Perry,

I believe there are a handful of roadster folks within a few hundred miles
of you. Bob Ballinger in Muncie, Indiana for one (though I don't think he
has his roadster running).

Message-ID: <000601c7ec8c$723d1210$426fa8c0@desktop>

Hi folks,
I have a bent item that causes a non-alignment issue with the lower ball
joint when it is all mounted up.
It seems to be bent at one of the threaded sections in relation to the rest
of the spindle.
Probably due to the extreme heat used to free up those flaming bushing
nuts!!
Grrrr.
Does anyone have a serviceable replacement available?
Oh, and isn't this front suspension technology awful!!!
I'm sure[?] it works BUT.....

Hi Everyone,
  I ended up removing some of the plastic "guides" inside the cover to make it work.  It seems the wiring harness for the blinkers and the 1970 ignition switch larger size caused me to cut out the plastic "guides".   It may not be the best fit but it seems to work.  I'll have to test it on the road.  Advice is welcome!
   
  Thanks,

 Hi folks,
I  stand corrected.
I mixed and matched the suspension components and now know where the problem
is.
What I thought was a bent spindle is actually a bent link, the leading one
that the sway-bar attaches to.
I'm guessing that when the Shop was heating all this to separate the
bushing/spindle/link that the link was inadvertantly bent at the bushing
end.
Well, I suppose that will be easier to fix than a bent spindle!
Should I try to straighten this or replace it??

Message-ID: <880547.26020.qm@web32805.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi Everyone,
  I am disappointed in the performance of my Volvo brakes.  I am using the stock master cylinder and now I am thinking the Volvo brakes are not getting enough fluid to work properly. I am considering purchasing and installing a 7/8" master cylinder setup. 
   
  I noticed Dean has a custom setup http://www.datsunparts.com/1241  Tandem Brake Cylinder 7/8".  Has anyone installed this setup ?  
   
  My concern is the plunger rod that connects to the brake pedal.  I believe I have to customize my old one to make this work.
   
  Please share advice.

Paul,
You most definitely need the higher volume of a 7/8" bore master to operate
4-piston Volvo brakes.  There's a couple of cylinders on Ebay right now
http://tinyurl.com/ypzawo  http://tinyurl.com/2hw6ps

For the push-rod, you can either swap out the retaining ring/disk/rod from
your existing cylinder and use shims for adjusting pedal height, or scrounge
up an adjustable rod/clevis from a Z-car brake or clutch cylinder.

Be aware that the roadster cylinder uses SAE threads at the flare fittings,
while the Z uses metric inverted flare fittings (not bubble).  This means
you have to cut off the exisiting flared-ends, replace the end fittings with
metric, then redo the double flares.

I have a bare U20 block that needs to find a new home. It is serial number

pistons and they are std. and the cylinder walls are in good condition with 
no scratches. I would think that they may just need to be honed to clean up. 
It does have the jack shaft and oil filter adapter.

Ok guy's and gals, here goes
.
I have 2 cars and I am going to sell one, but, which one?  Hmm...  I have
thought about this long and hard because I love both cars.  So this is how I
will decide.  I will place both of them as "for sale" and the one that sells
first gets sold, the other I will keep!  (sometimes you just gotta let fate
take over!)
Here is what I have: (some of you know me and have seen the cars at Solvang
this past year where they both won awards)

1. silver w/BRE ghost stripes 1969 SRL 311 w/12k mi since frame off resto and
has won numerous awards and has many misc & unique features.  Runs perfect and
needs "NOTHING!"  an absolutely beautiful car.

2. Red 67.5 SRL 311 frame off resto that is 97.5% complete and perfect. ( I
say this because the car has only been on the road for a short time and still
needs the usual few misc, pieces kinks done).  This car also has many
interesting and unique features.  Also... it is not a "bone" stock car as that
bores me.

I am located in San Diego Ca. and either car could be "legally"  driven home.
No matter what part of the country you live in.  Here is a link for some misc,
pics:
http://community.webshots.com/user/heyaceman
I only want to speak with "serious" buyers only on the specifics and I don't
intend to "give it away" so if you have been looking for a show quality
roadster now is your chance. I have not yet decided do to ebay, the trader or
local listing as I am not in a hurry to sell.  I just want the car to go to
the right person. So..  Shoot me an email off-line (heyace @ cox.net) if
interested.

Thanks and sorry for the bandwidth!

Message-ID: <17984194.1188930539671.JavaMail.root@elwamui-hybrid.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

I've been having problems getting motivated. Every spare moment is taken up
with work or birthday parties. I have been to 10 birthday parties this summer
for all the 4 year olds in my daughter's class. I finally stood up to the wife
and refused to go to one. I hope there are not any more coming up. Anyway,
I've had a little progress lately and I decided to celebrate by installing the
wheels and body work and take a few photos. I have completed the rear axle it
is painted and new seals installed. It is now bolted up to the three link but
will probably have to come out for unforseen reasons. There is now a
driveshaft safety loop. I couldn't get the scattershield to fit. I'm going to
run it without for a while. I may have to install something inside the
bellhousing. I have installed the exhaust system which is 2" all the way back
to the 3" resonator and turbo muffler. I think 2" will be large enough. I have
one section of pipe to weld in where it goes over the axle. The pipes run
through holes in the frame. I want to make this last section so that it will
come apart. The front half will pull out in one piece. The rear half will pull
out in one piece. The problem is that I can't get a slip connector to work.
The tubing runs through a hole in the frame and I can't move the pipe enough
to get it to slip on or off. I considered a flange but that wouldn't slip
through the hole in the frame. I'm at an impass. I may try a flexible repair
section from Autozone. I may be able to bend it enough to slip over the pipe.
The steam roller tires look pretty cool. From the rear it looks like a
funny-car. The body work in the photos isn't secured well so the car looks
bent like a banana. I am going to build new brake and fuel lines. A frame will
be welded behind the passenger rear tire to hold the fuel cell, surge tank,
fuel pump, methanol reservoir, and battery box. There will be room back there
for the radiator to go between the wheels. I also need to build a new roll bar
and cover over the package area with sheet aluminum. There are still a bunch
of details to take care of. The front wheels are spaced out too far. I can't
bring them in any because they will hit the fat calipers. I am considering
replacing the front calipers with some floating calipers that are much lighter
and have less overhang on the wheel center side. This will allow me to remove
the 3/8" spacers and hopefully eliminate any clearance issues with the
fenders. I have some BMW E30 rear brake calipers that I am going to try and
install on the front. We'll see how it works out. This project has gone from a
little bit of cutting and welding to a complete redesign of every system. At
least it still looks like a roadster.

Enjoy the photos,

Dunno if they'll do a roadster tranny, but these guys have a good rep and
rebuilt the auto tranny in the Pig Car (aka '94 Chrysler Concorde).

North Seattle Transmission

Shoreline, WA 98155

I've heard rebuilding a 4-speed isn't that difficult, however, I defer to
those who have and know for sure.

Not enough good things can be said about John Walker's Workshop:

<http://www.johnwalkersworkshop.com>

His business is Porsches, but he's into other cars. Even if he can't/won't
do it, he may know someone who can.

Okay, no problem with my '69 2000 at present, but it's only a matter of time with these things.  Does anyone know of a shop in the Philadelphia / upper Delaware area that knows beans about working on Datsun roadsters?  I'd rather have to drive a bit and get a better shop than deal with someone just making guesses.  Doesn't have to be Datsun specific (Alfa dealer in TN did my Fiat, convinced me to sell it as.. never mind the non-flattering term he used).

Hi everybody,

Great suggestions from everyone on finding a transmission shop in the Seattle
area.  I finally got hold of Ross Mullen with SportsImports and he just
happened to have a rebuilt transmission on the shelf looking for a home. With
any luck it will get to me by Friday and hopefully everything back together by
next week just in time for the liquid sunshine season in the Northwest.  I
think after everything I have had to replace or get rebuilt, the only thing
remaining to do is the fuel pump, might as well replace that just for the fun
of it.


Thanks everyone

Subject: [Roadsters] I'm quitting the EI distributors for good
Message-ID: <909481.59678.qm@web36306.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi Roadster fans,
I'm now officially quitting making the EI
distributors.  My wait list is 
finally down to zero after making 277 of them.

I need to quit for a few reasons, but the main ones
are that I need to 
spend more time with my family.  My daughter is 14
years old and she 
will be gone before I know it.  Also, my job is very
demanding, as I'm 
the maintenance manager of a rather large chemical
plant.  And my 2000 
roadster is still up on jack stands for 3 years now,
waiting on me to 
complete the EFI project.  

I will honor any warranty work and will retain enough
parts to repair 
any distributors, even ones that are beyond warranty. 

Wow, this has been a great thing, because it has
connected me with so 
many great roadster folks, and I very much appreciate
that.  I don't 
exactly live in the roadster capital of the world here
in Cheyenne, 
Wyoming.  If you ever happen to be here, please look
me up.  I'm in the 
phone book.

My last EI distributor is on ebay right now, which is
a very nice one, 
using some of my last new parts.  The auction ends
this Sunday at approx 
9:20 AM.  The ebay item # is 280149227024

Thanks to all the previous buyers and to everyone
else.
Gary Boone

Gary,

Every time it fires promptly and runs smoothly across the rev range, I 
feel lucky to have one of 277.

Thanks for your very durable and significant performance improvement.

P.S.  We just sent our oldest off to school last week; they do grow up fast.

Hey Gary -
 
Sorry to loose such a great contribution to the roadster world.   Having one 
of the "special" units installed and set up by the Boonester himself,  my '69 
2000 is one fast, reliable, smooth running summagun.  
 
But that being said, we at WyCROC are tired of waiting for you to get your  
car back on the road, so now there is NO EXCUSE.  We expect to see you next  
year --- right??
 
Have fun with your daughter, my two oldest are grown and off on their  own.  
My boys are turning into young men with the 16 year old trying to  determine 
what color to paint the '70 1600 I am going to let him drive.   The next 
generation of roadster fanatic is being trained well.  He  actually is clutching and 
shifting rather well (for those of you around the  world, here in Colorado 16 
year olds are only driving on a "learners permit" and  can't drive 
independently until they are 17).

