Subject: [Roadsters] Roadster Spotting In Illinois ?
Message-ID: <285251.75197.qm@web36612.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I apologize if you already received this e-mail, but I don't think it was posted to the digest version of the list...
   
   
   
  Yes, It's true, I spotted my first running Roadster in Illinois in 10
years! I was driving this past Sunday evening south on Randall Road in Algonquin
 and spotted what looked to be a blue Roadster about 10 cars ahead of
me...Well the pursuit was on, I had to be sure this was a Roadster as
they are so rare in this part of the country. My wife was driving, and
 I convinced her to pursue, so we did. We finally caught up to the car 5
miles later near Interstate 90, and to my delight it was indeed a
roadster. We pulled up next to the guy & had a 15 second conversation.
He was driving a 1968 Blue 2000 with 2 white stripes & headrests. He
shouted out that he also races a 67 model...then he waved and sped off
into the Midwest sunset. The plates were personalized Illinois Antique
Vehicle (AV) plates with the letters "DATSUN". I didn't get his
name...Anyone on the list ?

I'm looking for OEM style tires. What is the correct tire size for stock
Roadster wheels? The old tire sizes don't seem to translate to what is
currently available.
Thanks,

The original was of course a bias ply tire 5.60 X 14. 
An early radial replacement was 155SR X 14.  Michelin
X had these.  Basically the same size.  I think about
as close as you will come in modern tire sizes is
probably about a 165 / 70 X 14 ?? A lot of people run
175/70 X 14's. a 185 is about the limit for the 4.5"
wheels, 175 for the 4" I'd say. YMMV

Dave,
Midwestern Council lists a Dave Wierz of Batavia, IL racing a '67
1600.  I will soon be racing my 67.5, and there is a 2000 from
Menasha, WI.  My neighbor knows some S2000 guys from IL who said
there was one for sale around Hwy 41 and Rand Rd. Don't know anymore
details, that was about 3 wks ago.

We have sent in our info to the 311 registry, things take time. We have a '68
2000, sapphire blue w/ black interior and a white soft top I hope I never
need. A reason for some strange behavior from other drivers dawned on us after
seeing the B.C. sighting photo. Why do they fly by only to pull in in front of
us and slow down and wobble off onto the shoulder? pictures! Spotted 2 cameras
Sunday.The cell phone waving out the driver's window today was a trip. Just a
couple of Z's in the area. Very nice local 260 for sale, can get info if
anyone wants.
  Thanks for the 4-5 pt harness info, much appreciated. Just for the record,

A couple sometimes show at the Oak Bay car show, and at Vancouver Island
Datsun Enthusiast functions (http://www.vanisledatsun.com/)

Unfortunately, several of them are driveway ornaments - slowly reverting
back to the elements from which they came...!

Dave, where/when did you get your car? Is it running? I can't recall seeing
it around town. Mine's unfortunately one of the driveway hulks at the
moment, waiting for me to get time to continue great things..

Subject: [Roadsters] Interesting Wiring
Message-ID: <9FDC37889ED3CF479988599DD681FA0F10AB9A@exch01.icontrolinc.com>

Hi All,

I have started in on my SR20DE engine swap in the '68 1600. The SR has
arrived, the old 1600 is pulled, and I am preparing for body removal. I
first wanted to sort through the engine compartment harness in the
roadster so I could identify where I needed to provide power in, and
where I would get switched and cranking power out. I also am attacking
things I don't need, like the voltage regulator connector, coil wiring,
etc.

I found the EXCELLENT color wiring diagram on the 311s.org site and went
to work. The car is registered as a '69, but has VIN 19360 which makes
it a '68 (fairly common occurrence from what I understand). As I was
disconnecting and labeling everything I first started scratching my head
at the 2 extra wires by the turn signal connections - no, not the fog
lights, 2 other wires. It dawned on me that they were probably
connections to those cool teardrop side markers that the '69 had. I went
back to the 311s.org site and pulled up the '69 wiring diagram, figuring
maybe the later harnesses started being used a bit early.

It turns out that my car is a mix of the two. There are side marker
connections, washer motor connections, and no "passing light" relay per
the '69 diagram. But then I have the 4 connection head lamp relay and
alternator connection configuration shown in the '68 diagram. I'm not
sweating it since everything should still work - just a lesson to not be
too surprised when things are not the way they are "supposed" to be.

Thanks for your responses. I also did some research on the internet and
called various tire suppliers. Here's what I found: OEM was 5.60S14.
Apparently that is an old-school number that has been superseded. The new
equivalent is 175/65R14. From what I can figure out, it is not exactly the
same dimensions as OEM, but it is as close as you're gonna get. BTW,
depending on make, model and dealer, cost is anywhere from $40 to $100 per
tire.

May have mentioned this site before but it allows you to plug and play with
tyre sizes to see what the result is: -
 http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

If you use the following numbers, for example, the tyres are near as dammit
what the factory fitted.
For 310s use 560 x 13: equates to a 145[5.6" or 560]/80 x 13" [22.1" diam].
For 311s use 560 x 14: equates to a 145[5.6" or 560]/75 x 14" [22" diam].
A 175/60 x 14 [22.3" diam.] gives a closer match to the 145/75 but
availabilty is always an issue.
Always wise to try and maintain the same diameter or circumference for
gearing and speedo considerations.

Message-ID: <BAY105-F10F4B457F8B285576AEF6392EA0@phx.gbl>

The 1500s had 5.60x13 tires.  The single carb cars and some early dual carb 
cars had the wide whites.  The later 3 seat dual carb cars and the 2 seat 
1500s had the narrow whitewalls.  While they are narrower than the Gangster 
whites of the early cars, they were roughly twice as wide as the current 
crop of 155R13 tires.

The 1600s had 5.60x14 with a whitewall that was a bit wider than the current 
crop of whitewalls - but again, not Gangster wide.

The 2000s had the same tires as the 1600s with a 6.45x14 (iirc) as an 
option.  Again, they are narrow whitewalls - but still wider than the 
current production.

Coker is the source for the bias ply tires.  Universal sells them as well, 
but I believe that they are a reseller of Coker's products.  None are 
cheap...

I'm sure some of the list has seen this before, (I hadn't but I stumbled
across this today, accidently, while looking for something else). I thought
it was interesting but bear in mind, if there is any disagreement with it's

Subject: [Roadsters] Engine oil lines available
Message-ID: <bfc.1bc2a0dd.33e4068b@aol.com>

Hello all,
 
    Finally picked up a second core and had some more  engine oil lines made. 
On the gauge line that goes from the block to the frame  rail they cut off 
the old fittings, brazed on new modern ferules and crimped  them to new 
stainless braid covered line. To keep the original look I had them  install some 
tubing over the braided line and reinstall the original spring  cover. That way it 
looks very close to the original. For the 2L flex line that  connects the 
block to the distributor they cut off the original fittings and  brazed on new 
ferules. Then crimped them onto new stainless braid covered line.  They used 1/4" 
inch line so they are thinner than the original and cosmetically  different. 
Both are rated for a thousand PSI or so and should last about  forever. 
 
     I have two of the distributor lines and one of the  gauge lines. The 
cost is $45 exchange. I must get your old ones back in order to  have more to 
rebuild. Also, if anyone has any old lines that they could donate  it would be 
appreciated. As I get cores I'll have them done and pass them along  at my cost.

On the 67.5 schematic I noticed that the windshield washer is electric and not
a hand pump. Could someone post a picture of this switch?

