Hi folks,
very bored ATM.
Found 2 back issues of the DSRCV ROADSTER Magazine tucked away in my 
"system".
I have scanned them into .pdf files and posted them on the RapidShare 
site for your viewing pleasure.
RapidShare <http://rapidshare.com/#%21linklist%7CDM6PLW%7C%7C%7C>
There are now #91 and #92 as well as the original posting, #93.
There is a .jpg file showing the cover of each edition so you can pick 
and choose as required
If you ask me nicely I'll scan future issues for you as well:-*
If the quality is dubious admire the quantity :-)

Regards,
Graeme Suckling

So,  Let me tell you about solexes and Weber's.  They are absolutely great at
the altitude you tune them for.  But for driving at different altitudes they
suck.  When I had them on my car and well tuned there was nothing better than
the roar.  But when I hit the mountains I had to shift to second and sometimes
first to get up a steep grade.  Su/s compensate for that and give a much
better driving car.  Don't get me wrong/  I loved the solexes, but they sucked
when taking a fun run in the mountains.

You mean you don't carry a complete set of jets and an O2 monitor with you 
on such excursions?  Well, there's the problem!  ;-)

Not only will he set up the carbs for you, but he will do it while 
you're driving! I don't see how he can fit under the hood and work!

Hi All,
I'm putting the suspension together on my '68 2L and need help with what parts
s/be what color.  I checked 311.org but found only body colors.  Is everything
basic black except for the calipers and brake lines?  As you can imagine mine
was covered in years of grease and dirt.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

As best as I can tell - everything was black including the calipers - hoowever
i painted the dust covers and the calipers red - just seemed appropriate and
colorful - FWIW - caliper to caliper brake lines I painted black and of course
the main brake lines were rubber (although I had stainless ones built),
polished the junction box back to the brass. I decided against PINK because I
am color blind and didb't want to make a mistake.

Since Datsun is the featured marque at Watkins Glen this year I guess it is
finally time to repaint the Silvia.  Some of you may remember this car from
The Glen, Mid Ohio, or Road Atlanta. For those of you who don"t know what I am
talking about, the Silvia was a coupe body that Nssan built on the roadster
frame. To do it right I need to find new rubber for the glass, and I am not
having any luck. I've got the part numbers from the '65 parts manual, but of
course they are not in the computer at my local dealer. If anyone has a source
for old Datsun stuff, please let me know.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Given the fact that U20 Solex equipped cars never came with vac advance, is capping off the vac advance on a SU non smog curved dist the same as having a Solex one that comes without it? Reason I ask is I am running Quad Mikuni MC on my car and have about 36 degrees all in by about 3k rpm w/capped off line. Thanks, Roaster guys and gals

Yes, that will accomplish the same thing.  When I built the EI
distributors for 
Solex cars, I locked the breaker assembly with a screw to
prevent relative 
movement between the upper and lower plates.  But the vacuum
controller, if left 
in place, should do the same thing.  The centrifugal
advance is the same for SU 
and Solex dizzies.  You're good to go as is.  Or
if you wanted to remove the 
vacuum controller, you could take it apart and
convert it to a Solex dizzy.  
Email me for details of that if you wish.

o;?I am considering turning the little reflectors into backup lights using
LEDbs.  I have a friend who makes LED lights of different kinds, so the
engineering part is pretty easy!

I know originally they had this square light down below the bumper, but Ibve
always thought that strange, and my car didnbt come with it (or a lot of
other things).

does anyone know hard hard it is to remove the red reflector?  whatbs
holding it?

any info around on this?

thanks!

The whole reflector, including the chrome backing comes off by removing 
a nut inside the trunk. If you want to take just the reflector off. but 
keep the chrome part, you can either remove the whole unit, then release 
the spring tabs that hold the reflector on, or you can just pry the 
reflector off while the chrome piece is still in the car.

BTW, those reflectors are hard to find, they are NLA as a full chrome & 
reflector. Someone on the list may want the parts that you take off.

I used to have a part number for the reflector without the chrome part, 
but I haven't seen in in years. I'll have to look for it. I do remember 
that the box that the reflector came in said it contained a REFRECTOR!

Peace,
Pat

Oh, one other thing. If you remove the reflectors, no matter how small 
they are, they are the only reflectors on the back of your car, so you 
may want to put some other type of reflective material back there.

o;?let me clarify b it is just one little nut that holds the reflector on.
I am wondering about removing the red reflector from the chrome body so that I
can use the chrome body for a backup light.

