Don't kid yourself, you WILL be reamed sooner or later.

Just do some homework and you'd be surprised at what you can get engineered in a little "commercial" or "promo" vehicle.

yea probs,but im in nsw so im not sure aye!

haha lol a12? nah its suppose ta say 12a! hahaha funny ####!

yea i think in nsw it goes on weight and engine capacity,but i spose it would be best to consult an engineer...


cheers

commercial vehicles have a higher limit for capacity increases.

for a datsun 1200 sedan / coupe / wagon the limit is about 2250cc NA from memory

for a 1200 ute i think the limit is 2.6L-ish - this is remembering a while back now so excuse me if it's wrong but you get the point yeah? under these rules, a "2.4L" 12A is right at home.

ring around. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

thought id add some update pics. a few more pay checks and shes goin in. woo hoo

just gotta pick up the extractors and a few other little bits and pieces like bolts for the g/box and shes in.

oh and im more then happy to hear about the 'commercial' use

Hey man, looking really nice. Just want to see lots of pictures and info on when you actually come to install it. Inregards to what they do with xmember and trans tunnel. This would be very much appreciated.

cheers

where the hell is that oil cooler going to fit... looks too wide for the 1200 engine bay, even if yo hack the front bever panel it still looks very wide.
have you also consulted an engeneer. if not they ca be harsh when you just rock up with a car to be engineered that the have never seen before.

hey 4nik8 if you havent got anyone looking at fabricating bits and pieces, g/box cross members, intercoolers, oil coolers, exhausts ect etc there's a place in Brooklyn called Forte Performance. it's run by a young guy called nick and he'll make pretty much anything up...aluminium, stainless, mild ....
last time i was in there he's in the middle of fitting a bigblock into an RX3
he's also done a bit of work with skylines and comodes
good luck

with a 12a rotary how well would it fit into a 1200 ute and how much would the conversion cost. ive also heard that rotary's eat up lots of fuel and spark plugs is this true thanks

if your planning on getting it properly registered youd wanna chase up all the pollution gear since that motor doesnt have any of it....
