Does anyone know if there is an active Nissan/Datsun Car club in WA? and if so, are there any websites related?

Thanks.

ummm SAUWA its a nissan /datsun car club with a bit of a preference to skylines :rofl:

datsun1200.com

ozdat.com/forum

datnet.org

datsun1200 is a bit primitive, but it works, has a good wa sections with regular cruises and meetings, some stuff connected to datnet (the wa stuff, cruises meetings etc are kinda combined), ozdat is primitive aswell, better forum tho

datnet is prob best, has good wa area, not as much stuff as ozdat tho

Yeh im an Old Dat nut ,I have a 1200 coupe with 13B and a 1969 240z(yes there really is 300 1969 built Zs) and a 1973 240K coupe plus a few modern Nissans inc a GTR.Owned 12 1600s and almost every early Dat you can name inc Super 6 and even a Prince etc etc. Z club is quite active.Im interested in getting back into the old skool Dat clubs so i may see you around.

sweet nib

im looking at getting a 1200coupe or a 120y coupe and dropping in a rally spec L20B with trick stanza rally suspension

u actually owned a super 6??

they are rare and few and far between - they ran the true L20 didnt they (L20A - 6cyl)?

Edited by usherly

No they had L24s but they were different in many ways to later L24s.

My old Group G rally cars engine is still in WA and Coung may sell it if your interested,was as good as any L20B ever was with rare head and many works parts and pumped out to 2.3, real one of a kind engine and it would never die tho the drive line did every time it was raced.

the question is nib

how much? :)

a mate has a crashed rally spec stanza and i'll grab all the bits of him for the changover - so i will be able to do it on teh cheap (all for about 2k including buying car - hopefully :O )

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
