it seems that our car is underrated... the 600kg is for 210 models, 700kg is for A12 with 4 speed gb.. so i decided to weight my car... A15 engine with 5speed GB and 1/3 tank of fuels. i think the rest you know right? without driver is 930kg! conversion to A15 actually adds weight as it's much heavier than A12... Also 5spd GB is significantly heavier... so both should add about 100kg.. speaker box etc about 20-30kg, spare tyres, new rims and tyres also add alot of weight... larger battery, more wirings for alarm .etc soundproofing itself added 10kg. |

it should be possible... but may i know which flywheel u are using? generally A12 is smaller then A 15 source : http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=36670&forum=1 i'm still doing some research on ur question... as i know now A12 is 8kg , A15 is 9.5kg... i will double confirm n try to check can lighten how much... engine weight for A12 87kg, A14 93kg source : http://wiki.datsun1200.com/index.php/Engine_Swaps Edited by washabushi, Nov 16 2008, 09:53 AM.

Throwing off a few KG ( abt 4-5kg ) will make the engine very responsive to revs. The downside of it...errmmm...i didnt notice anything...some say top speed drops..but mine improved...weird huh? |

maybe what ppl meant by loosing torque at high rpm is when u throw off 7 to 8 kg's...for example, the nismo flywheel is just 3kg's....freaking light... |