Also, how does it work? Is it a twist for wash, does it pull out, fast and low
speeds, etc, etc....

Is there a delay in the circuit, if so, is it in the switch or the motor?

Does the 67.5 wiper switch function the same as the 1970 switch?

Are the wiper motors the same for the 66-67 and the 67.5?

What about the tall windshield wiper motors, I know the arms move differently
but is the base motor the same as the early cars?


Thanks!

On our way to Watkins Glen today in our roadster we were spotted by another
roadster. In Greene, NY the cars park on Main St in a double row in the middle
and traffic lanes are split. Hearing a horn beeping that sounded like ours ,
we spotted a light colored Datsun roadster backing out into the other lane. We
waved back and tried to find them but didn't. It is the first roadster we have
seen on the road in NY, Craig Halsted stopped by for coffee with a '67.5 Solex
on his trailer. Does that count? Had a wonderful 300 mile road trip to Ithaca
and the Glen, up RT14 to Geneva and RT 20 , over to Cazenovia down RT 12B
through Hamilton ( Colgate U.) and home. If you come to NY you must drive
RT20, it is an awesome road especially in a roadster.

This is Gloria, until we bought our '68 2000, nicknamed Spike, the last one I
saw on the road was in 1981 when my ex-husband drove away to FL in MY '66
1600. This was also the only Datsun of any kind I had ever seen.I don't know
why we don't have more roadsters in NY except  nobody sold Datsuns here before
the Z's. Mine was bought from the widow of a retired Navy man who relocated
from CA back to NY. According to all the "car guys" around here the Z is the
first car Datsun sold in the US and all Datsuns are uni-body. I loved showing
the pictures of my car's frame. I think Bob Sharpe had the first dealership on
the east coast. So, if you don't have dealers, nobody sees, drives, and buys
the cars. Looking at today's sunburn, if I had my roadster in TX, I would want
a real big sombrero.

I can answer part of that.

The windshield washer has an electric pump inside the plastic reservoir bag.
It is activated by twisting the wiper switch.

There is no delay circuit in the wipers. You have only Off, Slow and Fast.
Yes, it is a pull-type switch.

Great show with a very friendly atmosphere. Roadster was hit...

Pretty funny...The young guys would first look at the car and jump when they realized the roadster was a Datsun (Nissan). But, when they checked out the KA under the hood, they really freaked out!!!

Hi All,

I live in upstate NY and drive a light yellow (ivory) 70 2L roadster. I
can't say that I have seen another on the road - except for at the Glen.
Although I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased a roadster item on eBay
from a guy (Marc) in the area and found him to be an avid roadster fan.  I
drove out to his place to pick it up and saw that he had a red 69 2L, an
ivory 68 2L and a 66 (not sure of the power plant) in restoration - not to
mention the most amazing array of spares.  Needless to say, I keep in
contact with him. :-)

I was out on the open road yesterday north west of Rochester in a place
called Spencerport and then north to Hilton - doing nothing but enjoying the
car (Cynthia). As always, she ran like a champ!

I had someone approach me at a traffic light that recognized her as a
"fairlady" - he gave her a nice compliment.  Had another asked from the
cockpit of her Jeep Cherokee - "Just what kind of Datsun is that?"

Bottom Line: Finding Datsun's on the road in NY are as rare as seeing the
sun in November.

the original Sora Blue if I can find a formulation for the paint  
guy).  I wish there were a general import type gathering here, could  
be fun.

Oliver and others ,
 There are many Roadsters in Texas ,however the Dallas /Ft.Worth metroplex is at 
least 4 less,I know of , this past year.This adding to several that have also left 
over the past several years .Seems we have The Rust free cars that the East coast 
and other areas want .I don't really know of any of the new transplants that my have 
come into the area .I do know of at least 20 or so cars in the Ft Worth area alone.

I hear there are plans for another import show (in Houston) next month. Probably about 200 cars showed up last night. There was a DJ both and a promotion for the new Infiniti G37. 

Marc, you should bring your L320 to next month's show and I'll drive my SPL212 !

Last night's show was held at a place called Planet Zero, which is a Japanese Anime Video Game shop. I even had someone stop by and let me know he has a 1959 Datsun 1000.

On August 11th , there is also a Datsun/Nissan get together to go to an Astros baseball game next weekend

Hello Fellow Listers,  I had my rad cleaned out as part of the restoration. 
NOw that I am breaking in the engine (68 2000 w/ solex's) I notice that it 
is running around 200 deg F.  The head was shaved down so I no there has to 
be higher compression and along with that should come some more 
temperature - correct?  I will get the beast in to a mechanic to check the 
timing too.  The rebuilt engine has just under 500 miles on it.  It runs 
nice on the highway & the only problem is a high idle.  An old roadster 
mechanic indicated that if the carbs are balanced, air/fuel mixture good and 
no air leaks in the body, then a likely culprit is air leaking by one of the 
butterfly valves.  It goes to him next week.  Larry.

Well, the R-16 is down to its bare block.  No holes in pistons, but  
wear on cam and lifters, and some wear on #s 2 an 3 con-rod  
bearings.  Bearings were all stamped STD so this may be the first  
time it's been gone into.  The reason for the teardown was a pretty  
miserable result from a leakdown test.  So it will be off to Long's  
machine in San Antonio in the near future.  I think I'll wait for  
cooler weather to start stripping paint and doing bodywork.  In the  
meantime I'll probably be agonizing on what, if any mods will be made  
to the engine.  Some of that will depend on the condition of the  
cylinder bores and head.  A mild cam?  besides possibly idle, what  
would the downside be?  Depends on the grind, of course.  Does anyone  
have any experience with the mild street cam for the 1600 that Dean  
sells?

Since there seems to be a need for roadster stuff....
My door handle broke today at the little arm which goes to the little rod...
It broke between the pivot pin w/ spring and the dogleg leading to the 
handle.
I have gobbed it up with JB Weld to see what JB can do....If that doesn't 
work I have alittle piece of stainless steel sheet metal to use as a splint

if that doesn't work I guess I'm in the market for a door handle...

Dave:
What year Roadster?

Are you referring to the Outside handle or the inner handle?

IIRC the 68 and later used the same style outside handles as the Z's, and on 
those cars you can swap R to L and just swap over the rods etc.

FWIW

My roadster is 1970, outside handle, yes the handle is reversable and this 
morning I am able to hold the mounting bar which bolts to the door and move 
the handle against the spring pressure and the JB Weld is holding up...

Can someone look in one of their books and send me the original part numbers for the intake and exhause vavles, rods and springs for the 1.6 liter motor?

Hey all you Roadster fans -

A few weeks ago I was traveling and was in Denver.  After the third day
of the conference I was bored of the same people and thought I should
have contacted a Roadster dude to meet up with for a "good"
conversation.  Well, I am now going to make an effort to do this as I
travel.  Sept 10th - 14th I will be at Ames Research Center and Sept
24th - 28th I will be in San Antonio for a conference.  I have contacted
Marc for a possible get together in San Antonio for some BBQ.  Anyone in
the San Francisco area want to meet up for dinner and Roadster
talk/lies?  When I travel I generally have to prepare for a briefing one
night or the organization has an event to attend, but the rest of the
nights are open.  It would be great to get out and about - have rental
car, will travel:)

Let me know if you are close to San Antonio or San Francisco and would
like to meet up to tell some really good stories.

