of course i have a passion for dattos. but not standard ones, it has to be modded...im a hoon at heart! but like i said when i have a full time job and can afford these sorts of cars i'll be back.

alright fine u all got me...there really isnt anything more simple or as good as a datto. I got 3850 for it but still have a A12 4spd gearbox and a 1200 ute tailshaft left if anyone is interested. My ute wasnt modified either sorry guys, but as i only JUST turned 18 today i am on a tight budget and can't afford to keep fixing up all the bugs that mine had so..i sold it. I will definately be back when i get a bigger wallet, and thats a promise. If i did make my datto comeback it would def. be in a MODIFIED 1600 or another 1200 ute.

...and so i move on...I have sold my datto and given up the datsun game. Its a terrible feeling and i hate myself for selling it but i just have to move to something a little more modern n reliable as im young n strapped for cash. Sorry guys.

u want a ute? BUY MINE! 1980 1200 ute thats pretty much standard to a degree. recently restored to a reasonable level but im asking for a hefty sum of money to part with it! If u want it..its going for 5000.

how much r u willing to pay? whats ur price range mate?

hey all u sydney datto owners..i havent been to the drags for ages and thought i could make a bit of a datto meeting of it aswell. What could be better thatn a night cruise with dattos and street drags!? Who would be interested in going this wednesday night - 28th September 2005. If anyone has any thing they would like to say or do or whatever about this meeting, please feel free to do so.. Thank you very much Smithy_1200.

so how much would this tailshaft go for? i bought one for 125bucks and when i told my mate his jaw dropped! what is the going rate for a good 1200 tailshaft?

yeah that blue ute was mine, got it done last monday, new front shocks, good stuff. yeah when i go to the auto mechanics to get my car passed for rego again i'll go next door to the wreckers n ask for ya. so what is it exactly, what parts are they and what model n i'll have a go n tell ya.

yeah well i resprayed it with an original datsun light blue colour a bit over a year ago it was a backyard job which turned out to quite good, it hasnt been buffed properly yet, although it has some "orange peel" on the roof. I dont know much about this "orange peel" im just repeating what the person who sprayed said. I was thinking 5, but is this too much? i was offered 5 on the spot by a fellow datto mate a while ago which i should have taken but ive spent alot of money reconditioning the whole car eve though it doesnt show, i have reconditioned the engine, bought a recond tailshaft, a new bonnet (from wetherall park panels), and tons more. So i hope theres someone out there willing to fork out the cash.

hey guys, im planning on selling my 1980 Datsun 1200 ute around christmas 2005 and am wondering if anyone knows how much mine would be worth, ive been told many prices and when i look at the classifieds there all modified utes. My body isnt the straightest but has hardly any rust - just surface i think, stock A12 with 4spd gearbox, recond tailshaft, notsure if they are 12 or 13inch minilites, brand new suspension up front, the interior is ok and overall the cars runs quite well. ive been told 5grand is getting around top dollar, but what is someone willing to pay keeping in mind im NOT selling to around end of year as i need to save up for next car.
