Gday All
I have just moved up to Townsville from SYD and I am looking to upgrade my stock 1200 ute. Any wreacker locations and contacts of people in the know up here would be great. I am wanting to do a disc brake (prob stanza cause i got 15in CSA alloys) conversion and eventually jam a CA18 and 5 speed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi bundy I am a Townsvillian, as far as wreckers go we are pretty poor of datsun parts, its quite sad really, its like its all been bought out, ive been to every wrecker in town i think, you might find the occasional datto but its pretty dismal, theres a couple of wreckers off the bruce highway, the furtherest one out might be your best bet (forget its name sorry). Anyways im looking to sell my 1200 wagon for $300, its in the classifieds if your keen for a cheap datto.. I know a few people with dattos but noone here is really tight knit with them as far as i know... welcome to Townsville!!! im sure u will soon love to hate it and all the posers in it

Hey Guys, another townsvillian here, people to speak about datsun, skimmo from top gear or Ian Ogilvie (down beside key motors). Skimmo and Ogilvie have and still race datsun in rally and sprint series.

For the ca18 stuff i'd recommend old mate from the carby centre... he has offered me the whole package before but never had the money to do it.

As far as wreckers, what gobsacked was saying try bullimore's (to the north) or Jim Beedle (out stuart way)

And yeah welcome to townsville, ever see a Red B120 ute around?? that'd be me.

Cheers, Geoff.

yeh i seen ur ute, i remember it sounding really chunky and cool

300 bucks! that's gonna hit a note in my head sooner or later..

p.s. Oh yeah, I'm a Townsvillian too

hey geoff, how much did ur mate offer u the ca18det package for?? im interested, if noone buys the wagon ima jsut ca18det it instead...

Unfortunately there are no Datsun parts in Cairns either!! Every now and then a 120Y might come up in the abandonded cars autions.

$5,500
That was engine, 5 speed box, x members, hilux diff, FMIC, computer and fittings..... but not includeing fitting.... just everything to do the actual converstion.

This was about 8 months ago now.

Another Townsvillian here...


you might be best getting a whole stanza out of the paper for $100-200 or something. I fluked getting my gear all free/cheap but I don't have any spare brakes or anything like that.

I never knew you was on here aswell Ash!! geez you get around
