No they don't usually hit because of the quarter vents. This means you have more clearance in the door where the door glass runs down. I got away without using door pods or anything.
I bought a high quality set of 6's and I'm still surprised at the bass they put out. It all sounds nice and crisp and clear.

Make sure you spend a bit of time sound deadening the inside of the door and stop all the rattles etc inside the door before the door trims go back on - you can learn from my mistake cause I didn't think they would be that loud
Anyway I'll get around to it one day..........along with everything else.

I've just got a set of 6 inches in the door skins running off a single head unit - I was actually quite impressed with the sound as its only a small cabin.

Depends what you want - personally I'm not a huge car audio freak, I just wanted some tunes - but as I said I was quite surprised.

I've run premium unleaded in my A15 for approx 6 months and have had no problems at all. Its just a matter of filling her up with it.

I think I posted the same question before I switched over and as a guy from the USA stated - They haven't had leaded fuel over there for many years anyway so their dattos' have been on unleaded anyway.

Hey Dattodave,
Do you know the name of the place that restores the dashes you mentioned. No one here in TAS does them as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong).

As I will have to send mine over to be restored / recoloured etc.

Thanks.

Hi Mik,
First thing - the best money you can ever spend on your Datsun whether you're are a mechanic or not is to purchase a workshop manual. Here is a link which should help you out (starting at $10 you can't go wrong)

Removing a diff is really quite simple - if you haven't done it before then have a mate come and give you a hand.
Make sure you have got a decent jack and safety stands as well.
Things you gottta do
Tailshaft has to come out, rear wheels and brake drums have to come off, undo the brake pipe fitting on the diff and at the wheel cylinders, axles have to come out, leaf spring " U " bolts have to come off, depending on what you are doing with it - drain the diff as well.
Check there are no other mounting brackets on the diff connecting to anything that you are going to break if you leave them connected (like handbrake cable mounts, brake lines etc.

"Remember when you jack it up to jack it up off the chassis and SUPPORT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON JACK STANDS (so the suspension is sagging down at full travel)"

Once you are at this stage have the trolley jack under the center of the diff while a mate keeps it balanced on the jack and then slide her out.

PS: Unless you are going to be removing the diff center itself you won't have to worry about removing the axles.

BUT GET THAT W/SHOP MANUAL FIRST AND IT WILL ALL BECOME THAT MUCH" CleAreR"

Don't forget to run into your old pals on their current model sports bikes - R1's, Blades etc : "all wearing motocross helmets" ---------as ya do..........................

The Fast & the Furious jokes almost need their own thread.

But yeah I agree with simmodat1200 - those 12 speed gear boxes must be the main cause of having " fried " piston rings.

AAHhhhhhhh it makes me laugh.

Did it happen all at once or was it a gradual thing?

Start with the basics - check/renew fuel filter, ignition timing.

What sort of carby have you got - check the power valve.

Need more info.......................

Hey tens_and_twenties

Love the wheels, love the car and love the photos.
