My carby needs an acid bath and a kit and i was thinking of going for the 32/36 weber option, is it worthwhile without any other mods or should i just stick to the stockie? A12 is totally 1973 spec. cheers

that was the coolest thing i've seen in quite a while. I loved the sales pitch. How do you sell a brand new/30 year old car in 2004? ask nissan SA... he he he

Oh man, its so annoying because it will drive fine for a few days, then it will deteriorate into this chugging, jumping thing and i can barely get up to 60ks, then maybe one day it will just work fine again, then it will be below average, until it goes #### again and the cycle restarts. I've taken it to the mech. and they just tuned it, cleaned the balast resistor and said, 'well it might be your fuel, use premium unleaded', so now i use bp ultimate and its ok, but alas, the problem has come back. :( and i'm pretty mad because i was just on my way to the mech today and i was half way there when it started to run good! you can just imagine- "theres a problem with my car, i know it seems fine now, but just wait!, it'll do it!"... sorry about the war &peace sized post

Perth, Western Australia- I'm looking for a good mechanic that is good with dattos? anyone know any? my regular guy just cant seem to fix my chugging problem.

thanks!

ok, i'm stupid, where's the sill panel?

my (perhaps limited) experience with vehicle rust is that it is rarely confined to the place that you can originally see it first of all! However , if it is simply surface rust - which I hope it is - it shouldn't be that hard to control. I read a book called "Car Body Repairs" by a Donald Wait, published by Gregory's Automotive Publications (repair manual No. 401) which taugh me a lot about this topic. As for a hard answer to your question, I dont know to much about cots involved, and i imagine that they will vary wildly from place to place. I'd ask to see some of their previous work and or speak to previous customers if you can. thats my two bob worth - good luck!

thats alright, I'm waiting for a guitar amp from the USA woth a grand, and it's been two months already... (looks nervous, bites nails). So yeah, i know what thats like... :)

saw these on ebay.

i'm such and ebay nerd...
they're pretty cool though!

I'd probably just be ruing the day cause i'd never have the dosh to fix it up...

I'm actually pretty happy with the 4-dr, i like the old-ladies-car-anti-street-cred effect it has on me picking up :)