I am currently working on an online parts catalog for the roadster. It's
still under construction and very incomplete, but I think the parts you are
looking for should be there.

Visit the address:
http://www.tungen.net/fairlady-parts-catalog

You will find the part numbers selecting "Parts - Engine - Camshaft & Valve
Mechanism - 1.6L (R16)" from the menu at the top.

Hey Y'all,
I have a 1966 1600.Have had some temp problems with it and I believe I have
them mostly resolved. After replacing the thermostat, and having the
radiator taken care of, it still seems to be running a bit warm, around 190
in Riverside heat of 85-95F. I had the timing checked and the Import (mostly
MG's) mechanic said that it is not unusall for these to run hot in these hot
temps in the inland empre, he does not worry if they are running at 200+ as
long as they boil over, claims that he likes them to be at 190 when he hooks
them to the dino. He said he likes them to run around 190 most of the
time... Now I have a 160 thermostat in and still running between 180 and 190
for the most part. he set the timing back a few degress and retuned the carb
mixture. Said the head gasket seems fine.  I will take it for a run tomorrow
in the hill (small ones around here) area and then up to the san bernardino
mountains on Saturday if it seems ok.
Does this sound like the MG iguy s jerking me or is he for the most part
being striagt? Hard to tell since he shows no resect fpr the datsun. Even
though he is across the street from my work, I will find someone else that
do things when I cant due to work hours.

I have a 1966 1600 since 1966.? It always ran hot until I replaced the two core radiator with a three core (layer?)?radiator 20 years ago.? Since then it's been fine.? I recall it was not very expensive to do this.

Thanks! It's okay for everyone to link to this site, including deep links to
pages and images. I am sourcing the part numbers from the Nissan E-Fast
system with some manual editing and post processing. Also working on a
system that will update the parts list with new and current part numbers
from Nissan. Many of the numbers have changed since 1971. Later I plan to
cross link the parts database with catalogs for other Datsun models so we
can discover possible part interchanges between Datsun/Nissan models. Useful
when new parts are not available.

I don't know Jon Ivar Brattland.

Spell check is good; including a relevant Subject line is even better.

Recoring a radiator runs around $250-$300 these days. Whether that's "not
very expensive" depends on your tax bracket, I guess. <g> That said, I
thought 190-195 degrees F was normal.

Unless you like setting and replacing points, I'd say go electronic. That
means installing a Pertronix unit in a stock distributor or purchasing a
Gary Boone Electronic Ignition dizzy. 

Subject previously discussed in depth here and the 311s.org forums, so I
recommend searching the archives.

I would definitely recommend electronic.  I bought Gary Boone's and it stabilized an uneven idle I struggled with for years.  In hindsight, I can attribute that to the old distributor.  It also seems to have stronger power throughout the RPM band, may be due to change of timing and electronic ignition, along with sealing off the smog pump inlet tubes.  Go for it, you will not regret it. Dewey

Message-ID: <000c01c7dbc1$fc9717c0$ba01a8c0@yourhryuc9xa71>

   Hello all, we spotted another roadster in NY today while fighting our way
through the Glen on race day , Royal Crown 200 Rolex. Dark blue Datsun
shooting up the hill on part of the vintage road course which is really a
village street. Every sighting is a big thrill, watching a roadster fly up a
hill is sweet. Town was full of great cars counted 18 Porsche, 9 Jags, 5
Lotus, a new Morgan, 3 Ferrari just on Main Street, and best of all, a little
Datsun.
  Just a note on the light colored roadster we saw in Greene, NY last week, 2
co-workers saw 2 Datsun roadsters, an ivory and a blue one at the Spiedie Fest
in Binghamton, NY which is about 20 miles from Greene. After seeing our car
and hundreds of pictures and hearing constant monologs about everything we are
doing with the car, they, too, can identify a Datsun roadster, and probably
read a show tag. Ain't education wonderful.

Hey Y'all,

I believe I had resolved my temp issues. After replacing the thermostat,
having the radiator boiled out and chemical cleaned, and all the other fun
things, I even tried the Redline Water Wetter which came recommend by
several Roadster owners. I cut back on the Anti-freeze/coolant ratio and
took it out today and tried to make it run hot and boil as it did n the
past. Ran great! Carbs threw a fit when the outside temp got up there, but
it cruised fine. In the morning I will attempt to take her to the 7500 foot
level and enjoy the day in Big Bear.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I will be getting a new timing
light on payday. That is the one tool that has not been replaced after all
the others walked off one weekend while I was away.

Will let you know how things go on the climb tomorrow.

Hey, 190 degrees in heat like that? Sounds like it's working fine to me.

Years ago, there was a cigarette ad that said the less is more.  Well, 
sometimes that is true.  This evening, I took my wife and youngest daughter 
to the local Cruise In in my 1500.  This car has not been washed since 1979 
- it is a true garage find.  Well, as I was driving in, a teenager saw us 
and her jaw dropped open and she said "that is SOOOO cool!"  which I thought 
was a nice start to the cruise for us.  Well, we had no sooner parked than a 
woman came over and was gushing as she used to have a rhd Fairlady that she 
sold when she could not source parts.  More folks came over, and we made 
small talk, then we went to check out what was there.  There were all manner 
of street rods, hot rods, customs and stock cars.  Several tuner cars were 
in attendance as well.  I had the only Datsun at the show.

As we walked around enjoying the sights, (been years since I saw a Pantera 
GTS in person...) I notice the Ford GT that was there.  I commented to my 
wife that it was likely Bill Warner's car (he is the founder of the Amelia 
Island Concours d'Elegance and a great all around car guy).  Well when we 
were getting ready to leave, I saw Bill by his car.  I went over and we 
exchanged speeding stories and other small talk.  I mentioned that I brought 
my unwashed wonder, and he actually pardoned himself from the others so he 
could come check out my car!  His Ford GT was among the most expensive cars 
there, yet he was checking out my humble 1500.

Well, after we said goodnight, my wife, daughter and I went on a nice drive 
as the sun was setting. Yes, Life is good....

Message-ID: <b0b0059f0708120716g1a085db3p994d6a0501df1d3@mail.gmail.com>

 What a ride! The trip to Big Bear was awesome. Drove up highway 38 through
Redlands, longer drive and it tops out at 8,000ft level. Thought, what the
heck, lets give it a test... The car drove great! no heating issues at all.
Very slight lose of power on top of the hill, the Carbs did go Rich, overall
trip was awesome. Drove up there with the hard top on (soft top is trashed),
took it off at my dad's place and cruised the hill topless. Had a great time
at the car show, over 500 cars to check out. Disappointed though, there was
one '50's MG and one VW Bus (which I think was the coolest car in the show),
the rest were all American cars. However, the 'ol Datsun Roadster did draw
some attention... Thanks for every ones input in trouble shooting my heat
issue, it seems solved.

I have an early US 240Z, series I.  In the US Datsun was not allowed to leave the hand throttle in place next to the choke handle.  I am looking for the complete mechanism to install in my car. 

Is this a piece that was installed on Australian cars?  Anyone have one for sale or a lead on one?

The change was made in 1970 for the 240Z.  ALL my high windshield roadsters
had the nad throttle tooo.. Apparently DOT rules were stringer, and since
there was no way to "shut off"  the throttle by pushing onte brakes, Nissan
had to remove them.

the only other info i have is this

HI, Perry. Yeah, that's a good question. I sold that particular set of wheels
(with the center caps), then later acquired another set that didn't have them.
I searched all over the place before I finally found a used set of caps. Those
wheels have been out of production for a couple of decades.