Just as a tiny nag, the reflectors are a safety feature. I can think of
worst-case scenarios where removing mandated safety equipment
may get the attention of the authorities and/or your insurance
agent. Didn't someone (in Ohio?) have problems passing
inspection because of malfunctioning windscreen squirters?

For a potent backup light, use a square driving light mounted in
the stock location :-)

  While Ohio doesn't have mandatory inspections, any State Trooper can find
a reason to pull you over and perform a safety check of your vehicle.
Thankfully I've never been pulled over for one, ....yet!

I would have thought that the little reflectors would be too high on the car
to throw much of a light behind you regardless of the power of the LED. FWIW

Dave,

I'm wuth John.  I believe a lamp mounted under the bumper (attaches to the 
frame) will be more effective, light-wise), and you keep the reflectors. 
(Heaven forbid your taillights should go out and some yokel rear-ends you 
because he/she didn't see you.)

My '66 originally came with one back-up light, but I added a second, because 
I liked the look.  I think I have a couple with mounting brackets which can 
be refurbished.  (Chrome decent, housings rusty but easily salvagable.)  If 
interested, let me know.  They'd be yours for the shipping.

If you're set on pursuing the LED path, the reflector is removable from the 
housing.  Don't recall just how, but take one off the car and you'll figure 
it out.  (I think they are just clipped on to the housings, like Pat said.)

Gary

I have a hard time imagining that your typical gendarme will have any clue 
what OEM stuff was on a nearly 50-year-old car.  OK, maybe in the People's 
Republic of California and other foreign countries like New York and Ohio. 
(Ohio spends WAY too much money on their state police.  Those guys all have 
laser...)

o;?fwiw in texas if you run antique plates you can pretty much drive a
cardboard box.  no inspection, etc, just a valid title and a car thatbs 25
years old.  also you only have to run a back plate; all other registrations
require front and rear.  I drive several cars all over the place and I have
yet to be stopped.  my son got a speeding ticket in my Triumph and the antique
registration was never mentioned.

Another possibility might be 1 or 2 stock fixtures below the bumper with the
new high output led light bulbs available on places like ebay. Use the same
bulb base with a replacement led cluster of 10, 20, 24 led's per base. Led's
should run cooler than the original incandescent. I have not actually tried
this on a roadster but have read about such a mod on Toyota truck forums.
I'd like to see a comparison of lumen and spectrum output.

Dear Friends,

As a frequent trespasser from PA into Ohio over about 12 years --- I 
travel Rt 22 and Rt 250 from Pittsburgh to Canton for working on our 
race cars, and I travel the Ohio Turnpike to Nelsons Ledges for racing 
--- I can assure you that the rookie Ohio troopers will stop a Roadster 
no matter what, just to look under the hood.

Paul knows that I know almost every one in uniform who gets assigned to 
the Tappan Lake "55 MPH" stretch.

At least they are polite and friendly!

Happy New Year to all,

Teddy

Good points, Pat.

Color-matched patches of Scotchlite material work wonders in these 
situations and can supplement the lack of side lights/reflectors on the 
earlier cars.

There are a few halogen backup lights available from companies like KC
HiLiters that can be found out on the Web. Hella used to make one but it
looks like they don't any more. These backup lights usually run about 35W
instead of 55W like the driving lights and are a bit smaller, so more in
scale with the originals.

> I am considering turning the little reflectors into backup lights...

Just as a tiny nag, the reflectors are a safety feature. I can think of
worst-case scenarios where removing mandated safety equipment
may get the attention of the authorities and/or your insurance
agent. Didn't someone (in Ohio?) have problems passing
inspection because of malfunctioning windscreen squirters?

For a potent backup light, use a square driving light mounted in
the stock location :-)

If anyone decides to do something like this (a good idea, IMO) you
probably should use a relay, switching it with the OEM wiring and
running the power direct to the battery with 10 or 12 wire.

Subject: [Roadsters] January Roadstering in Ohio
Message-ID: <60264.d89ca42.3a562a73@aol.com>

Ventured out today in the roadster, a bright sunny day in central Ohio,  
mid-30's temp wise. I didn't see any Ohio Highway Patrol or detect any  laser 
or radar during my drive. From the recent dialog here I made sure my  rear 
reflectors are in place so I couldn't be pulled over for that ( a more  
thorough vehicle safety inspection would show my windshield washer system is  
kaput with a bad pump ).  I get a adrenaline rush driving the 2000 and  briefly 
forgot the cold I've been fighting for a couple days.
 
