ggzilla Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Lots more hi-po parts in USA than in Australia. You ain't looking very hard. There is no such thing as an A14GX but Aussies like to sell parts labeled as such. So stop looking for that and look for real parts like A12GX head & manifold, A14 twin Weber manifolds, A14 twin Hitachi manifold etc. A14 single and dual Weber can be bought new in USA. The twin Hitachi or SU manifolds were made long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Fucking Australians, miserable bastards they are hoarding all the Datsun goodness. 5 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 OP...Again, wrong coast. You'd be amazed at the Datsun goodness out left. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 The Hi-Po A15 was built specially for Australia, The Hi-Po A15 was marketed as a Hodoka H20 for the U.S. I have never seen a Hi-Po, maybe Ratwagon could track one down and send a pic. If any survived, the U.S. models were all recalled and destroyed because the gas tanks were far worse than the Pinto's ever were Company went out of business shortly after recalls Sorry , couldn't help it, hope you find what you need Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Man you are negative. Maybe you should sell the Datsun now. It ain't a Chevy thank goodness. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Man you are negative. Maybe you should sell the Datsun now. If you want a car that is common they have Chevys there. Quote Link to comment

I'm sorry that I sound negative, I'm really not that much of a pessimist. Just frustrating after a while of finding hardly anything on eBay, Craigslist, these classifieds, aftermarket part sites, etc. I'll get her done. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I've gotta try harder. Where's some places to start? I've learned a lot on the forums already, but where can I look for parts? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 All of us, even on the west coast, have to search for parts. We buy mail order, from eBay, from Nissan, from Craigslist. We get er done. It may take a while to find specific parts but you can buy brand new twin Carb setups today. Money, time,hard work pick two. You can't have all three. 2 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Fuck the A motor, drop an L series in the bitch! :) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 No L-series manifolds for sale on my local Craigslist either dude. I'd have to pay shipping to get one. Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Fuck the A motor, drop an L series in the bitch! :) I'll do a KA swap one day. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Move up to Spokane, lots of Datsun around here! And as an added bonus, it's 7 degrees right now!! Wheeee!! Heat wave!! :D Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'll do a KA swap one day. You will still need all that is needed for the L swap to do a KA. May as well start looking for that A10/S110 crossmember now. 1 Quote Link to comment
