Hi I'm sure the column is locked in/peened over onto the bush outer shell. First you will have to unlock it with a small punch or screw driver, then you can tap it anti clockwise with a punch in the grove or turn it with a pair of multi grips. The bush that I changed years ago was one piece. Metal threaded sleeve on the outside with rubber on the inside. Hope all this makes sense. Also I went to Nissan at blacktown last year to order this bush, when it came it it was wrong ( not for collapseable column ) so be aware. Maddat has the right one

Sounds like a great idea. I'm interested!

Nice, I have a pair of each size in the shed.
Any one else to add to this

I like how they look, what size tyre are you using

Hi I'm after some chaser wheels, which will suit a 1200 better, r31 silhouette or saab. One of my 1200s has stanza front end and the other has 1200 coupe disc front end. I've found saab chasers but would like to know people's experience before I spend the $

It was just a thought to put a t-piece in the vac line going from car to diaphragm to measure vacuum. Honestly I haven't checked anything was just looking at the carby and was trying to figure out how it worked. I was thinking about putting a weber on, but being auto I think it will be wasted money. I will stop the secondaries from opening and see how it feels on the road, I'm interested to see how much it does

Thanks for the info guys, that makes sense now. If I put a vac gauge in line, how much vac should I see under load. The car is running fine, just seems a little sluggish and the 3 speed auto does not help much.

Hi can any one fill me in on how the secondary section opens on the carby when driving. The carby is off a A15 Vanette with auto choke. It has a vacuum mechanism that when I apply vac to it, it opens the second butterfly and sprays fuel in and engine revvs up from idle. The vac diaphragm is connected close to the bace of the carby and from what I've checked it does not have vac at idle or off idle. While stationary and revving the engine I can't see the secondaries open unless full throttle is hit and a lever slightly opens the secondaries but the vac diaphragm seems to be doing nothing. What are your thoughts?

The registration papers say its a 1973. If you know who has these Nissan printed catalogue please let me know. Thanks
