i wrote up a bunch of modifications a few years ago and put them in my website

datsun1200site

it's not used anymore, but if someone wants to grab the modification descriptions for the wikki feel free!! mildman?

i had to laugh i havent been to my site for ages, i dont even have any of those 1200s anymore

yeah that is what i ment, our own version of a workshop manual with some specs and d.i.y. section would be good too

1200RC - well if work get's quiet during the week......

Excellent idea. I agree that we can write our own manual (our content). Things like torque figures and specifications I believe are not covered by copyright.

Looking Good. Some of the troubleshooting pages are started.

added my contact info to the 210sleeper page. cant make a working link for AIM :(

The wiki page is probably my better profile.

So i hit on something good with the what i can answer questions and not thing ;) it seemed helpful, we all have parts we know too well.

also, if you use the == whatever == you get a table of contents at the top.

I started a tips and tricks page for working on engines too - thought I'd starting all those things I have learnt the hard and painful/expensive way.

Seems like we might want to make it register first to edit the wiki, we edit as much spam as content currently.

I had a read of the B110, B210, B310 workshop manuals to see how they handled troubleshooting. The approach that I think is the easiest to follow and leads to the fastest diagnosis of why the car wont start is the approach in the B310 manual - which doesn't split the troubleshooting up (into engine/ignition/fuel system/etc...) - it has a section called 'Roadside Troubleshooting' which encompasses all types of reasons why an engine doesn't start and prioritizes them. This is an advancement that us humble B110 drivers should take advantage of.

I took this approach in the 1200 Wiki - I wonder if the wider community agrees?

Maybe there is a way to ban IPs from the wiki - those who post a lot of spam.

I was actually on a Torana wiki the other night and the same sort of spam stuff was getting posted on their wiki too!
