That would make a good change, they have been crap of late.
The last few have been choc full of adverts, no tech sections- they didnt even have the 'in the build' section.
On the plus side they do still seem to feature alot of Datsuns

Thanks very much for that, I ended up gettting a pair of type1 vw munroe gt shocks this arvo.
After feeling the difference they made to how firm it rides im glad i didnt get a harder pair.
Its a totally different ute now, much more nimble, luvn it.

Im looking at getting new rear shocks for my swb sunnytruck.
It sits pretty low, roughly 35-40mm rear travel with shortened bump stops.
Im after a stiffer shock than stock.
I have heard of some 1200's using certain 4x4 shocks but I'm having trouble finding any info on which ones to use (pajero?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Joel

Welcome,
So cool to hear from you Michi!
That is such an awesome truck you have built, it is my absolute favourite.
The a12 engine with the crank pick-up shown on the 09 Racing site looks sweet, I would love to hear more about it.
Im normally floating around on the www.nzdatsun.com website, there are alot of people on that site that enjoy your work too.
Thanks for posting,
Joel

Yeah thats what i originally thought in regards to the radiator though Ive since heard stories of A15 engines cooking while running 12 radiators despite what the water temp reading is.
..I dunno, im kinda at odds about it.

-And yeah true that re the after mkt air cleaner, I jst didnt think of it ;)

Cheers man, keep up the good work

Thanks,
I will re-fit the factory PCV then.

"" If instead you are only seeing water/oil mixture on the underside of the oil cap, that is a condensation problem,""

Its not just on the cap, its more like a half cup right through the valve train and underside of the rocker cover.
It doesnt really get taken on small trips. At the mo its running a A12 radiator till i get the N14 one that i have all set-up. The A12 rad seems to be working ok in the mean time, Ive fitted a (pricey) after market water temp set-up in the top rad hose and the gauge stays around 74 degrees and has never gone over 78.

I was thinking of fitting an after market air cleaner at some stage, in that case I would have to move to a catch tank system- would that be prone to the same condensation probs im getting now?

Thanks again

So I brought a worked A15 a few months ago,
Its had a few mods, blue printed,balanced,skimmed,mild cam etc. Its running a single down draught A12 carb thats been been bored out and heavily modified by an oldschool datsun guru engine builder.
When I first looked inside the rocker cover it had alot of white'ish whipped cream looking oil through it.
At that stage it was just thought to be condensation (hopefully) so it was cleaned out and had an oil flush treatment and oil and filter change.
The build up of gunk was back in no time at all.
I then found about 5-10ml of water in the breather hose when i pulled it off the bottom of the air cleaner breather port. I got rid of that water and gave it another oil change but after about three hours driving when I checked the breather hose again the water was back and so was the gunk in the rocker cover.
I will try and explain the breather setup on it as its a little different than standard:
Ok so picture the breather hose coming up from back of block (off the metal pipe fitting that comes off the side of the block) and up to jst above height of rocker cover then arching down onto the rocker cover breather port.
Roughly at half way up that hose, as you view it in the eng bay, there is a "T" joiner.
Then hose comes off the "T" slightly curves down and then back up to the air cleaner hsg breather port (its a standard air cleaner hsg), - in the low point of that curve between the "T" and the air cleaner is where the water has been building.

There is no sign of the thick white oil on the dip stick min-max area, but there is a tiny amount around the top of the dip stick seal near the handle.

The radiator seems to keep an even level, Ive only topped it up a small amount (3/4 cup) maybe 2 times in as many months.

So, ahhh.., yea.. any thoughts as to the why and how would be greatly appreciated.
Is it just a symptom of having a modified carb?

Cheers
