120Y Old School

[abubu]

wah...steering arm how much? i tot only tyre unbalanced ler...haha...yeah goin do it vy soon..maybe tmr o smth. next week is busy week d.

my car running with 4 dead absorbers for years already..lol..

btw, my carb no autochoke...no manual choke also. yes mixture too rich...sometimes not enough power time u hear metal pinging/knocking sound...not right timing already. easy start but when engine cold time car will hiccough for a while..nid to properly warm up for like few mins b4 it goes smoothly

 

[sam1741]

ooh...
mine got autochoke

that day i fustrated.. so i open up everything
then i trace the wire, only notice it is NOT CONNECTED!! :o :o

wow.. really...
so all the while the autochoke is operated by engine temperatur.. not the electric things

so now i disable the whole thing already..

 

[abubu]

sam...so ur a15 comes from a newer vannette eh...so got autochoke la...how abt electric fan? got?

 

[sam1741]

hehehe...
actually.. i dono what 'version' of C20 vanette lor..
but from surat kastam the engine is from japan one.. :)
and the mech told me is year 90 something one lor...

but honestly no need choke lar..
i no choke also can start every morning

the secret is to squeeze the accelerator 1 or 2 times to the bottom before start...
cause the carb got 'accelerator pump' will squeeze some petrol to the throat when press to finish
so like this lor.. utilize that
i never have problem starting the engine without choke

told him about my engine pinging problem...he retuned it...walla...its gone...he told me he lower down the idle speed, by adjusting the distributor there. wah suddenly car damn power...:_: he brought me for a test drive and charged rm68...expensive o not? haha...ask me come bek retune if not satisfied.

and btw, jus changed tyres too...1 pair dunlop sp70i 175/70/12...rm100 each tyre...plus alignment and balancing rm230...expensive o not ar?

 

[sam1741]

hahaha..
always not expensive lar..
if got good workmanship, and
he fix your problem.. totally worth it


but how?.. how to lower the idle ... near distributor??
adjust timing? or adjust carb ar? but carb and distributor on different side one... dono lar..

[sam1741]

that is what is known as skill hahaha :X-:

proper tuning needs timing gun to get the most accurate reading :_:

that what is call... experience.. :D :D :D
==============


anyway.. words of advice to all
that wan to convert engine.. :( :( :(

best engine for 120y, go for A14~!
dun go for A15,

i in a lot of trouble now..
cause A15 is 1488cc and A12 is 1171cc.. just slightly more than 25%.. which JPJ wont approve

beside.. A14... better fuel economy compare to A15,
better performance (A14 from a coupe? A15 from a van)
and other many advantages

i am so regret now

sorry to hear that, well discuss with your mech as to get it approve :X-:

 

[sam1741]

sigh.. now stuck in the middle and i am broke

anyone wan to exchange their A12 to me i giv them my A15 engine.. free lar..
got extra gift somemore

 

[abubu]

he lower it la...after lower car less jerky in mornings...but abit jerky when engine is heated up. havent really tried yet..havent been driviing my car much...lolx...jus follow my housemate car most of the time. most evident thing is the pickup power on the 1st till 3rd gear greatly improved...im very impressed.

actually like what ive mentioned earlier...the last of b310 did came with 1.3 AND 1.5 models but its in JDM market...refer to my previous posts when i did put up a scanned JDM version of the 1981 B310 brochure that only comes with 1.3 and 1.5 cc models. sedan, coupe or stationwagon, u name it...all avalible in 1.3 and 1.5. i wonder why it cannot pass since it DOES come with 1.5 cc in the SAME CAR but just not on sale in our local market.

b4 i overhauled my car...i had the option to choose between swapping to a14 or a15 or jus maintain the old a12. after much asking around the best option was to find a a14...which is ...super RARE....near extinction already. a15 not recomended by most mech because it cant pass jpj...unless u simply declare the car is 1.3 or 1.4 instead of 1.5 like some ppl i heard off. walla...they manage to get thru it...

 

[sam1741]

haih.. fustrated lor...
just more 2cc (0.002litre) only.. also cannot let me through.....
just 2cc more than 25% only mar...

now dono how lar... haih... can i told puspakom or jpj place say other place got datsun 150y one or not?
