Iori, sounds like your A12 wasn't running too well ... I once got my stock A12 up to 81 mph (corrected estimate).
Oh yes [standard disclaimer] only try that on a race track ...

i pipped 100mph out of my A12 (later found out it had a stengthened bottom end) but that was with a tailwind, 15in rims, slight dowhill and a rod thru the block when i backed off.

You guys really need to read the Datsun 1200 FAQ section!
Quote: Top Speed The FIA docs states a top speed of 140 kmh, and 150 kmh for the high-compression [GX] engine. To test the top-speed you need a long (5-mile) track or a banked oval. Mechanix Illustrated tested a stock but broken-in 1200 in 1973 on the Daytona Speedway:Quote: topping out at a shade over 90 mph We didn't take the 0-90mph time with the standard car because it was near the Datsun's top speed, but the SSS version took half a minute to reach this velocity, and continued to pull strongly to its maximum of 100mph.

Stock Wagon with original A12.
6600rpm (digital tacho) in 4th. Valves were bouncing.. About 92mph. After calculating on paper. It's hard to know how much the little tyres would expand when being driven at that speed. So it might have been a touch faster.

got my A15 210 up to 94 mph pretty easily. Different final drive gearing would change the top speed.

My stock ute would get to 160 kph, just, with my hands wrapped firmly around its neck.

Back in the late eighties I would go down the long straight on Mona vale road and the stock coupes speedo would almost reach the ton.
I cant say how fast it was really going,it seemed pretty fast to me and it was as fast as I could make it go.

At SCCA drivers school back in 1990 the engine was bone stock except header. Running on 185/60 13's the car did 88 MPH - boy did I get passed. With standard brakes I thought it was plenty fast enough.
