I hope this A series has a special type of head and distributor on it!

hmmm hmmm

got a hunch that maybe u are trying to buy engine from malaysia (my country). is it true?

WHOA! No way it's no AY, how much money do you think I have?


@ bakat. Yes from malaysia, the one that shamcos had a pic up of some months ago. Problem is it's rusted to buggery and will only be sold as a whole unit.

Am selling my current engine soon to go for something a little milder.

Do you know Affa? Could you help me out perhaps?

I used to have a friend in Kuching but she moved to Holland so I have no Malaysian contact anymore!

was that the "rat" looking one with killer trumpets?

chris u got pm :)


i didnt recall anybody known as affa. but maybe, this fella used a different nickname from local forum i have been following for a while. if you can provide my some details about this fella, chances are i know a friend that knows him :)

oh yes, kuching is in borneo island, i am in peninsular malaysia. and shamcos is in peninsular too.

Got to love this small Datsun world. Thanks for that bakat, I don't actually know where it is! Just getting through all the preliminary stuff at the moment.

Roconnor, not sure what one you saw but it's nothing special mate, still an A12 actually.

no problem mate. if you got any details about this Affa, pm me will ya, so i can help you better :)

Wait...isn't this all coming from a guy who imported entire Datsuns to PNG? If anyone would know Id say ask that Clyons fella...;)

Slightly off topic but I just "imported" a 1960s dentist drill from the states, my partner's old man works in customs and told me if the invoice details said anything about it being medical equipment, second-hand, or a drill to kiss my $ goodbye cos customs would seize it in a heartbeat and paying up to get it out with all the right permits wouldn't be worth it. I was bummed until it showed up on my doorstep no strings attached!!!...The invoce description? "TOOL" hahaha phew.

I could ask him If you like if there's anything in particular you need to know, but I think ssskiwis advice sounds about right, its mostly stuff like dirt they make the most fuss over.
