hi guys,

i just got myself a datsun sunny '79

can some give me an idea or recomend someone to reco the motor in Sydney and how much it would cost to do.

also is there any must do engine mods that should be done to improve from standard for reliablity and made a little performance.

regards

Michael

Actually, the best & most cost effective performance upgrade for the Sunny Sedan with A12 engine is to simply replace it with an A14 or A15 from a Sunny Sportswagon.

If you shop around you should have no real drama finding a Wagon with the engine still in it. This ensures that you can get all the right parts to fit it up into your sedan without any drama's.

Most Wagons had the A14, with the A15 being introduced near the end of the model run.

Performance improvements can include a better flowing exhaust, a Webber downdraught carb conversion, & my personal recomendation, an electronic ignition. [Pertronix make a good conversion kit] All of these things wil perk up an A series at modest cost without troubling your fuel consumption too much.

for the dizzy im running a modified n12 pulsar (e15 engine) that is an easy mod to do by yourself with a min cost(about $20 ) off your local machine shop

thanks guys for the info.

i really wanna keep the a12, so any recomendations to reco it.

Give Jeff Taylor a call out at St Marys 02 9623 8826 - he is a top bloke who is one of the best in the A series business.
