Thats okay dodgeman

The best thing to do would be to put that 5 speed in the post to me

Then I will send you the formula to the pathway of supreme datsun enlightenment!

damn you for putting it on when I have a full day

smokohamas or even sometimes bangbags

Udo : what are the SA sentras sold as in australia? or what engine code do they have in them anway.. it would be good to try one of them next time around.

I'VE DONE IT! finally finished converting my pulsar dizzy..

ok here's what I had to do :

take the collar off the end of the pulsar dizzy and fit the A series cog on the end ensuring there was no end float and then mount carefully in a drill press ensuring was clamped from ends and side. drilled an appropriate hole and installed roll pin cut to length. took the adjustment plate off of A series dizzy and marked drilled and tapped pulsar dizzy to suit (even had some factory paint mark where the hole goes approx in the middle!)

only real thing had to do after that was modify vacuum advance unit because pulsar one ends up pointing to the ground. cut the bent piece of mine and glued a micro irrigation elbow piece on using high-grade epoxy, but you could just extend the tube.

gave all the internals a good wash in the kero bath and used new grease.

well the proof is in the pudding , just got to fire her up again. has anyone got the pulsar wiring diagram? I just need to see what plugs in where and i'm away.

hah cool, another Rover! and I was too afraid to admit being one myself on this forum!

yea its pretty cool, let people think we are daggy scouts , but they dont know all the fun things they are missing out on!

unfortunately I won't get to see a Bush Baja (as we sandgropers call them) silly insurance companies either won't cover us or want to charge silly amounts like 30G .. when they start losing all their customers maybe they will wake up to themselves and tell the government to pull their finger out.

wanna trade emails dude? some insight into interstate rovering would be cool.

heres my little site of pictures, hasnt seen the light of day for a while!

actually the 1200 interior door handles fit the 1000 and are a little better looking i reckon. I actually have a couple of 1000 inside door handles if anyone wants them.

a few people have done the nissan pulsar dizzy conversion.
does that require a resistor or not??

I hear from a good source that the L28 weighs not much less than a ford 302 V8! not sure about hemi??

you should have no problem getting some wide rudder under the wheelarches! take a look at this photo : http://www.classicrally.com.au/classi64.jpg

I assume you are talking about the fairlady or 'roadster' . I wouldnt have a clue about the ratio of the boxes in those things.
indeed the 1600 is a higher revver than the bigger motors eg : the 2 litre (and rare as hens teeth) U20. but what engine you put in it depends on if you are going to do a classic restoration or more of a streetcar thing.
the buick v6 you speak of is actually the engine we have in our Holden Commodores here in Australia. I would suggest you at least keep it in the family and go for the Nissan VG-30 ;) or better yet the FJ 20 / turbo , which would be neater and is the most commonly done.

here is a good site with a really neat example of a roadster , and some links to get you started off :
