If the engine starts and runs for an extended period you have a defective alternator and or charging circuit issues. I would suggest charging a good battery prior testing to eliminate a sub par battery.

I was in college, didn't have the money to replace the alternator so when it got dark, I tucked in behind a 58 footer semi and drove the last 140 miles WITHOUT the headlites on. I figured if the semi was loaded and hit something, it would still take longer than my 1 ton roadster to stop. People kept flashing me high beams the whole way and I thought, do they really think I don't know my lights are off?? Not smart, but no other choice. Begged my Dad for the money to replace the alternator when I got into Sacramento. --- On Fri, 12/4/09, peter harrison wrote: From: peter harrison Subject: Re: [Roadsters] non roadster question To: "datsun" Date: Friday, December 4, 2009, 9:07 PM you can run a car a long time on a battery - as long as you don't use the headlights - i remember running from gorman pass to van nuys with just side markers when the alternator packed up - dangerous - but deemed necessary - turned on the headlights - and DIED. > From: sumton at sbcglobal.net > To: datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net > Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 16:48:33 -0600 > Subject: Re: [Roadsters] non roadster question > > the alternator on my roadster is currently not hooked up, and i've been > running the engine and driving it around the driveway. of course, i have to > periodically hook up the charger. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve Wells" > To: "Pat Mahoney" ; "datsun roadster" > ; "Bubba" > Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 1:34 PM > Subject: Re: [Roadsters] non roadster question > > I lost the alternater on my 68 1600 some years ago on a trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento ~ about 440 miles, 7 hr trip.

Take the doors, for example. You want the door gaps to be as even as you can get them (Remember, your dealing with '60s vintage Japanese quality), and you want the outer surface to align with the rear of the front fender and the rear quarter. That alignment is determined by the positions of the hinges and door striker. Line everything up without the weatherstrip, and then the weatherstrip will compress as needed to allow the doors and trunk to close. When my '66 was redone, the shop aligned the panels without the weatherstrips in place. The old ones were gone, and I never gave them the new ones to work with. Note that I used factory door seals, so it was very difficult to close the doors when I first put the weatherstrips in place. I glued them on, then taped them in place, closed the doors (with difficulty), and left the doors closed for several days. Over time (weeks, not months) the weatherstrips compressed to the point where the doors now close with a gentle push. I did bend the lip to which the door weatherstrip mounts in a little at the front corner.

Dan Zubkoff, the owner, has been on the list although I don't know if he currently subscribes. He also has a gorgeous low windshield (I think) late roadster with a KA24 conversion. A couple of years ago when Phil Hall was in San Antonio a group of us had dinner at our favorite Tex-Mex place in Beorne, about 35 miles north of SA on I-10. Dan drove the KA engined car from Katy (Houston) to Boerne, hung out for a bit, then drove back to Katy, roughly 400 miles total! The guy is certifiable, as a roadster nut anyway.

I've seen low-windshield cars, side-by-side, that had different mirrors when both owners swear that the mirrors on them when new. I've heard accounts that mirrors were installed at the dealer. Other accounts that the dealers would remove a single, Datsun supplied driver's side to add a pair of matching mirrors. And still other account that Datsun used whatever parts were available the day they were producing. I think any of these would only concern a purist, which my car will tell you I'm not. I've got dual Radyot reproduction mirrors on the "R", our custom '66. Driver's side is flat, and passenger is convex. http://www.mildevco.net/chevypowereddatsuns/yipes_stripes.htm I got them because I liked they way they look, and they are period correct for racing. They're small, vibrate a bit, and are locked in position - no adjustment once you tighten the ball nut, but they do an acceptable job of showing the car I just passed...... If you are going to mount them on the fenders, you'll need a helper to move them around the find your sweet spot, for your mirrors.

If some of the sensors have been disconnected the engine computer can be getting confused. My 85 Z has the Bosh style open loop analog fuel injection. It didn't give you a check engine light when something went wrong, it just acted stupid. Sorting through the sensors and making sure they are all working and hooked up is very time consuming and about impossible without a proper manual. I would start with temperature sensors. keith In a message dated 12/9/2009 8:10:35 P.M.

