Re: BProjects order - Combined shipping

Prob only going to work for ya if there are others in Welly mate, re-postage will prob be half of postage again...

Re: Trademe/Yahoo Japan Auctions

A doppelgänger of my orange beasty I let go about 20 years ago :oops:

Looks like a minter... But $27k ?!
He must have seen that one on EBay a month back.

For $27k I'd want at least a cert for the L20b and brakes...

Re: SMP's 1972 1200 Coupe

Maybe a swap for your trick head Mathew! :D

Sorry mate, it's in storage now as I want the ability to freshen it up and chuck it back in. Future proof resale etc

Let us know how you get on with that buggy motor once it's in your coupe man.

To Ramflo or not to Ramflo

Just bolted in A15 came with stock carby with a small Ramflo on the top. Sounds pretty good when I floor it and give it some herbs but for some reason I always understood Ramflo to be shit... Any thoughts on the matter?? Happy to be convinced otherwise. I know it ain't twin sidies or anything, just ...

FS: Datsun A series extractors

Datto A series extractors Off an A15 apparently, may fit A12 or A14. Nice solid set, chrome with a 2" ID flange fitted. Were a bit tight to fit my 1200 coupe with A15...could fit with a bit of heat to move pipes away from idler. Had another set that ended up slipping right in. Asking what I pai...

Re: Top 510 build - interesting read

Interesting car... What's up with the undersealing failing already? Mechanically a stunner but she wouldn't last long in the NZ climate eh. I think the $$ should be put into the context of $200k being spent on VW kombis... Baby boomers with some cash to burn... Investment, or just buying the memorie...

Re: SMP's 1972 1200 Coupe

Sorted a few things out last week and now the A15 and 5 speed are in and running...yewww :beer: Was fun figuring out what to do with the reverse switch boss. Ended up being a double team approach- used the pitroad supplied hex set screw (M14 fine thread if you're interested : ). Turned out this wasn...
