Any ideas on what might cause my tachometer to start swinging wildly?  Cable?
I did disconnect the cable at the distributor and the cable seemed to spin
freely in the housing.  I have had many years of trouble free operation until
recently.

Use grease.

"Service Information

The following hints on installation are important:

    * Cable routing should be smooth. Minimum radius should be 6".
    * Ensure that sharp bends and kinks are avoided, especially at
supporting clips.
    * Ensure that connecting nuts are securely tightened by hand (not
spanner or pliers).
    * Cables should be lubricated every 10,000 kilometers. Withdraw inner
cable and smear lightly with Shell Alvania 2 or 	equivalent.
    * Avoid excess grease and do not use oil.
      The performance of a speedometer and the service life of the
speedomoter cable depends on correct installation and 	maintenance."

I'd recommend a light grease -- like Siloo white lube -- if you use grease. 
Tach and speedometer cables shouldn't require more than a graphite-based 
cable lube, though.

Pull the cable from the car to lubricate it if you use a lube with a liquid 
base.  I can tell you that the cable will come out of the sheath, something 
I learned when I pulled the engine from my '67-1/2 2000 last summer -- and 
remembered to disconnect everything else.  (The tach cable appears to be 
none the worse for the incident.)

Thanks, all.  I'll give lubing a try.  I can say quite confidently that it has
not been lubed according to these guidelines.

How about using a Subject line? Also be nice to know what the piston is

Hello Everyone!
 
Believe it or not it is not to early to start thinking about Solvang 2010. We
plan to have the web site up and running with 2010 information on or about
Feburary 1st and begin with registrations at that time. There are a few
changes this year that I need to let everyone know about. 1st, the City of
Solvang has noticed a "vendor" presence at our event. If you would like to
sell or vend anything this year there will be a $50 vendor fee payable the day
of the show. Sorry :(  That is the biggest change and I need to get that
message out ASAP,  the other changes are small and mostly administrtaive in
nature anyway and will be liste don the web site.
 
Soooooo....if you are interested in donating or being a sponsor for the show,
please get a hold of us so that we can get you on the website and talk about
your involvment. It is easier to know early if your going to want to be listed
on our sponsor page so we can integrate your logo info easier.
 
We are still looking for that magical 100 car year! Lets make it happen this

Subject: [Roadsters] The Great Reckoning
Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP16FF67333298A1EFE01053AA720@phx.gbl>

This is a definitive read about the parallel lives of Nissan and Ford.  
Written by famous journalist David Halberstam. In the first chapter,  
the reckoning details a government insider who goes to Detroit to warn  
the moronic industrialists of the Asian threat developing threatening  
Detroit's future. Leaders either refused to give him an audience, or  
politely showed him the door. The rest of the book alternates btween  
the goings-on of both companies beginning from before WWII when the  
American quality control guru Fred Taylor went to Japan after no one  
else in Dtroit wd listen to him. He remained there in safety during  
and after the war.
If like the old Datsuns and enjoy a good book I highly recommend you  
read this great industrial history filled with personalities like Mr K  
and Henry Ford II. Get this gem used on the web. I got my hardcover  
for $2. Printed in 1985, when the Japs finally let go of import  
restrictions. My dad spent zero on advertising until 1977, always  
short of inventory until the bond market collapse in 1979. 1980 the  
little dealership made zero when interest rates went to 20%

I bought calipers from one of the vendors. As far as I can remember all four boxes have the same part numbers on them. Since I plan on rebuilding the front brakes (and possibly front suspension) this spring, I want to make sure I have the correct calipers.

My part manual is at home now--I figured it was not proper reading at work--so I cannot look right now. Can someone please verify whether or not the inner and outer calipers are different part numbers? Are they at all interchangeable?

Thanks!!

  I thought NSU, Auto Union, and DKW (owned a DKW 750 Junior a long time
ago), joined together to form Audi.  Or maybe Audi swallowed up NSU when the
warranty claims for the rotary got to be too much to handle.

The inside caliper is slightly different than the outside caliper, so
there's two part numbers. From memory, one ends in '0' and the
other ends in '1'.

Audi, Horch, Wanderer and DKW merged in the early 30s to form Auto Union, 
and Auto Union acquired NSU in the late 60s. BTW, from the mid 50s to the 
mid 60s Auto Union was owned by Mercedes and then sold to VW, who over time 
dropped all the lines except Audi.