I first sat in a new 1500 on a showroom of a western Michigan dealer selling Triumph and Honda motorcycles in 1965. My dad's business was 'Bay City Imports' he had sold Renault, Peugeot, Sunbeam, MG and Triumph. He took Datsun on in 1966. By 1968 just Triumph and Datsun were sold from a 25-35 car inventory in a town of 50,000 where GM was the major employer. It was the northernmost import shop of any kind. 1970 he sold it for $50,000 and took over a Datsun store run in an old furniture store in front of the Delray Drive-In Theatre in Florida. The parts dept was all on one shelving unit and there was a single lift outside in back in the hot sun. I was 17, and washed cars and janitored since 12. We sold our last few 311's that summer and they shared showroom space briefly with a 1970 240Z, of which there were very few. Everything else is history from there! I bought and still own a 69 with a damaged front end in 79 and swapped engines to 2000. I rebuilt it again recently and added the 5-speed and another complete paint. I took it off the road in 1990 when I became a Harley dealer, accumulated a number of parts cars later, and in the last 5 years bought decent 66, 67.5, 68 models. Also a solid bare body 69 with rolling chassis which is becoming a show piece being soon assembled by Classic Datsun. I sold the HD store in 2003 and rode motorcycles all over 5 continents . I spent so much money I decided it was about time to tend to my needy flock and catch up to my bills. I had accumulated 4 parts cars too so I began parting them out, giving a rear body half to Mark Harris in Chattanooga. Two sets rear springs went to mine and Bill Hastings 66's. There is a driveline now in every corner and a pile of suspension and steering parts too. I have a 40' trailer storage out back. So I recently doubled my 100 hours of 20 years with 100 the last few months! I have 3 cars very very near ready with maybe 50 hours to make them drive-anywhere. I spent most of 2009 building another 3200' shop in Robbinsville NC with a 2-post lift. My 3500' playhouse in Alabama is currenty where I am working lift-less. Things are going well, alternating working on 4 311's and a 1960 DeSoto my dad gave me. I love it all but can hardly wait to have the whole lot of them road-ready, shined up on display in NC. Where is the fellow who makes ID plates?

Message-ID: I spent some time going down through several established vendors' Fairlady offerings last night while my three dogs piled next to me before bedtime. Good thing I was lieing down already! I've been basically inactive with this stuff since the 80's, I still have the original issue of Rally's book from 1983 I think. I went out to the garage and gathered up all my now-high-dollar spares and gave them their own bin with five shelves. I'll be packing them in boxes with tissue paper and labeling with descriptions and the going rates! Dawn's junk in gas tank: I say pull the gauge sending unit and blast it out with a garden hose or pressure wand, drain, blow dry, inspect, drain plug back in, 2 gallons gas, sender back in, unhook fuel filter up front, direct hose at mothers favorite tupperware bowl and then take a blow gun, wrap a shop wiper around it and carefully pressurize the tank some. Stop, look at gas in tupperware, keep doing until clean. screw the access back on the tank hook up filter, starter'up. Careful, dealing with gas, electricity, static electricity and banging on steel and always keep extinguisher near. I have one in every work area. That is easy. If ya gotta pull the tank down, well, more on that later (kreeming tanks, I done that a bunch on jap m/c gas tanks, brittle recycled steel) Ya wanna avoid this if you can, it takes a long time on a hot day (days) to do it right and is friggin gross, but u can get high on the fumes! I heard grills are in short supply, i have a bunch a 'em but they are Gnarly with a capital 'G' but not all bent to hell like yours might be, $100/each _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

I have only had my roadster 8 years, if I had a nickel for every thread about gas caps, I would have enough for a brake brace support. Timing and Distributors? You just missed the greatest, latest thread about EI distributors and those that make them for our beloved cars. Again if threads/posts equalled nickels, I would have enough to entertain the idea of a Spriso-built Roadster. I highly recommend using the 311s.org resource! Personally when I use it, I usually don't have to wait for most of my questions to be answered by a list. However the most excellent folks here on this list will give any information that is needed. Mind you, this is true especially if what is asked is specific and not covered elsewhere. Good luck, and get several opinions first (including this one).

