Hi there.
A datsun gearbox that has 56A stamped onto the bellhousing, usually is a four speed out of a 1200, 120y or Sunny that use the A series motor.
There were 3 types of 5 speed gearboxes that were used with the A series.

1: 5 speed non-overdrive, close ratio, 56 series. (ribbed bellhousing)
2: 5 speed with over-drive, dogleg or non-dogleg, 60 series.(60/60A was non-dogleg)
(60/60L was the dogleg)
( smooth bellhousing).
3:5 speed ( used on L series motors, but some were used on A series) (large gearbox, dogleg shifter)

The first two were probably the most common types.
But any 5 speed gearbox for an A series are very rare nowdays.

hi dat16
At least we know that you and I will be there.
A little rain doesn't stop me
I definately wont be in my macco green coupe so instead I will be in my white 120y coupe, which is also quite tidy

Anyway see you there around 11am.

GO THE DATTO!

hi all tassie datto lovers.
Today is the day for the first meet of datsun's at ther Tailrace Park.
Its fantastic weather for it, isn't it
I am still going though.
I am praying right now that it will fine up for the 11am meet.
Anyway hope to see a few turn up.

See you all there soon.

hi datrat dave
I will be getting there at about 11am in my 120y coupe,
I wish people would start replying as there isnt much time left. The more datto's the better, as I dont want to be the only one there.
PLEASE DATTO OWNERS, I NEED ANSWERS
This could be the start of a good thing if we get a good turn out of datto's.
I would also like to know, who's taking what datto?

PLEASE PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS A.S.A.P

Gday how are you.
The doors will not interchange with a coupe as the sedan door will be shorter and maybe a little higher.
As the roof line of a coupe slopes down and therefore the top edge of the door will slope aswell towards the back edge.
Furthermore the coupe door has to be longer to accomodate for the lack of a back door, and so that the rear passengers can get in easy.
Hope I was of some help.

hello Dodgeman
I have decided I wanted a CD, so I have sent you a CD mailer (the dearer type cardboard case),
as I couldn't remember if you said that the CD was in a case or not.
Anyway I have posted it in the mail today(29/3/05), so you should receive it soon.

I have written my postal address on the back for return purposes
So you may have to white out the TO and FROM part on each side of the case, so that you can send it back to me. using the same CD mailer.

If you have any queries dont hesitate to ask.
Thanks, and HAPPY EASTER.

Hello again Dodgeman.
Is Bundanoon in N.S.W
Just wanted to know, as I would need to put a state on the envelope.
if I went to mail it.
Thanks. Bye for now.

hi Dodgeman
About the FREE PICS.
Are there many 120y's pics on the CD?
If so I may be interested in a copy.

Thanks, it would be a great late easter present.
(BETTER THEN EASTER EGGS!)
