Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Does anyone have pics of an exhaust manifold from an A12? I have a manifold in my 320 (on an A12 motor) that has the ehaust / intake manifold interface and a single outlet. I could have sworn that the stock 1200 manifold had two outlets and did not connect to the intake in any way. Am I wrong? If I am right, does anyone have a manifold they would sell me?

ggzilla Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The standard Datsun 1200 manifold is a single outlet. The Japan-market twin-carb engine manifold is dual-outlet. Photo of the regular Datsun 1200 exhaust: Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wow Cody, that's a great resource. I knew there was a dual outlet manifold out there somewhere. Now the questions is: DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE THEY WANT TO SELL? Quote Link to comment

Photo of the regular Datsun 1200 exhaust: I suppose I could just cut the heat riser stuff off. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I have this Datsun 1200 manifold which I am willing to sell Make me an offer. I have been offered $450 for it, the racers are buying them for $400 to $600 where class rules do not allow headers. Quote Link to comment

Are they IT legal? I can build myself a stainless header for that much...or less. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
MetalGear1200 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 That thing isn't worth its weight in metal! It's ridiculously easy to find them at the junkyard Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 That thing isn't worth its weight in metal! It's ridiculously easy to find them at the junkyard with a dual outlet? Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 you can find 1200gx exhaust manis in US junkyards? cool dude Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 A header is better at that price :-) Never seen one in the junkyard. Plenty of other Datsuns, but never for A-series engines. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Never seen one in the junkyard. Plenty of other Datsuns, but never for A-series engines. I'm with Dave. Seen plenty for the early 70s L-series, but fairly sure no US-market A-series got one of these. If you can find a bunch of them in the salvage yard, you should be buying them. :blink: Quote Link to comment

MetalGear1200 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 No... like i said, on my phone it looked the the standard A15 exhaust manifold. that was my mistake Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 like i said, on my phone it looked the the standard A15 exhaust manifold. that was my mistake I didn't read the following messages before I replied. My bad. The GX manfolds are very rare and expensive to buy these days. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 hate to be "that guy" but a15's didnt have the duel outlet Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I once had an A15 dual outlet manifold, but I sold it. Might be the rarest of A-series parts. I kept a photo of it taken in my driveway Quote Link to comment

I kept a photo of it taken in my driveway I hate getting rid of stuff like that. I had a set of carbs that were from the BRE 510 team. I was told they were on the #35 car. I also had a NOS finned aluminum 7qt oil pan with the P/N sticker still on it. It breaks my heart... So if I'm hearing you guys correctly, they were mostly (all) Japanese domestic parts?

KELMO Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 not to be "that guy" but that first manifold pic looked kinda familiar...... :P btw that is a single outlet Quote Link to comment
edp Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 David, where on earth do you find this stuff? Both the GX & the A15 manifolds... Quote Link to comment
