On Xmas eve I bought a 2nd hand set of 13*7" Superlites Which meant I had to have a pretty quiet holiday, but it was worth it! They're really deep dish and look fantastic. The offset is -10 if that means anything to anyone.

Increase track by 4"! And the 205/60 race tyres sit much more 'squarely' on the wider wheels too, rather than 'bagging' the sidewalls.

Now I finally have a use for the flares that have been sitting in the shed! The wheels really fill them out too. I have basically finished fitting the front flares, they just need to be painted. God they look good! I'll try to get some pics over the weekend. Then I just have to get another pair of flares for the rear. And then I'll have to do something to make it go as fast as it looks!

I reckon Niscoupe is right, the problem sounds electrical. But my guess is a worn dissy bush. Pull off the dissy cap and check the shaft for excessive 'play'.

I'm 29. strangely so are all of my current crop of Datsuns - my 1200 coupe and sedan, and my 240K coupe.

Hi Kevin, I've met you a couple of times over the years. You might remember my red coupe with the L series engine? I remember back when you had the supecharged A15 under the bonnet! Welcome to the club.

The spoilers you mention are Steve's aren't they?

I've got the first question for ya! Did the boys at Fulcrum Moorooka do your rear leaves? How have you found them?

some pics here of the flares and spoilers Steve makes on his multi coloured coupe improved production racer, and my red and white coupe

only in western suburbs racing

no, I got the pics from the Qld Racing Driver Assoc website. I saw the car in the pits at the Nationals up here, and had a pretty good look over it but I didn't have a camera with me

I believe Mark is from Adelaide (or SA anyway) and has some track records for his class - over 3001cc.

at least it was...until a psycho called Wayne Wakefeild (driving a rotary) slammed into him on the back straight. Seemed he didn't like being outdragged in a straight line...

Anyway, here's some shots of Mark Short's Improved Production race car in action at recent Nationals at Qld Raceway before he got Wakefeilded into the concrete...

120Y coupe
120Y coupe 2
120Y coupe 3

highlights of the car include SR20DET, in car adjustable sway bars, water cooled brakes etc etc

I think you'll find the later ute crossmembers mount to the chassis differently - like a 120Y x-member. If so, it won't bolt up to a pre-1980 1200.

Just have a look before you buy...

hope it's in a reasonable condition for you. fingers crossed

very rare in Aus, are you sure you want to chop it up to fit an CA?