Thanks. It is not really a good thing for me to spend much (if any) time surfing the web (looking for part numbers) so I would have had to wait until I got home to look in my manuals. And I really didn't want to wait that long. 

Impatient in snowy WI.

NSU was German.  Mazda, not Nissan, licensed the rotary technology from NSU,
improved the rotor seals, and licensed the improved seal design back to NSU. 
There were some strange collaborations going on bewteen the Germand and the
Japanese in that time frame, though, so Nissan may have had something to do
with the NSU from a design standpoint.

I loved my '73 RX-2 sedan.  Drove it
almost 10 years and 90,000 miles without engine trouble.  Used a quart of oil
avery 350 miles towards end-of-ownership, as opposed to a quart every 1,200 -
1,500 which was the design value.  What a screamer.  When the vacuum-operated
secondaries on that big 4-barrel started to open around 3500 rpm, it just took
off.  When Mazda brought out the RX-7, they had de-tuned the engine to improve
fuel economy, so the RX-7 developed 100 HP compared to the 125 HP for the
RX-2s and RX-3s.

Back in 1973, I drove the RX-2 from Texas A&M (College
Station) to Houston at about 3 AM via a deserted FM (Farm to Market) road,
about 100 miles.  Did it in an hour, and we stopped for coffee.  Had the
speedometer on 115 all the way, and saw only one car going the opposite
direction.  The speedo read to 135, and I think it might have made it, but 120
was all I ever had the guts for.  Tires probably weren't rated for that speed,
but I was only 26, and therefore immortal, at the time.

  Way back then, we had a RX3 and an RX4.  The RX3 lasted about 27,000 miles.  The dealer offered us a new set of seals, but refused to rebuild/replace the motor, until we threatened to sue.  The RX4 was sold before it hit the magic 30,000 mile warranty end.
  But both were fun to drive. I don't think mom was ever satisfied with another car after the RX4.  She said they were all to slow!  I test drove a RX7 back when you had to put money down to get on the waiting list for one.  I was ready to trade in the wife's Maverick until she asked where the baby's seat would go!  8.5 months later, our son was born.  Had to wait another 16 years to get a 2 seater.

During college I worked at an aftermarket auto shop and did all of the
cruise control installations. We had a deal with the local Mazda dealer and
installed a special push button cruise on all of their new RX-7's. Most
people wanted the cruise to kick in at 30 mph which meant that it would cut
out at 90mph. Of course I would have to "Test Drive" each car after the
installation to insure that the cruise was functioning correctly. Those
little rotary motors screamed. I got pulled over a half dozen times on the
freeway during testing but never got a ticket, just a warning. Fond
memories.

  hi steve, ive rebuilt quite a few 2 liter U-20 eng. here are some of the
things i do. if you have a new cam and/or followers, dont let

 the eng. idle much for the first hour. keep the idle speed above

1500-1800 rpm. this helps break in the cam, and followers.

  when you first drive the car, dont run up to max. rpms(6000).  i   usually
try to drive with varying rpm, keeping the eng. between  2000-4000 rpms. dont
lug the eng.(ever!), and dont scream the

eng.(at least until 500 miles are past).

 another thing i do is, run the eng. rpm up to say,4000 rpm, in 2nd, and let
off the gas and let the eng. back down(no brakes) to about 2000 rpm.do this
quite a few times. this helps seat the rings.

  after 1,000 miles, i usually check/ adjust, the valves, and let

the eng. cool, and re torque the head bolts. i break each head

bolt loose,(just a little), and bring it back to proper torque

in one motion. also, at 1,000 miles, do the first oil chg.

  i usually start the motor with 10w-30 oil, and for the 3rd

oil chg., i put 20w-50 castrol, or 15-50 synthetic.

 just my experience, bob smith, ohio

well, all,  here is my rotary story: in 1969, right after i got my

 2000, i pulled up next to a little coupe at a traffic light. i noticed

as i came up, that it was a mazda, and it had R100 on the body.

as we waited for the light to change, he kept reving the eng. i

guessed(correctly) that he wanted to race. so, when the light

turned , we both took off, i wound, 6,000 in first, 6,000 in 2nd;

 i looked over, and he was still there, about a half a car

back. that was when i noticed, that he was just shifting for the

first time(to 2nd.) it sounded like he was turning 10,000 rpm.

 i did beat him, as i hit 3rd, but i have never forgotten how

that little R100 coupe screamed.
 ah, those were the days,  bob smith

Given that there are torque values for assembling the front suspension - there
appears to be more than that - thus these questions



How 'firm' 'tight' is thefront suspension supposed to be - i.e. fully greased
for both upper and lower, how 'easy' is it supposed to be to rotate the
spindle within the bearings - shouold they be 'tight', i.e. almost impossible
to turn by hand  or otherwise.