My 92 Ford Ranger I use only to plow my dirt road. The exhaust system came apart at the V6 manifold taking due to rust a chunk of the drivers manifold with it. The manifold is bolted (not studs and nuts) with 3" long bolts with tiny 10 MM heads. Even a 6 point socket starts to round the head of the bolt. I don't think putting a torch to it will do the aluminum cylinder head any good. The bolt threads are buried and can't get penetrating oil to. I need to get this off.

Either an air powered, or hammer type might do the trick.

After that simply remove the manifold by sliding it off the remaining part of the bolt. Consider that you might need a 900 adaptor for the drill but they're rather inexpensive at Harbor Freight. To re-install why not swap out the bolts with threaded inserts and then use nuts/washers to hold the manifold in place. Just a WAG.

With the clutch out there needs to be some play in the clutch slave cylinder to clutch linkage. If there is no play it could be holding the clutch almost engaged. As I recall there is an adjustment on that linkage. If the linkage on the clutch master cylinder does not have any play in it, that can cause the return hole in the master cylinder to stay covered up, causing the clutch system to stay under pressure. This usually only happens in hot weather, or starts after the car has been driven for some time. I suspect the clutch is already out. You can still drive it that way, but I wouldn't. The clutch slipping generates a bunch of heat that can crack the flywheel. Even though it seems to be working fine after you get off the line, it is probably still slipping and should be taken care of sooner rather than later.

Stomp the gas pedal. If the clutch is slipping, or about to go, the RPM's will rise suddenly, but the car won't actually move much. If the clutch is ok, the car will accelerate normally. I personally wouldn't drive a car with a slipping clutch unless I absolutely have to. You can do excessive wear to other parts. Plus, sometimes a slipping clutch will last awhile, other times, shortly after they start to slip, they go completely and can leave you stranded. If it's slipping and you HAVE to drive it, you want to accelerate very slowly, to minimize the slip. But I'd only drive like that in an emergency, like the clutch started slipping while I was out and I needed to get back home. Hard acceleration = more slippage = more wear = even more slippage... Hope that helps. Eddie Tim wrote: > In first gear, when I release the clutch pedal on my 70 2000, I will have my foot off the pedal, the car seems to be accelerating through mud.

They act as a seal against the machined seat inside the caliper - the bleeder screw, which you'll note is NOT pointed like most screws but rather dished to apply pressure against the BB, presses the BB tightly into the seat. If the BB is rusty (they usually are), it will not properly seal and you'll leak brake fluid. A full-service hardware store should have new ones. I bought a handful so I can replace them whenever I bleed the brakes. Take a thin screwdriver, place a magnet against the shaft, and then you can lift the BB out (the BB sticks to the now-magnetized screwdriver). As Linda points out, you toss the BB if you use speed bleeders. But if you use the factory bleed screw, you need the BB for a proper seal. -- John John F Sandhoff sandhoff at csus.edu Sacramento, CA From granvillecomputing at hotmail.com Sun Dec 20 11:42:03 2009 From: granvillecomputing at hotmail.com (peter harrison) Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 10:42:03 -0800 Subject: [Roadsters] Brake Calipers Message-ID: Cleaning up calipers - took off the clip holding the rubber boot - lots of dirt and stuff inside - is there anyway of removing the caliper piston so that I can give the whole thing a good cleaning - and are there any things to watch out for?

The easiest way I've found to get it out is to use air pressure sparingly to blow the piston out. First, you wull need to use plenty of shop rags to catch the piston when it comes out to make sure it is not damaged. Then block one of the hydraulic line fittings and apply low pressure to the other port. Start low and go up a bit at a time until the piston comes free. Be careful not to bend the pin. If it has been a long time since the calipers have been gone through, sat for a long time, or the brake fluid not changed every couple years, you will probably find the cylinders are pitted beyond use (hence the crud inside the boot). If this is the case you have 2 options, replace the cylinders or have them sleeved. This has been discussed many times on this list and will be in the archives.

