thank you so much for the answers.. :)

A guy I know told me I had to do something with the driveshafts as well.. I don't know if this is correct..

Hi. My little 1.2 Datsun 120A F-II (F10) FWD from 1977 is a hell of a car. It always starts. Always. I LOVE the A12 engine.

A friend of mine offers me this 5-speed gearbox. The gearbox comes from an N10 Datsun Cherry from 1980. As far as I know, the N10 Cherry (Pulsar in US?) also came with an A engine... does the N10 box fit into the F10 and mates with the A12 engine? I do a lot of highway cruising. And if not - what are the modifications that needs to be done??

Sincerely Lars, Norway

Thank you so much :)

Hi all!

My mate is about to buy himself a '74 Datsun 120Y with 50.000 km's on the clock, original and in near mint condition. It has a 4 speed gearbox. Does anyone know of a 5 speed gearbox that fits this car? Or ways to make a 5 speed box fit easily into it? What is the name of the gearboxes that originally sits in these cars? (Like toyota's 5-speed box was named T50 for the T-family engines) :)

The easiest would be an original 5 speed rwd box for the A12 engine. But I reckon it's pretty hard to find? Like the K engine that sits in the Corollas of the same time. The K50 gearbox is a rare sight, especially in Europe.

In advance, thanks ^^

I've heard that the grille of this car is very hard to find..? Take a look at the grille for yourself and see a piece broken off at the right side.. Seeing as this grille is absolutely in one whole piece, I guess I need a brand new grille..?

sincerely, Lars

At last, after so long time.. here are some pics of my car! The nice dashboard can be shown on the picture over this text, and it is in good shape, eh?




Here is another picture of the car, from behind..




And this is of the front.. Inside, it is in very good condition... All that is left now is the body work :) I am looking forward to it ^^

Today was a great day! I finally saw the copies of my new ignition keys arrive in my mailbox!

I brought approx. 10 litres of gasoline, four new spark plugs and a can of start-gas-spray down to my little yellow friend and jump start cable connected it to my other car, a workhorse Nissan Sunny N13.

While my brother sprayed startspray into the air intake, I turned the key..

Regardless of standing inoperable for three years, the little fellow started after three attempts - and in -23 freezing Celsius degrees!

Thats what I call reliability ;)

But.. is there any grease joint chambers behind the front wheels (maybe they are called niples? ;p)? And as for the steering box - should the oil there be changed? And what about the gearbox oil - no need for changing?

Just wonderin' :)

Oh. Where are my manners? Thank you so much, Fredrik!

I will post a pic of my car as soon as my camera is back on track (it's broken=/)

From LF10-3- and on? Dang! My chassisnr is LF10-015126! That means I still have the weak box? =/

>_<

In other words - there is no point in utilizing the weaker box together with an A14 engine..?

Eh.. Maybe I'll just overhaul the entire 1.2 ltr A12 ;)

Maybe I should keep it in 100% original state? Like I do with my 76' Corolla KE30 ^^

I've asked Datsun/PMC-registeret, and they think they have the parts I am looking for ^^