Is there any measurement that dictates the amount of 'tightness ' that is
appropriate.

Is in Alabama. Two of my junkers have VG front fenders. I will sell anybody
needs it the whole body, front clip or whatever for $300 or fenders loose for
$200/ea. Also one has a virgin rear panel. Y'all have responded real well to
'parts is parts'. I had inquiries for TS switch, ball joints, top frames,
pulley, inside door handles, ig switch and so on. Please understand I don't
care about the money, but must charge the going rate for scarce items to make
sure people put them to work on their cars. Like no free puppies, they at
least have to have their shots etc and be paid for. I have an 'old' original
set of Solexes still on a blown engine, a brand new Solex manifold, and SSS
L16-L18 SU intake manifold, 510 distributor...I guess no one needs any heads.
I have complete R-16 powertrains 5-main $500/ea and and.....clevis pins on
handbrake make good door stay pins, removeable too 1/4"

Message-ID: <29256384.1263575181769.JavaMail.root@elwamui-hybrid.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

All,

Finally got my engine put back together and running (there was a major misstep along the way which is too embarrasing to relay here in any detail -- suffice to say I learned a valuable lesson about interference valves)

At any rate, I have a bit of a franken-car that was various people's project before finally coming to me.  Because of this history, I am always trying to figure out which parts are original, and which parts were someone's "clever" idea.  

When I put my engine back together I noticed that at top dead center the pistons can completely flush with the top of the block.  I seem to remember that the engine I built for my old Toyota Tercel had a little more clearance -- but my memory could be wrong.  Is this spec?  And normal?  Or has someone put in longer rods?

I took my heater out to replace the fan resistor in it. All of the foam seals
have dried up and disincarnated. Has anyone replaced these? Can I use the gray
or black window seal material? There is a material around the heater core  it
looks like felt is it?

Dana,

1.  I have used 1/4-inch thick/1/2-inch wide, adhesive-backed foam household 
window weatherstrip, trimmed as necessary to fit to replace the degraded 
original material.  The only purpose of this material is to prevent hot air 
from bypassing the defroster vents when the latter are in use.  Bypass 
leakage to the passenger compartment will not be a problem if the heater 
control valve is closed.

2.  It is felt or felt-like cloth.  Doesn't really matter.  It just prevents 
airflow from bypassing the heater core.

I am trying to lighten my load. I have a complete beginnings of a

U20 with Norris cam, lightened flywheel, polished intake and ported  
head,  balanced crank, Solex carbs etc
Etc, 5 speed, radiator, driveshaft, rear mount, new bearings, pistons,  
xtra short blocks and heads everything u need to rebuild this hi-per  
street/autocrosser. This set-up won a best time of day in Miami  
against even open wheel cars in the early 80's. I can open the engine  
and see what is seized so you know. All you need to convert from r16  
to a fast u20 with minimum expense plus your energies. $1000 takes a  
load of it from my shop to yours. Let me know by texting

1.  Click on the link at the bottom of this message, the 
mailman/listinfo one.

2.  In the subscriber section, enter your email address and list 
password.

3.  Realize that you should have kept a copy of the monthly reminder with
   your list password.

4.  Delete your address from the first box and enter it into the box labeled
  'Unsubscribe or Edit options" and click on the button.

5.  Click on the password reminder button.

6.  When the reminder message arrives, click on the link, pasting in
   your newly arrived password.

7.  Go down to the 'Mail Delivery' section of the subscription options.

8.  Click on the 'disabled' button.

9.  Go down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Submit my changes'

10.  Getting mail flowing again is the same procedure, except obviously
     you would click on the 'enable' button.


On a side note, this is a handy procedure if you use more than one email
address.  You can subscribe, say, both your home address and your work
address, and set only one of them to enable.  Having the other address
subscribed will keep messages you send from that address from getting
bounced as non-member spam, but you won't get multiple copies of each
list message.

