So I've managed to get a fair bit done over the last few weeks. Thanks to Beavers advice I got an s13/s14 gearbox mount from the mount shop. It was only $60 instead of the $220 for a b310 one from Scott or $270 straight from Nissan. They aren't exactly the same as a b310 mount. They have a slight of...

Carbs sold.

Anyone want anything else?

Both for $20 + postage? From memory they may need some reasembly. The guy I got them off had disassembled them to clean them out.

Just trying to make some space in the garage so I'm getting rid off a few extra parts. -Two mechanical fuel pumps -a15 exhaust and inlet manifold and carb -a15 vanette flywheel -vanette radiator hose -vanette rocker cover -aircon bracket -a15 carb Make an offer on anything, not wanting much for it e...

Thanks Kitch and tlsunny. I think getting a new one would be the best idea as chances are any 2nd hand ones are almost flogged out. Oh sweet, thanks for that Beaver. I've already tried the mount shop, they said they won't have any till August. I'll give them another try for a Silvia one as it looks ...

That’s a good point Beaver. I didn’t really think of that, I’ll use the correct mounting position now. Thanks Kitch, The one I’m after is a B310 60 series gearbox mount. I believe it is the same one that you used in your coupe. Looks like this? http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=232...

So I had round two of trying to fit the gearbox tonight. This time I put the release bearing and clutch fork in to check everything had clearance. I found that the clutch fork was hitting the gearbox tunnel when the engine was a reasonable distance from the firewall. On the other had when the clutch...

Thanks for the offer Kitch! Ill let you know. So I managed to get the 4 speed out of this and the 5 speed from my sunny. The 4 speed and the tunnel of the coupe was absolutely covered in oil and dirt. IMG_0857.JPG IMG_0847.JPG With a bit of scrubbing and degreaser it came up much better IMG_0851.JPG...

I had a good look at the driveshaft last night and I does look like someone has welded a new flange on. It's been mig welded and has a pretty porous section which I don't think would be there from factory. I also noticed that the gearbox mounts are much further back in the tunnel. With the 4 speed i...

Thanks for that Wal. Yeah the one I've got is only 1 piece so it must be of another model or someone hasn't shortened it when they put the different flange.... I've done a pretty decent search online and haven't really come across much on the right drive shaft. All that I have found out is that you ...
