R dimlight ones sold yet?????
the shiny jet coat ones are a treat?

Does anyone know if the GMH Delco computer can be reprogramed to run the injec sys for michael. I heard they been adapted for many types of engines.
I can get them for next to nothing.

It would be cheaper to use a High comp 1597cc fiat ac, bc or 125 engine which are the same and can be picked up in an old fiat with webers and extractors for about 300-400 bucks. Its not a special engine these blokes are full of crap. its not even a 16v head from abarth or anything special with no dry sump or special sump.
Look up www.carsfromitaly.com and look under abarth section then youll see some wicked ####te!

Blank off plates now you tell me!
got whiplash and madonna knee burns looking under those suckers!!

great tip!

The 1000 ute usually had the 4.375 and the dat 1600 wagon the alloy h190. The early datsun bluebirds 64-67 the alloy h165 and maybe a h190 lsd from the fairlady as an option for the sss. Many early datsun pre 72 with live axles had the alloy centres. As for the h190 240-280 I dont know.

My 1967, 1000 was one of those from Fuji heavy industries. The best thing about it is that the paints been missing underneath and 3 inches up the sills for 25 years or more and cause it was apparantly galvanised like they did for jap truck boxes, there aint no rust to eat it.
I havent bothered painting it just to show its underwear off to other more expensive rust prone vehicle owners.

Another midmount suitable would be the MR2 3sg 2 litre found in 90s celica gt4, lexus ls200 and mr2s also used in the all conquering 1000+ hp pikes peak Mildren toyota. This engine takes more abuse in than an sr20 and with its steel block and box weighs less than the all alloy sr20 and box and is 15 kg heavier than a 4ag but has 160hp without vvt in the early 90s restriced NA form. The later versions have higher port locations a-la-gx and narrower twin cam heads. Remember a NA Lexus ls200 came third overall a couple of years ago in the Targa tasmania ahead of turbo cars like f40 ferrari, top porsche racers, lamborginis, gtr, supras and more.
Cheap HP from start and ability to take heaps more abuse later like the heavier FJ20.

For a 4wd layout it would be easier to use a rail setup from the later independant 4WDs with a roll cage and a fibreglass body to sit on top of it. Then put any engine you wish for since most new 4wds have independant alloy diffs with heavy duty lsds.
Has any of you unfortunately got stuck driving behind some new 4wd and had no choice but to notice below their multilink alloy diffed independant rear ends?
I hate them, lucky bastards.

Since the sixties several 4wd sports car with brainpopping power have been used in heavily sponsored race cars from Indy, f1 to Le mans however the best, most reliable and fastest have been and still are RWD in lightweight cars.
The datsun is lightweight and with its small wheelbase and track should remain that way for racing. Le mans is the equivalent of the hardtop f1 cars. If a 1200 should be 4wd then it should be as light as a 1200 rwd with the same engine spec to be able to compete with it or say its better.
As a pure exersice in difference... yes it will be different but a late lightweight fwd 4 cylinder turbo engine midmounted behind the back seats of 1200 would be simpler (well if you have the resources to go 4wd in the first place) and with the same hp would eat it like a snack. Otherwise a lightweight gaerte 340hp NA chev based 4 cyinder with a late cadillac fwd gearbox all mounted behind the back seats would be lighter and easier to work on (OHV see pic on gaerte in photo section) and has big hp off the shelf everything from chev even a big variable nissan turbo on it would take it further ahead of the evo engine and would be a little nissan touch of breathing to an otherwise non nissan heart.

Thats right no 3.5 (got confused from the worg warner post sorry) Bout hard to get stuff... There is ususally a major importer of engines cars and goods who distributes to others and maybe they would have something like that. Here in Melbourne there is such a place that brings in container loads of stuff and sell to places like ekw and sometimes you might get a late damaged 1200 ute. Otherwise we need to get more "Afrikans" on our site so we can buy new bits from them in their homeland. Especially the ones who go for big turbo converions and 9 inch rear ends.

Brent sorry just this arvo toll express took the 4.4 ute diff to queensland to a guy who needed it for his 1200. He apparently is the state 1300 and under touring car champion there with a 1200!!
Ill keep a lookout for you. Just found out the datsun bluebird 411 wagon had the alloy carrier and 4.4 you are looking for. Maybe that can help you since you get more things in beautiful nz than we do.
The diff I have is a 4.11 and I must have been thinking I was playing with lego or something I never had as a child when it came to the brainless pinion and crown wheel mix matching.
Ill keep a look out for a jp stanza but all ive found are sss and standard ones with the borg warner diff.
Sounds like the 3.7 is the way to go with the sunny wagon cable clutch 60a box with my a14. However the a15 will be is in the horizon to pound more torque with the 82mm stroke and hopefully will still be economical and smooth on the freeway.
Otherwise it would be great to find a 3.5 if someone knows from were for the h165.

Just spoke to steve newing from speedtech and said he used the same factory daiken nissan clutch for 11 years. The one with the beige coating. Now Im stumped on how this supposedly new pbr clutch is available for sale since I killed it so easily. Ill take steves word he should now after so many titles.
He said he picked up a bundle of them from the wreckers and used them with a cro-moly flywheel all that time.
