The speedway guys have been into SAf for yonks now at least 75% of the crowd have GX manifolds fitted to their vehicles as well as several spares.

Review of regulations are in play to permit extractors (still pending). It has been proven that the H89 and even H75 are better performers in the mid range and the early part of the higher rev range (bigger valves than GX) making the GX somewhat less desirable.

Not making it out as a get rich scheme all I'm saying is that you'd need to be weary of your actual costs otherwise you will find yourself in a very swift get-poor scheme. As for the Morrie boys they are probably a more solid bunch of buyers than the 1200 buyers as most of them are better off financially (older crowd).

All I am saying is that selling 30-odd tonnes of A-series gear is going to be quite time-consuming but if money isn't an issue then I guess it all ahead full!

I would like one complete GX engine with the 56a 5-speed attached. And I would also like a bigger 60A 5 speed.

Depends how you look at it. Morris- Austin Sprites aswell as 1200 market chase motors and 5 speeds. My empty 5m x 13m garage will home most of this.And I have done this before with Mazda rx7 parts before, when I imported from Japan.Time is not my enemy or the money. Wont be charging top dollar either. I,ll be looking at other things like good dash and consols, disc brakes, diffs etc. This isnt a get rich scheme and I hope everyone will benefit one way or another from it.

Depends also on the speedway guys and the morrie crowd.

Easier said than done. At those prices you will almost certainly make a loss.

By the time you've sold your 5th or even 6th gearbox things will start to slow, and then you'll be forced to sell for cheap to try and recoup your costs. If you can afford to sell slowly, keeping the market value nice and high (and worthwhile for your sake) then you'll have to be prepared to sit on how many thousands of dollars before you see any of that money return within reasonable and worthwhile time-scales. Not to mention paying to store and hire 2 shipping containers over an extended period of time isn't as cheap as some might think.

A lot of people have tried this before, only a very very small handful were successful but even they had spells of being unable to sell stuff. Small scale is the only way to do it and even then it's poxy money.

You have an Uncle in Capetown, now things are making sense

Getting of of useful info here guys, thanks heaps. So now all I have to do is call my uncle in capetown and get him to go check a few out.

Didn't know it was ZA. Even with no production there must be an extensive aftermarket available like here. If 2007 was the lasy year you'd think one could get all kinds of stuff from Nissan over there still.

Or even regular auto parts stores.