Since then I've learned that a fair number of MGB's also used those wheels. So
I suspect if you searched the MGB sites and clubs that you might find some.

my tire man says these are E T Western's that have not been made for 12+
years

any help?
thanks

Message-ID: <20070812.220755.28808.1@webmail11.lax.untd.com>

Greetings Roadster fans, I have a set of 45mm OER side draft carbs for sale if
anyone is interested.  These are newly made (2005) Japanese copies of SK
racing carbs that were made in the late 80's and 90's using the original SK
tooling.  They were Mikuni/Weber hybrid carbs using a combo of Mikuni and
Weber designs.  They feature externally adjustable float levels and
accelerator duration adjustments.  These carbs have 36mm main venturies
(chokes) in them and are nearly new with maybe 4000 miles on them.  They come
with velocity stacks (nice ones) and a bag full of Weber fuel, air and idle
jets for tuning.  I bought them new for over $850, not including all the jets
I have.  I no longer need them and will part with them for $600.  You will
have to provide your own linkage however.  I can email pics to anyone who is
interested, and I may list them on Craigslist in Washington state,
Seattle/Tacoma area.  Shipping would be at cost.  Great carbs that are sitting
here in my garage doing me no good... maybe they can replace your worn out
Webers or Mikunis?  Let me know...

Morning all. 

I took the 2000 out Saturday for a quick run to see check a few things. 

The car was not running hot but I now need to clean out the brake lines.

However, I have a more pressing concern. This has happened only a couple times and (obviously) not every time. When driving down the road I started to lose power and the idle was rough (with the clutch in and coasting down the road). First time this happened I turned off the motor and let the car sit for a few minutes. She started up and was fine. Last Saturday when this happened I pulled off the road and didn't shut her down. I just sat for a minute or so then she was fine. 

Am I boiling the gas in the line somehow and thus starving the carbs? If so what is the fix for this?

Or do I maybe have a clogged filter or crap in the fuel line? This one I can deal with. I think.

I wanted to get some input from you folks out there before I started to tear into stuff.

Tim,

I had something similar happen to my 69 2L.  It nearly drove me crazy before
I accidentally found a loose screw on the side of the dizzy where the coil
wire connects to the dizzy.  Sometimes it made contact and the car ran
great.  Sometimes it made poor contact and I thought I would have to call  a
tow truck to get home.  By the time I found the problem I had a great
tune-up done on the car......

Start by assuming it is something simple before you tear too many things
apart.

 Yep, I had the wire from the points to the condenser break.  The
outside looked fine, but the wire was coming apart - ran great, then
not.....  Like Tim, took forever to figure that one out.

Next time it dies, just check for spark by pulling coil wire and place where you see it and turn starter. 
  The internal wire for the points could be broken. I hit a bump and my 69 2000 died with this as the cause.
  I believe the wire is still available from Nissan.

I wanted to get some input from you folks out there before I started to tear

I agree with the prior comments.  Eliminate electrical

resolved mystery cooling problems by just replacing the radiator cap.
They're cheap enough, so if you think it needs replacing, do it. Dean also

Unrelated, my mechanic said I should get a new radiator cap (the one on the

Message-ID: <968460.40317.qm@web35511.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi All,
   
  After 30 years of collecting parts for roadsters I have lost my storage space. I am currently looking for someone to buy the entire lot of parts (no onesy or twosy picking of the best parts) that amounts to about 4 or 5 cars worth of good used parts. I hope to have a complete inventory list by the end of August. You will need to pick them up in Northern NJ as shipping costs would be prohibitive. Anyone interested in the inventory list and/or making an offer should contact me directly at:

Message-ID: <BAY114-F40ADAD82BAC97437C4C887F0DE0@phx.gbl>

Hey...and welcome to the 1st Glen official update...

The Good NEWS:

1) Sapporo is supporting us again.  Please take pics of their product and 
our smiling faces/flashy cars so we can show them that their product is 
getting exposed (you can email me the pics thetk5 at netzero.net).  In Boston, 
they've been doing a lot of more highbrow events...we're lucky they're 
sticking with us.

2) Tshirt preorder... Since we've been overordering the last few 
years...let's try this...T's the day of the event will be 20....in advance 
$15 (it has to be paypal thetk5 at netzero.net) or check/mo to Datsun Dave c/o 
130 Parker Rd Needham MA 02494 and received by 8/18).  If you preorder, a 
long sleave T can be had (add $2.50) as well as sweatshirts (add $9 for 
normal, $12 for a hoodie).

We have left over 06's too...$10.

Shipping...$7 and $1.50 additional per extra shirt...others hand delivered 
at the Glenn.

Any money raised by the Ts goes to covering renting the park and/or putting 
money up for next year.

THE BAD NEWS:

Because of some miscommunications...no preplanning has gone into the 
event...we have not secured the park nor trophies...I'm sorry...nor donors 
for the raffle.  Your assistance would be greatly appreaciated if you can 
handle any of these things.  my cell is 617-877-7453. dtk

Centrally isolated Upstate NY is getting much more interesting, at least as
far as car spotting goes. I forgot to mention on the return trip from the Glen
last week we met up with a willow green '68 MGC about 3 miles from home and
exchanged compliments. Yes, that's a C! This MG really resembles a Datsun,
much better looking than a B. My cousin had red one he bought new and had for
several years in Saratoga, NY. Really enjoyed that car. Frankly, John thought
I was a bit crazy insisting it was an MGC until we stopped.

A bit off topic but any of you in Orange County may want to stop by Connell
Nissan in Costa Mesa to see the new NISMO 350Z.  1,500 are being produced,
all with special serial numbers in the cabin.  There are 1,100 Nissan
dealers in the US.  Connell managed to get 6 and 5 are in stock.  No
options.  It is a serious car.  You can read about it in Autoweek and other
mags.  Mark Ranauro is the General Manager, if you want to call first.  When
these are gone, that's it.  No dealer trades, no color options.  You can
also see them at:

Can someone tell me what type of radiator cap a (low windshield) 1600 uses? 
Such as how many lbs. of pressure, suggested brand of cap, etc. My old cap 
has finally given up the ghost. I don't mean the "push-button" cap on the 
overflow canister, but the cap that sits just in front of the cylinder head. 
Thanks!

Infinite. It's a blank cap, used for filling the cooling system:

Michael,

That cap can be repaired if the metal is in good shape. That cap has no 
pressure rating, just a flat cap with a sheet of rubber in it to seal 
off the tower. Find a sheet of thick rubber gasket material and cut a 
piece to fit. I did this to my cap quite a few years ago and it hasn't 
leaked since. If you can't find sheet gasket material, check around for 
a radiator cap or gas cap that you can get a large enough piece of 
material out of to make the seal. It doesn't have to cover the whole 
cap, just around the edge where it seals to the neck.

Also, look closely at the sealing surface on the neck. They get rough, 
which causes damage to the gasket, as well as allows small spaces for 
leakage. If it is rough, take the neck off and carefully rub it on a 
piece of fine sand paper on a flat surface. Don't go overboard, just 
enough to get a good seal.

