Model: 1981 Datsun 1200 ute

Colour: Silver

VIN#: Coming very soon

Registration Number: Unregistered

Mileage: Unknown KMs

Price: $3000

I recently purchased this off a mate however I've decided I don't have the time to spend getting it on the road. I haven't got much information about the car, but from what i can tell:

-The body is pretty straight with only minor rust in the floor of the tub.

-The engine seems quite healthy. It starts easily, however sometime when it's warm it starts to miss on one cylinder; probably a minor ignition problem.

-It has a weber carb, extractors, and 17" rims.

-2 of the tyres look to be quite new; the other 2 are in good condition.

I acquired this car off my girlfriend a year or so ago and it has been my work car since then. It's a good, economical and practical car. It runs reasonably well, although the auto is a little lazy. The body is fairly straight but the paint is average. I cant imagine it would need much for a RWC.

Will accept trades... Could maybe put some money on top.

If it was a really worthwhile trade i could also include my GC8: http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php?/topic/159516-plain-green-my98/page__p__2291818__fromsearch__1#entry2291818

  • 2 weeks later...

Datsun 1200 ute Ad update.

  • The body straight. The only rust I've spotted is some minor rust in the tub.
  • It has been resprayed. I'd say it was just done with a rattle can but considering it actually looks pretty good.
  • It has a vinyl tonneau cover which fits great.
  • The interior has been partially reupholstered but still needs some items to complete.
  • The engine seems very healthy. It starts easily and runs smoothly. It was developing an occasional "miss" when warm but after playing around with the leads it seems to have gone away.
  • The gearbox and clutch seem to be in great condition.
  • It has a weber carb, extractors, and 17" rims.
  • 2 of the tyres look to be quite new; the other 2 are in pretty good condition.
  • It has a CD player with amp, 6x9's and tweeters. It doesn't seem to be wired up at the moment but its all there ready to go.
  • It has an alarm and remote central locking. I haven't had these working yet... could be that they're not wired in or could just be a battery issue. Shouldn't be hard to get running.
  • It also comes with what i assume to be lowering blocks and shackles (not fitted).

$2500

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