Happy New Year, Roadster Friends.

Message-ID: <8CD7B369F40BB8F-7A8-2A74B@webmail-stg-d14.sysops.aol.com>

I am pulling out the interior on the '67 and replacing most everything except
the seat covers this winter.  I am interested in your experiences with
different vendors interior parts, especially quality and fit.  For instance,
is Stan's dash better than Les's?  Does one carpet kit work better than
another?   I do plan to POR15 and dynamat the whole floor, is there anything
else I should do while it is stripped out?

o;?hi, all.

the hard part about putting a car together that arrived in boxes is
identifying parts.

this part b I think is a later roadster prop rod?  waaay too short for my
car. I need one for a low windshield 67 b anyone want to trade or sell one?

the sad thing is that I think I had another one, and I think it went to the
paint shop with the car, and Ibm pretty darn sure it didnbt come back.

these parts b Ibm clueless

It's definitely a prop rod, and darned if it doesn't look correct.  I'll 
have to measure mine to let you know if it's a short windshield or tall.

Graeme answered this but the program stripped his picture. Those two pieces 
go on either side of the center console to finish it and blend in the 
shifter plate trim onto the trim pieces these become on the sides of the 
center console.

Hi-
I just wanted to stop in and reintroduce myself.  I have been away from the
list for over 10 years after all of my roadsters but one, were destroyed in a
fire.  Thankfully my parts and the remaining car were stored elsewhere.  After
parking the remaining roadster for several years, I am rejuvenated in my
excitement for these cars.  I trust this is the same, exciting, helpful list I
grew to know and love back in the 90's.

For those who might be tempted, I was informed Solvang regular and SoCal
native 302 V-8 roadster goes on the ebay auction block this Thursday.
Details can be seen at:
http://www.unnfair.com/
(I'd recommend starting with the "specs" sheet option from the list)

Connection to seller?  Absolutely, very biased opinion.  I have been
chasing this car thru the twisties for years, and watching / pitching in
2 cents (adjusted for inflation and my own stupidity) as it has been
sorted out.
The sound of it spooling up coming out of a tight switchback is
something akin to a blast from the trombone section in a Benny Goodman
era big band.    Intoxicating. (even as you are realizing, "I got
spanked on this corner too")
Selling to thin the herd. (aka: make room for new projects, possibly?!)

 Fergus,
On 311 they mentioned some kind of battery tender that can supposedly bring
back quite dead batteries.

  If any of you like the look of those "rare" Empi two piece wheels, I have
a set of four for sale.  Right now they have some old Michelin tires mounted
on them, but I wouldn't drive on them.  They must be 15+ years old by now.
But the wheels are in good shape.  And I have lug nuts and new o-rings that
go with them.  Interested, give me a holler off list.

Fergus,
Are you using an AGM compatible charger?  A standard charger may not
bring it 
back to life.  Optima has a proceedure for bringing back to life
highly 
discharged batteries.  Look on the Support FAQ on their sight.

  I've had these wheels for sale for the last 3 or 4 years.  Now I toss them

  Sorry but they are sold.  And in case any of you are worried, they will
stay on the east coast, barely, and they will stay on a roadster.

I purchased Eric's set of empi wheels several years ago. I believe he upgraded
the car to a very nice set of panasports.

Here is what one of the wheels looked like after some polishing and I
repainted the centers in Gun Metal Grey.

Subject: WTS: SR20 EI Distributor for Carb Applications -SoCal - $300

Bolt-in SR20 distributor for those who want to go with carbs on their
SR20DE. Uses the SR drive gear and adjusting tab, so bolts in like the
stock CAS. Mated to the L-series electronic distributor bowl and guts,
replacement parts are as easy as getting stuff for an L20B EI dizzy.

Distributor has been recurved following JWT's SR20DE ignition profile. 16B0
of mechanical advance, all-in by 5000rpm. Suggested initial timing at 16B0
BTDC. Fully functional vacuum advance.

Very clean inside, all parts/components are in excellent condition. The
easy way to deal with ignition on carb SR applications.

You will need either custom-length spark plug wires, or use L-series spark
plug wires. I will include four SR plug wire boots to seal the wires
against the valve cover.

Add $10 shipping in the US. Add $30 for spark plug wire set and boots.

o;?I am considering using the fog lamp switch on my early 67 for an electric
fan, and wiring higher intensity lights mounted in the fog lamp holes.  my
thought is to put those on the same circuit as the high beams.

