did you find that the engine is on a angle? and is it on the standard engine crossmember? did you relocate the gear stick forward

Good luck with the build mate , a few pics of mine for ya , I didn't build it , bought basically as it is , had a stuffed 12A J-port in it when i bought it , now has a 12A S3 Mild port , 48 IDA Weber , still tracking down all the info as i guy i bought it from didn't build it either , stanza struts and brakes , maddat brake booster , pulsar seats , modded parts that I dont know yet are the radiator , diff , both previous owners say the diff is standard , but it is much larger than standard. The headers are new , long primaries , new mufflers ( sounds real good for a mild port ) ... Just waiting on a few gauges and wire up thermo fans , 2 new tyres and should be right to registered ... we left the new motor pink as motivation to build a bridge port..

thanks for that. i just had a look at that site. looks good. looks like it could be a bit help to me... :) hmm went for a bit of a cruise last night n met my cousin in his 1200 ute:) warmer weather coming up, making me want to do some more work on mine. logging back into this website has been a help in motivation for me. thinking of maybe taking the motor out of my rx7 tomoro if some mates are free. if anyone knows anyone that needs parts from a series 3 rx7, let me know. but im keeping, motor gearbox, wiring, and probably diff and suspension and brakes. so pretty much any body parts and interior.

anyone know the easiest way to remove/ replace sill panels on 1200 ute? im finding this abit difficult at the moment. trying to get the old panel off without damaging the metal behind. also need beaver panel.

thanks:)

Hi Zak, last night I compiled some information from past years posts on swapping Rotor into Datsun 1200: Mazda rotary engine swap.

Has lots of photos of motor mounts.

thanks for them pics.. :) yer i cant wait. i love the sound of the rotary. specially the exhaust my rx7 has on it atm. sounds nice.. i think im gana eventually pull the motor out of the rx7 n just get it sitting in the ute to see what engine mounts i have to make and how good everything will fit. i will keep use imformed of how its going. and if anyone hears anything that might help me it would be very much appreciated. thanks

dude, datto utes and rotors go sick
would sound so good buzzing along to

Hi Zak, welcome to the club. The rotary is an excellent engine, and goes with Datsun 1200 very nicely.

I've heard some use the RX7 1st gen rear axle assembly... don't know too much about that.

Here's a couple of pics to wet your appetite: Rotor in Datsun 1200

i got myself a datto ute about a year ago. slowly rebuilding it, very slowly atm. i have got all the rear ute panels and all that. i still need to find a rear beaver panel if anyone knows where i can find one of these in adelaide? anyway. ive bought myself a series 3 rx7 with a 13b rotary. just wondering if anyone on here knows what i can use off the rx7 and modify it to fit onto my ute? such as brakes, suspension, diff, pretty much anything that will fit. im thinking i really want to start getting it finished so i can drive it. sick of it sitting in the shed and not being able to drive it. maybe if i start talking to some people about it on here it might motivate me to start doin some more work on it. thanks :)
