A14t carbs are differnt than other 38mm hitachi carbs, easy way to tell if its an a14t, or an a14 with gx carbs. But there was never an a14gx motor. Altho there was b210gx's, they did not have a14gx motors. Still better than no motor at all.
But it looks like those are 1200gx carbs. On a regular a14

It doesn't matter a #OOPS# who was around first. If you want to label a GX engine as a GX engine then that's fine. But don't be surprised when you come across some facts when you try and sell it off for something that it isn't.

That engine is an A-Series with GX Hitachis on it. Look at the distributor location, what does this tell you? Look at the rocker cover, what does this tell you? The carburettors are round tops with not automatic choke or EGR gear, what does that tell you?

I understand your frustrations but not being able to accept and understand fact isn't the problem of the forum, that is your problem. The A14T is not worth $1800 because it isn't a GX. That's the simple truth and you know this. Could you imagine how disappointed someone would be if they paid $1800 for a A14GX motor which had no GX Exhaust, no GX Pistons, no GX Cylinder head?

Or does this make all standard A14 exhaust manifolds GX manifolds? Are all of my H75 cylinder heads now GX heads? I hope you can see the contradictions.

Please take the time to peruse the Technical Library which has been so carefully compiled by our one moderator. Although it may contain some discrepancies it is absolutely the closest most accurate source of compiled Datsun A-Series literature and documentation.

So no idea then
Everytime i see something good or if somthing wants to get sold on this site it has to be slammed and worth nothing to everyone that dosent have it and when they do its worth more then its worth when there trying to sell it

It certainly is. Isn't it interesting how a little misinformation can go a long way.

The A14gx seems to have only ever existed in Perth! Makes it super extra rare now.

no deception was intended,,a little bit off history might help explain..fitted my first datto motor and gear box into a morris minor in 1974 ,this crated a nitch market asa side line to every day car repairs
as the wreckers wanted too much for motor /boxes on exchange ,had to find a different suplyof motors,wasn.t until 1982 that I found a importer bringing motors in from japan,
then put the word out I supply and fit different combos ,,i.e 120y a12 4 speed,120y 5 speed.a13 or a14 4/5 speed ..a12gx a14 gx 5 speed,,exhaust removed on gx motors and extractors made
in the first year I fitted 50 motors and boxes, scince the tally is over 340
in perth the supplier sold a12gx and a14gx this is the way they were sold in perth and always refered to
have also made and fitted turbos and a sc14 super charger to a12gx on 14 lbs whih efi
the old bloke b.p

Wasn't bagging the forum (because it has its good points), but a few members make it hard to stay positive lol.

I can admit to putting #OOPS# on the forum on Facebook but what can you do, we all lapse in sanity sometimes.