Ibm thinking it makes sense to give them their own relay (is that
necessary?) and wire them all the way to the hi/lo switch.  or would it work
to just run them in parallel off the existing headlight relay?  or should I
run their relay off of the headlight relay?

or should I just run these off the headlight relay directly to the driving
lights, and let the hi/lo beams go dark on high?

car has antique plates so inspection etc is not an issue.

You didn't say whether you have stock headlights or not, nor the wattage of
the new, additional lights.

I would keep the new lights switched separately and on their own relay.

Dave,

It all depends on the capacity of the existing relay.  If there is capacity
just add the driving lights to the high beam wire.  The easy way is to install
another relay for the driving lights and wire it to the high beam wire going
to the normal headlight.  That way you'll be sure not to overload anything.

necessary?) and wire them all the way to the hi/lo switch.  or would it work
to just run them in parallel off the existing headlight relay?  or should I
run their relay off of the headlight relay?

or should I just run these off the headlight relay directly to the driving
lights, and let the hi/lo beams go dark on high?

car has antique plates so inspection etc is not an issue.

I'm running a pair of Low wattage fog lamps (35W if memory serves) using the 
standard wiring, but since you're mentioning using a HIGH intensity light, I 
would definitely go with a relay to run the power to them.

I definitely would NOT piggyback them on the existing relay.

As far as your electric fan, why not run it on it's own dedicated thermal 
relay and leave the interior wiring alone?  then use the fog lamp switch as 
it's intended.

45+ year old wiring is bound to have some corrosion in it, don't exacerbate 
the situation by increasing the amperage through it.  The original wiring 
wasn't that hefty for what it is expected to handle, let alone if you up 
it's requirement.

FWIW

I wouldn't disable the hi-beams. If you ever lose the low-beam lights, your
life might depend on switching on the hi-beams.

You might consider modifying the radio console plate to have more holes for
switches. I made my own for my 66, moving the radio position up high, and
moved the heater controls. That enabled me to have a couple extra holes, one
for an auxilliary power port and another for a cut-off switch. You can do a
switch for a fan this way.

I'm a novice about wiring, but it seems a good idea to have a separate relay
switch, with the 12v power source running back to the battery, just to be
safe. The relay can be operated off the fog lamp switch.

SInce Paul got his sold I need to see if I can get mine sodl as well to make
room for other projects.  I have 6 rims one with a cracked flange so really
there are 5 Empi split rims that have been media blasted and one was powder
coated clear to see what it would look like and turned out very nice.  I'm
looking for $350 for the set plus shipping.  They were to go onto the wife's
1600 as I bought Panasports for the 2L.  Her car was sold and kept the rims. 
These are located on the left coast.  Enjoy the ride.

 one of the first

That was the funny part. The original title said "69 Datsun." Seller has

I thought Team.Net folks might want to have a chance to talk

http://www.team.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=16

We'll see if it becomes as popular as some of the
other forums there ;-)  Hey, I try.

Somedays I am tempted to just chuck all the email lists and go
strictly forum format, but there's too many old dogs who prefer
getting the lists in the same manner as they have for the last 20
years or so.

So basically you Cheeseheads out there now have a place
to whine next week when Da Bears get done with the Packers.

Subject: [Roadsters] once again 180 degrees off on the diagnosis!
Message-ID: <FB94582F8C2E4B1D82ABD897C3721E68@CarmelPC>

In October I went on an overnite backroads drive for pre'75 cars, the SoCalTT.
('69 2000, SUs, E-dizzy, non-smogged, all new front suspension)
Car had run fine prior to that, but pulling out of the driveway and on both
days it would just plain lag if you put your foot in it.
Drive like an egg on the pedal, it'd go fine, so I kept pace with the TR6's
and TR-8 (it'd leave me but then break down, and up I'd roll with the tools.
voltmeter got a good workout!)

Because it was so constant and unchanging throughout the day, I had overthunk
myself into thinking I wasn't getting full advance on the dizzy (one of
GBoone's specials),
so cut 1/4" off the vacuum line (just in case the end had hardened) and
checked the timing to start the 2nd morning of the drive, and it was perfect,
but same stumbling all day long, not so much rpm related as "vacuum level", so
I didn't think it was fuel delivery.  (it'd go 75 if you took your time
getting there)

Got home to the garage with the electrical idea stuck in my head, but in
taking a look around decided to "start with the simple and cheap stuff", and
noticed the fuel lines were looking a bit aged, not badly cracking but a bit
aged.

