OK guys my RB30 powered R32 which has been my pride and joy for the last four and a bit years left me today and now has a new home in the barossa.

Most of the money i got from the sale will pay off the evo but i will be left with about 5k max to buy myself a new toy which is what brings me to you guys.

I'm chasing a Datsun 1000/1200 coupe/sedan/wagon (not interested in a ute)

It needs to be in very good nick, not show car but something thats been well looked after my pops next door or something.

Don't mind doing little things to tidy her up but i don't want to be finding panels and having to do a respray etc.

Will pay cash for the right car but ideally looking to spend no more than 3k.

Do any of you guys know if there's a forum like this specialising in datto's where i can look for one or more specifically does anyone know of one for sale?

I'm in no rush and am happy to leave the money sitting in the bank for the right car to come along.

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
