That was fantastic!

Great driving too. It looks like you've had a bit of practise with the back out

What modifications have you made to the ute? Looks like it goes pretty hard.

Yeah it was great. Good turn out and fantastic weather.

Decent show of 1200s, but wow, I've never seen so many 1600s in one place.

Ah Guys a 63A is an L series gearbox not an A series and no it will not bolt up without a lot of work, The A 14 Five speed you need is a Type 60A, The other five speed was the direct fifth A 12 GX Gearbox which basically had the same ratio spread as the normal A12 Four speed but with five ratios they were all closed up.

Both will be getting hard to find major parts for if you break them though and the A14 type 60 Five speed is a bit stronger obviously than the type 56.


"The 63 transmission came with A14-powered B210 (HB210 and HLB210)."

This is the same box as the one used on the L series, however it has the A series bell housing.

It'll bolt up fine.

My personal opinion would be $5000.

That's what I'd be willing to go up to if I was in the market.

Although I'm also scared of cars with shiny new paint, it could be hiding layers of bog (not saying that's the case, I've just seen people get caught out by this).

If you ask me, Holden and Ford are poor-quality Aussie garbage. And i'm 100% Australian..
Then you have HSV and FPV, and what do you know, they are exactly the same but they are terribly expensive..


You've got a point.

I would say though that the fit and finish on VF is much better than previous models, it's still not as good as say Audi or BMW, but Holden has at least gotten closer to VW in this department.

As for quality I would say that mostly steams from poorly built imports, the Cruze and Captiva and Colorado are pretty terrible in this department unfortunately. It's hoped that the newer Vauxhall imports will do better in this department.

If you are just talking Commodore though, I challenge you to find something with as good value for money as an LS3 powered RWD SS. When they're on sale they sell for $42,000!

Aren't we just discussing styling now? I don't know that I see anyone arguing...

Flatto,
That makes alot sense what you said about concept to production.
For the sake of the forum,assuming you have been tasked with developing a new 1200,Would you mind posting your sketch of a 2016 datsun 1200?


I should make it clear that I'm not one of the guys in the team that normally does the sketching, I'm involved in the team that brings those sketches to life in 3D. If you need parts modelled, animated or rendered, I'd be better off helping in those areas as they're more my forte.

If you're all wondering what a new 1200 would look like, Nissan has already done the work for you, it's the Datsun on-DO...

I just saw this come up which may be of interest.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-A15 ... e7b7ac:g:LcgAAOSwFGNWRoGc

A worked a15 with a dellow kit and t50 included in the sale. It seems to be quite a good price for what is included.
