I don't know how much they are but the last few days I have been thinking of this as I am thinking of getting 2 long 1200 doors so when I come across a 4 door wagon I can make a 2 door wagon to go with my 1000 wagon!
( This will be a one day in the future project)

Lobster everything you said is exactly right!
To me a blown fuse means a short somewhere!
Ablown fusable link means a big short as it is a higher rated fuse!
Obviously they are incapable auto electricians and just put a new fuseable link and said oh well its not blowing now so it must be alright! ( Donkeys!)

If it was a shop that I worked at I would be really embaressed and I would do like 1200rallycar said!
It's like if you go to a mechanic and your brakes don't work! he checks and there is no fluid! so he just puts somemore and says thats $60 thanks and seeya later!
If you crash from this he is the lisenced repairer so he is held responsible!
Fair enough you pay for the original problem but he should pay for what his not doing has caused!

*** I think I am going to move down to Canberra and open my Auto Electrical shop!
From what you say there is a lot of buisness down there! Plus if I do things right I will get plenty of customers from these donkeys!***

I do know of a 2 door 120y sedan that was a panel beaters in Parramatta NSW which he had choped the back part of the roof off and fixed it up to be a ute!

But surely this advertised one would say if this type of thing was done to it!

The way you discribe it to me sounds like there is something worn on either the clutch fork , throwout bearing , imput shalf or the actual pressure plate!

Sounds like you should really take the box out and investigate!

I know in Australia many Differential Places redrill disks and axels for different stud patterns. So it should be safe, aslong as it is done correctly and they are spaced perfectly you should be alright!

I wouldn't say getting old has made you upset and want better brakes. I would say you are just getting wiser as if your going to have more power you would always want better brakes so you can stop just as good if not better!

Sorry I cant help with telling you whether the brakes will work! but hopefully I did give you alittle help somewhere!

You could just give Nissan a call and ask them what it was and if the model car that you want the engine from had it!

It's hard to tell especially the way you described it! plus you say only in first! and this sounds weird!

One thing you should do first is disconnect the clutch from the box and see if the cable by itself is hard to move!( Maybe it's had it!)

How far between normal pedal hieght and the floor till the clutch grabs?
New clutch should be close to the floor and old will be closer to normal pedal hieght!

Tell us do your sheep and goats come with gloveboxes?

If you are just after the engine to put in a car without this NATS just get one that doesn't have this on it!

Otherwise if it is like the anti theft system on the Australian Commodores!
And you wish to us the computer that came with this, you will need to get the anti theft module as well as the computer plus what ever is used to trigger the module on and off!

It is easier to just get a computer that didn't come with this!

An if it's the security part that you want! it is probably easier to just put an aftermarket alarm or imobiliser!

But I do remember seeing somehting like this on a 2000 model pulsar and if it is this all it is, is just central locking with a fancy name!

Sorry that I couldn't tell you more!

Maybe it's a garden ornament!
( I know I would like to have one in my garden!)

And in their garage are 2 mint condition wagons 1 two door and 1 four door!
It wouldn't hurt to ask!
