alright Ive been going over my backyarder 1200 and I have ralised that the tailshaft is a 120y tailshaft with a new different yoke and the tail shaft is way too short, it only just sits in the gearbox and the gear box is leaking oil all over my exhaust, I have an a14 smooth case gear box and some wacked diff that has a different yoke pattern to a stocky 1200 tailshaft. what tailshaft should I use? Preferably one without the tack welded unijoints. How much would it cost (roughly) to get the tailshaft extended?

wouldnt you have to change the diff centre as well? cos the auto been a three speed would have stupidly low diff ratios.... dunno what im talking about really, but thats my understanding of it.

im pretty sure gregory's make a manual, its number 87 or 78, its for datsun 1000's and 1200's

hmm thanks man, this shells got no plates nothing, the chassis number has been painted over - dunno yet, thinking of just turning it into a race car

ok I just picked up a 1200 shell im gonna turn into a project car, I just noticed it had no compliance plates, is this gonna be a problem when i take it through regency? will I ever be able to register it?

im coming back on thursday and ill grab that shell thats in the shed and all the panels if you havent got rid of it already, ill also give you the rest of the cash for the turbo and stuff

can I come get it, im in henley beach, where do you live in adelaide? oh also do you have any seat bolts? ive only got 4 and I need another four fronts and all the back bolts

have you got a wiring loom thats stock (ie. not been tampered with), and a manual tailshaft?

thanks for your help guys.

Im after a wiring diagram for a 1973 1200 sedan? anyone got one I could download off them?
