when working all this out would you have to take into account the friction from the road and tire pressure? something you need not worry about on a dyno obviously...just a thought

hey mate

after watching the frequency on which you post here and the topics of your posts i reckon you're gonna have one hell of a 1200 when you're done. good on ya

mate http://www.ebay.com.au there are a couple of badges for sale atm

hey mate, i've got a series II bluebird diff in my 1200 ute, i bought it like that, but i'm under the impression it goes in quite easily, plus it's got a lower ratio so the engine revs are kept quite low, great for the freeway

at last..the road worthy is done and my ute is on the road, hope to see all you queenslanders cruising about

mate i looked at this also, to lower the front go with new king springs etc. to lower the rear use either (a) as suggested lowering blocks or (b) a combo of both re-set leafs and lowering blocks..have rear re-set to good height if you need to carry stuff and then add lowering blocks for the desired height.

just throwing the idea out there....how many of you would love to own a street legal 13b turbo 1200

g'day guys

firstly what's the engine code for the datsun 1600's, is it possible to get that engine into the 1200 ute without much hassle OR can you use the 5spd on the a12?

cus yeh i can put them back in, i just wanted to buy a new set of leafs for the rear and a set of springs for the front...do you know whats the best distance to lower it? i wanted wheels at arches

so you can have your rear leafs re-set nice and low and stiffened for $200 or less?