 My question is  - Gary, who are you passing the torch to?  I am sure
someone (Keith?) can pick up this work - someone - please!  It is one of
those things on my list, but need other items first.

When I grew up in Idaho it was 14 - 15 daylight only - 16 unlimited.

Now in Alabama it is 15 for permit (parent only with new driver) - 16
unlimited.

So, flashback to the Porsche Cayenne TV spot (the one where the kids

Maybe Nissan should do a sequel, with helmeted 4 year old kids taking

Now THAT's marketing!

Hi Gary,
  Thanks so much for your time, patience, quality parts and hard work.  I understand how time passes so quickly. The EI distributor you built for my Rebello's engine works excellent and I appreciate the time you took to talk to Rebello's to customize it for my application.

  Please let me know if I can ever do something for you.

Hi Garry,
Let me add my thanks for my EI dist. I bought, and installed myself, with your excellent instructions and just a couple of questions.
I hope that you "unretire" at some point and make these available again. Perahps after your car is done. Speaking of which, 


too bad you can't put out a call for some Roadster buddies to come by a do a blitz overhaul of your car conversion so that you can get it on the road. Even if they are just handing you wrenches it would speed up the process.
And I am sure you have been email about this, is there someone who can take over? Can you train or hire someone on an as needed basis, and supervise? Are you getting the drift that we don't want you to go?

  Hi Roadster fans,
I'm now officially quitting making the EI
distributors. My wait list is 
finally down to zero after making 277 of them.

I need to quit for a few reasons, but the main ones
are that I need to 
spend more time with my family. My daughter is 14
years old and she 
will be gone before I know it. Also, my job is very
demanding, as I'm 
the maintenance manager of a rather large chemical
plant. And my 2000 
roadster is still up on jack stands for 3 years now,
waiting on me to 
complete the EFI project. 

I will honor any warranty work and will retain enough
parts to repair 
any distributors, even ones that are beyond warranty. 

Wow, this has been a great thing, because it has
connected me with so 
many great roadster folks, and I very much appreciate
that. I don't 
exactly live in the roadster capital of the world here
in Cheyenne, 
Wyoming. If you ever happen to be here, please look
me up. I'm in the 
phone book.

My last EI distributor is on ebay right now, which is
a very nice one, 
using some of my last new parts. The auction ends
this Sunday at approx 
9:20 AM. The ebay item # is 280149227024

Thanks to all the previous buyers and to everyone
else.

This is just my opinion and I am sure I will piss someone off. But, again, this is my half cent worth of venting opinion. 

I just caught part of the footage from the time capsule unearthing in Oklahoma. The one with the 1959 Belvedere buried as well as a capsule. The shots of Coddington's crew making wise cracks about the whole situation reminded my again what jerks they all are. 

I am sure that at least part of what one sees is their "playing to the camera". But this whole salt flat mess just re-inforces what asses Coddington and his people are.

It's finally running, has some testing time, and I figure I might as
well see how it goes.  I'll be running my 67.5 1600 at the Elkhart
Lake Vintage Festival, Sept 14-16 at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI.

I'm still working feverishly late into the nights trying to get as
much checked off my list as I can.  Not everything will be done, but
I should be able to get on the track and survive the weekend if all
goes well.

Pictures of the car can be found at www.NoNameRacing.com.  The car
will look pretty much like that unless the #33 graphics come through,
then it will look more like a '67 Bob Sharp car (with a windshield).

I'll be in "Group 8".  There is more information about the weekend
activities, and a race schedule available at www.vscda.org

I plan on doing the touring, so if any fellow Roadster nuts would
like some laps around the track, look me up.

Email me with any questions or if you think you're coming and I can
send you my schedule and try to keep a look out for you,

To all on the Roadster list,

The Lane Motor Museum outside of Nashville is hosting the following:

(from their website)
September - Historic Nissan North America Exhibit
The Historic Nissan North America Exhibit has been extended through 
October 8, 2007. Vehicles will document Nissan's rebirth after World 
War II and the company's entry into the American market. Regular 
admission rates apply.

Here's the link:

http://www.lanemotormuseum.org/cgi-bin/search.pl/news?

After that ends they are hosting more Nissans:

(from their website)
October - Z Cars Exhibit featuring vehicles from the Nissan North 
America Heritage Collection
Beginning October 11, 2007 through July, 2008. View select Z Cars from 
the Nissan North America Heritage Collection on display for a limited 
time. Explore Nissan's revolutionary rise in the sports car market from 
the 1969 240Z to the 25th Anniversary 300ZX. Included is the 1974 260Z 
owned by Mr. Yutaka Katayama, President of Nissan Motors North America 
and known as "The Father of the Z Car".

Might be worth the trip to Nashville for anyone within a days drive. 
I'd go if I could but it's a bit far from here and I've just taken on a

I'm by no means "pissed-off" at your comments.  But my $.02 would sound 
something like curiosity at people who can call others names, while 
enjoying a good laugh at the expense of others going through what surely 
must have been a very frustrating ordeal.  Yes, it may have been of 
their own doing.  How many of us have found ourselves in a mess of our 
own making?  I certainly have.... and seem to, over and over again.

I've had concrete trucks and wreckers just as stuck as those were.  You 
have to laugh, and take it lightly, and make jokes, to try to avoid the 
weight of what you know is gonna cost you a fortune, and be very 
unpleasant.  But others jeering at you is not the same thing.

I don't know if he "cleaned-up his mess" as someone put it....  but have 
you ever spent any time out there?  One good rain and the mess will be gone.

No, I'm no Coddington fan, (although back in the early 80's, he built 
some industry-changing hot-rods that will always stand out in my mind) 
but I would like to cut others some slack as often as I can, and hope 
the favor is returned some day.

again: y'all are entitled to feel any way you want to about it, 
certainly you don't need my permission for that.  I just thought I'd 
throw in my $.02

take it for what it's worth....   :-)

Hi Linda,
Thanks for your positive comments to the list.  I only
have one roadster 
buddy in town but actually my roadster doesn't need
any wrenching to get 
it going.  It needs my self to program the ECU for the
fuel injection, 
which is very time consuming and involved for me since
I've never done 
it before.

Also I appreciate your major efforts with the ball
joint project.  I'm 
sure I have no idea just how time consuming that must
have been for you 
and to tolerate all the abuse from some folks.  The
ones you sent me 
look great but I actually bought them for installation
after mine wear 
out.  I installed new Nissan joints when I restored my
roadster several 
years ago and they don't have many miles on them.  I
appreciate what you 
did.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi folks,

It is a pressed disc that is spring loaded down on the top of the filter.
Has anyone got "it" or a complete old style filter cannister assembly that

Hello guys and gals,
I've got my stroker/5 speed project dialed in now with 600 miles logged in.
I'm looking for a used 67.5 shift plate for the 5-speed, to trim it out. This
is the plate with the hole for the shifter, not the shift emblem.

It doesn't have to be pretty, just not too bent up, I'm going to paint it
anyway. Anyone have one for sale?

i'm guessing here; i have an early 67 1600 which i received in "kit form."

there is what looks like a correct switch; it matches the dash.  there is 
also a switch, which i believe he had working at one time, that is obviously 
from a later model.  thats the one i have a key for.  i'm guessing the 
correct one is not working.  i don't have a key for it.

my question, and from looking at the later diagrams, i think i have it 
correct:

acc should be wired to the accessories, i.e., the radio.
ignition should go to the fuse block to turn everything on.
battery goes to the positive side of the battery
st goes to the starter

the switch is numberd 48f225; has a center post labeled st which sticks way 
out.  more recessed are the three other posts, battery, ignition, and acc.

thanks!

Without it the filter is bypassed and ineffective as well. 
There must be a few of these lying around from conversions to spin on

The white ones are for the lens to light body. Oliver is asking for the
light body to car body. Go here and scroll down to Part #'s 1421-1424:

Part #1288 is a kit that contains all the tail light gaskets.

The white ones are for the lens to light body. Oliver is asking for the
light body to car body. Go here and scroll down to Part #'s 1421-1424:

http://www.datsunparts.com/Weatherstripping

Part #1288 is a kit that contains all the tail light gaskets.

HTH.

I need to build a tire rack to mount high on the wall to get some race tires
wheels out of the way in the garage.
Can anyone point me to a design that's relatively simple and straight forward
to build?

Ideally this will be hung just below ceiling height, where it will be out of
the way.

Have 3 sets of tires wheels/tires for my brother's 510 and a spare set of
wheels for my roadster to hang up.

Thanks

His father has owned the car since 1973 and is the second owner. The original

Subject: [Roadsters] Delco 10SI Alternator question
Message-ID: <E1IVUE5-00062q-2q@elasmtp-mealy.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

Hi All,

Long time no see! 

I have been running a 10SI alternator on Loreli for several months now.
Here's the issue. At idle (approx 700 RPM), the alt doesn't put out enough
power to fully power the headlights. My solution was to put a smaller pulley
on the alt. This seems to have worked OK. (FYI, this is no easy task. That
nut is on there REALLY TIGHT!!!)

 

My question involves the wiring for the alt. I have a 10 ga wire going to
the battery from the alt stud. I have a 10 ga wire going from the alt stud
to the #1 terminal on the alt (yes, yes, everything I've seen says it goes
to the #2 terminal). I have an idiot light going from the + side of the coil
to the #2 terminal. I also have a 10 ga wire going to the original red BATT
wire for the stock alt (thru a 30 amp maxi fuse as suggested on 311s.org)
just to cover all my bases.

 

Why does my alternator work wired like this and not when wired correctly?
i.e. alt stud to #2 and idiot light to #1? When looking at the alt from the
rear, the case is marked as #1 on the left (it's also marked with an R) and
#2 on the right (also marked with an F). All schematics I've found state
that #1 is Field which should have the idiot light and #2 is Sense which
should have power from the alt stud. 

 

Ideas?