Good luck.
Peace,
Pat

Can someone tell me what type of radiator cap a (low windshield) 1600 uses? 
Such as how many lbs. of pressure, suggested brand of cap, etc. My old cap 
has finally given up the ghost. I don't mean the "push-button" cap on the

Since they've done your lines, they should have the pattern on hand.  I 
would rather take the time and send your own lines, though.  They said 
they had the lines for my '48 Dodge, but when I got them, they were 
completely wrong.  Not only the wrong bends, but also the wrong 
diameter!  Once I sent them my old lines, they were able to fab up exact 
replicas.  Wasn't completely happy with the results because my lines had 
been replaced at some point in the past, so they weren't factory bends.  
If I were to do it all over again, I'd make my own up.  Much easier to 
do than you would think (stainless is a bit harder to do, though)

Thanks for everyone's patience over the last numerous months, my
plethora of dumb questions and shortage of knowledge when it comes to
all things electrical.
Also, a huge thanks to all contributors, Pat Horne, John Sandhoff, and
numerous others.
I replaced my blinker switch assembly with a used one from Gary
Wasserman's collection of DOS (dusty, old stock) parts, and I am back
completely legal with functioning blinkers!
Whooppee!
I still have a jumper which bypasses one of the fuse locations on my
fusebox, due to the one fuse running at ~300 degrees, which I probably
don't need anymore, but it isn't "in the way" and all the connections
are solid, so I think I'll just leave it for now.

I called the local Datsun dealer on Monday and was told it was two or three days from Houston for the correct part.? I had nothing to do so I went into a local parts store and showed the counterman the broken line.? He said that it was from a Chevy.

Sure enough, he had a Chevy line that was very close and with bending?modifications it fit perfectly.? Its still on the car.

Don't know if the 68 thread is the same, but I would look at old domestic parts for a replacement, at least if you are stuck somewhere and can't wait.

Since they've done your lines, they should have the pattern on hand.  I 
would rather take the time and send your own lines, though.  They said 
they had the lines for my '48 Dodge, but when I got them, they were 
completely wrong.  Not only the wrong bends, but also the wrong 
diameter!  Once I sent them my old lines, they were able to fab up exact 
replicas.  Wasn't completely happy with the results because my lines had 
been replaced at some point in the past, so they weren't factory bends.  
If I were to do it all over again, I'd make my own up.  Much easier to 
do than you would think (stainless is a bit harder to do, though)

Subject: [Roadsters] False economy, clutch pedal height and feel
Message-ID: <8AB7DFF4B7187C43B0C93FA2D55E5B8C09C1D3EA@xcgca210.northgrum.com>

Some know that in the last 2 months, every time I took the roadster out
for a long drive I ended up driving the last 4 blocks-4 miles with no
clutch.
First, the slave cylinder seals sang their last, and in replacing it I
must have given the flex line a twist that 20 years in the same position
couldn't endure, so that got replaced.  Then, on the way home from the
weigh-in with Eric's 302 roadster, the clutch master started puking its
contents all over my floormats. (went thru a quart bottle and a half on
the way home, that constitutes a flushed sytem, yes?)
So, I found that Pep Boyz stocks the clutch master (a Beck-Arnley part
no.) so I ordered one thru them.  After their 3-5 business days pass,
they tell me it is on backorder and they have no idea when the
distributor will have them again.  After giving them a bit of an earful,
the guy tells me he'll call around, and calls me back in 20 minutes
saying he'll have one there the enxt afternoon.
When I get it, it says "Centric" parts on the box, isn't a Nabco
cylinder, says "made in taiwan" on the box....... Uhhh, great..... But
all the fittings are in the correct locations, correct sized flare
fitting receptacles (verified that with my bench bleeder tubes), so
everything seems okay except the adjustable pushrod, already set at its
shortest position, is ~ 1/4-3/8" too long.

I installed it, and it functions fine, except for the following:
1. This pushrod length difference has caused is the clutch pedal
position to be what feels like is 3" higher up than before.  (used to be
gas pedal 'here", both brake and clutch about 1.5" higher than "here".
Now my knee almost hits the steering wheel every time I shift.
2.  The clutch pedal will go all the way to the floor, but releases in
the last 1-2" of the TOP of the pedal swing.  I probably don't have to
push it all the way to the floor, but I don't feel comfortable
experimenting how much shorter, as that is just an audible lesson in
"grindage". I think this is due to the adjustment of the slave pushrod,
correct? As I move its adjustment it should take up more slack in the
throwout bearing arm / pressure plate, which should move the clutch
actuation point to a more conventional place in the pedal travel.

So in terms of #1, do I remove all the shims from my brake master (some
thick ones, probably 1/8" total stack) and move them to the clutch
master, to try and lower the pedal? (which would also raise the brake
pedal level a bit)

Moral of the story:  buy the parts from vendors, clutch masters are
being outsourced.
And/or the parts listing is assuming the clutch master for a ??? (80's
210? 'cept that would have metric line fittings) has enough adjustment
to be listed for roadsters, which ain't the case.

Message-ID: <000001c7e365$2118e470$95c45118@ikol6663406961>

Hi folks, I have a brake issue and would appreciate some advice.

 

High windshield, 1600 with a Dual Master Brake Cylinder, Dunlop front brake
pistons, stock lines and rears.

 

Here's the problem:

 

Went to bleed the system, noticed brake fluid level was a touch low so fluid
was added. Rear and front lines are bled and free of air with the assistance
of a pedal man.

 

But

1) The brake pedal still has a dead / soft feel.

2) Brake pressure on rears is good

3) Noticed that air is entering into the main reservoir and exiting at the
top

4) ZERO brake pressure on front calipers. (examined one of front caliper
pistons and caliper pistons seem to fine and relatively in good shape)

 

Is the problem the dual master cylinder?

Will a re build kit fix the problem?

Or is new master needed?

Are any kits better than others?

Or is the problem something else?

Hi roadster fans,
I just want to inform everyone that there are 2 EI
distributors on Ebay 
right now. One is mine, which I put up for auction
last night, and 
coincidentally there is another one put up a few
minutes later that has 
a description that has been essentially copied either
from one of my 
previous auctions or from one of the website
descriptions of my EI 
distributor.  I don't have a patent on this EI
distributor conversion 
but the other guy's distributor is a very different
distributor from an 
earlier Nissan A series engine. His might work great,
but I don't want 
anyone to think it's mine.  I've never advertised my
very few Bay 
auctions for my EI distributor on this list.  The one
I have up now on 
Ebay is a very nice one, suitable for a show car, with
mostly new parts. 
It's Ebay item # 280144811335

The other one is item # 280144962163     

I would have been OK with this if the guy hadn't used
most of my 
description.  The guy can't even spell the words
"Electronic 
Distributor" in his item description.  

You be the judge.

Thanks,

Rain all weekend and water seepage into my basement. I did nothing with either Roadster. :-(   I did start the remodel of the basement at least a year early while cleaning up the water damage!

Sooo, anyway, here is a Roadster question for any and all of you:

When you are putting on your lower radiator hose. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THE HOSE TO GO ONTO THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIATOR? Sorry for the yelling bit.

It took me close to a half hour to get the lower part of the hose on. Loads of cussing, a couple scrapes, and a bruised hand later, I finally get it on. (BTW, it was a new hose and thus had no flexibility.) Since I have very big hands, I could not really get my hand in any where.

I am just curious as to how any of you deal with this.

 You can use a hairdryer to warm up the hose to make it more flexible. You might wnt to put the hose on first then drop the radiator in. Others take the radiator supports off, put everything together and then drop it all back in. It can be a struggle with the fan shroud especially.