Recognizing that this is a California car - however, is there any merit in running some sort of sealant down where the fender meets the body and even in putting thin rubber spacers underneath where the two bolts attach the fender to the body?? On my car, there is clearly some corrosion at the bottom (partly due to the fact that the inner fender is folded over) , even though the bolt holes are bright and clean. Any thoughts on defensive measures in that area?? As to the above, I removed about 1 lb of debris from the area behind the antenna (a significant trap) - haven't started on the passenger side yet - Engine is ready and looking beautiful - thanks to Kevin D. Perhaps too much bling, (i.e. water tower, pump, timing chain cover, carb stacks, valve cover all polished excessively) but that is a consequence of too much wine. a dremel and ME having nothing to do of an evening during the last few weeks or so.

I alphabetical order, so as not to offend anyone, try: Dann at Rallye Dean at Datsunparts Ross at Sports Imports and probably others I cannot recall off the top. (Sorry in advance.) If you buy these parts, it is imperative that you get a visitation by someone with a nozzle centering tool (small fitting). If the nozzle is not centered in the carrier, the needle/nozzle will quickly wear. There are many things which can cause SUs to be troublesome. Most prominent, from my experience, is throttle shaft leakage. If you really want carbs done right, send them to (again, in alphabetical order order): Keith Olan Z-Therapy Neither is inexpensive, but both have the reputation of producing rebuilt SUs which will be correct in all aspects. If the carbs and ignition are right, presuming the engine itself has no significant issues, the car will be far more user-friendly than one which has not had such attention. I have no experience with Keith -- going by multiple accolades from others. I do have personal experience with Z-Therapy.

The inside piston will have the bleed screw up (or a deep threaded hole for the bleed screw and ball) the outside piston deep hole will face down. Your lines will tell you the correct location if you get lost, (deep holes for bubble flare or bleeder screw other holes take inverted flare) it doesn't matter the piston location as long as you have them turned right to accept the lines. Also I think the needle is is to keep the piston from returning all the way as the brake pads wear, someone else may know this for sure.

They were working well when pulled. I'll sell them for $50 per piston or $100 per assembly. The piston hanger has been modified so that it will slip under 13" wheels. The bolt holes were slotted so that the assembly will slide closer to the hub. I also have the rotors which were turned down so that the calipers could slide in farther. I'll sell the rotors for $100 for the pair. They will work nicely if you are going to do the Volvo caliper swap. I also have a 200SX parts car. The rear disc brakes are a popular swap into roadsters. I'll sell the rear brakes for $100. Bring a trailer and that $100 gets you the rest of the car if you want it.

Unless you want to try millng down the hinges which wouldn't be a good idea. Have you put the hood on the car to check that the fenders are aligned to each other? If you're adjusting the fender by only going by the upper portion just above the door and right below the windshield frame/pillar, you may be inadvertently exacerbating the problem. Look at the bolts in the door opening, and make sure you at least CENTER the bolts within the fender's mounting holes. It also wouldn't hurt to check that the support is in fact straight to the body and the fender. 2 cents E ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Harvey" Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 3:59 AM Subject: [Roadsters] Fender/Door Adjustment > Group, > > ...snip....

References: Message-ID: Peter, I presume this is a 1600. 1600s had two clips, secured by oil pan bolts, which served as lower guides for rigid metal carburetor overflow lines. These lines ensured that any overflow was directed away from hot engine components. I have never seen a car with these lines installed -- the cars I have seen have had the metal lines replaced with rubber fuel hose or Tygon tubing. As long as you direct the overflows away from the motor, you're fine. I run my (fuel line) overflows out into the fender well through the little brace which supports the inner fender. I don't think 2000s had rigid lines, rather they had a 90 degree elbow which ended near the bottom of the float bowls, and flexible lines beyond that point.

That pic didn't come thru on ebay on my computer, hence why I didn't see it. Thanks though for the clarification. My vin number was never stamped anywhere on my frame either. Just the plate. I had the entire frame sandblasted and powder coated, and checked it pretty thoroughly. At this point though, if it was there, it's buried now under a thick powdercoat!