Replaced them all from fuel pump to return line, on the premise that maybe I
was sucking air (the bridge hose between the carbs looked the worst of all)

Hooray!  A "spirited drive" to prove out that she had awaken.  (there is a 2
mile long straight road that bissects a Navy base, so no cross streets, no
intersections, up to 90-coast, back again 2 or 3 times)

Prepping for another 3 day event in March (and the TT again in October).

Happy roadstering,
Fergus O
Next up: (after clean up the garage)
Crossbar welded to rollbar to mount harnesses, finish up center console
upholstery (got this one from Roman Rist, now there's a name I haven;t heard
in years, but proves I am quite a packrat)

Sigh....

A GRIFFIN by definition, commonly has WINGS.
Although a Male Griffin doesn't have wings, it often DOES have Horns and a 
Spiked Tail.but by definition it must have the HEAD, AND TALONS of an EAGLE 
like the female.
"The griffin is a mythical creature, with the head, wings and talons of an 
eagle and the body and hind legs of a lion. ...snip... A male griffin has no 
wings but often has horns and a spiky tail. "
Source: www.heraldryandcrests.com/heraldic_symbols.htm
also: http://www.fleurdelis.com/meanings.htm
But the reference to the male's lack of wings is not noted on the second 
one.


A LION by nature, does NOT have wings, nor does it have a BEAK.

The DATSUN, and PRINCE motor companies merged in the 50's, and to 
commemorate that event, a joined Datsun and Prince logo heraldic style badge 
was made with two LIONS as supporters of the two emblems of the company, the 
Datsun "hamburger" and the Prince Shield.  I couldn't readily find a 
location on the internet (the mail forward program would strip an 
attachment), but you can see it at the bottom of the page here:
http://www.earlydatsun.com/prince.html

That emblem clearly shows two LIONS and not Griffins. In Heraldic 
terminology, they are two "Lion Rampant", which you can compare to the 
symbols pictured here:
http://www.fleurdelis.com/lions.htm

I tried to join the Yahoo group, but still waiting for "admission". I won't 
comment on the pictures you may have posted.

The mis-representation has been going on for years, but probably gained fame 
with a vendor issuing some floor mats with the incorrect symbol embroidered 
on them, it has a very noticeable beak. Typically a Lion has a larger girth 
neck and mane which a Griffin doesn't. The mats show a svelte neck and a 
beak.  This is also the case with the aftermarket shifter knobs that are 
sold with a "griffin".  I have one, and it's very difficult to discern it as 
a griffin... meaning it looks more like a LION.

I'll let you decide whether it's a Griffin or a Lion, but the original 
emblem had LIONS.

Jeff,

The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: N3O

The symbol used by Nissan doesn't appear to have wings, nor an eagle's head.

I am thankful everyday she is still with me. She is sitting here as I type. Are you going to get another dog. I have bben told the best medicine for a greiving heart is to get a new friend. The new one won't replace Jack but in time you will love the "new Jack" Again I feel so bad as I know what it is lie to lose "our best friend" God bless you and yours.

Mike,

I loved, so I know how hard the loss of a pet and companion can be.

Subject: [Roadsters] Electrical problems
Message-ID: <8B3F37D350504C09956C538CF4062F47@STEVE>

I have a "63 roadster, single carb. with electrical problems.  Owned it since
new, so I can assure there have been no prior wire alterations.

I replaced the temp. sending unit on the engine and also took the gage unit
out of the dashboard, then put it back in.  I also moved the wires to the
ignition switch just a little to give more clearance from the gages located
near-by.  While loosening and tightening the ignition switch screws the
screwdriver briefly hit the wire to the starter, causing the starter to engage
for a moment, just like when I was hot wiring my parents vehicles as a
teenager 50 years ago.

Now, when I turn the ign. switch, the starter solenoid clicks but the starter
does not turn.  (The battery is on a charger, and headlights are bright, so I
got enough juice.) The ignition light and the low oil pressure light do not
light up.  Although I did nothing to this circuit, the fuse on the circuit to
the windshield wipers and back-up light immediately blows, and my multimeter
shows no resistance on that circuit.  I disconnected the wire from the temp.
sending unit, and pulled and did not replace the blown wiper/backup light
fuse, but the starter solenoid still just clicks.  I used the old trick of
using a screwdriver across the solenoid terminals in an attempt to get the
starter to run, but only got sparks.

All bulbs were checked and are good.

Anyone have ideas what is the problem?

