yeah i just found out a guy in town has a w58 behind his na a14 in a ute. but i dont have one, cant get one for free, and think that the t50 would be better due to sheer simpleness, the are the gearboxes we are mucking around at tafe with lol

ive got a tailshaft but no u bolts

a bloke in town has a ute version of one of these, i havnt had a chance to talk to him but they arnt my cup of tea. different but, esspesially when its got a 71 coupe datsun1200 badges on it lol.

i have a bit of a habit of breaking dogs in datsun gearboxes but its not entirely my fault. and the non torquey part was my argument back. she only pulls in the hp region ie 5000 to 8000 as compared to a 4age or 4agze with a t50.

yeah 1200rc that was dat141 or aiden he gave me the measurements to adapt the t50 setup into a 1200 as well as step by step instructions on how to do it. but i have been in consultation with my corolla mates and they recon that i will just break a t50 because to them they are weak. but ive never heard of an na a series doing that. hence the idea of the w50.

hi guys im in a bit of a pickle at the moment. i cant get every part that i want to repair my 63a 5 speed, so i have been thinking about toyota 5 speeds. i have in my possession a w50 out of a ra40 celica that i could put in, or i have a mate with a t50 out of either a t18 or an ae71 corolla.
just wondering who has a w series box in their 1200 and whats involved in fitting one without a dellow kit bellhousing wise. i do have a 56 series front housing to chop up and do have the skills and tools at my disposal to make a bellhousing.
any help help would be appreciated.
oh and its a race car with an a15 in it so i only need the simple things.
cheers kurt

it definatly looks gearbox yoke is bigger than a 56 series box, apparently they are the same as the 60 series 4 speed the auto yoke that is.
got a yoke od size? and ill go down and measure my 56a and 60 series yokes.

hi pete, good news is that they are the same gearbox so if you got a ute tailshaft you would be set yoke wise. bad news is i dont know if they will fit straight in length wise. when i had my race tailshaft made it was $160 so not overly dear to get the job done first time.
hope that helps cheers kurt

so whats the reason for selling blake? havnt got the time or cash? or just couldnt be bothered with the engine department?
pm me what you would like for it as a roller because it is one sweeeeeeet ass coupe.... and im looking for an sr project.

ill be going, ill probably be taking the coupe but i wont be entering it in anything.
i went last year and had a ball, by the end of sunday i had a massive sunburn, and was black from sitting on the fence line for the burnouts.
last year they had that no grog sign up, but that was so that you thought that you had to buy it from the bar setup there, but you could take cans into the campsites, but no glass on the premises.
but if its no grog this year, i aint going back next year.
we should arange a time and place to meet up while we are all there.
cheers kurt
EDIT: ill back up blake (possum1200) on that one the locals are all hillbillies
