Hey,
As it happens i have some custom two piece A series crank pulleys.
Steel hub, and aluminium pulley. The pulley above looks a lot like my old supercharger pulley.

I wouldnt trust a factory tacho as far as I could throw it.

I once built an engine that should have been okay to 8000.
It refused to go past about 7600 no matter how much I ignored it's screams for mercy.
The next engine I fitted an aftermarket #OOPS# light. When I was showing 7500, the stock tacho was only ready 6200.
it was then I learned factory datsun Gauges were to be taken with a grain of salt..........

Ha, first time I stick my nose in hear for years, and what do I see, good old D and JMac debating the ins and outs of carburated performance!

Nice to see some things never change.

My question is this,
Does a GB120, and a B210 use the same part number steering knuckle? (Bolts to the strut)
And does the sedan share the same wheel base as the B120, or the GB120?

I've still got it.

I'd love to own another 1200 one day. But they're just fetching too much money now for what you get.

Not to fear.
I still have my GN620 for which I have an SR20 and Eaton m62 supercharger put aside, and a P510 whick is getting a CA18 and and IHI lysolm screw supercharger.
I'm definitely addicted to belt driven boost. Granted they're not as light as the mighty and venerable b110, but in many regards they're a little bit easier to get strong driveline parts for.

I didn't know if this day would ever come.
In 2002, I bought a datsun 1200 cheaper than the sum of it's parts. It had had a fire. and was in pretty awful shape. Being 25 years old and far keener than I should have been for my skills I embarked on a road to fix her up.
Over that time it saw many many engines, gearboxes and diffs. The supercharger set up found the limits of stock parts pretty quickly. Surprised a lot of people with how well it went.
Over the years time began to show on the body. Since it mostly lived outdoors, the paint and old repairs needed attention.
Drag racing was pretty hard on the driveline. I spent a lot of time remedying issues this created. And as such never got the chance to develop it any further.
So I sold the supercharger kit, and my 63A five speed to a guy who is every bit as keen as I was all those years ago. His KB310 is going to be a ruthless machine.
Another mate bought my A15 longblock. It's now got an EFI turbo set up in a 1200 two door sedan.
So I put it all back to standard.

And tonight I drove it over to the new owners house.
No more datsun 1200 for me.
Lots of adventures were had. (And a sh!tload of traffic laws got broken along the way too)
Farewell little datsun........

Dave's wheels are Aunger Wildcats I think.
He's owned his SSS for a very long time too.