Message-ID: <SNT126-W54BC088C4D01C0C6389A1AAA640@phx.gbl>

A more accurate list of these would be: One copy of everything to convert an
R16 to U20 with a broken/seized hi-performance engine, and other spares of
short blocks, heads and cranks.



The seized engine has not been diagnosed and could be catastrophic, and has
the Solexes and transmission attached and even the throttle cable. It has been
sitting over 15 years. You may be able to rebuild something out of 3 blocks
and 4 cranks and an extra head. The engine has a Norris cam and the springs
are shimmed probably .050, the flywheel has been lightened by a number of
pounds, and the head and intake has had a bunch of hours of port smoothing and
matching etc and balanced. The broken engine would be good to have just to
look at to duplicate and use a few parts from. I will keep the new pistons and
bearing sets I have as who knows what sizes you would need.



I can offer it up different ways for different $: engines/blocks/heads without
hi-per parts, SU carbs instead w or w/o trans, w or w/o 1600 to 2000
conversion parts.



Separately, I have the main and rod bearing sets I would sell for 60% less
than new, I would have to organize them and record the sizes. I have to look
up what size pistons I have to know what they might be worth etc.



I guess y'all could make offers with your list of what I have, and I should go
out and spend an hour taking the seized engine down enuf to see what ails it
over the next few days. Trying to clean up my roadster salvage and haul off 4
picked-over corpses....

with the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club, and he earned fourth place
his class for the 2009 season. Subaru STI "Pink" springs, STI Struts,
alloy wheels, and a variety of alignment strategies helped him get
there.
Dual-purpose daily drivers are at the heart of the GRM universe, so
we're sending Josh a GRM sticker pack for being in the Spotlight.

Anyone on the List know anything about the 1600 race car this guy in San Jose
is describing?  Seems someone on the list knows about every roadster ever
built.



Thanks.

Dear Sir;

    I found this email address on your website of the " Datsun Roadster Book".
I hope you can help me in researching a 1968? SPL311 1600 race car that I
have.   I live in San Jose, California.  About 1972 myself and two of my
friends attempted to break into the SCCA road racing bit.  Around 1974 one of
these friends  purchased this specific datsun roadster.  The seller told my
friend that it was an ex- factory car, pulled of the line, had never seen the
street, etc etc.... Now I had two years experience trying to turn street cars
into race cars and knew how involved and difficult it was.  When I looked at
the roadster and it's suspension setup there was a BIG difference in how I
could try to " race"  build a car, and how this one was done.  This looked
like something that  one of our local race shops would produce.  ( Huffaker
Engineering and Frey racing Enterprises were local celebraties  in the SCCA
circuit)  Very simple and looked like it would work on the track.  Anyway we
set up the car and eventually my buddy took it to his only regional race at
Laguna Seca in Monterey.  Now he was a good driver,, but I couldn't believe
what he did to the field of cars as well as the cars that were in the next
class level.  ( If memory serves me right he was running in F production,
maybe G and running with two other production classes.) The previous owner had
told us to keep the TR4 carbs on it ( illegal we found out later) which we did
and this thing was running and hugging the turns like it was born on that
track. It was smoking everybody.  At the time this led me to believe that this
was a special car.  My buddy DNF'd as he got alittle to bold and broke the
steering box when he slid into the infield while taking a turn too hot.  That
is the last time the car has run and it still sits with me today.  Now I can
tell you alot more if you need specifics about the car,  ( the go fast goodies
out of the factory race parts sections, the minilites,  goodyear bluestreak
wet tires etc. etc. if you need that info.   )
     What I am specifically looking for is for you to direct me to records,
websites, books etc. that I can research to find out the history of this car
or if it is just a well built home job.  I am thinking about getting into
vintage racing and this has been bugging me for quite some time.  Anyhelp
youcan give me would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks Much

Sincerely Jaime Saldivar.

I was just looking at that this morning.  I never knew he did rally cars like
that.  I had seen the 240s and 260s but not the 510s.  HS&EC has been putting
a lot of Datsuns in lately.  I LOVE IT!  I have been a member since the
beginning.  It is the only magazine that I have read every issue cover to
cover.  I highly reccommend it if you don't already subscribe.

