jrock4224 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 put the coilovers in and finshed coated the struts ... theres talk he wants to narrow his rearend a inch .... not sure on that but we will see ... wants to tuck the rear wheels more .. 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Maybe look into a roadster axle or 411 axle? Hamuck just installed that roadster axle in his aunt flo 411. Those both might be too narrow though. 1 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 yeah good idea .. to me its mute .. cause he wants to put a 13b in it at some point and this rearend wont handle that kinda power ... my yellow 1200 will remian a series unless i get a wild hair and use that ca I have later on down the road Quote Link to comment

Those both might be too narrow though. Man the Roadster axles are barely wide enough for roadsters. All the Roadsters we've run have low offset wheels/spacers in the back to increase the track width.

Roadster axle worked great for hamucks 411, i thought it might be worth mentioning. 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 But with the Roadster being an H190, it'll take more excessive floor mods to make it work that low, so... Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The 1500 roadster supposedly had an h145...cuz I'm sure those are readily found... I didn't necessarily say my idea was a good one :) Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 just FYI I don't think there's anyway the car can be this low ... I think he is forgetting what it being on the ground will change the look ... we tuck 18's not gonna tuck 14's and be able to go over a rock ... and this from me who constantly drives shit that's too low 2 Quote Link to comment

The 1200 carb works great on any A-series, better than any other stock A carb. :thumbup: It will work better though if you swap the A14 carb jets into the 1200 carb. They are easy to swap, but you have to have the carb off the car to do it. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 suggested that adn explained the validity behind it .,.. even suggested that might cure the dead spot off idle .. but hes gonna try it the way it is ...side note the yellow 1200 just leap frogged the wagon now ...

I'd bet money it will. I'd also bet it's lean at spots through the RPM range right now. And at idle. side note the yellow 1200 just leap frogged the wagon now ... I like this.

jrock4224 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 after working n can'tby truck work was finished ... we mated the brake lines to the 1200 and i brought his rear end to be reassembled .. was not narrowed ..the guy doin it started mumbling about it would need to be heat treated and shit and i was like ...oh he doesn't wanna do it ... 2 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 well its on the road ... well kinda ... smoked a pinion bearing last week so my yellow car came inside and donated the third member ... a 14 is needing some tuning its jkiinda gut less but since we swapped the third member we haven't tried it ....... currently the car is back in the shop and getting flares to run wider wheels ... a single tear rolled down my face as he cut the quarters ... 5 Quote Link to comment

All 1200s need flares. B) It would be hard to cut a finder... Actually it's really easy. On a 1200, it's harder not to cut them. ^_^ If you meant "fender" that is... :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment

What about this carb, it is listed as the perfect A series stock carb on the 1200.com site ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/HITACHI-CARBURETOR-dcg306-1970-1972-DATSUN-NISSAN-1200-b110-b210-manual-choke-/142071891251?hash=item2114250533:g:hjkAAOSwRgJXlSSN Quote Link to comment

B) i refuse to cut mine ... it will be low and i will just have to deal with no right turns or parking lots .... c notch is done in the 1200s..... hes still cutting front fenders .... its amazing how soft the rear leafs are... with both of us in the car at this ride height sounded like a drum machine .. bang bang bang ,,, ...he ordered a set of cheep shock coilsover things and put them on ... gonna need to cut a few coils though now its the opposite issue ... rides like a mini truck ... too stiff... and no low enough ... im gonna run air shocks Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Won't cutting coils make it even stiffer? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Won't cutting coils make it even stiffer? lol thats funny most dont know that ... in rc racing we do that with coils... cut a coil to raise the rate.....yes it will but we had to compress the fuck out of it to install them.... the ride is cause we have so little weight in a 1200 and way too long a ghetto coil over ... this was not my idea ... but it needs more rate, but not so much compression ... they were 150 new so there a sacrifical lamb... the air shocks off my truck will work with some modding ...