She's a 70' Silver Solex

 

P.S. My treatments continue. They're being effective, but it's really
getting old.

It should take 12 volts at the F terminal to excite the alternator.  If you don't hook up any excite wires then the alternator may self excite when it reaches 3500 rpms or something like that.  It is very possible that is why you weren't charging at idle.  Try putting 12 volts to the F terminal.  The other terminal is a ground for the battery idiot light if I remember correctly.

I could be completely wrong.

Matthew:


First of all if you want some info on how 3 wire alternators work or should
be installed there is a lot of info at the following website
http://www.madelectrical.com/index.shtml    The system on my roadster
provides power to a central block (not to the battery) the battery charge
comes from the central block, the sensing wire from the alternator #2 goes
to the central block as well to sense power requirements there, the wire
from #1 on the alternator goes to gauge and light on the dash. A power wire
goes from the block to the main fuse box. My headlights are served by two
relays, powered from the main fuse box. All my systems are protected by
fusable links at the main power block. In my Datsun's case I did not use Mad
Electrical's products but I have seen them used on another car and they seem
to be of good quality.

I have a very reliable system as long as grounds are cleaned and making a
good connection.

Hope this helps.

Fred

Why does my alternator work wired like this and not when wired correctly?
i.e. alt stud to #2 and idiot light to #1? When looking at the alt from the
rear, the case is marked as #1 on the left (it's also marked with an R) and
#2 on the right (also marked with an F). All schematics I've found state
that #1 is Field which should have the idiot light and #2 is Sense which
should have power from the alt stud. 

 

Ideas?

P.S. My treatments continue. They're being effective, but it's really
getting old.

Matthew:


First of all if you want some info on how 3 wire alternators work or should
be installed there is a lot of info at the following website
http://www.madelectrical.com/index.shtml    The system on my roadster
provides power to a central block (not to the battery) the battery charge
comes from the central block, the sensing wire from the alternator #2 goes
to the central block as well to sense power requirements there, the wire
from #1 on the alternator goes to gauge and light on the dash. A power wire
goes from the block to the main fuse box. My headlights are served by two
relays, powered from the main fuse box. All my systems are protected by
fusable links at the main power block. In my Datsun's case I did not use Mad
Electrical's products but I have seen them used on another car and they seem
to be of good quality.

I have a very reliable system as long as grounds are cleaned and making a
good connection.

Hope this helps.

 Some really good information there.

Matt,

I have a GM alternator in Mr. Hyde.  If I remember correctly the idiot light
is the excitation lead.  I played with several bulbs in this circuit and
found that some caused the alternator to require a lot of revs before it
would come to life.  I finally ended up with a #53 bulb, which requires a
few RPM to start charging the battery, but it is a good compromise for me.

Is this why there is often a resistor or resistor wire in parallel with
the bulb? Anyone know how much resistance is typically used there?

Subject: [Roadsters] Help! mechanical genius needed
Message-ID: <225942.15352.qm@web81008.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

 I recently embarked on a SU carb to MC carb conversion and
now what I thought would be the least of my problem is turning into a
nightmare. These carbs (Mikuni Flat slide) pull so much vaccum that I
can't overcome the pedal resistance. These carbs work somewhat like the
SU's but with one major difference in that the center pull bellcrank
actually lifts all 4 slides, in essence I am controlling the airflow. A few
fellas around have noted to me that maybe my stock linkage is ratio
challenged. I have noted that the vertical bar where the cable links to is
approx the same length as the pedal to pivot point distance around 8
inches which puts it at around 1-1 ratio. Does the lever and fulcrum
theory come into play here? One guy says that by reducing the vertical bar
to a shorter length of say 4inch  vs 8inch that I would increase my
ratio to 2-1 effort advantage. Does this make sense? Would this really
make it somewhat effortless than before? Another from the 311s site w
as

  nice enough to suggest a floor pedal (direct lever) as in pic.
I'm wondering now whether I should experiment with my existing pedal or
just go to this floor mount. Does anyone know whether this floor mount
is more advantageous than playing around with the stock pedal? What do
you experts think? I miss driving it, down for 2 months now. Help.
                     Thanks, Tom

Message-ID: <46E9D91E.4050001@drizzle.com>

Hi folks,

I have a 1970 1600.  At the risk of embarrassing myself:

Every time I drain the cooling system I have the most incredibly 
difficult time filling it back up.  Because the thermostat's closed, 
it's virtually impossible to get the block filled with water.  The very 
suboptimal solution I've come up with is to run the engine half dry 
until the thermostat opens despite not being submerged (the temp gauge 
usually reads over 260 before this happens) and then sloooowwwwwly 
adding more fluid into the running engine so as not to crack anything. 
There's GOT to be a better way.  Can someone help me out?

- Roel

P.S. I also don't really understand how that reservoir tank on the side 
works, either.  Maybe this is part of my problem.  I try to keep it 
roughly half full like the original manual says.

  Hi Roel,
What you need is a thermostat with a jiggle valve.
This is a little weighted dooby that normally closes off a tiny hole in the
thermostat plate.
When you fill up the cooling system, the valve is pushed open by the
escaping air.
When the coolant reaches the thermostat, the valve is closed off.
A tiny hole in the thermo plate will achieve the same thing.
Just big enough to bleed the trapped air but not pass a huge amount of water
[as it were!]

The cap on the radiator is not a pressure cap, just a sealing cap.
The pressure cap should be on the overflow tank which gets the burped air
from the system.

I have a pic. Of the thermo. With jiggler if you want one.

Every time I drain the cooling system I have the most incredibly difficult
time filling it back up.  Because the thermostat's closed, it's virtually
impossible to get the block filled with water.  The very suboptimal solution
I've come up with is to run the engine half dry until the thermostat opens
despite not being submerged (the temp gauge usually reads over 260 before
this happens) and then sloooowwwwwly adding more fluid into the running
engine so as not to crack anything. 
There's GOT to be a better way.  Can someone help me out?

Roel,

There  are a three ways to make things easier.

One is to drill a small hole in the thermostat flange to allow air to 
escape from below the thermostat. A 1/8" will do the trick.

Another is to open the thermostat by pushing a screw driver or rod onto 
the top of the thermostat, opening it up to let the air out.

Finally, if the thermostat is out of the engine, open the thermostat and 
insert an aspirin tablet to hold it open. When the water level gets the 
aspirin wet it will dissolve. The trick is to keep the water from 
getting to the aspirin from the top.

Good luck.

Peace,
Pat

Heck, the aspirin may also keep the engine from getting a high temp.  After
all, it is the wonder-drug.   :O)

Subject: [Roadsters] sorta OT- triple weber setup for Z car,
	more roadster parts
Message-ID: <005801c7f6c8$76a33cd0$a064a343@craigzct1uylo4>

I picked up a 260Z 2+2 the other day, will be selling it on ebay as a parts
car... actually a better body than the other 2 Z's I have. came with a
triple weber setup, don't see Canon on the manifold(s)  appears it was
mounted on the engine new and likely never run. has dust and some of the
bolts have rust on them, the small velocity stacks are rusty on the outside
of the carbs. seemed unusual to me that the center carburetor sits slightly
lower than the other 2. anyhow, this setup is for sale reasonable. engine in
the car appears to have been gone thru, tape over all the orifices although
it's come off a couple of the plug holes.. camshaft is new, whole top end
clean as a whistle, appears to have had freezeplugs put in and other
evidences of work on it. car had a new dash- not a dashpad- installed.
sheetmetal all very good with slight rocker rust. needs some floor work.
figured I'd offer the weber setup to the list members first- $500 will buy
them- if no interest, will list the car and the carbs separately on ebay.
no title, parts only. contact me offlist if interested.

Craig

picking up a bunch more roadster parts next week, the inventory list is
divided into New and used parts and is in the mail. was told he had them
stored "on 3 levels"  took a couple weeks for him to get me together the
list. also picking up a truckload of parts tomorrow, includes early armrest
consoles and a bunch of other stuff. anyone need axle shafts? doors?
anything else used? have barns full...

Hello all,

Anyone read the Sept issue of Hemming's Sports and Exotics about our Roadsters? I tried to pickup an issue but didn't get one. I can partially see the issue online but I'm not a subscriber. Is it worth buying the back issue?

We need to go out and find 100 people to buy beat up roadsters and restore
them. I know, I know, we have a bunch of roadsters being restored, but those
owners have already gone through all the newbie questions that seem to perk up
the LIST.

I must have gotten to the LIST back in 97 when there was a purchase spurt of
roadsters. I have watched the low periods since then. The biggest low spot was
always the Shasta weekend. That was always the best time to buy roadster stuff
on Ebay too.

Since I am at home I guess I could go pay attention to that roadster project
in the garage. It's 9 am here in Phoenix and my garage is already over a 100
degrees. Before I go sweat in the garage sauna there is a news flash.

The first roadster (1970 SPL) I bought that got me into this which turned out
to be too far gone has now gone to semi-roadster heaven. It was dragged off
the property two nights ago by an individual that wants to restore it.
The car had already sat for 25 years when I got it plus the nine I had it.
When I got it all the exposed wires where chewed up by critters. The car was
the critters outhouse. The only part of the interior that was any good was the
uncraked dash. It had been in an accident at a few points as both doors had
filler throughout. The rear end had been hit twice. The engine had siezed and
later after I got the head off I found the pistons rusted to the block. It had
been a southern California car and appeared to have been in a flood. The list
goes on so I decided to use it for parts. I cut out the steering column to
upgrade the 66, removed the front end suspension, and pulled all useable
electrics plus other odds & ends.

Despite my telling him about the car and what I did to it he seemed to want to
restore it. Therefore, I let him have it and told him to call if he has any
questions. I also told him he could get a running roadster for a fraction of
what it would take to put that car back together. I am sure after he gets into
the car it will be stripped further and then make the finally journey to see
Saint Katayama!

Off to the sweat room....

