The red coupe looks clean as!

and the orange 2door is just as good.


Here is a pic of my silvia disks and calipers fitted to a 120y hub.
The picture shows how much clearence there is inside a 14" 260z rim.

It's a good upgrade onto the stock 120y strut.

I'm always hearing people say "Go the Dato"

I've been stopped at the lights countless times and had people ask questions like "What granny did you steal that from" or "Whats it running?"
There's always the occasional prick that asks you to "light em up" or a skyline driver who asks if you "wana run"

The best is just driving along and you get cars sit beside you with the wife and the kids staring at your car, i can only imagine that they would be telling their kids a datsun story.

What gives me a buzz is when your driving on the freeway and you calmly pass a car, that car will instantly try to accelerate past you just because they don't want to be pasted by a 120y.

Datsun's and 120Y's in particular are always being bagged as being slow and crap (not my words) but the truth is that other drivers are just jealous that their car isn't as cool, retro, nibble, fuel efficient and reliable as their commodore or falcon.

LONG LIVE THE DATSUN'S AND THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THEM

BUMP!!!

If you've got a 120y then show every1 some pics.
If you've made improvements then let every1 know wat you did and how.

What engine? brakes? suspension? induction? paint? spoilers? wheels? etc...


I love 1200's but i have a great appreciation for the underestimated 120y.

I want to see what others are doing or have done with their 120Y so post a reply.

my 74 120y has disk up front with the collapsible steering column with no boster fitted!

some of the differences might be between the early japan import and aussie assembled cars

wasn't there a short period that the 120y's where assembled here with the jap brakes before later changing to the pbr setup

have you considered installing a H150 out of a 120y or sunny

3.89 ratio was standard with any auto, i think

should be a bit stronger and easy to come by

Hi,

I'm after a new set of valve lifters (cam tappets) for an A15.

I've been told that they are exactly the same as the A12 lifters, can any1 confirm this?

Are these still available from the local nissan spare parts dealer?
Any idea of the part number and the cost?

I know that they can be re-surfaced but i was after new one's if the price is right.


Any help would be much appreciated
cheers
