"Thanks for the tip on those rubbers Ash, finally got around to taking the old girl off the road and sending them into Qld. Rollers and Liners to be done, i reckon they came out pretty bloody good to say they had to make them by hand as there is no mold..."

"Thanks Neil, might have to go with that option by the look of it, unreal how hard it is to get Datsun 1000 parts i can pick up the phone and order nearly any part i want for my 1949 Prefect but i've struggled with Datsun parts all the way through.    Pedro"

"Just getting back to the main subject, the first gearbox was from a 1000 behind a 1200 engine, then i changed to a 1200 gearbox with the 1200 flywheel and clutch now i'm running a 1500 engine with a 5 speed non dogleg box and a 1500 flywheel with the 1200..."

"Thanks D, got lucky and found someone who was changing the diff in their wagon, very happy with the 1500 the power and torque is exactly what i wanted and what was lacking in the old engine, the supercharger sounds good though there's no such thing as too..."

"Upgraded the old girl a bit, Recoed 1500 engine, rebuilt 5 speed non dogleg box and some 15" old school smoothie wheels, huge difference in power with the 1500 she really gets up and goes off the line and i can cruise up the hills in 5th gear no..."

"H150 only goes to 4.11 which is the same as the standard 1000 diff, looks like the only one that will give me a better ratio is a VB10 which is 4.375."

"Thanks Neil, I was told one out of an early vanette with the 1200 engine would fit but haven't been able to confirm that so i'll have to try something else."

"Ok so what i've worked out so far: a mechanic mate told me the diff from an early vannette would fit but so far i've found no information to say there even was a different diff in the early ones and they all had H165's that won't fit, H150's will fit with..."

"G'day beetwenty, apparently if the H165 diff is out of a van with the 1200 engine it will fit in the 1000 housing, the H150 will fit with the spacer but they don't have the right ratio's, mine is a stock 1000 diff so it will be a 4.111, I've also read..."

"G'day all, has anyone tried the Datsun 1200 front spring eye bushes yet, the parts reference section on here gives the  number as 55045-H1000 which is the same part number as the 1200 but i can't find any posts on here where people have actually fitted..."

"Thanks guys, i'd say those numbers are from a 1200 as it only lists a lower inner and not an upper, starting to look like i'll have to go down the modification path.   Pedro"

"Sounds like an interesting combination especially with the bike carbs, Just been reading an article on the Datsun 1200 Wiki page about engine swaps to replace the 1200 engine and the 1500 sounds like the right choice, they describe it as a torquey engine..."

"G'day d, don't get me wrong the old girl fangs at high revs and if i get up to 80 mph she powers up the hills too but i can't be doing 80 on every hill i come to sooner or later i'll end up with a ticket, the problem is the lack of power at lower revs, I..."
