What kind of hp am i gonna be looking at?
Extractors and 32/36 one day, but not at the moment.
Afraid I wouldn't expect much improvement without also doing inlet manifold & carb, cam, exhaust too.

I have seen 2 slightly different sorts:
one has chamfered edges on the mushroom;
other is square edged (the later one I think).
I found this out when replacing a damaged one in my race engine. I doubt it would matter to have an unmatched set in a standard engine though.
Can't see why you'd want to replace with new unless damaged - resurfacing by cam / machine specialist is inexpensive and as good as new.

For me it was when I saw this car Marsh Coupe at a hillclimb. It was black when I first saw it few years earlier around 1987 and ran 4 motorcycle carbs (mikuni's?). I was astounded at how quick it was - up till then I thought you needed a big engine to go fast. I also worked with guy at the time who'd had a very quick light blue 1200SSS who was forever on about how great these cars were. Was then hooked - traded in my Mk3 Ford Cortina on a std B310 sedan, Worked the engine and raced it etc plus still used as daily driver. Rest is history.

Mmmm... very interesting... So Dodgeman your saying that your getting between 5.5 to 6.7litres/100k's... Thats good now days let alone back 30 years ago when the cars where built...
I always wondered how many litres/100k's the old Datsuns used... I think if people where more aware of how good they are I think there value would possibly increase with the price of fuel now days...
Need to bear in mind Datsuns were very light relative to today's cars of comparable size (maybe just 2/3~3/4 of today's weights). Around 40mpg (imp) should be easily do-able and 35mpg on sidedrafts etc if properly set-up.

Thanks,
What are the weak parts of the car.
Weak parts?? It's a Datsun - there are no weak parts. (Perhaps just check the body for rust)

If the E series has a 40mm big end vs A series 45mm, sounds to me like a simpler mod would be to off-set grind the crank pins to 40mm and gain up to 10mm extra stroke in the process?
Maybe you could then use E series con-rods (if not too long) and pistons on the off-set ground A series crank?

Hello all,
I'm new on this forum, but I have some questions about this car? I would like to buy one. I found 1 but my question is where can I find some more info on this car. How is the datsun engine?
Neat little cars which were very successfuly raced. Sedans had A10 engine. Coupe/Hatchback had A12. Model also also known as Cherry. Can't go wrong with Datsun A series mechanicals. Front wheel drive but I understand they were well regarded in their time. 120A FII Coupe PicReg Cook's 120A Racer

I have no idea what the weight difference is, all I know is that they are the bona-fide Nismo go-fast goodie.
Dodgeman - am still curious to hear the relative weights of the nismo lifters at some point when you get a chance (despite them being NLA).
