cool, thanks dude

but which club is going to get notified? the datsun 1600 club? or are there
others? i dunno!

and are there any 1200 clubs in adelaide? thanks

As for plenum size, I had read 75-110% of engine displacement was the volume to
strive for.

Yeah 4 inch could be a little big I was probably trying to be dramatic and push the bigger is better theory. But i do now remember reading that a rule of thumb was that the plenum should
have at least the same volume of air as the capacity of the motor. eg 1.2 litres 1.4 litres etc. I couldn't remember the exact reasoning but my cousin said it had somethig to do with high
rpm breating and power. It was in Zoom when they did that twin throttle body on the Excel. I think it has something to do with the plenum always having enough air to consume and must be
linked to on off throttle conditions. For the other guys out there it was still very valid for turbo's. I guess relating to spool up time after closed and part throttle conditions when the
lag has to be overcome and the plenum refilled. Any comments?

For the muffler no I am in Gympie Qld but that's a good price. ARe they enopugh by themselves as the only real space to run one is at the back beside the fuel tank as the car is too low
(even as standard)and the floor is completely flat with no recesses to hang a muffler underneath. For $100 are they the custom made bullet ones you see in teh magazines or a mass produced
item. What sort of outlet do they have.

Heya Fester. I wouldnt use 4 inch pipe as the plenum. Its just too large. If u think about it, theres not many engines with a 4" diameter plenum. And the A15 is only a small engine. 3"
would work fine and flow just aswell.

Yeah we can get u a 5" round 14" long stainless muffer. I not 100% sure whether we have any in 6". The inlet and outlet will have to be the same. Either 2", 2.25" or 2.5". ABout 100
bucks i think for one of those. All fitted. Are u in Sydney??

my hat is off to mareo my car wouldnt be running as good as it is without your messages and the rest of the club ,,, have a pat on the
back from buzzard....bye...

hey brakeless(val&datto) tailem bend has a datsun club karkhana about 5 times a year , dont know why they havent had one yet but will let the club know when ones
on next.....bye buzzard

hehe, damn right =)

I work on my datto everyday, even though there is nothing to do on it. I'm only a young fella, and i'm eager to starting putting performance parts and stuff on a car. But i aont gonna
touch the datto, coz i think it's the most stock datto in all of australia =)

I'm looking for some datsun shows that i can take it to, coz i think my datto is good enough to be in them, but i havent yet seen any form of datsun meetings or anything.

Anyway, back to the topic......
This club is a good chance for me to learn more and mre about datto's, and if it went to shit (like the chrysler forum i participate in), i would be at a loss. everyone here know way more
than me about datto's and are willing to help each other out when they're stuck with something.

This club rules! =)

I would like to say again that I am sorry to have posted the wrong RPM/MPH formula. Sometimes, I can be a very big dummy, just call me El Stupido Grande. In this club, everyone is into
mechanics, hot rodding, racing, re-engineering, innovation and sharing. I find myself almost unexcusable for the error. I do not want to tell anyone wrong.
It is amazing to me that my little blue Datsun that I got in 1972 because it was $300 cheaper than a Volkswagen Beelte, has been universally and independently become the hotrodders dream
car. When I go to a Ferrari car show, every car there is exactly alike, except color, and unaltered. Pantera shows are opposite, there are no two Panteras alike. Owners hot rod them. Most of
the Datsun 1200's that are left are not in their stock form either. Owners improve them with their own unique performance, safety and more modern modifications, such as larger radiators,
brakes, turbos, electronics, etc. This club has a great lifeline in that there are older eople that have been into the 1200's for 30 years now and the car has not lost its appeal. On the
other side, there are members that are very young that have found the 1200 and its appeal and they will always have a special feeling for their 1200. This club is the way for the newer
owners to amass the experiences of the older owners. I salute all in this club and again apologize for posting the bad formula.

I would like to apologize to everyone. The formula that I posted for finding MPH by knowing the RPM is a bit wrong. I hope I haven't caused anyone any undue troubles with this. I will post
the formula again next week. This weekend, I plan to go to the Memphis International Raceway and check out the SCCA races. Peter Zekert, who I got the 72 1200 coupe from a couple of weeks
ago, will be running his tubed frame 1200. I have some good lenses and a couple of older F1 Canon cameras, I hope I can get a couple of shots to turn out well of his 1200 in action. I'll
fill ya'll in on Monday on how the Datsuns kick ass at the track.

The farther your turbocharger is from your motor, the more turbo lag
you will have.