Hi all,
  The Glen was terrific, 40th anniversary of the 2000 and 20th year of Datsuns
at the Glen, thanks Mark. We live close to the Glen and get there several
times a summer, and been to the Vintage Race many times. Last year was our
first Datsun gathering , we had just bought our roadster a few months before(
Craig Halsted found us a nice '68 2000); this year we drove our roadster,
Spike, to the Glen. As the newbies, we have been waiting for the "old timers"
to talk it up. No one was at a loss for words at the Glen.
  Gloria and John Klingman

I posted this on the 311s site . 


The  Watkins Glen weekend was great. First time back to the Glen since the 
1971 US Grand Prix. 

Friday started with the closing of the entire main street of Watkins Glen. 
Part of the main street held a vintage car show , two roadsters were on 
display. The highlight of the afternoon is the re-enactment of the early 
1948- 1953  sports car races that were held on a 6 mile road  track that 
included the main street of Watkins Glen.  One roadster participated . 
Friday night the DRONE Club  held a barbecue ( quality,  high octane 
double IPA was supplied by the Captain Lawrence Brewing Company ).

Saturday started with a show and shine in the Wakins Glen State Park. More 
than 20 roadsters, two Z cars and a Datsun  truck participated. 

Link to some pictures; I had some camera problems , so,  limited shots.

http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AZtmjlu1ZuWEx&emid=sharshar&linkid=link2

Saturday afternoon the roadsters split up, some went wine tasting  and 
others went to the track to see the SVAR races.  I believe  Andy Vitek 
from Philadelphia in roadster  # 123 placed  3rd in  Sundays final of 
Group 3cp.


Saturday  night most of the roadsters gathered in Watkins Glen State Park 
for an informal get together  and raffle of various roadster parts , gift 
certificates, other goodies and beer. At the end of the night all said 
goodbyes until next year.

Looking forward to next year.

Message-ID: <8C9C52D0FB04217-AC0-25C6@webmail-me13.sysops.aol.com>

Hello,
I posted this to the other list as well, I am trying to remove the fuel pump but it? bumps up against the frame rail and can not be wedged out. I need to change it so that I can drive to the Datsun BBQ tommorrow. It is leaking out the bottom and I have cleaned it and tightened the screws but it can not be saved.
Any removal tips appreciated. It has the thick flange and spacer block. Might I have to remove the studs to get it out?

thanks
Linda

Message-ID: <BAY109-F326BF0D4D41D4F12BFA34FBFBD0@phx.gbl>

Additional hints from me:
you can cut off the jiggler valve with some diaganal cutting plyers and have 
a hole there just the right size, and not subject to closing in any way.  I 
routinly either cut off the jiggler valve, or if no valve, drill a 1/8th 
hole.

If refilling a system that is completely drained, and the thermostat is too 
hard to take apart, like the tower studs are siezed, then loosen up the 
higher up of the two  heater hoses, and build a hose and funnel setup that 
allows filling the car from the heater hose.  You can fill the radiator, and 
then the rest from the heater hose.  This is of course not a perfect 
solution, but will work just fine.

Jim

Linda, I cheated, and had a new diaphragm from Stan, and "rebuilt" the fuel
pump without removing it.  Can't have to remove studs (Nissan engr's too smart
for that).  there must be some sequence of removing bits and twisting the

Tom,
perplexed you are, but not too far off.

It is time to get a bit more geometric on this challenge.
We need to get a 15-25# fish scale, and see how much force the stock vertical
linkage arm is pulling on the carb cable linkage (Keith Williams, got any
ballpark quantitative number on this?)

Without this, we get a pc of PVC pipe and some cheap poly rope and some small
weights (arm curl dumbbells or ankle weights) and make set-up where the PVC
pipe is our new 'belllcrank', as close as possible to the same height and
perpendicular to the cable outage, the poly rope is the cable extension, and
we weight the end of the rope until the pedal feels "neutral". Then we know
std pedal force needed to overcome cable friction.

Now do the same for your new set-up, in the opposite direction, finding the
force needed to actuate the throttle set-up you have. (when running, which
seem to be the challenge)
Then work the geometry, (free-body diagram) measure the radii of the
bell-crank(s), (partial pulley curves) , lever arms in the system, and work
out what we need.  Then go looking in junkyards (and possibly motorcycle
junkyards for the cable linkage that made that carb set-up work at only wrist
torque) for parts, and maybe Summit and other folks.

Anyone, am I way off base?  Beuller?

Just remember the simple fact that if you change the geometry to reduce your
foot effort by half, you will also double the range of motion your foot will
go through.

Have you considered changing the throttle return springs? I'm unfamiliar
with slide throttle setups. I assume they still have something of the sort.

Subject: [Roadsters] Pinion Seal Question & OT
Message-ID: <MBEHKLBNELGFFJEJICKGMEBKDDAA.tom@datsun2000.com>

Just before Shasta I replaced the pinion seal in Mr. Hyde because I was
loosing gear lube through that seal.  I also had a top put on the car after
the seal was replaced and they noticed that there was a leak from the
rear-end when the moved the car.  It is still leaking very slowly and I am
wondering what I did wrong, or is there something else that could be causing
the gear lube to be forced around the seal?

On another note I am working on the brakes of a 92 Ford F250 Heavy Duty
diesel.  The pedal goes down and applies the brakes, but it will not come
back up by itself.  Adding a bungee cord to the brake pedal as a return
spring actually improves the braking, but I am not going to drive it that
way.  At this point I have replaced the master cylinder and vacuum amplifier
with no improvement.  I plan to re-bleed the brakes today with a vacuum pump
to see if there is any air hiding somewhere.  Has anybody seen anything else
that might be causing my problem?

And last, you computer guys might take a look at a video on youtube.  It
features Justin Rattner, Director of Technology of Intel Corp.  In the first
link he describes building his first computer (1960), and the second video
relates to his presentation in an upcoming Intel developers conference later
this month in San Francisco.  The other people you don't see in the car are

check the surface the seal rides on and make sure it is not grooved you can 
also check the diff. breather to see if it's plugged.

Message-ID: <000a01c7f7db$b8ece5a0$0300a8c0@HPWIDESCREEN>

I postd this on 311s, but I'll post it here for those that don't go there:

Since my car is currently in a position to play with this, I gave it a try 
to determine if there was a simple procedure to installing/removing the fuel 
pump. After all, they must have envisioned having to do this as part of 
regular maintenance at some point.

What I found is this: First remove the nuts holding the fuel pump to the 
block. (Question for others out there, are there supposed to be lock washers 
on this? Mine did not have any, seems the studs are way too short, and any 
longer would REALLY make removal a royal pain.)

Next, pull on the fuel pump till the stud flanges just clear the studs on 
the block, then you rotate the complete pump assembly just a bit. Either to 
where a line perpendicular to the top of the pump points to the 1:30 or the 
10:30 position (if you could view it directly from the side of the engine 
block). The axis of rotation goes directly though the center of the bottom 
half of the fuel pump, side to side of the car/block.

Then rotate the bottom half of the pump away from the block with the axis of 
rotation being perpendicular to the position you chose. That is if you 
rotated to the 1:30 position, you would rotate the bottom part of the pump's 
body with the axis going between the 10:30 and 4:30 points. (Conversely, top 
@ 10:30 axis is at 1:30/7:30.) The axis now goes through the UPPER half of 
the pump.

I'm trying to describe something that will be very easy and almost intuitive 
... once you rotate the fuel pump.

I've done this both ways, and have NOT had to lift or move the motor at all.

Re-installation is just as simple (  "Reversal of Removal"  ), except that 
you first must make sure the lever that operates the pump will insert into 
the block and be above the portion of the crank that actuates it.

maintenance/renovation.

is there a particular order?  torque setting?

Hi Oliver,
First up, torque values are 10 - 20 ft/lb.
So that would be "tight" using a ring spanner, hardly worth using a torque
wrench!
I advise using a good quality sealant around all the port holes like
Maniseal or a similar hi temp manifold sealant.
I like to see that goop get squeezed out of the joins so I know that there
is enough to do the job.

If your doing this with the engine in the car you will need to be clever in
the order of assembly since there are "impossible to get to" fasteners
underneath the inlet.
I've never done the installation, but....
I'm guessing exhaust goes in first, nip up the fasteners, add the inlet, fit
remaining fasteners.
Then using a 3 year olds wrist and fingers, tighten all the fasteners
starting from the centre and working your way to either end alternately.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!?

Tom,

If you find the sealing surface on the pinion is?worn or groooved you can probably find?a "speedy sleeve" that fits the pinion diameter to press over the worn area and repair the sealing surface.? Do an internet search on speedy sleeve and reply if you don't find what you are looking for.

Good Luck,

I bought this '70 1600 several years back with all sorts of good
intentions. Unfortunately, I just couldn't put the right kind and
quantity of effort into the project, and it's been sitting for a while
now, partly disassembled. It's mostly complete if a little rough, and
condition is probably about what's to be expected from sitting for a
while.

Some photos up at http://xio.com/datsun1600/

It's not currently in running condition, so you'll need a trailer.

Asking $1200. Fairly motivated to sell. It needs to go soon.

Email me at this address (xiojason at gmail.com) if you're interested.

Subject: [Roadsters] Timing chain tensioner and oil pressure
Message-ID: <200709161928.l8GJSwCG016883@flpi185.prodigy.net>

Hello All,  

 

I'm looking for some technical advice.  My '68 2000 was giving me an
occasional death rattle sound upon startup, but not every time, and usually
only after it was fully warmed up.  I was also noticing my oil pressure
seemed low, especially during longer drives.  My car was recently stolen,
and it appears the guy who stole it took it for the shear fun of driving
seeing what it takes to break it.  Fortunately, our cars are pretty tough.
But now upon start up when cold, it gets the death rattle bad, and it lasts
for 5 or more seconds.  Unfortunately, I didn't think to look at the oil
pressure before pulling the engine for needed transmission repairs (yep,
they broke that too).  

 

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do about the timing assembly.  There
are signs of wear on the so called "evil L", though very light.  When I
rotate the engine so the chain goes slack on the right side (looking at it
from the front), the chain very loose, and certainly hits the "L".  When I
rotate it the other direction so that upper tensioner slides out, it slides
out 5/16".  Is this excessive?  And could this have anything to do with oil
pressure?

