I posted some photos of the SCCA races last weekend in Memphis, Tennessee. The # 63 car has front struts from a 1979 280 ZX. There is about a 2 inch (50mm)spacer between the ball joints and
the struts to make up the difference in lenght of the shorter ZX struts. The stock swing arms and ball joints were used. The spring set was removed and the adjustable spring set installed.
Spacers are used to set the wheels outward a bit more but that would not be needed with street wheels.
Webber's # 83 is a very well made car and the fastest of the three 1200's there. I should have taken more technical puctures and I will next time. Especially, I should have gotten at least one
picture the little quick change rear end in Peter's #20.
El Stupido Grande (that's me, if you didn't know) forgot one roll of film that has the pictures of he 1200 I got from Peter about a month ago. I found a roll of film today and wondered what it
was and when I picked up my pictured this afternoon, I know I had screwed up and hadn't put the roll in to be developed. I'll get them done by next week. I may have a picture of the quick
change rear on that roll of film.
I put a picture of my 1200 (Mareo Speedwagon VI) that I have had for the past ten years in the last photo. It has been setting for a while now but I start it about once a month. It has about a
90 HP A14 in it with a Holley downdraft 2 Bbl carb and the dogleg 5-speed. It gets 43 MPH cruising at 70 MPH and 65 MPG when I cruise it at 50 MPH and it tops out at around 115 MPH, not too
bad. It isn't in quite as bad of condition as it looks. The glass was broken out by kids. I would love to find some aluminum 13 inch wheels for the front similar to the 280Z wheels on the
rear. If anyone knows of any, please let me know. I could also use a couple of more of the 14 inch wheels for the rear of the new 1200 I have. I don't know if Datsun made 13 wheels that are
similar. They are a lot like the original 12 inch hubcaps. There is a bit of rust around the front bumper mounting but no rust holes in the body. Thanks for this club because it has made parts
available to me that were non-existant before. I will have both running and looking good by next year. I picked up a 80 HP A14 this week to build for MS VI. ENJOY YOUR 1200.........
