Re: s/hand car

Thanks for the info Terry. Are the autos same and do the engines suffer the same head probs as the VL`s?   Kris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 9:52 PM Subject: RE: s/hand car Kris,   Towing capacity is around vehicle mass, but any unit that has been towing a van or horse float will usually have a big mutha of a tow bar and hitch bolted to it's rear. It's a bit hard to tell if a manual has done a lot of towing, clutch problems are evident, although not conclusive (burnouts stuff clutches pretty much just as well). An auto is a bit easier to diagnose, discoloured ATF is a no no, and also an auto with a big bar but without a tranny cooler is not a good sign. The diff will probably be a tad noisy in either of them over 140,000 k's, seems to go with the territory on a R31 but usually nothing too serious.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kristian Walsham Sent: Monday, 25 November 2002 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: s/hand car Thanks everyone,                          Does anyone know what the towing capacities for the auto/manuals would be?

I was wondering what would be a good choice ( Nissan of course) for around $4-5000.                               I have been thinking of the following;             Skylines- not sure which models.           Datsun 2400- the big 1600!! ( fit an L24e)           Are there any other fuel injected Datsuns?   Could people give me there thoughts/ideas on these or other cars and what they like/recommend and things to be wary of when inspecting these cars. Feel free to e-mail me off list too.   Thanks,       Kris.   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