 

Is there a trick to inspecting the timing components without having to pull
the head and timing cover?  And if I do pull the timing cover, what should I
be looking for?  Any other recommended things I can check while I have the
motor on the stand?

 

Thanks,

Joe Kinstle

Slowly but surely it's coming together.  This weekend I built a frame to hold the fuel cell, surge tank, two fuel pumps, associated lines, and fuel filter.  I mounted it behind the right rear tire.  I will probably mount the water/methanol injection tank to that frame somewhere.  I also built a mount for the battery.  I was able to find a plastic battery box for the group U81 lawnmower battery.  

Still to come.  Brake, clutch, and fuel lines, roll bar, electrical wiring, aluminum panels to cover the holes in the floorboard and package tray, dash and gauge install, rear shock rebuild, throttle cable, and a million little details.

Hi List
I am installing a set of 'currently' speakerless Mazda seats. There is a 
zippered pocket in the headrest which apparently accepts speakers, but I 
cannot see a path to take the wiring from the base to the headrest.

Any thorts

BTW - they are muy comfortable - cannot wait to have them installed and road 
test them.

According to the book "Fair Lady, Japan's First Sports Car" by Phill Brook,
the last vin# for the left hand drive 1600 is SPL311-31400.

When at a car show this weekend, I had a gentleman come up to me asking if  I 
knew anyone needing stock steel 14" roadster rims.  I don't, but I do  have 
his name and number.  He is located in Ft. Morgan Colorado.
 
He was asking $10.00 each and said he had 4 rims (maybe a fifth with white  
wall tire).
 
Contact me off list if you need his contact info.

Double IPA made by a local brewery. That alone would have been enough for me. Add some beautiful Roadsters and what looked to be great weather and you have a perfect day. 

You all on the coasts have it great. No club in this area any more and I don't have time to try to get one going again. Hopefully soon something will get going!

Great shots Vince!

Here's a thought.

Why not pick up a set of cheap, projector fog lights like these -
http://tinyurl.com/22lzg3  or
http://tinyurl.com/2x5gcr
They're probably junk as far as fog lights go, but would definitiely be an
improvement over stock backup light in both appearance and brightness.

I beg to differ - the RAREST production roadster would be the earliest 1500  
roadster, which would be the VIN# SPL310-00075, which is a single carb, one of 
 only 300 produced but probably only less than a dozen or so with singles.
 
Sorry Craig, I know you think your prototype 1500 is rarer, but I was  
talking PRODUCTION.

<Does that make the '70 2000 the rarest Roadster of all?>

That is what I was wondering. Since they made so few of them can it be true? If so, maybe I will think about restoring my 70 SRL instead of saving my pennies for a modern engine swap...

What about the SPL212 or SPL213? Less than 300, right?

Guessing it depends on the date range.

I beg to differ - the RAREST production roadster would be the earliest 1500

roadster, which would be the VIN# SPL310-00075, which is a single carb, one
of 
 only 300 produced but probably only less than a dozen or so with singles.
 
Sorry Craig, I know you think your prototype 1500 is rarer, but I was  
talking PRODUCTION.

That's not an accurate production number for 1970, is it?  I have #13571.

I wasn't asserting that the '70 2000 is the rarest Roadster, I was 
asking if it is. Earliest doesn't mean most rare - fewest made or 
surviving does. If only a dozen out of 300 single-carb 1500s survive, 
that's pretty rare. How many '70 2000s survive out of the 92 that were 
built?

Well, it gets more interesting as there's 98 1970 2000's listed on the
311s.org registry. Maybe 92 produced may not be accurate.

The book is quoting calender year not model year.  There were about 1500 
1970 model year 2000's built.  Production started in July of 69 and ended 
April 1970 so logically most of them were built in the calendar year of 
1969. Just like I can buy a 2008 model year car now.  I have 2 1970's that 
are not on 311s site, both built in 1970  one is SRL311-14418 which was 
built in calendar year 1970.  The rarest as far as production years are 63 
1500 then 67 2000 then 65 1500 then 70 2000.

Would you like to hear the saddest story ever? 

About 9-10 years ago when I was first getting into Datsuns there was a white
early 1500 on a used car lot for $1000. I didn't buy it because it "only"
had a single carb and that "stupid" third seat in the back. I just had to
have a dual carb 2000. What a dumbass...

roflmao.  My first reaction to discovering a single carb 1500 was some  
dumbass was playing around.  I had never seen a single in my life and had  owned a 
lot of roadsters.  Then I looked a little closer and saw the dash  plate 
indicating 77 HP and I knew the 1500 duals had 85 HP, so I researched  further and 
discovered that the first production cars had singles.  Car  runs great and 
has a lot of torque and gives the 1600's a run for the  money.  Guess we all 
have some interesting "sad stories", great to hear  that one.  Hope the car is 
still restorable and not someone's tuna can.

Hi All,

I am in Spokane WA and I have an early 67 body shell with frame and  
fenders that needs to find a new home. I have it listed on craigslist  
for $100 but I would gladly give it to anyone in the roadster  
community including resellers and vendors if they can come pick it up  
very soon. I don't want to see it crushed. The whole car has to go at  
once as I don't have the time or desire to part it out. There are  
pictures and a phone number to reach me at in the ad on craigslist at:

I would have replied earlier but I have been detoxing for a week or so.

I'd like to thank Dave & Marty for the job they did at the Glen this year. 
For as little time as you had it turned out good.

I'd also thank the suppliers who donated items, Classic motor sport; datsun 
parts; rising sun racing; bay state nissan and all the people who brought 
give aways.

If you would like to be put on a Wakins Glen mailing list please email me 
direct and I'll see that it will be done.

Vincent great ale. We'll see you next spring.

Reminds me of Jay Leno's comment about the Bugatti Royale - "Of the 6 that were built, only 10 remain..."; joking, of course, about the faking that goes on at the highest levels of the classic automobile market.

So - take a carburetor off of a 1500, make a new data plate showing 77HP instead of 85 - voila - instant very rare Roadster!  ;^)

I wasn't asserting that the '70 2000 is the rarest Roadster, I was 
asking if it is. Earliest doesn't mean most rare - fewest made or 
surviving does. If only a dozen out of 300 single-carb 1500s survive, 
that's pretty rare. How many '70 2000s survive out of the 92 that were 
built?

One of the problems, particularly with the 2L Solex B cams is that it could  
have been built that way at the factory, done at the dealer, or by an owner. 
All  the parts including the tag were available and no records were kept. It is 
 nearly impossible to prove an original car. Detroit on the other hand seemed 
to  have when the lug nut installer blew his nose archived somewhere, I think 
it's  the 14th digit of the serial number.

Message-ID: <8C9C841E3B9DB1D-F28-655B@webmail-de17.sysops.aol.com>

Got the fuel pump off finally on my car with the help of a fellow Roadsterite, Peter. Looks like the process is to put a jack stand under the right front, take off the tire for good access and visibility, put a 2x4 on edge on the jack and under the edge of the oil pan, right side, and then slowly jack up the motor after you have loosened the right front motor mount nuts quite a bit. When pump clears the frame, remove and replace with early rebuildable or electric. Change oil since gas probably went into oil pan.
Thanks to all for tips.

Hi list

Backup lights
I have decided to go with backup lights from Moss Motors (designed for MGB). 
They are about 2"" square. and @31.00 each

Order of knobs on center console.
What is the correct DESCENDING order of the 4 knobs for the 1970 1600

Interior Lights.
Thinking of having automatic(when the door opens)+manual interior lighting 
(somewhere under the dash)
Any thorts suggestions

Rear Bumper - need
Not sure of the year, but the bumper with the RECESSED number plate light. I 
will be rechroming it, but obviously the straigher the better (don't need 
overriders - not installing them anyway)

Map Light
Want to install "flexible" map light - probably on some kind of stalk
Again, any thorts/suggestions/sources

Extra power source (cigarrette lighter type)
Again, any thorts/suggestions (location??)

Headsets.
Although my roadster is quite quiet, after a day of conversing with a 
passenger, it can be a bit tough on the throat. Looking for install somekind 
of headset system for the driver/passenger (kind of like one can get for a 
motor cycle - but don't need helmet)

Fuel Filler
Would like to put fuel filler under the licesnse plate (clearly I have to 
find someway of hinging the latter) Again, any thorts/suggestions.

Thanks for your input in advance.

the other opinion on rarest would be who has the car with the hardest to
obtain parts.

i would think the older car would be harder to obtain parts for than the
newer, but just
IMHO.

but does it really matter?  i have a fun to drive street legal go-kart with an
after market
stereo and a cig lighter that doesn't work.

i can't drive by without a carload of kids pointing and i can't stop for gas
without
someone making a comment.  i get the wind in my hair and the bugs still miss

With all the talk about highest VIN, I started looking closer at mine. It's titled as a '69 and has the tear drop side markers up front and the small round ones at the back. But the VIN is 14172. The former owner took the body off the frame and the numbers matched. So does that make it a '69 or '70? Or do I have a rare '70 with '69 trim? Anyone else with VIN's that don't match the side markers?

FWIW, in the 510 world there were quite a few early '70 cars with various
'69 bits.

It is the old "model changeover" dilemma.
My '65 SP310 is virtually a '65 SP311, excepting the G15 to R16, front drum
to disc brake and positive to negative earth electrics.
If the parts bin still had something in it, it got used till runout, then
the changeover to current specs. happened.
Makes a mockery of accuracy when evaluating a restoration.
Anything may have been used on any car in the factory, quite legitimately.
Doesn't happen to the same extent in this day of umpty nine VIN sytems!

When I went to look at the part car I bought, the guy had told me over the phone that the car was a 69 but when I got there, it turned out to be a 68 body style titled as a 69. (I was disappointed but bought the car any way as it was a great deal.) 

>From what I have read, been told, etc, it was not uncommon to see this. 68s sold as 69, 69 sold as 70. 

