geez peter i spoke about this a while back [joking].We would like to see you here in south africa [with your car]only thing is the most datsuns here race in historics ---the other group is clubmans.In cape town the Richards bros race datsuns & racetech [on this site] has to do with the witzenberg club and in east london rezlo [also on this site]I'm sure they will look after you here.Richards bros also have a site the Mighty Datsuns.Maybe you should compete in the USA and the top two come over and the aussies do the same --maybe collect at the races and ask the other countries to help --thats if our disneyland money helps ---great idea anyway

well here is s/thing i'd like to do.Uno turbo [1400] motor in the front of a 1200 datsun. if only i can figure out how to do the set-up. I want engine in front but rwd. I know there is an awd uno running around but what they used is a mystery. this will be a great set-up --approx 200kg lighter and the engine is bullet proof [now has 400000k's]short distance it gives a M3 a hard time at more or less standard.motor just needs a refresh & a 1200 body and it's a for away.SOOoo it's awd gearbox or a damn box which turns in opposite direction LOL.Unless one of the bright sparks can come up with a better idea

i saw this on car trend ---just saw nissan mini Z and had a look cos i have a 350z but the 350z is VERyyy heavy on fuel and the wife wants another car so maybe i can convince her so that i can drive it.lol. Just google nissan mini z it should come up. there's a photo and few bits -- i think it's based on the juke.

I was scratching around looking for that elusive 200hp e/body talks about when i saw that nissan has s/thing new in mind to compete with the 86 of toyota and the brz subie ------nissan mini Z ---same shape but smaller --- fwd AND yes and awd -- 1600 and 190hp ---less than the toyota & subie but more torque---so they say --- so for those looking for a better option for the 1200-- here it is. LOL standard 190hp imagine that--with a touch here & there and awd --the skies the limit

I had a look at the post of D [orange 1200] and i really like the rims but cant find it on the watanbe site.I like the rims that are deep in -- you are then left with only a bit of body problems. anybody got an idea or where to buy that or similar

PJ where do you stay in RSA north or south. If you in the south you can check mine out and i can give you the name of the chap that did my motor. Almost 100kw and lots more can be done or just phone me [shaun 0824857669]

darrenwilson i think you have asked a question that only one or two will be able to answer. Only a few know what it really looks like [ay12 head].With regards to the HP i reckon 200 is possible. check out the site Take-off --their small cappucino makes s/where around 200.

hey i'm not far from you [ bellville] You can give me a call and check my t/bodies ---bike t/bodies --shaun 0824857669

first of all got apologize for the short sentences but that's cos i'm expecting the comp to give me hassles. PEPPER; yeah just got a nice 350z subie blue with uni-chip nice exh system k&n filter and 55k on the clocks. i was looking at a 260z, a not & bolt rebuild job --was going for 100k but chap changed his mind-- so dipped out big time. 260z & 240z dats are scarce in south africa.there's prob more 140z& 160z cars here.i was about to buy a 2 door sedan but the seller had lots of tricks up his sleeve so left it.Sometimes i wish we could have a jap day / datsun with a lot [5] racers from oz ,nz and usa 5 each maybe a race or two thats with cars in RSA --we cant afford to go to other countries so we gotta invite them here--our money they use in disney land. So s/thing to think about chaps pack them cars in containers and hop on over u get a lot for ur dollar here.

utJUST GIVING credit.I read a lot of the club info and there are a lot of chaps that do some fine things & then minor a-holes like the ls2 dude. One day when u lose a chap like jmac or sikyne u will have to give him a send off with all the datto's in oz.Some of the chaps just go that extra mile eg. the cr motor,the cross-flow head story ok it might not be finished and maybe one day s/body will come up with s/thing.There are some great thinkers and people who share -- i can't say the same about m/self cos the comp kicks out and i give up.wanted to give info on t/bodies but comp keeps cutting me out.So thanks to e/body--all those that help & the great info.Always look forward to reading.Got a nissan 350z now but the datsun 1200 still tops
