Hey guys and girls the time has come to part with my 1200 sedan. I am heading overseas hopefully in Oct so the datto has to go.
1973 Datsun 1200 sedan. Worked L16. L18 crank, L16 rods, L18pistons, sss head, big cam, twin 40mm webers. Webers are fed by an electric pump mounted under the driver side rear. The engine is mated to a skyline 5 spd running out to a locked corolla 4:3 diff. 2.5inch mandrel bent exhaust.
Suspension consists of s13 silvia 1.8 turbo coilover front struts and brake setup. These struts run Koni yellow inserts and formula suspension linear rate springs. Braking consists of Metal King pads on std rotors. 120y front swaybar fitted.
At the rear you will find Koni red coilovers running in conjunction with reworked std leaves to locate the diff and minimise axle tramp. Braking is taken care of by the KE30 corolla drums. Also includes rear strut brace.
In front of the coupe dash there is a Momo steering wheel and 2, 4 point TRS 3inch harnesses FIA approved till 2008. The race seats that are currently in the car will not be sold with it as they were on loan to me. Some std buckets of Datsun origin will be fitted for sale. Interior is stripped and back seat has been removed and plated up. The cabin is sealed from the boot. Battery is now located in the rear.
Wheel are ET pulsar 14" running race compound retreads. These are fantastic on dirt and just as good on road when buffed down.
On a personal note, this is a regretful sale but life moves on. I rebuilt this car from ground up with L18_B110's help. Originally the sedan was fitted with an A12 turbo but reliability proved an issue. The Lseries now residing in it is the engine that was previously in L18_B110's coupe.
This car hauls ass, handles like it's on rails, stops on a five cent piece and gives change. A very competitive vehicle setup for hillclimb, motorkhanas, autocross and touring road events. Excellent first race car. First to ride will buy.
The price is $4000 firm. No offers. Car will be ready for sale next week.