Message-ID: <765956.43325.qm@web34308.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hey Everyone -- If any of you Phoenix Datsun guys don't know, there will be a
Datsun Swap Meet this Saturday. I've posted the info below. It is sponsored by
the new Datsun club that was organized in the past few months. Sounds like
it's going to be pretty fun!!!
 
Matthew...
_________________________________________________________________________
 
Just a reminder that the Datsun swap meet is this upcoming Saturday, January
23rd. Being held at:

Gerber Collision and Glass
4825 w Glendale ave
Glendale Az 85301

The festivities will be from around 7am till around 3pm. Should be a heck of a
lot of fun, and probably the biggest Datsun event Phoenix has ever seen.
There's burgers, dogs, and sodas/waters for lunch, with Datsun shaped cookies
for desert. Still expecting more than a couple people from out of state too!

If any of you have a Datsun or *early* Nissan vehicles for sale, bring it
down, we should have plenty of room.

Have a friend who is working on restoring a racing roadster. He is looking for a comp fly wheel. Wondering if anyone has one for sale or knows of any companies that sell these?

Gary,



IIRC, aren't comp flywheels simply machined from originals?  Using the
templates from Bob Sharp's book and the Sheeler (again,iirc) books, the
suggested pattern for machining and lightening is included.  Is there such a
part as a specific comp flywheel?

  Bob Sharp's book gives some instructions on how to cut down a stock steel
flywheel, but NISMO and several others did offer aluminum race flywheels.
We have them in both cars at Sloan Racing, but none extra to part with.  Got
one off ebay a few years ago so keep a watch there.

Tilton offered an aluminum unit back in the day. I don't know if Les or any
of the other usual suspects still have them available. I've got a couple of
new 200mm 5 bolt L-series Tilton units on the shelf waiting patiently for me
to get off my duff and put a 510 together. I'm glad I bought them, and a
bunch of other stuff in the early '90s before they went NLA and prices went
nuts. Should have bought more. Hindsight and all that...!

Machining the steel flywheel was one method of lightening the original
flywheel but NISMO offered (and still may) an aluminum flywheel made by
Tilton.  It weighs 10 pounds and has a steel insert.

Gary,



IIRC, aren't comp flywheels
simply machined from originals?  Using the
templates from Bob Sharp's book and
the Sheeler (again,iirc) books, the
suggested pattern for machining and
lightening is included.  Is there such a
part as a specific comp flywheel?

Here's a link to flywheel lightening by these folks. I haven't tried them 
and don't know anyone who has, but I was considering sending in a spare 
flywheel I have laying around to someday try in my stroker.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good weight just for spirited street 
driving, (no track use)?

I'm running a lightened steel flywheel in my car.  It's about 16 lbs.  Cut
down from the stock U20's 22.5 lbs.  No problems at all on the street.

Thanks for your info on that, Brian.
I think that's about the weight some stroker owners are using, and if I 
remember correctly, some of the racers are as low as 10 or 11 lbs.

I'm wondering........would there be any interest in conducting a poll on 
who's using one, the weight, what kind of use, street, track, or both, and 
other comments?
Just a thought....

Hey Craig, I'm not a potential buyer unfortunately, but I was just struck by
your email, mostly by the "I'm just not having fun anymore."  I'm really sorry
to hear that you feel your Roadster time has come to an end, as clearly it has
been a major passion of yours for a very long time, and thanks to you a number
of very important or interesting cars have been saved.  I'm not trying to talk
you out of it, but I hope that, as you restructure your life, you will find
time for a Roadster and some of the joys this particular little car can bring.
I know that that existed within you sometime in the past (witness your
collection!) but that some of the negatives of such an endevor have darkened
your passion for the cars.  I hope you are able, after a time, to relight that
interest in a way that does bring you joy, cause I know I personally will
never let go of my Roadster until the day I die... it represents that much of
a "defining moment" in my life.  May you find yours again.

Mates,

I'm not happy with how much slop my upper chain tensioner has at low idle.  I know that some people put spacers on the shaft of the tensioner so to take up some of this slop.  Two questions:

1) What do people do about low idle tensioner slop?  
2) Does anyone know what the diameter of that shaft is?
3) What materials work well as spacers (oil/heat resistant) and soft enough that they won't damage the tensioner?

I used a plastic wire tie, they come in different widths and thicknesses in
relation to your slop. The great plus is that you don't have to take the
tensioner out! If they wear out, oh well theyr'e plastic!

