GX= twin carb engine etc. etc.

GX-5= The 5 speed became available in '73 I believe & was made available as an option in the GX only, so any GX that was sold new with the optional 5 speed wide ratio gearbox was a GX-5. I have a sneaking suspicion that the five speed was only ever made as a F5W56A box & not a F5W56. The close ratio 'option one' box was not offered as anything but a separate purchase & the few parts that were different from the standard five speed were available separately to allow conversion of existing gearboxes.
I have a funny feeling that the GX hood didn't become available untill '73 either.

SSS= New Zeland model only. Standard 1200 & 120Y sedans [no coupes] converted in private contractor workshops for Nissan NZ with cam change & twin DelOrto carbs. Lots of other trim & mechanical improvements too, but they retained the round port head. They retained the standard sedan dash too.
I don't know if the 1200 SSS was upgraded to discs, but I hope so.

1200GXman, I still have the two badges that goes on the C-pillars is it? And the one that goes on the boot, plus the Datsun badge that also goes on the boot Unfortunately the grille was sold with the rest of the parts I stripped out. They were in a "bolt-bucket" in which I kept all of the bolts and screws I took out, separately from the rest of the unwanted parts. Otherwise they may have gone with.

Will send them with, when I send your strut brace...

Now that's a good question PD.....GX badges from S.A

Is it possible?

1200GXman, would you be able to get new GX badges for us less fortunate members that dont have access to them?

Converted, i think they only ever badged a 1200 'SSS' in new zealand and it ran twin 40mm dellorto's.

Yes, the GX's here had twin carbs.
Mine has the flaptop Hitachi SU's and all the other ones I saw was the same.
The GX5 I think was with a close ratio 5 speed gearbox.
We didn't get the 1200 SSS. We only got the 510 Datsuns as SSS.
The had the 1600 motor with twin Hitachi SU's.
My dad had one when he was young and would know the precise details.

Its good info guys....keep it coming. Were the ones in SA twin carb, and whats the difference between the GX, the GX-5 and the SSS???

I actually sold him only the engine and gearbox. Then when he came to fetch it, I'd stripped the rest of the stuff off, and I told him to load that as well, as I wouldn't have any use for it...

You can have the complete front struts though. O and I decided that the heater wasn't going to be essential, as the 3" exhaust and turbo should heat things up nicely inside, you can have that as well ...

The heater ofcourse

Kulula, if I knew that, I would have taken everything from you for that price.
The more GX spares I have the better.

dattodude.
That is exactly what mine looks like. I got confused with the colors.
