Hi guys, Just a quick update on my Datsun.
I did not end up using the engine you see in the pictures I ended up rebuilding my original engine which was in better condition.
I done a compression test about 2 weeks before I pulled the Datsun off the road and the comp tested really good 150-160 psi.
When I begun to pull the engine down the first thing I noticed was my rings were completely shattered the car had been driving fine though.
I brought the majority of upgrades from a forum member Pete MYB110 And I also brought a rebuild kit from Bige from this forum.
Here is a list of what I done to the original 1200.
A14 oval port head, double valve springs, New bottom end, High lift street cam, Over size Flat top pistons had some fly cuts machined to run with larger cam, Block was cleaned Shaved and bored out to run larger pistons, Electronic ignition, Extractors 2.5 inch exhaust, Hi tech extractors, excedy clutch, Webber 32/36 carby.
I think that's about it. I have to say I would not of been able to do this without Pete's help Firstly Pete is a wealth of knowledge and has some crazy Datsun engines that he has built himself so I knew I was in good hands. Pete ended up building my engine for me and helped install it today.
I had a bit of a issue with the machinist when he machined my pistons and he made a couple of mistakes Bige went out of his way and helped me out with two more pistons. Bige's customer service was amazing and I will have no problems recommending his services.
Anyways The engine started up straight away and it sounds AMAZING with that cam it sounds just like a rotary and runs really smooth but really lumpy on low revs :)
So I just wanted to say a big thanks to these two guys for all their help that they have given me.
I will post some pics up tomorrow.

Really happy with the rebuild kit, very good quality parts. And a fast friendly service :)

Just paid for mine :)

Looks good, great price too :)

I thought that it only needed a engineers cert if it required any modifications to be made to fit the motor.

Yes they are as you requested I will get some spare time during the week to get a postage quote for you.

Hi Guys I have some 1200 parts here which I will not be needing.
1 Head complete was being used until recently, I checked the valves & bowl with fuel and no leaks, always ran perfectly $40.00
1 Head with the rockers off in not so good condition has been sitting a while would suit a recon $20.00
1 rocker cover needs some pain $30.00
1 Carby was in constant use until a couple of months ago again always ran perfectly $40.00
1 Air filter not sure what I have done with the actual filter $30.00 I will keep on looking for the filter but it may not come with one if I cannot find it.

I would prefer pick up as I do not have any spare time during the week to post but if postage is needed we could sort something out.
I live just outside of Tweed Heads which is on the QLD/NSW border.







Thanks

I am about to start building a A12, I have a few goodies lined up to build it with.
But it makes me laugh to myself when I think that even with the performance mods my wife's 1.6 rusted out corolla will probably still be quicker.
But hopefully the A12 will sound nice.

I really like the early Coupe grille!

Hi guys I have a webber 32/36 that I want to sell it comes with manifold air filter throttle linkage.
Its ready to bolt onto A12 I have been useing it for the last few months and its never let me down.
Looking for $150.00 pick up preferred.
Thanks
