does things like balancing, port designs, valve sizes help? im only used to adding on to motors which in all cases has made things worse but more power. would using a gx head be better than stock a12/A14/A15 head? i gather 1200cc would be a good start but what other things could help? efi is good but i have found it less reliable compared to a simple carby and fuel pump (if u know what i mean) but does it make much difference in petrol usage? i suppose there are so many options with a series it does make it hard to choose what u want? i want to make my 1000 ute into a car i can take long distances (eg camping) but with good fuel consumption and great reliablilty.
do u have a good complete grill? also what are ur switch knobs like (lol) for the dash (headlights, choke, cigarett lighter ect and im after a chrome steering wheel if u have 1
there are heaps of 1200's around in little towns. i know ive lived in them and have bought many cars cheap because there are so many people who think dattos suck. there loss my gain. i would never pay 2-3k for a little old datto unless it was done up. people give away 1200's
ive owned 3 datsun 1600's and i payed no more than $100 each and 2 bluebirds for $300 each one was a trx also a 180b for free $450 for a mint datsun 1000 2 door and $1000 for a datsun 1000 ute that my daily and $200 for a grandma 200b. the bargins are there u just have to be smart.
u should be able to see it on the wagon pic below. but i think there is only 1 type. the plastic of the steering wheel is very hard and shiny and it has a chrome horn with a D in the middle. also what condition is it in?
