Fellow on the OZDAT list posted this and said that us 1200 drivers are welcome to, so if you are interested let him know...another fellow replied that he is thinking of starting
up a datsun club in Perth, so we will see how that pans out.....

Hi to all Western Australian listers,
It seems there are a few of us from the West on this list.
I was thinking it would be great to get a bunch of 1600 owners together in
the same place to chat, swap parts and show off our cars. I know some of you will be in the middle of working on your vehicles and
may not have a road-going 1600 currently, but you could come along anyway
(extra gold star if you arrive in another desirable Datsun/Nissan ;o)
There doesn't seem to be a specifically Datsun 1600 club in the West and I'm
not really interested in creating a formal club, I just think it would be
cool to meet up once in a while -maybe go for a drive and BBQ in the hills
or something once a month or so. I am free to do so on Sundays, if anyone is
interested they can contact me at rob@profiledigital.com

What about cars that were similar age/shape/style(but not as good as the datto) like the old toranas and *gasp* gemini coupes. Front spoilers might fit
or be easily modified.

Sounds like the Cv joints, do they chatter going round corners?

So james......how is the cam?....In yet?

Noticed 1200 race car for sale in perth...with fj20 turbo.....only
$4000....oh for spare cash.

Zoom did an article on modifying the CA18DET engine, and compared pro's and cons of turbo's
off other nissan cars.

Also Fast fours latest mag had a 1200 coupe with a SR20DET from kiwi land.....does it belong to anyone
in the club??

in oz/nz...with all the cheap 4wd imports and half cuts.....would it be worth converting a 1200
to 4wd turbo??

are there any differences made from using an oval as opposed to a
round exhaust pipe??

I have an old B/W copy of a sales brochure for the 1200 released in Oz......got a copy from a guy who worked for nissan in sydney....2 pages 300k each though, may
try to resize them.

I also found an original handbook with my datto...lots of fun to read...LOL

Michael

How low can you lower the 1200 coupe, I always thought mine was low, until going in the CA18DET mans datto missile, as well as seeing some of the race
shoots by stirlingmac?
