i did. NF's was kind enough to send me an email telling me you tried to to PM me. It's all emptied out.

Seriously, If i could scrape up the $$ I'd be on it. I need a new A15, but the A14 is very similar.

i'll keep an eye on it.

i'd really like to wait and have an e15t/e16s(i) in the datsun 210.

Maybe the classic Datsun guys might want a heads-up on this one

hah! B11sleeper *is* the classic datsun guy. all those 510 goons have L-series. to hell with 'em

but you could let them kno, now, couldn't ya?

B11sleeper · Sep 13th, 2004, 05:33 PM

well in most people's opinion a classic datsun is a 510 or a b210. I have a lowly datsun 310. It's virtually a sentra it just happens to be RWD which is why it rulez.

L series engines are classic. A series are... hmm small

I posted it over to the datto forum.

Touche, you're right, every dude *wants* an L-series, or an SR, which seems the engine de jour (kinda like every Civic guy wants a B-series?).

Anywhoo, the only reason I thought to tell them was b/c I hang out at the 1200 Datsun forum from time to time; they have lots of info on DGV weber and other dinosaur technology. Many of them seem to still run the A-Series with what looks like some success.

Yes, and it will be more appropriate for them to know about it too

Nothing wrong with A-series gentlemen.

I just finished up this monster A15 with 79mm Subaru Justy pistons in it. I bored it .125" over! [yes, a buck and a quarter over].

Final displacement: 1608cc.

By the way B11sleeper, you have a model B310 [a.k.a. a '79 to '82 Datsun 210]. And it is not lowly at all!

BII · Sep 14th, 2004, 11:13 AM

that is why blownb310 continues to be da man!

B11sleeper · Sep 14th, 2004, 12:29 PM

that's a nice A16! It's gonna make some good power.

Thanks guys,
Now I have to figure out what I am going to do for a brake master cylinder setup. The stock master cylinder and booster seen in the picture has to be removed to clear the twin 40mm Dellorto carbs. I guess I'll have to go with a race car type system under the dash. Anybody ever seen this type of setup, or have any ideas for me?
