bump...

Anyone know of a good clutch that would work as an upgrade to a stock clutch?

Awesome find dude... I only just looked at Ebay and I didnt see it, thanks!

Shipping is $19 USD to Canada as opposed to $7 to USA address... dd, wanna have it shipped to your place then ship it to mine for like 2 bucks?

Hey guys,

Im starting the restoration of my car next week and I have a couple of questions...

Does anyone have a sidedraft A12 intake manifold for sale?

Also what is a good clutch upgrade for the A12 4spd box? not top of the line or anything but a reliable improvement on the stock clutch...

Anyone got an oilpan gasket for sale? Usually they come with the complete engine gasket set but I only need the oilpan gasket. (both sides)

Thanks alot guys

SLAM

even i can push a car off a cliff buddy... but ill do it for half that.

Yup, thats a block heater... got one in my A12, exact same spot

That engine looks very clean internally, looks like you got a good one.

its the 1973 Datsun 1200 Sedan Deluxe edition

arg.. its freaky lookin

My dad drives an austin mini pickup truck that he built, recently he just got done putting in a new engine which is trubo'd.

The engine is an austin metro turbo engine 1.3L it uses a blowthrough turbo SU carb setup.

I drove the thing last summer and it honestly hauls a$$...

I had the idea to bolt that exact same setup to my A12.
Mainly becuase I could get all the parts from him for free and becuase the engine sizes are almost identical (100cc diff)

Very easy to put together (if you have a little metal fabrication experiance - I work in a metfab shop so its no problem)

I made a new exhaust/intake flange out of 1/2" by 3" flatbar, milled out the exhust ports and srilled the intake holes and bolt holes
( i wanted to do the whole thing cold just cuz i didnt wanto distort the metal by putting heat to it .. ie from a plazma or a torch)

Thats as far as I have gotten so far, its just a matter of fabbing up the rest and its just a bolt on upgrade to the carb/exhaust setup that is on there now.

Just need to put in an electric fuel pump and a Fuel pressure regulator... and its all good. and of course plumb in an intercooler and BOV

I will update as I carry on with this i just want to have enough boost to notice a difference in how it pulls

Thanks Dodgeman, any word on lower ball joints? are B210 the same part?