I am far from an expert, but this is my half cent worth.

Stay away from Armorall as it has a oil base and when you stop using it the
dash dries at and starts to crack. Plus during a hot day it evaporates and
goes all over the windscreen. I use a product in Australia called Mr Sheen
its' a spray on funiture cleaner/polish. You can use different products such
as dash wipes as long as they don't have a greasy feel to them.

His answer: -
Just wipe it down with a damp cloth.

Hi folks,
I'm building a rotor to mount the SP310 body [only] onto and have a few Q's
to those who have been here before.
>From your experience, where is the "sweet spot" for the pivots, front and
rear?
I plan to have the vertical orientation adjustable [slotted plate] so I can
fine tune the centreline, but I'm after a ballpark location.
 
I going to use the two front and the two rear chassis mount holes for the
frame attachment.
Are these OK to use considering I have the door openings braced with a
tubing framework?
 
The pivots I'm using are actually Datsun drum brake front wheel hubs, bolted
to a horizontal platform.
I have found these to be ideal for this application and very cheap to
purchase [read $ZIP].
They require zero effort to rotate once the load is balanced.
 
Once I get it all working, I'll make the details available to anyone

Thanks for any input.

Larry Reynolds is the ultimate detailing products seller, check him out at www.carcareonline.com  A lot of peope think they know everything, he really does, he was a chemist before he was a detailing products dealer and knows this stuff down to the molecular level, Pebble Beach entrants refer to him for their stuff, and he tries to save you money by advsing the least expensive of the literally thousands of premium products he carries.  Paint, chrome, aluminium trim, rubber appearance and preservation, he is the man.  I have no interest other than being a thrilled customer.  He spent two hours on the phone telling me how to use the DeWalt machine polisher that he sold me for less than it was at Home Depot.
   
  Alll that being said Vinylex works great for plastic preservation and is available at Pep Boys, its not expensive.  Avoid Armor all, call Larry for a detailed explanantion why.

I've been using '303 Aerospace Protectant' on several cars, (but not my 
roadster). Like the results over time, it's claimed to have excellent UV 
protection, and FWIW the BMW crowd loves it.

FWIW when my upholstery guy pulled the old seat covers off one of my

along the seams, and other areas where the stuff was able to penetrate, was
uniformly stained and brittle, whereas the areas that were untouched by
chemical "protectants" were like new. The prior owner had told me that he
had kept the surface areas looking good with frequent Armorall applications.

I've also heard that Aerospace 303 is a good product and I have used it with
good results. I still do use Armorall but on a very, very light basis.

I Armor-All'd the bench seat on my old PL-521 pickup - once. The good news was that I was certain to use my seatbelt, because the seat was so slippery that w/o the belt I would have slid over to the passenger-side door on left hand turns!

i purchased a vinyl tonneau cover for a pickup, and the guy insisted that 
the 303 was the best thing to prolong the life of the tonneau.

my brother in law used to use armor all extensively on a black rubber bumper 
(i think it was a saab), and after a few years the clear plastic lifted off!

I'll heartily agree on the NOT-Armor All bandwagon.

My personal feeling about Armor All is that it is the equivalent of HEROIN 
for vinyl.  It may "look" and "feel" great, but it is literally killing the 
vinyl.

I had a 76 Mercury Capri II (remember those?) that I had meticulously cared 
for since I bought from the prior owner who was also a "neat-noid".  The car 
had been cared for with Armor All on a regular (at least every couple of 
weeks) basis...until I entered the Air Force.  Then for a period of 12 weeks 
(Basic Training and Tech School) it didn't get it's periodic "fix".  I 
returned to find a dash with splits the size of the Grand Canyon and other 
tributaries.

As far as what I use, well I have a small stash of a product called "Clear 
Guard" by the Turtle Wax people.  Unfortunately it is no longer being 
manufactured, my guess is because it worked TOO well.  I called the company 
some time back and was told that sales were sluggish.  I can understand why, 
the product is excellent, lasts forever, doesn't attract dust and only 
requires a small spray for a large area.

So, with the disappearance of Clear Guard, I found Meguiar's Vinyl and 
Leather Protectant.  Very good product, and easy to apply.  Lasts a fair 
length of time, and haven't noticed a lot of dust attraction or any 
problems.

Another product is Boss Gloss from the POR-15 folks.  This stuff is 
excellent, with one major drawback....do NOT use it on any surface that you 
do NOT want to be slippery.  It says so right on the bottle.  Items such as 
Motorcycle Seats, Grips, Car Pedals, Shift Knobs, Steering wheels and any 
and all Leather and CLEAR Plastic / Plexiglass are items to avoid.  Why is 
it excellent?  Because it WILL keep a nice satin shine on vinyl for MONTHS.

I've heard many good things about 303, and just recently acquired a bottle, 
but have not had the opportunity to use it and as such cannot comment one 
way or the other.

FWIW

This is very interesting to me, as I am in the design phase of my rotisserie
as we speak. (or write, I guess would be more accurate ;-) )
I was also headed to the junkyard for some cheap spindles/bearings/hub
assemblies for mine, and I also intend to make the vertical positioning
adjustable. It sounds like maybe we'd be smart to compare designs and see if
we can learn from each other for a really good setup? If you're interested,
lets talk off-list about it.
I don't think I can rely on the two front body mounts, as you've described, as
I have considerable rust on the inner 'fenderwell', if you will, and will be
replacing a lot of metal. I think i'll be building a mount to go all the way
in and pickup the body mount under the footwells.

My biggest "engineering" hurdle right now is how to make this rotisserie
stable, but mobile. (I'd like to be able to roll it around the garage). I'd
like to come up with a way to easily "lower" casters (raising the rotisserie)
when I want to move it, and then raise them again so the frame sits solidly on
the floor while I'm working. Any ideas?

wax, PS21-S (I think) that I'm sold on. I buy Vinylex from him by the 
gallon. Best of all, when you buy from him, he gives you a comprehensive 
product sheet that contains several pages of car care advice. The advice is 
online too, but the paper version keeps you from having to haul the computer 
out onto the driveway.

This may end up being a duplicate, but the reply I sent earlier hasn't shown
up yet.  Some additional info - even with it on casters, the unit was very
stable - wouldn't move around with the force of sanding, etc.  The lock
bolts on the engine stand were plenty to keep it from rolling, and balanced
enough that my 8 yr. old 50 lb daughter could spin it...

I have a bunch of pictures of the one I built from two cheapo HF engine
stands
on this page
http://www.mildevco.net/chevypowereddatsuns/rotisserie.htm

Also more pics on http://www.mildevco.net/chevypowereddatsuns/bodywork.htm

After working with it on the tub, I went to fit up the fenders, and found
the front mounting frame wouldn't work the way it was, so I changed it to
allow bolting on the fenders. Required putting an offset in that mount to
clear the front apron.

Pics on this page http://www.mildevco.net/chevypowereddatsuns/bodywork2.htm

Sorry I don't have any dimensions ( rotisserie is down at Jim Sloan's race
barn, about an hour from here), but there are several  side-on pictures at
various places on those pages that show an approximate the height of
roll-center of the body relative to distinct body features like the step-out
of the apron - looks to be just above the bottom of the rear license plate
recess, and 2-1/2 - 3" above the apron step in the front.

Good Evening,

Several months ago I posted the below information regarding an issue that I was having with my roadster.  Well finally (after 4 months)  I have solved, or at least paid for a solution to the problem. So here was the solution:

Symptoms that were not solved:

1.)  The temp gauge is not working properly, using a temp gun, the engine is around 180 not nearly the 250 that the temp gauge reads
2.)  Oil pressure gauge goes crazy - acts like a tachometer when you push on the gas, basically jumps from 0-60 and back down. - no solution but an oil gauge at the shop shows that the oil pressure stays steady.


BUT:

So the car was running about 45 minutes then backfire, no power.  The fuel was not getting from the tank through the filter and to the carbs causing the car to "vapor lock".  After replacing the fuel tank, fuel lines, filter. No joy.  So what Datsun Dynamics (defunct shop in Alexandria VA owner suggested), we (actually a shop) added a mechanical fuel pump inside the gas tank.  The car runs great now.  Any one ever done this before?  or heard of such a thing?

So any suggestions on the gauges?  Should I just replace them?  Oh the light is burned out in the speedo, is there a trick to that too?

Chuck


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 68 1600 R16 engine.

The car runs good for 45 minutes or so.  Then it begins to backfire.  This 
backfire is toward the manifold or carbs not through the tailpipe. If I am 
going 45 mph and it begins to backfire, no matter how much or how little 
throttle I give it it continues to backfire and rolls to about 5 MPH.  At this 
point it has NO power what so ever.  I can stop the car and wait 20 or 30 
minutes, it will start and then go for a little while and do the exact same 
thing.  So here is what I have had done so far:

1.)  Replaced thermostat and radiator
2.)  Engine rebuild
3.)  Replaced carbs (from Z-Therapy)
4.)  Replaced fuel pump, fuel line and fuel tank


Conditions that occur each time:

1.)  Temp gauge goes to 220
2.)  Oil Pressure gauge starts to look like a tach, jumps from 20 to 40 and 
then to zero.  While it is backfiring and you are giving it gas, the oil press 
gauge moves up and down the way a tach would do it.
3.)  Backfires
4.)  Engine is on but the car has NO power.

Observations:

1.)  There is NO steam or overheat conditions at the radiator that would 
suggest that it is over heated, no antifreeze in the oil
2.)  No oil leaks

Any suggestions would be greatly appricated.

Chuck

Here is a speedo issue that I am having, I wonder if it could be a trans pinion solution.

for a 68 1600 in which I have put a 5-Speed tran which trans pinion should I have?  How difficult is it to replace and where is the best place to get it (I am on the east coast)?

What is occurring is that it reads approximately 10 miles faster then my actual speed.  The odometer also calculates about the same.  For instance today, after going 14 miles on a GPS the odo read 17.4.