Hi

Have a look at Gordons Glascow's website;

There is a good description and pictures of using spacers for  the upper
tensioner.

I am switching out the motor and wondering what torque limits the 1500 -
1600 or 2000 rear end can handle?  Haven't seen any questions in this arena,
so looking for insight.  I currently am working on a 1964 Fairlady and
wondering if the rear can handle some strong ft. pounds of torque?  Numbers?

Are you asking about the diff or axles?
I think 200 ft-lbs is about the limit for constant abuse.
I'm guessing this is what the race cars put out, but they can also  
afford stronger(new) axles and a myriad of diffs :)
I'd also be concerned with the torque rod and it's mounting.

The biggest problem is the axles. The differentials are generally  
fine and I note they had a second life as the centre differentials in  
Subaru WR-Xs until recently.

As you approach 200hp and increased torque you run into a design flaw  
with the standard axles. They tend to snap at a point where they  
narrow. This situation s made worse by using sticky "R-comp" tyres.  
Billet axles or ones adapted from other cars can fix the problem but  
not cheap.

So many high hp cars in Australia have snapped axles that it is  
getting impossible to find standard replacements. Local roadster  
expert Lou Mondello has a solution using shirtened axles from a local  
nissan sedan. He has to use the side gears from that cars diff for  
the correct spline. This mod also allows the use of 240Z brake drums  
as the flange is not hubcentric.

Hey Gary,

I am not sure how much power and or torque you plan on putting through the
rear end.

The axles seem to be the weak link. Over 200 WHP has been feed through the
rear end

on many occasions. One other thing you might think of is how much grip you
have in your tires. The failures I have heard of are when using wide race
rubber with high cornering loads. The other failures are the tail shafts due
to high speed vibrations, and drivelines when using rocket boxes with
clutchless shifting.

This question seems to come up periodically both here and in the
311s.orgforum. Here's my read on the situation.If you're doing a swap
that's going
to offer much more torque and power than a well built U-20 have Currie
Enterprises, Moser or some other vendor build you a bullet proof rear axle.
IRRC, turnkey pricing was around $1500.

Think about it. Any of these guys can build the axles and housing to any
width, tack on or fab new spring pads, shock mounts, etc. It's not a complex
setup to build. Go with a Ford 9 inch R&P assembly and you have a huge
assortment of ratios and a number of limited slip or locker assemblies in
a quick and easy to change third member. I'd guess for far less than finding
an OEM LSD assembly, gears, bearings etc, to rebuild the stock axles to
stock specs, you could have a custom setup in any ratio (and probably a
"spare" third member with another ratio) including a set of Will Wood discs
brakes if you want that'll handle anything you stuff into the engine bay,
short of maybe a Rolls Royce/Merlin. :>)

I blew the rear out with a hot u20. It ripped several teeth off the r&p. I was running 11" slicks at the time. You can probably run on any street tires you want without worry. I sold my limited slip diff and had enough money for a narrowed rx7 rear end with moser axles. It should handle 450 hp and be pretty cheap to fix if necessary.

I've got a Ford 8.8 LSD axle in our '66 with a 4.3 Chevy V6 engine that's 
mildly built (approx 250HP). A 9" would be overkill and a bunch of extra, 
uneeded weight IMHO.

There's a printable sketch on my website that has all the dimensions I gave 
to a reputed local shop to rework a stock Mustang housing so it would bolt 
right in to the Roadster.

I cut off all the mustang mounting brackets and did some grinding to give 
him a smooth housing to cut down.   He did the narrowing, added new perches, 
and set up the 3:73 ring & pinion for around $700 IIRC.  The used axle I got 
for somewhere around $100.

Direct to the page on the axle is 5-18-03 Axle, Engine,Tranny
Or you can go to the main page and use the links in the left frame to peruse 
to whole project.
http://www.mildevco.net/chevypowereddatsuns/

I had Moser shorten and respline my stock  Mustang axles.  I also had them 
redrill for the lug bolt pattern, and press in new studs for $200 or so.
http://www.moserengineering.com/all-moser-order-forms-and-instructions.html

So I've got about $1000 in Ford 8.8LSD with all new bearing, clutches, truck 
S-spring, etc. with me doing some of the grunt work.

hi everyone

CDM sells upgraded axles, with either the roadster or truck splines.  i'm pretty sure they're cheaper than $1500, if memory serves.