Raining like heck here, too. Plants may love it, but I don't. Unusual and
makes for an already too short summer.

All good ideas. Also, are you trying to do it from underneath with the
radiator scoop on? If so, remove the scoop.

I just want to say that I think Gary handled this very nicely, instead of
flaming the "other guy".  It would be nice if the "other guy", who I would
imagine is a Roadster person, would create his own documentation instead of
copying the efforts of Gary... documents that take time, effort and thought to
get right.  My friend Bill Beaubier and I did our own electronic dizzy back in
1988 after seeing one at Shasta done by a guy from the Napa Valley, and we
always tried to give him credit even though I couldn't remember his name
(thus, "the guy from Napa Valley").  Competition and free market is part of
the American way, but so is respect for the efforts of others... at least I
would hope so.  Just my 2 cents...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that ebay has a complaint section for copied material or something along the lines of this string's subject matter.... 

Maybe Gary should look into that and get the other guy's auction pulled?

The first one is a 1600 that I finished building?in 1999 that has the Pertronix ignition?and I?am happy to?say?it?has worked perfectly for over 8 years. (Sorry Gary.... didn't know of you then?or that?I even had a choice?) The second car is a 2 liter that has Gary's dizzy installed. I've had this car for a little over two years?and?am happy to report?the ignition not only?looks great?but that?it?has also worked?absolutely perfect?since day one. Third car is another 1600?that I picked up with a very long list of problems, one of which?being a failed stock ignition system.?I recently installed?the same?electronic ignition that Tim Minor has in his 2 liter?and in my opinion it has performed as well as either ignition in my other two cars. I don't know everything about this new distributor but I do?know that it is?not the earlier Nissan A series and in fact uses the standard Hitachi ignition from the Sentra. (Made sure I picked up a spare when I bought it.) 

I've got no steak here so I'm seriously not trying to promote anybody's ignition. I?like Gary's dizzy?because it's?an excellent?unit?and it?also looks great. I?like the Pertronix?unit because it's?a good choice for those who don't want to spend a lot of money but would like?to get away from the prehistoric points system. I?like this new?distributor?because?it uses the stock Roadster cap and hides all of the electronics on the?inside instead of the outside giving a "stock appearance" under the hood.

I can tell you from experience that all 3 are way better than any stock system and the only regret you may have after?putting?any of them?in your car is not doing it sooner.

Anyone need a room at Watkins Glen?

We have reserved a 7 bedroom house for the Watkins Glen weekend, on the lake
about 10 miles north of town.  The rate is $400 a night, 3 night minimum.  As
of now 4 rooms are spoken for, obviously the more rooms occupied, the cheaper
for everyone.  Anyone need a place to stay?

4 Rooms = $100 a room per night.
6 rooms = $66 a room per night

I don't usually push my ebay stuff on this list but I would like this set to go to someone on this list if possible. 

I was able to post a few things on ebay before the water started coming in my basement. One is a very nice set of Teardrops. Item # 120153018939. 

I will ship for free if price is close to the $150 I have in the set and the winner is on this list. Details to be worked out after auction ends.

Another lube you can try is liquid dishwashing detergent.
A little of that goop smeared around the inside of the hose and VIOLA! "in
like Flynn" as they say. 

When you are putting on your lower radiator hose. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET
THE HOSE TO GO ONTO THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIATOR? Sorry for the yelling

I use K-Y lube as it water base with no residue. I also have big hands and 
more than offen take the radiator out completely then fit the hose.

Gary, 

 

Hopefully they are not claiming to be a "Boone Dizzy".  When I go to shows
now people just refer to their updated distributor as a "Boone Dizzy".  Are
you still in need of cores?  I have one still floating around with 2L
weights and springs (anybody want them?).

I'm also looking for some carb advice from the gurus - I've tried "dipping"
my carbs to restore the metal to like new (after disassembly of course), but
don't seem to get the results I've seen when others do it. I used the "gunk
new formula" carb dip with "hydroseal"... is this stuff no good? I even went
so far as to leave the parts overnight. My guess is that the "new" formula
is a weaker one to be more environmentally friendly, and therefore less
effective...!

What's the best way to get the carbs all shiny and new looking (but not
polished)?? 

(and actually, to be honest with all you nice folks out there, I need the
info for my Suzuki Motorcycle, but carbs are carbs, right??)

It appears that Turner Nissan in Sacramento, CA (a dealer that
had two well respected parts counter dudes - Warren and Bill -
that knew their 311's) has now become Miata Nissan?!? The local
Z club (ZONC) also no longer lists them as "discount friendly".

Subject: [Roadsters] Left front fender to Watkin's Glen? $60
Message-ID: <756510.96794.qm@web62413.mail.re1.yahoo.com>

Greetings,

I have a left front fender that I no longer need, and could bring with me
to Watkins Glen on September 8th. Maybe you need one, or you know someone
who needs one and can deliver it to them?

It's a used fender, with the large fender flare suitable for the '68-'69
years. It has holes for the side trim and badges, and antenna. It doesn't
have a hole for the '69 teardrop side light, but that would be easy to
make.

It's condition is fair. It has no rust holes except for one on the very
top behind the headlight. There is some surface rust here and there and
evidence of an older repair to a dent in the side. There is body filler in
that area and possibly in other areas. Otherwise it's a solid fender with
good steel in the fender flare and lower rear corner. Close-up photographs
are available by email, just ask.

At $60 it's a great fender for someone on a tight budget. I'd also be
willing to trade it for a dent-free passenger door or other parts.

Hmmm, complete set including 2 rear seat covers and 4 head rests?
Methinks this maybe isn't a custom-fit set...

It can't even be for the 4 seater 212's - those didn't have headrests :-)

#88 was listed on E-Bay earlier in the week but did not make the reserve..Any
one
interested in persuing it further can contact the owner..
it can be found in the completed item section ..# 320151307816...or 1967
datsun  .
I found the interier to most interesting of the car...purple velvet....it this
was a trick
to attract chicks...I think it gave them the wrong idea....the cute car
itself is the magnet.
it has solexes with the air cleaner in the trunk...

Perry ( if in fact that's who you really are.. ;-0 ),

Those look like American Racing (ARE) rims - like item# 180152433249 on Ebay
http://tinyurl.com/yvtffj
There are several place around the web that sell centers for ARE wheels,
including Ebay.  You just have to check the bore size, and check if there is
a chamfer or slight counter-sink on the backside of the rim.  Here's a set
http://tinyurl.com/2co9zd that would likely work.

And if the bores on your wheels don't match ARE, here's a source for center
caps http://www.wheelcomponents.com/caps.html that lists them by bore size.
I bought a set of their #98 caps to fit a set of Western Minilite look-alike
wheels I'm running on the "R", our custom '66 1600.  Then I picked up a set
of four clear domed, self-adhesive logos for the center
http://tinyurl.com/35vrft There's a number of pics of them on various pages
on my website ( see link below)

This is the message I sent on 8-28, twice and tried again this morning. My
filter would not send it as a reply. This is just another reason why I like
carbs and Datsuns. Now I have something else to adjust.

We can vouch that Al Boettcher is a real person and had his gold 2000 at the
Glen last year and we expect to see him again next weekend. He pops up now and
again with knowledgeable comments. This is not a gold plated answer. We met
him, like him and respect his knowledge. We feel Al is doing a vital service
to the Datsun owner world. That is watching our backs for the possible crooks
and slippery dealers out there. And we all should.

