would the gearbox out of a nissan prairie be suitable for a 1200 ute ,found one ,has got a a15 in it havent had a look at it yet ,just wondering if anyone else has been down this road before ,cheers

Shouldn't that be an E15? The Nissan M10 (Prairie/Multi/Stanza Wagon) is a FWD design, though some had AWD. None were RWD.

im with you on that DD.

The bolt pattern of the e15 and a15 are nearly idential bar a few holes. It bolts up well enough.

The gearbox is a FWD box. Good for fark all in a 1200.

unless you want awd? hehehehe

!!!!! Some sort of all wheel drive pulsar, I'm sure no ones done it before...

actually make that a cherry

i was looking for a a15 a bloke told me he had a prairie with an a15 in it ,obviously its a e15 ,id never heard of one before ,.

Spose its possible to have an a15 in a Praire. Cant really discount it till you see the block number to confirm, or post a few pics up and it will be identified pretty quickly. Hec if its OHC then its E15. Still, im pretty sure that the prarie didnt come with an a15, and looking at wikipedia, the first generation came with an E15 amongst others.

You could use an E15 in your car as they two engines (e15/A15) bolt up close enough to the A-series gearbox. There are a few issues such as disturbuters and oil coolers getting in the way, but thats all manageable.

I believe Matty1k? from Adelade has stuffed an e15 into a 1000, with only a few mods, so it can be done.
