Hey everyone,
I'm selling a rolling shell (82' 1200 ute).

$200 including the diff.

If I don't get any interest in the whole thing I am pulling out the diff (which will be up for sale for $150)and sending the body to the wreckers/scrap metal.

The body is in ok condition can be fixed up but requires alot of time, the guy who I bought it off started some panel beating, I will be uploading pics of the ute into my member photo album.


PM, or email or SMS or ring me on 0421907222.

I'm located in SEQLD

I won't be keeping this shell for much longer so first in best dressed.


Cheers

thats some good pics, the second movie is of Jack's ute which is a memeber on this site and I believe it's up for sale for $13000 as advertised on ozdat.

does the ute support a toe bar form factory? Or do u have to dril holes etc???

i would of went if it wasn't sooooo far to drive considering the price of ultimate these days it is getting a little expensive.....

But I'd be keen on another cruise but a little more local.

no worries mate, jump on Limewire or the likes, and seach for S13 manual, it gives you a complete service guide to the CA18DET so you will just need to disregard the turbo info.

It has a complete CA18DET wiring for the coil packs, if you wanted to go completly external aftermarket coils you just have to relocate the wiring in which is damn easy, they all share a common +ve and the negative is trigged from the ECU through an ignitor which then goto the coils.

yeah gearboxes dont like not having spigot bearings, my stumpy skyline box went bang as the bearings in the box gave way due to the enormous axial play, thus smashing 2gear to pieces.

I got mine for about $5, apparently nissan only use one or 2 sizzes right accross their whole range of cars, I don't know how true that is.

with fitting the gearbox in, if your 1200 came originally with an auto then the stumpy box fits in, depending on the angle you have your engine on when making the mounts you may have to massage the tunnel slightly.

Manual tunnel you need to really bash the crap out of it to fit or cut and shut a larger tunnel in.

With the silvia 5sp you need to no matter what tunnel you have cut out the rear section and make up like a box instead of a hump (check dattoman's website for pics) as the silvia box near the gear stick is a big block, also your handbread has to be relocated back as the gearstick now comes out 8" futher back then when it originally started.


The pintara master and slave shout be fine as long as your not running a brake booster, because if you are running a booster you can't use an engine bay mounted clutch master as it will foul with the booster (they overlap), in which case sus out a nissan Urvan they use in cabin masters (I have this setup and can provide pics).

To get alot of power out of a NA CA, I'd go big cams, aftermarket computer, quad throttle bodies, maybe even eater injection to help cool the donk.

Tomei or HKS are very good with their cams from what I've heard.


Wiring is easy as long as you can read wiring diagrams, then yes it is as simple as splicing in all the apropriate wires to the computer from your existing loom and the computer loom, turn the key and aye presto (providing the ECU has been base mapped for a CA18DE).


You can use the boshe external coils and mount them on a rail off the engine and run leads to the engine, this would help eliminating heat damaging the coils, yes some coil packs don't like heat too much and break down when hot.

I hope I've answered all your questions

chris i have a ute shell, has some rust in it let me know

damo

I've been to Geoff's workshop, the dash is the only thing I've seen finished but he had everything else ready for a mould.
The dash looked VERY good, I will be getting alot of things made up from geoff when I hook into my ute.

Word of advice I would include the wheels at that price you may get some lookers then. But thats my 2 cents, otherwise nice ute :)