Tim,

Don't know if plugging the one hole will work, or not, but it certainly 
looks much neater if done individually. On my 1600, the 'pipes' have been 
substituted with plugs.

On my 1600 we did the holes individually and does look clean, more neat, etc. I am done with the motor on this car--hopefully. 

On my 2000 I am having a very hard time getting one of the nuts loose that is holding the pipe down.              This car's engine needs much more work as it leaks like a sieve and might need to be pulled. If I pull it, it might--most likely will-- get replaced with a KA or SR motor--eventually. This is why I really don't want to put much effort into the de-smog effort.

This last is why I am wondering if it will work just plugging the end of the pipe.

Message-ID: <005101c7fe22$6b35f570$c6bf1e18@fergus031a2176>

So, good friend Gary Wasserman sold me a used blinker switch for my 69 2000,
which finally solved all my blinker woes.
The first time I drove it to work at oh-dark-thirty, I realized that using the
blinkers, both directions, also turned on the hi-beams. So, since you know
this car, for me, is a "driver", not a resto-to-stock quest, what would be the
best course of action:
A) wire to a separate toggle switch attached to bottom of dash? (unthread the
wires from the stalk and install a radio shack toggle switch
(temp-off-constant type).  If I was to do this, what minimum amp rating should
that switch have?
B) is it just contacts to clean or something simple to check?
I would be fine with only the instantaneous hi-beam switch side working, as I
don't have the occasion to drive with the high beams on for any amount of
time.

I wound up doing both with my '70 2000.  When I first pulled the smog  
stuff to do an alternator swap, I just capped the end of the  
"manifold."  Later, when I replaced the carbs and intake, I removed  
the smog manifold and plugged each hole.  Plugging each hole looks  
much nicer but didn't seem to have any affect on performance.

1. Got the MGB (gasp!) backup lights today - they will look great -
2. Found a aftermarket flip down/up bracket for the license plate for $25 
(too lazy to do the parts yards)

Looking for the earlier rear bumper that has the recessed license number 
plate light+light. Doesn't need to be good -  just straight - I will 
rechrome.

The light on the console didn't work, so I unscrewed it (actually a bayonet 
fitting) and found one wire attached with a another soldered end. I 
initial;ly assumed that the 'other wire' had somehow disconnected itself, 
yet I can find no wire (loose/unaccounted for) in the immediate vicinity 
other than the (presumed) input wire.

Anyone have any idea how this works (the bulb works by the way)

Hello all,

I am currently looking at painting my car and remember seeing a link on the
list to a yellow car with big fat 8'' black stripes and I have lost that link.
Can someone point me in the right direction to the link. I need to get the
design passed by the wife before I go down that track (she pays the bills).

Pete

Hi
I recall that my earlier roadster (when they were used cars( 30 years ago )) 
had a white plastic bezel between the window winder and the door insert. I 
recall this, because it was such a pain to compress everything to get it 
out, ot to mention putting it back in.

a) can anyone confirm this
b) does anyone have two in reasonable condition
c) I have only ONE of the clips necesary to hold the winder on ( which

In the interest of higher visibility ( viz the thread about brighter stop 
lights etc.) has anyone acheived blinking side markers.
Initially, I thought it would be simple to include the side markers with the 
directionals, yet it would appear that the side markers only accept a 
regular bulb.
Am I missing something, or is something needed to deliver intermittent power 
to the side lamps?

This is the ARII 1/32 " '67 Fairlady 200GT" kit. I built it to replicate a
friend's 1967 Datsun 1600 roadster.
The kit has major indentity crisis so it was tough to make a great replica of
the 1:1. It has a grille from a 2000 and a dash from a 1500. The word "Datsun"
is spelled "DatsAn" on the hood, door handles from a '68 plus some other
oddities. FWIW the kit is fun to build and I would like to try the others in
the lineup.Details I added: -windsheild center post. -Drilled holes in
steering wheel spokes-Chrome side trim-Drilled holes in wheels!-Added chrome

Both Datsunparts.com and Fairladyparts.com (Page 150) carry those.  They 
call them Door Escutcheons.

Datsunparts.com (Part # 1300 4 Plastic pieces only $40 or #2100 including 
Springs $47).

I couldn't find pricing for Fairladyparts, but they're bound to be 
comparable.

Something I found on the internet (yeah, I know) claimed to achieve this by 
putting one wire to the blinker wire and one to the park lamp wire.  Then 
the side marker would blink with the turn signal, but remain on when not.

I've not tried this, nor have I really investigated it, but that's it in a 
nutshell.

I'll see if I can find the link and re-post.

Interesting idea. I will look into doing this mod myself once (if ever) the body is done. 

Can any one send me that picture with legible text? I tried to enhance it on my computer, but still cannot make most of the words out.

If it turns out that the rewiring of the marker lights does not give you 
the operation you desire, please let me know. Adding a few relays should 
do the trick. I don't have time to look into it today, but should later 
in the week.

Thanks for all the replies.

it was Gary's car that I had seen photos of. The wife likes the idea and will
let me go with it.
Now I will have to try and get a finish like that in the black stripe. It's
like looking in a mirror.

etc - they have stuff that almost prompts you to do something - and the 
prices are very reasonable

2. just had ipod/cd changer installed. This caused the passenger side vinyl 
insert to no longer fit. Don't want eo cut my original down, so need to 
fabricate a new insert. Looking for someplace that I can purchase black 
vinyl  ( that will essentially match ) in the LA Area.

The oval vent gaskets on my car were trashed - helllo - so I bought some new 
ones from Dean. (quite reasonably priced in my opinion)
Installiing them was another matter. Remember that Datsun only supplied 
these as a a complete unit. There is a residue of the former "gasket" 
sandwiched between the 'spindle' and the plate. I had nothing in my tool 
arsenal thin enough to clean it out. (again remember that this was an 
assembled part - they put the gasket on the plate and riveted it on)
So, it wasn't working for me.
I drilled out the rivets, tapped it with an 8-32 tap and re-assembled.
Of course, since the stuff was available, I decided to paint it, so I 
possibly have the best lookig vents in the roadster universe (as if anyone 
is going to look)

Overall, it takes less time to do this than to "clean' it out and try and 
fit the gasket on.

Someone up north of here ( Los Angeles ) had a neat split front bumper 
arrangement which I would like to emulate.
I think all I need is a somewhat trashed front bumper (with good ends) that 
I can have cut and welded, ( possibly a trashed rear would work too if the

Anyone ??

Here is a speedo issue that I am having, I wonder if it could be a trans
pinion solution.

for a 68 1600 in which I have put a 5-Speed tran which trans pinion should I
have?  How difficult is it to replace and where is the best place to get it
(I am on the east coast)?

What is occurring is that it reads approximately 10 miles faster then my
actual speed.  The odometer also calculates about the same.  For instance
today, after going 14 miles on a GPS the odo read 17.4.

Subject: [Roadsters] How to warm up a Roadster?
Message-ID: <C3213207.3691%gsm@gregorysmorrison.com>

To choke or not to choke, that is the question.

Once and for all I'm trying to figure out the best way to start off without
fouling the plugs or causing gasket problems due to metal components warming
up (and therefore expanding) at different rates.

I've always choked it as little as possible, for the least amount of time as
possible. If it's warm out then that's not too much of a problem. When it's
colder out it becomes more of an issue. The hand throttle really helps with
this. I try not to take off until I see a bump on the temp gauge.

For point of reference this is a low mile, stock, non-smog 2000 that runs
great.

Suggestions?

Keith Williams looked at my carbs in Shasta and set the mixture while the
engine was running at 2000 RPM for the high speed balance rather than at
idle.  The logic behind his choice of where to set the mixture was that we
run the engines closer to 2000 RPM than we do at idle.  Up until then Mr.
Hyde had a serious plug fouling problem, but since that minor change in the
setup procedure I have not experienced any plug fouling and Mr. Hyde is
still very responsive.

You don't have much control over, or contribution to, expansion. The
only thing you can do wrong is run too lean, which will cause a higher
cylinder temp. I use full choke for cold starts and I open the choke
slowly until the engine starts to stumble (too lean) and then close it
up a bit. I test the choke setting a few times while it warms up. If
you're really worried about a too-fast warm-up then you want to be a bit
generous with the choke. Plugs are cheap and the kind of fouling they
experience with choking will burn off after a bit of driving. True
fouling is best done by oil contamination (worn rings, or worse).

If you open the choke fully as soon as it's running and use the throttle
to keep it running you are running lean (hot). The choke isn't an on/off
proposition. It's a variable setting that will get closer to full open
as the engine warms.

Opening the choke does not lean out the mixture, it richens it.

I'm not sure how you figure this. From the perspective of the butterfly
valve, pulling on the choke handle closes the valve. Pushing the choke
handle toward the dash opens the butterfly valve. When the valve is
closed the fuel ratio is enriched because of greater vacuum in the
venturi. Since air is easier to "pull" than fuel and the carburetor is
set up for a certain balance of air/fuel, if you block the air entry
(close the choke) you change the balance of fuel to air.

Everything I've been taught says you enrich the air/fuel mixture to
start a cold engine.

SU or Solex? :-)

The SU does not have a choke in the normal sense. The knob we
tug on is really a 'fuel enrichment' knob. In reality, nothing opens
or closes.

On a 'standard' carb such as a Solex, there's a physical air restrictor
plate that reduces the air admitted. Same fuel, less air = richer
mixture. "Closing" the choke richens the mixture by suffocating
air flow.

On an SU, pulling the "choke" knob drops the needle seat, effectively
opening the needle opening, increasing fuel flow. Air flow remains the
same.

Don't know if any of this helps the discussion...

  Did everybody forget that roadsters with SUs do NOT have real 'chokes'.
Pulling the choke handle only lowers the needle seat making a bigger opening
for fuel to the venturi, richening the mixture.

Technically it is not a choke, as it does not physically restrict airflow to produce a richer mixture, but functionally it does the same thing, just bass-ackwards because of the way these weird ol' carbs work!