Mark,

Understand that the 9 inch would probably be overkill. My basic point was
that there realistic and cheaper alternatives to the OEM bits. In the 510
world we're rapidly gettting to the point where a lot of parts are NLA.
Something that we've dealt with on roadsters for some time. As soon as we
get moved and get our shop built (sometime this summer) I'm going to start
looking for a nice 280Z that I can restify. At least body parts and such are
still available through Black Dragon and other sources.

Time to clean out the garage once and for all...  I want to get rid of 
almost everything.

I've got a TON of parts for these cars.

I've got a very nice 1966 Datsun Fairlady Roadster tub I'd like to sell 
as a whole unit.  The rear quarter panels are in really nice condition.  
>From the looks of it, this car has never been in an accident.  In 
retrospect, I wish I had used THIS tub when I did my rebuild, but I 
didn't...

Front fenders are also good too.

If no one wants the tub, I'm going to cut it up and sell off the parts 
separately, and junk whatever remains.  Like I said, I hate to do that, 
but it's time to clean house...

Also have the following items:

Doors.  two from a 1966, and a pair from 1967.5
Hoods.  One has a hole cut in it to fit a larger motor. 

Clear Windsheild.  No cracks, dings, etc.  very good condition.

TONS of odds and ends, including brake components, suspension parts, 
steering components, interior, exterior, glass, etc, etc, etc. 

I'm not looking for vendor prices, but I'm not giving this stuff away 
either. 

I do NOT have 5 speeds, U-20 motors, chrome, mirrors, or emblems.

Feel free to write regarding anything you're looking for.

Windsheild is a SHORT one, from a 1966 model, and is CLEAR.

Subject: [Roadsters] Bake pedal - Roadster or Z-car needed
Message-ID: <6BBD919DADE646C69464936F59DFCB2A@p53ghzduo>

All,

I'm in need of a brake pedal - not the rubber but the pedal arm itself from
either a Roadster or a Z-car.  Pivot bolt and nut would be good too.

My son and I are building an off-road buggy from a wrecked quad ATV.  I'm
planning on using an NOS 5/8" bore Nabco dual-master cylinder I had laying
around to plumb to the brakes off the quad.  Not sure what year/model it came
off of, but the clevis matches the one on my Z so I know it will work with
either pedal and it would save me from having to cut one out of thick stock.

I know several on the list have bunches of parts/ and or parts cars.  Any
chance anyone would have a pedal arm they'd part with?
Plz email off-list if you have one.

Thanks!

Several kind listers responded so the field buggy has its brake pedal on the 
way....
Thanks to all!

These Datsun 2000's sold quite well here in Norway in the late 60's.
The early versions had the J20 engine. The same type found in the
411's and 520 pickups, but with 2 extra cylinders. The later versions
had the L20A engine. In other markets they also came with the H20 and
L24 engines.

Heres some pictures of the pre facelift version:

  Take a look at http://www.earlydatsun.com/cedric.html for more history of
the Cedric Datsun.

  Love that dash board and gauge cluster.  Looks like a column manual shift?

I had a mid 60's Cedric when I was in Japan when I was in the military 
(69-71). I don't remember whether it was a 4 or a 6 for sure, but I 
think it was a 4. Nice car. Rather large in comparison to most of the 
others on the road.

Peace,
Pat

Hello All!
 
Well, I have been getting many e-mails as to when the Solvang Car show is...I
am feverishly working to get the web site up for 2010..and I appreciate the
patience! So, that being said, the Solvang Show will be once again on the last
full weekend of April. This year that will be Friday April 23rd and The actual
Show being on Saturday, April 24.
 
I have been conversing with Chris Breyer who has some great thoughts on this
years event, so we will get those implemented as well.
 
Yesterday, I finally yanked my 3 main R-16 engine and after much thought have
decided to go old school with a Stroker over a more modern KA or SRDET
deal..Soooo.the goal is getting it done before Solvang....big task. I looked
at it yesterday and the "oh my God, what did I do"  feelinfg came rushing up
my spine. Well, don't have a choice now, so I will spend today dealing with
the harness and looking at how I am going to clean up that gross engine bay of
mine. Solvang will be here before ya' know it!

With all the Mitty buzz these days, it's possible that West Coast Datsunheads also could get their turn. Along with a management and name change for the Monterey Historics, selection policy is changing as well -- and this year's event includes a Trans Am race group:
