'd like to grab the power assist assembly out of
a Datsun 210 at a junk yard for my 1200.. I really
doubt it'll fit in next to my clutch slave cylinder
tho.. Anyone done this? I just want easier braking.. ;)

I! I have a A12A engine in my 2dr sedan. GX´s
were never imported in Finland so I can´t find any
info about this engine. If anybody knows anything
about this engine (service information etc.) please
post that info to this page. Or straight to me. Thanks
in advance,<br><br>Mikko

140y from what I undersatnd, is a Datsun Violet
shaped model which came out with the A14 engine rather
than the more popular L series 1600 OHC. It also had a
solid diff rather than the independant setup in the
160J<br><br>Cheers,<br>GTX1200

ool.  I didnt know of any other 5- speed with 5 gear overdrive.  140y, i've
never heard of that model, sure its not 120y???  Later<br><br>Davo

avo, you're not quite right with your info. In
addition to the 2 5 speed dogleg type gear boxes that you
mentioned there is another!!....it has the same dogleg type
shift pattern but has an overdriven 5th gear. It comes
out I think in the Datsun 140y model. It is
considerably stronger than the 2 that you are talking about
but the ratios are not as good. Hope this is of some
help. <br><br>Cheers,<br>Bob

ey Andrew, its Scott. Well davo to rest of you.
There are 2 types of 5 speed. Both with the reverse
were 1st should be, but ratios are very different. All
5 speeds have a 5th as 1:1. Option 1 gearbox was
intended for road use (i guess because of the ratios) and
the other for circuit use because of the high ratio
for 1st gear (2.676:1-option2, 3.757:1-option1) and
close ratios to the 1:1 5th gear. I have a option 1 i
think as i havent installed it yet. (i do too many
burnouts and dont wanna ruin it, there bloody
expensive)<br><br>Davo

he 5 speed transmission you mention is from a
77-78 B210 (120Y). I have one in my 1200 coupe, it's
easy to get in if your 1200 was originally an
automatic with a wider transmission tunnel. Use the auto
tranny mount and make an adapter plate that will move
the mounts to the right spot.

an anyone tell me what datsun the 5 spd with 1st<br>gear down above reverse came
out of and how easily it is to fit to a 1200.

he subaru diff you mention is found here in
the<br>US on the XT models. It is an 3.70:1 R160 by Fuji
heavy industries and is the same as the OE diff
in<br>the datsun 510 (1600) also made by fuji
heavy.<br>This of course is an independant rear end and
adaptation to a 1200 would be a nightmare...

i all.<br><br>There is actually a Subaru LSD
centre that will fit straight into a 1600 diff. You may
want to pursue that - check out some of the Datsun
1600 web sites for more
info.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Martin.

ahoo! Team developed a new section to the
clubs<br>now we can show our 1200's. Start uploading your
pictures<br><br>So far we created a Members cars album , cool slides
album, mechanical album.<br><br>Best regards to all
Datsun 1200 community

ello fellow 1200 lovers. I have a 1200 with a
worked A15. Standard box, clutch. The diff is from a
1600 wagon. I want a better ratio and i think the
center is on the way out anyway. Any one know of any
solutions for another diff center?<br><br>Scott (davo)

hat a great idea to exchange information on
Datsun 1200's. Many thanks for the invite and look
forward to providing information and asking any
questions. I own a 1200 Ute or pickup as the Americans call
them which is my daily driver.<br>cheers

will get the work shop manual from my brother,
has all the info on the A12A, plus a section on the
SU carbs. What I will do is scan it on and email it
to you in PDF format. You will have to wait for
January though, going on vacation now.<br><br>My
experience with the SU's are once they seen better days you
waste your time and money overhauling them, I replaced
it with a Weber 36 DCD and the downdraught intake
manifold from a A15 engine.

i there all. Nice to have our own club now, and
thanks for the invite.<br><br>You will see I have 2
sites running, the one at
<a href=http://members.xoom.com/csnyders/
target=new>http://members.xoom.com/csnyders/</a> has been unreliable and slow
lately, so I created
another at <a href=http://members.tripod.com/csnyders/
target=new>http://members.tripod.com/csnyders/</a> . This
will be the site that will be updated at a regular
basis.<br><br>I'v sold my Coupe (miss it madly!), but will shortly
aquire a Nissan 1400 Ute (bakkie). I removed my A15
motor from the Coupe before I sold it, busy prepping it
for the coming Ute...<br><br>Regards all, going on
December leave Friday, will be back 11
January<br><br>Chris S

hanks for the invite pf...this club is a great
idea and I hope that we can all learn a bit more from
each other. Datsun 1200's are still very popular here
in New Zealand and still make very competitive
Rally/Club cars. I look forward to meeting you
all.<br>Regards, Bob.

ell from my calculations<br>rpm=6601 S=170.7km/h  <br><br>not bad... any
modifications?<br><br>daniel

ey Guys, I had my old datto wagon at 6600 in 4th.<br>I guess that would make it
maniacally fast. I remember it did scare me a bit.

It is getting better! Bom.. agora a nossa ligua.
Quero por umas fotos mais tarde da restauração. Pode