	Catalog
Message-ID: <002201c80155$010ebc50$7864640a@ABARIS.LOCAL>

The online fairlady parts catalog has moved to a new address:

http://datsun311parts.tungen.net

All part numbers and figures from the old microfiche should be there. I
addition you will find new part numbers from Nissan where these are still
listed in the Nissan system. The quantity column (qty) is mostly set to 1,
which is plain wrong in many cases. Getting these right is a manual process
that will take some weeks to finish. Also, the search engine needs some
tuning that I hope will improve with time.

I also have a list of the parts that are definitely NLA from Nissan. and
will add this info to the part listings at a later stage. But, of course a
lot of the parts still listed by Nissan are also NLA.

Working on making the figures above the part listings bigger. It will take
some time to get them all done. But when you se a small thumbnail sized
figure you can always click on it to make it bigger or to drill down to the
part listings.

I have many ideas on what I might add later. The 310 parts should definitely
have been there. Maybe even the H20 engine also. An automatic VIN# and part
number decoder would be nice. The list is endless....

Also working on part catalogs for other classic Datsuns, like the 510, C30,
S30, S130, 520 & 521, 411 and many more. My ultimate goal is to able to
follow part numbers across models, years and regions, but that will require
a lot of part numbers and figures/diagrams to realize.

In the mean time I hope you will find it useful, and if you find any errors,
please let me know. Thanks.

Since everyone likes to correct me, lets look at the original post where it 
said

<For point of reference this is a low mile, stock, non-smog 2000 that runs 
great.>

And the post I was replying to that said:

<If you open the choke fully as soon as it's running and use the throttle to 
keep it running you are running lean (hot).>

Which I read as, if you pull the choke knob out, it will be running lean, 
which is when I said

<Opening the choke does not lean out the mixture, it richens it.>

On the above referenced car (a stock SU Datsun Roadster) pulling the choke 
knob will not lean out the mixture, it will richen it up, so I stand by my 
original statement

My Dad is 85. He has owned cars since he had a Model T when he was 16. He was a mechanic and apprentice machinest before he left high school. He and his buddies built a racer with his buddies from a model A and they ran it for speed on the desert outside LA. After a time in the USAF during WW2 he was, among other jobs the chief engineer in the Thompson Products Engine Parts development lab. You know them today as TRW. He was chief engineer at Purolater Filters back when they were huge.
   
  He told me many years ago, the best way to warm up a car is to drive it. He said an engine doesn't benefit from being warmed up once the oil pressure is up, just don't get on it hard. He has gotten huge miles from cars. Even back in the 60's, he didn't expect to open an engine before 100,000 miles, and he never did. His best, 240,000 on a 1969 Volvo without opening the engine.I had it the last 60,000. We have no idea how long it went after that, we sold it. 
   
  All he did was take it easy when cold and change the oil every 3,000 miles.
   
  I think he knows engines. He helped me rebuild my first Datsun.

You don't have much control over, or contribution to, expansion. The
only thing you can do wrong is run too lean, which will cause a higher
cylinder temp. I use full choke for cold starts and I open the choke
slowly until the engine starts to stumble (too lean) and then close it
up a bit. I test the choke setting a few times while it warms up. If
you're really worried about a too-fast warm-up then you want to be a bit
generous with the choke. Plugs are cheap and the kind of fouling they
experience with choking will burn off after a bit of driving. True
fouling is best done by oil contamination (worn rings, or worse).

If you open the choke fully as soon as it's running and use the throttle
to keep it running you are running lean (hot). The choke isn't an on/off
proposition. It's a variable setting that will get closer to full open
as the engine warms.

That's a good policy.

Hi all

I've just bought a late (1967) right hand drive?1600 already registered in the UK - nice car in white - needs a few bits (don't they all?) but it's in great shape and needed a good home.??

I've only ever owned/seen a couple of 1965 1600s in the UK so there are some detail differences I was expecting between?these and the later car.?However, it has the wider fenders and the late badges (DATSUN above the strip and 1600 below) which are exactly the same as my old 1969 car. 

I thought these must have been?replacements, but I've seen a few images of cars with the same fenders and coincidentally the?car on the?'The Cars That Ate Paris' movie I uploaded a few weeks ago is the same spec also.????

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJa6GXpsU7o

So my question is, what was correct for this model year? Or are they both correct?

Thanks in advance.

Rob,
This sounds like a 67.5 car so the badge arrangement should be  
exactly the same as the low screen 2000. Off hand I can't remember  
what flare is correct for the front guards. I know on high screen  
cars the 1600s and 2000s have different flares.

The tensioner gave out on my drivers side seat belt.  Does anyone happen
to have a replacement that they would part with?

Many thanks Phill and Ross - it has the dual master cylinders?so all is good.
?
I'm looking for a few bits -?a front top latch (the chrome latch?attached to the top), another pair of these for the hardtop, and the central windshield bar. It also needs a set of body strips (these cost an arm an a leg I know ...). The seats have been re-upholstered in cloth,?and I would be interested to hear if any seat covers are available.

Any help appreciated.

Rob?

Rob,?
This sounds like a 67.5 car so the badge arrangement should be exactly the same as the low screen 2000. Off hand I can't remember what flare is correct for the front guards. I know on high screen cars the 1600s and 2000s have different flares.?

Space saver spare from a late 80's/early 80's 280ZX works; finding an 
inflator bottle is problematic.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a rebuild kit for a leaky right wheel
cylinder, or a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

I heard about MGBs using Saab 900/9000 donuts.  Bolt spacing is the  
same,  question is whether the hole is big enough for the front hub.

I thought this was a roadster site.  They don't have tensioners on the

>From a thread on the 311s.org forums:
-----------------------------------------------------------

So, I broadened my JY search & found that the "donut" from the first
generation Saab 900 (1979-1987) works like a charm. It is thin and of a
smaller diameter than the stock steel wheel + tire.

The only caveat is that it did rub a little on the brake pad keeper bracket
on one side of my car. Those keepers stick out so much; the one on my
passenger front rubs on just about every rim I bring near my car.

So, worst case, if you have a flat in the front & find rubbing, swap a
healthy wheel/tire from the back and put the donut in its place.

I don't know if this merits entry into the "interchange" list on the main
site, but I figured it would be worth sharing. Here are some pics:

<http://www.311s.org/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=310>
<http://www.311s.org/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=311>

I'm psyched to get photo numbers 310 & 311!

I am seriously thinking of taking a cross country trip in November as a

I will make sure the heater works!!!
Apart from a spare water pump,gasket,head gasket anything else that I should 
take along apart from tools,jack etc. (and a map of course). Don't suspect 
they see too many of these little cars in Mississippi etc.

I don't know whether you have the stock seats or Miata seats in your
Roadster. I have the original seats in my '69, and if I'm planning to
drive for more than a couple of hours I take a full-sized pillow to stick
under my rear! Good luck with your trip.

hi peter, i dont know if you would need a spare

cyl. or kit, and a kit for the cl.master cyl.. also,
an extra fuel pump, or kit, or rig up an electric
pump to work. if your distributor is electronic,
take a used set of points and cond. to change
back, if necessary. extra oil, and a gal. of water
might come in handy. if you have an extra
alternater, and /or volt reg., throw it in too.
i know, you didnt want to have to pull a trailer,
too, or have a chase car follow you. i guess its

Peter,

First and foremost, a cell phone should be on the list. A list of 
"\Roadster friendly" folks along the way. We put one of these together 
about a decade ago, including what "services" and spare parts/expertise 
were available.

I'd carry water, and oil, and a list of the spare parts that are at home 
where someone can find them  and overnight to you if needed.

I bought my second Roadster over the internet and flew from Austin Texas 
to Los Angeles to pick it up and drive it home. I had to stop at one 
point and replace the head gasket, but that was all I needed. I figured 
that the closer to Austin I got the less it would cost me to have it 
shipped. We drove in without any other problem.

Please let the list know when and by what route you plan on traveling so 
we can possibly meet up with you for a meal or something.

Peace,
Pat

 Don't forget about duct tape, electrical tape. I'd bring a spare alternator unless you have the GM, fuel floats. Basically any item you don't want to be waiting for the UPS guy to deliver. Also Hagherty insurance has a tow option if you have that insurance so you could use it with AAA if you had to.
The usual tools plus a voltmeter.
Make sure all you clothes coordinate, there's not going to be much room left! 
Get a list of Roadster buddies along the way who could rescue you if needed, or perhaps be a B &B for you

Sounds like fun but the weather could be a challenge.

Subject: [Roadsters] FREE - Soon to be Scrap Early '67 Frame and Body Shell
	in WA
Message-ID: <A6E80770-5FA2-4CE3-A5EF-FC5AB009EB6E@bikeswap.com>

I still have this car but I need to see it gone before the snow and  
or rain starts here in Spokane and I am forced to reduce it to  
smaller pieces so that I can access my garage. I am keeping the car  
as complete as possible so as to make it worthwhile for somebody to  
haul away but I will strip it soon and cut the remainder up for scrap.

I will gladly give it away to avoid it going to the crusher. Send me  
an email or call 509-209-3452 and we can make arrangements for adoption.

I have the car listed with pictures on Craigs List in Spokane Wa. at:

thanks

Since when are Solex carbs considered standard (ahem!). Turns out the
Mikuni/Solex carbs don't use a butterfly valve to "choke" the air flow. They
use a fuel enrichment circuit similar to the Weber (or maybe it's the other
way around). Applying the choke rotates the starter disk that applies vacuum
to the starter circuit, pulling fuel from the float bowl through the starter
jet, then emulsifying it with air and then releasing it through a port on
the engine side of the throttle valves. Note the very early Solex PHH carbs
(old Alfas and Mercedes 180SLs) did have a conventional choke valve, but
these are really a staged two barrel carbs with a primary and secondary
throat and have almost nothing in common with the Mikuni/Solex 44PHH design.
In my climate I have found that the accel pumps on the Solex are large
enough that one never needs to use the "choke".

Don't forget the fan belts and good luck.  I have made that trip myself, fan belt broke 100 miles before my destination, fortunately I had the spare.  Dewey
