Yes, McGyver, no and myself are the only two club members in the US -- maybe the only two in North America period -- who are looking for a 1200 sedan. Tires aren't worth much. New they are $20 each, and the wrecking yards are full of near-new used ones (off Hondas and Fiestas).

There is a sedan in Tacoma for $600 that looks good.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to replace the axle & seal?

There is a very nice 1200 sedan in Chicago, the info is right here in this Classifieds forum.

There was also a GT5 racer for sale in Michigan. Some in St. Louis as well.

That would be a Datsun 210 (1979-1982 - body code B310). Datsun B-210s (body code B210) were model year 1974-1978.

It might have a 5-speed!

hi mistake99, thanks for checking. It's hard to find a good sedan in North America.

If the A14 is in a similar state of tune compared to the A12 (mildly worked, similar cam, etc) then you shouldn't have to change the jets. It should be very close.

And if the engines are considerably different, you still won't need to change the jets. It will probably run OK. You could then later tune it for max. power or economy.

Here's how to get exceptional fuel economy:

1. Drivetrain losses

- Use the highest gear for the speed

2. Wind resistance

- lower your 1200

3. Road friction

- Use the skinniest tires and high air pressure

And, keep your foot out of it. The vacuum gauge will tell you about this ... it's high when your foot is off the pedal, and low when you have it pushed to the floor.

I fitted Datsun 310 (N10 Pulsar) wheels on my 1200. They fit on the back, but on the front hit the struts.

mistake99, which city did you see the 1200 sedan for sale in? Can you stop by and get a phone number? Thanks.

You're right, the heavier the box, the more difficult. The clutch alignment tool should help, and sometimes lowering the back of the engine will, especially if the bell housing is bigger than stock, it will give you a little more room.

I reckon you'll have a Speed Datto once you get that CA18 in. Hope it goes well.

Hey Mely, did we see you in the relay at Salt Lake on television? Those were very exciting races.
