Fantastic input Fellas.
I do like to try and understand the hows & whys of the workings.
Should be more of this , much better than those silly bickerings that go on occasionally.

Hey OldDatsunman,
Have a look down along the side panels above the rear wheels (wheel arch area).
If the body shape is undamaged there, no protruding distortion, then the damage should be fairly easily repaired as it is local to the rear.
Dig your heels in against the insurance co., it is your car not theres, they will only be interested in the cheapest solution not the best solution.
If you can't avoid a total loss situation then insist on a cash settlement and retain the car.
Don't let them take the car and make you buy back.

Thankx again Dodgeman, I will start sniffing round for complete GX setup. If I have more queries i will post again.

Thankx also 1200RC same applies here and if you find out that you do have that manifold available yell out or I could take your offer to borrow for measurements

Thankx again

or is this just part of the wonderful world of a-series engines)

Be happy!! 'A' series are amung the top, easiest cars to work on
:HAMMER:

Thanks again Dodgeman,
I have never had much to do with L series (mechanical side ) but I would assume that the manifold would be different than tha A series .
So using L series Carby option I would need to find new? or second hand twin manifold.
If that proves difficult, as a last resort, would making one be too difficult using dimensions of GX manifold?
When I had dark hair & my chest supported my shoulders not my lungs I played lots with english bikes and old (then) cars so am quite happy with SU (type) carbys
TIA again

Thankx Dodgeman!
I have trouble asking the search thingy the right questions so don't always get the info I want.
After I posted this I went for a wander through the Treasure Cave of Datsun1200.com and found an excellent article on Carby's written up by ddgonzal.
You don't sound very optimistic me about finding a bolt on setup off a GX, I hope you are wrong.
I am a fair way off needing it as am doing up top to bottom & in to out
Thanks again

Without trying to snip someone else's thread or trying to relight the over-carbyed debate ( although I found it very informative, the tech stuff may be a bit over my head, thanks to those clever souls that put in).

I have a freshened A15 ( standard carby)going into my Ute that I would like to have twin Hitachi's on,

What sizes do I look for?

Which model cars do I look at to find a set up on?

Would like to buy complete manifold carby setup so any ideas on where & what to look for etc would be appreciated.

Will use the ute when finished for street work. (Driving Pleasure)
TIA

Don't give up Karl
when all is said and done,
more is said than done
looks like you are doing a great job, hang in there you will be glad you did

I rekon you should record your Turbo in action then burn it to a disc so you can play with that on your stez
Then when you are old & deaf you can say it was the Turbos that made me deaf not watching Nicholas's avitar

Give us a chance I just got out of the girls section