There aren't any markings on the inside of the wheel and I have never seen
them without tires on them so I don't know if there are any markings on the

I posted this on the forums but some maybe not on it.

Hey Roadster nuts...

I will be traveling a bit next month and would like to meet up with some
Roadster folks if possible and not spend my evenings in the hotel and
talking to the same old boring engineers.

I will be at AMES in the San Francisco area Sept 10 through Sept 14.
Being a gov meeting, I will have nights free to meet/have dinner with
any of you guys Monday - Thursday. Let me know if you can meet up!

Sept 23rd - Sept 27th I will be in San Antonio. Looks like most nights
are free. I have already made contact with couple Roadster guys for some
BBQ, so let me know if you would like to join us.

Please let me know! No use sitting around with we can tell Roadster
stories over dinner. Have rental car - will travel....

Without markings, there's no way to know for sure - I had a set that were
marked ARE that came on my Z when I bought it that were too far gone to save
so were offed for AL scrap value.

Appliance, ARE, Western, and other off-brand all offered similar cast spoke
wheels - only slight differences in the spoke pattern and center mounting
pad differentiated them.    Same was true of ARE's Torque-Thrust - many
knock-offs appeared as soon as it was apparent that they were a good
seller.....

Best bet to find center caps that will fit is to measure the bore, and the
depth the bearing hub extends with the wheels mounted, and use that info
when buying caps.

"Al Boettcher" is real & has been a roadster owner & parts helper in Ontario 
Canada for many years!!  He has been to my place & done business.

This is the 20th Anniversary of the Datsun Roadster's at Watkins Glen 
(1987--2007) I'm attending (got ball rolling 87) as well as Al Boettcher & a 
list to long to print. We have had many owners come to the Glen over the 
years  & hope to see those faces back for this 20th year. I'm not able to 
bring my roadster but will be running about in a Everest-Jennings with beer 
& pain killers, if I can make it so can you for the first time or do a 
repeat & see old roadster friends, see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Here are the first flyer & entry forms.


Happy Motoring

Just got my registration renewal for the roadster, which is up on jackstands
for the forseeable future. I called a license office, but neither they nor
the DOL website mention anything about a non-operational registration.

Anyone know for sure if Washington State offers a non-op registration or
not? I'd like to pay less until the car is back on the road, if possible.

Thanks.

Hi Pete,

out here we just don't renew the registration. then we get new tags when we
eventually do register it to drive again. if it's registered in any form,
we're required to have insurance on it.

Pete- I think you used to be able to register a non-operational vehicle and
the license renewal fee was based on its value as a non-running vehicle,
eg., not much. Now that WA has the flat fee of only about $36.00, and
renewal fees are NOT based on actual value, it will probably be $36.00
regardless. Take care, Greg

Gary-

Yes you can re-reg a car that was once on non-op.  The Cali-nazis DMV will
want to collect any past non-op fees for the lapsed years and, of course, this
years reg.  Be thankful it was regged as non-op, I found an early Supra to
register, and it hadn't been regged for 3 years (not regged as non-op) and
ended up paying almost $300 to bring the reg up to date.

 One way to know on the Appliance wheels is that they often take an unusual lug nut and spacer. It took a while to get this info and it is referenced on the other list . The bolt holes are bigger and will not take the usual lug nuts, and to do so is risky. So I was told by the tire shop that attempted to mount the wheels originally. I got the right hardware from a guy who sells on EBAY.? If you need more info let me know.
I believe there is a set of wheels on EBAY now.

Without markings, there's no way to know for sure - I had a set that were
marked ARE that came on my Z when I bought it that were too far gone to save
so were offed for AL scrap value.

Appliance, ARE, Western, and other off-brand all offered similar cast spoke
wheels - only slight differences in the spoke pattern and center mounting
pad differentiated them.    Same was true of ARE's Torque-Thrust - many
knock-offs appeared as soon as it was apparent that they were a good
seller.....

Best bet to find center caps that will fit is to measure the bore, and the
depth the bearing hub extends with the wheels mounted, and use that info
when buying caps.

Vehicle was "op" when last registered, reg'n lapsed before "non-op" became an option (>18 years ago). Based on what I have read on the DMV website, I won't have to shell out that much.

However, there is a hitch in my plan - the DMV requires the vehicle to be certified by an authorized DMV employee, which means that you have to get it to the DMV. If it is unregistered, it is illegal to drive it to the DMV, so you have to tow it - on a truck or trailer, because the wheels of an unregistered vehicle are not allowed to touch the road! As my car is currently non-op (physically non-op, not just reg'n-wise), towing would be my only option if I wanted to get the reg'n back on the books.

Unless it has changed in the last 2 years, DMV will give you a temporary
registration to drive it to get inspected.  That's how kit cars, hot rods,
trailers and what have you get registered.  Why get it back on the books
until it is running?

I have looked this car over previously, and it is really trashed.  Massive 
rust, rotten interior, etc.  Some parts could be salvaged, or a MAJOR 
restoration performed, but I would have only offered a couple of hundred for 
it.

Perry,

I don't know what diameter the hole size you require, but a friend of mine has used galvanized fence post caps and had them machined to fit his Empi wheels.? Once you've made them to fit, they can be polished and look GREAT!

I have someone looking to buy a real nice tall windshield 2000, silver only,
for his dad for a surprise birthday present. his dad drove a silver '68 or
'69 2000 way back when and told him it was his favorite car he'd ever owned
so he's looking for an "identical" car to gift him with.  sounds like a good
kid to me :-)  let me know offlist if you can help out or know of such a
car.

Thanks-

also if anyone's looking for a good builder 2000, I just picked up a pale
yellow '69 2000 with 78k original miles on it that's been stored inside the
past 30 years.  not hurtful at all. couple splits in the seats but otherwise
excellent interior including the dash and rear shelf, minimal rust.

Subject: Exhaust backpressure vs. MAP


Hey Scott , you are inadvertently spreading old wives tails .

Reducing "exhaust back pressure" is not the whole story ,
exhaust tuning starts to come into play with a properly designed
exhaust system .
You can have 2 different systems ,
and each will have it's own personality and require a different tune ,
even when both have virtually no measurable back pressure ,
and either one will probably make more torque after re-tuning than a
system that does have back pressure .

And BTW , one of them may only marginally boost low-end torque ,
and the other may boost it so much that the engine will knock without
ignition advance changes .

Both ignition and mixture requirements will change to one degree or another .

A "low back pressure exhaust" does not necessarily reduce low-end torque ,
it might , with a completely stock factory tune ,
but after re-idealizing the VE Table and Advance Table you will
probably have a nice boost across the board .

"Exhaust back pressure" is never "necessary" and
never increases torque all by it's self ,
unless you are limited to a fixed factory tune that was specifically designed
for a particular combination with a certain amount of back pressure .

Installing a properly tuned exhaust system is , and always has been ,
the most cost effective power increase that you can get ,
and is always the recommended first step for increasing engine power
since any other method of increasing power will
put more flow through the already restrictive stock exhaust system .

Many late model cars have had a serious amount of factory R&D done on
their exhaust system ,
so the exhaust manifolds are sometimes better than
any set of headers you can buy ,
but the rest of the system usually still leaves lots of room for improvement
.

Actually,
you can just let the registration lapse.
The plates stay in the books, and if it's off the

By the way, I have two sets of these wheels in the garage.  They're in  
pretty rough condition but certainly can be restored.  If interested,  please 
contact me off list.
 
