Hey guys, Please help.

My g\sticks bushes are ####ed,
yesterday when I opened up the stick, I noticed that there is a size 10 bolt and nut which runs through the bottom of the stick, IS THIS THE RIGHT TYPE OF SET UP? I dont think so.
What is the name of this pin, part no anybody?

Hey DD, do you have a pic of this pin.{anybody}
Cause, its no use buying the plasric bushes from the agents if I dont have the correct setup on my G\stick.

Oh GXMAN, these bushes are really cheap in JHB, only 35 bucks from the agents.{3 of them}

Cool, now I understand much better.
Thanks DD.
Excuse me for being a bit blonde.

Ya man.

That 1200 with the straight six motor, has probably a l28, l26 engine in it.
These type motors come mainly in the Skylines, laurel, zx's, 260c, 240c,280c mainly here in SA.
Hower could also be a 2.0 turbo, but unlikly, these motor were never manf in SA, maybe imported.
Believe me thats major mods, something I would never do to my car though, these l28 motors a bloody long and this guy had to cut through the metal and hav some of the motor sit inside the car.
So you say that the g\stick is right next to his hip, damn.
Believe me these boxes came with l28s are bloody long, I know, my GTX has one.

Has anyone out here on the site tried putting in a Toyo 16valve motor in the datto, I'm sure it will work, not only is it a bit smaller in size than that of the Sentra ones, but I think also a bit lighter as well.

What I meant was,
How would one attain 0 to 100kph quicker?.

A mate of mine had an a14 bakkie, his g\box broke down, he then put in the 1200 g\box from his older ute and said that he noticed a drop in power on take-off.

What I'd like to know simply is,
having the 1200 std block with an a14 head, would it be better to put in an a14 box, or doesnt it really matter?

Excuse me for my ignorance, but this is the first 1200 I've owned, previously it was toyos, fords and mazdas, which I've owned and noticed that a g\box can make a drastic change in power.

Howzit bro.

I'm sure looking at this, made you just wanna say, "I WANT THAT, NOW" and thoughts of maxing out the credit card came to mind.

Oh guess what?
Whilst I was in Durbs this weekend, I was told about this indian bloke whose running a 351 motor in his 1200 delux, boy was I curious to see what it looked like, he lives not far from folks place, I wanted to check it out.
I managed to get his address, but unfortunately, when I got to his place, he and car wasnt at home.
Although dissapointed about not seeing the car, I managed to call him that night.
The car if fitted with the V8.
This cars firewalls had to be dented in, to get the motor fitted, he runs a chevy g\box, some other ford diff, I think a piranha one.
Engine bolts need to be tightened on this motor every month.
He tells me, that I should call the next time I'm in Durbs, so I can have look at this v8 beast a go for ride..
He didnt want to tell me the top speed he attained on quater miles, but asked that if I had seen the 325is in his yard. I said yes,
and then he told me that a {young spoilt rich brat}youngster wanted to try him out 2weeks ago with the BM and 1200 datto.
So he took the challenge and stakes were raised, PINK SLIPS.
Only without any effort, kicking the BMs ass.
I didnt ask further

By the way, he has a few cars ,BMW325is, a Ford Ranchero, and mercedes Slk, but the only time he uses the DAtto is on weekends. Mainly for the Sunday Drags.

I had this problem once, turned out to be the ignition switch being faulty.
Theyre definatly not the strongest switchs around.
The key might seem that it is turned off, but it wasnt, the contacts on the inside were faulty.

Let me get this clear,
Having an A14 head on a a12 block wouldnt help better the take-off speed, but only top ends?
Another thing DD, which is the better option?.
Once one has the a14/a12 head swap, will it then be better to have an a14 g\box as well.

Yo.

Firstly did you make sure the surface was free from oil substances before spraying on the primer.
Oh, if I were you, I would use paint stripper, get right down to metal and then primer.
Another thing, here in SA, we have a primer called MS PRimer{filler primer}, it'll help save time in regards to body prep, ie before painting. it gets rid of tiny marks etc, instead of using to much of spot putty.

Hope this help.

Yo dude,converted
This did cross my mind, about the tyre been ####ed, but again, I dont think so.
Woudnt I be noticing the shudder all the time.
Like I stated earlier, this shidder occurs periodically{now and then}

Nope, pro-240c.
I havnt had the w\bearings replaced.
I dont think that could be the problem, cause, theres no hum or shudders at high speeds.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt it a sign of w\bearing wear, especially if there's a humming \winding sound whilst in movement.Where are all the Dattomatsers on this one?
