Yea seems a tough trans. Wondering what would be better for the drags, 3 or 4 speed. So the 4 speed comes from the sunny? Im thinking with a light weight body (1000 coupe), e15et the 3 speed will be fine

Hey guys looking for a strong gearbox or trans to go behind an e15et in a 1000. Whats the strongest a series auto transmission available in australia? Im guessing the 1000 manual tunnel will have to be modded/made bigger?

Bump

Hey all im trying to chase down a datsun 1000 fastback coupe boot lid thats not too badly damaged. Willing ti freight

Also chasing a bonnet but something in adelaide and hopefully northern suburbs. Pm me or sms 0438864526

So how many coats of primer do u reccomend before paint and how many coats of final paint? Ill be starting on engine bar first.

Body isnt too bad. Theres no pealing paint. Just faded really bad. Its been resprayed in the past so i was gonna rub back to the original paint

Just saw the conversion in the tech wiki

I was just gonna go the factory marone (maroon whatever :p). Maybe i should go over it with a 400 before putting primer on

Hey all im back again. So soon ill be doing body work and spraying the 1000 coupe. Paintings been my nemesis but i have done good small jobs

Im looking to do acrylic as it will be done at home and its easier to work with. What stages and grits do people recommend? What grit should i use to rub down the original paint ready for primer. Also what grit should i rub before painting (so on the primer)

Ive been told to use a 120 straight up then go down to a 240 then primer 2 coats, rub to 400 and primer again. Rub down to 800 and lay top coat on

Just looked at a wiki thread about cut n shuting a 71 series gearbox for a series. Who does em and how much does it cost to get done?
