New Zealand Datsun Club

Have been slowly chipping away at this, have cut spring perches of and dummied everything up. Settled on VW golf inserts, grabbing them on Saturday then will cut strut tubes down to suit. still some trial and error ahead t get the right height but Im getting there.

Also big thanks to Mitch/dat180 I now have an A15 and a 5speed sitting at the freight depot waiting for me to pick it up. Exciting!

new motor all tidied up



just need to get a new clutch and shifter bushes for the gbox then its good to go. Cant find hard and fast info on engine mountss etc so no too sure what to expect when I drop it in. Havnt compared them against the a12 ones yet though.

Have front stuts all ready to chop up, will try get done this weekend then its time for slam!

Will then see how much I need taken out of the rear and then do motor, box and suspension all in one go. Exciting times ahead.

Use the mounts off your old A12. Brackets and all. That's what I did in the past when fitting A14's to B310's.

Sweet! Cheers simpson

Still working away slowly. Got a new clutch kit a release bearing on its way. Also need to get flywheel skimmed.

Had a good day at pickapart, got a c20 (vanette) radiator, not 100% on condition but the water that came out was green and no obviuos leaks so a good start. Also pilaged some bolts and hoses that Im missing from my a15.

Two things,

1. I love Beaver
2. THis is a very sweet coupe

haha cheers man.

Should be a heap sweeter with a few more beans under the hood and sitting closer to the ground

Looking trick bro...are you doing the s13 brake conversion too while doing the struts?

I was thinking about that today actually. I think ill just stick with the factory setup for now and see how things go. No big deal do whip things off again down the track to do the mods if need be.