Thanks,

There are also minor differences in the shape of the lip of the rim. That's
what I usually look at first when I'm trying to tell if it is an Appliance
or not.

Those ARE's looked like they were actually a steel rim and an aluminum
center. I've seen a few of those, too. In fact, that's what my car had on it
originally when I bought it. However I was told at the time that those had a
tendency to crack around the rivets, so I got rid of them.

Subject: [Roadsters] Reproduction REGULATOR and ALTERNATOR decals for the
	SP310.
Message-ID: <000001c7eaf2$00fb6890$426fa8c0@desktop>

I picked up a little parcel of goodies from the printer today. 
Reproduction decals for the 1965 SP310 REGULATOR and ALTERNATOR WARNING. 
This was the last model to use a POSITIVE EARTH electrical system 
There is a minimum charge for this type of specialty job so I asked for as
many decals as that charge would cover. 
I have 40 REGULATOR decals and 50 ALTERNATOR WARNING decals. 
There are two versions of the latter decal. 
One lot of 25 is on a reflective silver foil backing, matches the OEM decal
perfectly. 
The other 25 have been done on a white vinyl backing, still OK but not the
original appearance. 
I'm happy with the result and would like to offer these to anyone who wants
a set. 
I have posted some pics. of the decals on the following site: - 
HYPERLINK "http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=4291195515"
\nhttp://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=4291195515 
Start at image #385. 
If you are interested I can send you the original images so you can examine
them closely.

 Hi Ross,
You can get the wheel hardware thru some wholesale dealers for wheel components. They are the 7/16* ET/AP lugnuts and washers, centered
Also there is the regular seller on EBAY:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LUG-NUTS-APPLIANCE-STYLE-7-16-INCH-ROTO-LUG-7504_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33749QQihZ012QQitemZ220144005406QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW


 The pic has both the centered and the offset shown, you want the centered set.

 It's free enterprise though so whatever anyone wants to sell for it is their perogative. Free market forces, I think they call it, right? The exposure of EBAY has certainly affected prices though, both positively and negatively, and is very interesting to watch.

I agree with Al, and would add that 'asking prices' only mean anything when 
they get adjusted to 'sold for' prices. All he needs is 1 buyer at that price. 

See you at the Glen, AL

Guy is definitely playing games..... The last time he had it listed he told Tim Minor that it sold for $14,000.00. Then he called me the next day claiming a guy was on his way?to pick it up?with $15,000.00 in cash. Also said that a customer had?asked him to restore?the car?and then left it behind?so he basically got it for free. Seemed like a nice enough guy but I guess even nice guys can spew their share of B.S.?once ole man?greed kicks in? Hope he gets the $16,500.00 he's asking for it?this time?but based on the what number 00005 and 00003 went for it appears he may be off a tad? (Like around 100%)

Hi Jon,

it's funny how folks interpret ebay auctions. what he's asking is $8500 or
more, a buy it now just means that if someone wants it bad enough to pay that
amount the auction will end early and they will get it for that. as far as
$14k, someone from Port Huron- about an hour and a half away- told him they'd
be there with $14k in an hour and a half to pick up the car if he'd end the
auction early so he did and then they didn't show and haven't returned his
calls- so they were screwing with him. he got the car along with another car
from someone else's shop that the roadster had been brought to to restore and
then the owner abandoned it there. he didn't get it free, but he doesn't have
a lot of money tied up in it either. a bid of $8500 will buy the car if nobody
bids higher. supposedly he has a firm offer of $10k from someone in Phoenix,
but he's hoping to get lucky... only time will reveal the realities of it all.
I would be surprised if he got his buy it now.

Isn't the seller stuck paying the listing fee and the sales percentage to eBay
regardless if the buyer actually pays? If so people running the prices way up
and not paying screw the seller in the end...heck with a high starting price
you pay a higher listing price. I can't see many sellers messing with their
own listings unless they have money to burn (maybe he needs to make up some
money off the last listing). Wow...I can't believe how many 67.5's Craig has
had...someday I hope to get to VA!

I stand corrected, Mark Dent pointed out that $8500 would be "reserve not
met" I hadn't noticed that. my guess is his reserve is the $10k he said he'd
been offered by someone in Phoenix.

I just want to comment about ebay.  I use it to buy and sell a lot, and the
biggest frustration is when sellers cancel a transaction early and sell it
outright.  It's not fair to other potential buyers, and although most people
could care less, it's not fair to ebay.  They are a business, and they need
to make money.  

I hope this seller isn't playing games to list on ebay and then selling to
his "offer in Phoenix."   I know there's a lot of different opinions about
the sale price of these cars, and all I can say is that I can never figure
it out.  

I understand the reserve concept, but I would think on an item like a car
you would just want start it at the minimum you would accept.   I would weed
out the field of people that aren't that interested in the first place.

Just my $0.02

Tim

Hi All
 
There's a 67.5 Solex Datsun 2000 up for sale in Calgary. It's owned by  a guy 
called Jim Standen - chassis number SRL311-00335, engine number  U20-00224.

Jim says that the engine has been 'completely rebuilt' but the  carbs are 
'clogged'. 

The car needs major bodywork and a full restoration  - there is some accident 
damage on the rear passenger corner. are images on  the Datsun Fairlady 
Roadster Group at _www.facebook.com_ (http://www.facebook.com)  

Jim says he has  owned the car for many years and won the Alberta Autoslalom 
in it a very long  time ago. He would like it to go to a good home 
 
Jim's email address is _jstanden at ucalgary.ca_ (mailto:jstanden at ucalgary.ca) . 
 
Best from England.

Well my two cents is if he had a offer of 10k before he relisted he should of 
taken it and run.And if you start a sale on ebay you should let it go the to 
the finish.Oh by the way I have a 66 2000 for sale.Totly restored.bored 40 
over,tilton 8lb flywheel.438 lsd rear end.low windshield new,new dash,new 
interior,new tires,b cam,solexes,new exshast,new rubber all around.Fastest one 
around.head bored and polished,motor just redone.new wheel bearings.new seats,new 
grill all chrome redone.big sway bar,everything is almost all new.Now it needs a 
new owner.Any takers.   </HTML>

Message-ID: <001201c7ec51$faa4d100$6401a8c0@perrye9j1m1d2an>

if there was a reserve that was not met, i don't have a problem with the
seller ending an auction early.

but if the was no reserve, or the reserve had been met; you can report the
seller to ebay for trying to
avoid his listing fees.  i have done that in the past.

it is in the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in Southern Illinois.

Sponsored by Heartland something or other, not even on the fairgrounds web
site.

i didn't realize this till last night.  and didn't bother to post then because
as far as i know, i am the only person in a few hundred miles.

worked from 4:30 till 11:00 tonight to finish my car.  "finish" is not really
the right word, "presentable" is better.

presentable means the windshield is on but i will still have to disconnect the
battery in order to start it to make it home (wiring issues).

it also means the stereo box is installed, just not powered up.  it means the
seats are only screwed in on only one side because after adding a floor pan,
heat shield insulation and new custom carpet; some of the studs don't stick
out the bottom anymore.

here are some pics from a week ago.

i will post pics of the competition later, and my car as it was shown, (looks
complete, it isn't)

but as you can see, i fully expect to win a top three in the Import division.
(i'm not even sure if there will be three import entries)
