12A and GSL-SE pickup tubes are the same.
Nice project. heretic is very correct; stiffen that chassis!

There's also an autopower reinforced (2 extra bars welded on) rollbar in the rear

Wotary, looks real nice! I've owned three 240's, but they all biodegraded up here in Canada. It is truly a classic design, but unfortunatley rust prevention was a new concept for Datsun in the early 70's.
What's the feeling from the Datsun/Nissan crowd wrt the swap? Do you get the same hassles the non-rotary rx guys get?

I have both. One '84-'85 12A (lighter rotating assembly and an undrilled boss for the 12A turbo oil return in the front cover), and one GSL-SE tube. Exactly the same. 
I will of course have to check it against an '83 or older tube, but I'm very sure they'll still be the same.
Edit: perhaps heretic will know when the front covers were changed to include the turbo oil return. It was either '83 or '84 when they changed. Come to think of it, it was probably '83 since the rotors were changed as well as the flywheel, 225mm clutch, 'beehive' oil cooler etc.

Except it seems to have been 1984. If any 1983 models went through with the boss in the front cover, they would have been produced very late in the model year. There are other, somewhat obvious differences between a 1983 and a 1984 engine, depending on its level of assembly.

i think there's a guy attempting a a mitsu 2 liter turbo swap
there's even a guy doing an electric motor swap, and there was a guy with a biodiesel turbo Z.
rx7will: yeah, that was me. I bought 850 secondaries off you, but I wound up not using them. I sold them for what I paid for them, I couldn't really make them work in a stock RE rail. I opted to get Marren 1680cc injectors to run as secondaries instead.
I can't pick up the spacer this weekend - i'll be out of town, but my gf lives in the city, so I can swing by next week to grab it if that's cool with you. I'll give you a call when I get back, and thanks again!