It may be a bad ground. In my industry, we have a lot of trouble with power, 
often the negative side is ignored. This article might help

hi dave, i used something called dri wash, also a waterless car wash, and two
things:
on a good paint job, it cleans ok. on an old paint job, not so much. it seems
like it
leaves the paint hazy. the other thing is, i washed a cadillac with a vinyl
top,and
within 3 mo., the top seemed to dry out and have little splits in the vinyl.
it was ruined.
 i havent used it since.    bob smith,ohio.
 btw, the top seemd in very good condition before i used the dri wash.

So I know someone who knows someone who has a Datsun
510 2 door coupe.  Too bad it is a 1979 and not a "real" 510.
Anyway he needs a new driver's side window glass.

The dealers have been no help, so do any of you know of some
places that might have something like this for a not quite classic
vehicle?

Thanks,

mjb.

  If you have a late model roadster and don't have one of Stan's brake
braces, you SHOULD!  It made a world of difference in my '69 1600.  Buy an
"original" one, before they are all gone.  If your firewall isn't cracked at
the brake master cylinder, you just aren't driving you car enough!

The guy (Greg Childs) we got the 1970 from has a beautiful NL320. Amy has been looking for one since we saw Gregs. One came up on Phoenix Craigslist for $1000. I called the owner and after talking with him I told him I would buy it sight unseen. Also bought a 1965 320 from him in a package deal. Anyone know where I can find any info one these rare trucks?

I'm sure he can email you info, or you will fin d it on his site.

He's a great guy and full of information.

A British built vehicle named a Griffin was built about 30 - 40 years ago, 
usually powered with a small Ford V-8 engine, like a 289 or 302.  it was 
very light weight.  Very ugly, but mighty fast.

A better choice for comparison than a Peugeot.

I think you'll find that the comparison was for the logo, not
the car as such ;-)

Holden have a similar emblem

That was actually a Griffith. It was based on a TVR. They were ugly like
bulldog is ugly - beautiful if you had acquired a taste for it. And yes,
went like stink! You might laugh at it, but don't try to beat it.

I suspect that a few of us who were fascinated to learn about  
Griffiths in the early 1960's became lifelong Roadster enthusiasts.

Great memories, thanks!

The British car built there and named a Griffin was a TVR.  Unique
vehicles to be sure.  But also very fast because the bodies were
fiberglass and some had tubular frames.

You'll see one up close in this video. Datsun wins!

Must be a 4-cyl version though, or a driver with eggs on the pedal.

Steve,
Sorry to hear that you're stranded.
I'm in Laguna Niguel.  I'm not too sure how much help I'd be, but I have tools
and a jack I could bring and assist you in taking the brakes apart to see
what's up with them.  Do you have drums in the rear? It's got to be either the
parking brake is stuck on, or a cylinder blew.  I do not know of any mechanics
in the immediate area. (That's why I do my own work.  If you find one...let me
know?  Sometimes I could use a hand, too.) 
Where are you now? In Newport?  Let me know if I can be of assistance.
Patti

Hi- My 2000 is currently "parked" in Newport Beach with the rear brakes stuck
in the "on" mode. Is there a favored mechanic in the immediate area? Thanks.

Message-ID: <8CD89E0D0080D7C-1850-1C943@Webmail-m122.sysops.aol.com>

 Hi folks
     This Sunday there will be a huge car show here in Sarasota.  This show
usually registers between 1300 and 1600 entrants and it would be really nice
if a few of the Datsun's here in Florida could show up.  I plan to be there
with my 69 / 70 SRL 311.  I'm aware that there are a few 310's and 311's here
in Florida and quite a few Z cars, so here's a chance to dust off those
"Garage Queens" and get together with like minded fans of the "badge".
     From I-75 take exit 205 west to Beneva Rd and turn left (south) and at
the intersection of Beneva and US-41 you'll be there.  The car club I belong
to plans to register at 8AM.
Hope to see you there
Jim Mackey

is not. It is SPAM.

I've heard that approx 1000 NL320's were imported into the USA. One
long-time former owner posted quite a bit of info on Ratsun.net. 

I'll forward your email to that person and another current NL owner

I have a few 1600s ranging from a 1966 (Amy the wifes car) to 2 1969 and 2
1970s. I just bought a 1965 NL320 unibody meaning no separate bed. The guy
(Greg Childs) we got the 1970 from has a beautiful NL320. Amy has been
looking for one since we saw Gregs. One came up on Phoenix Craigslist for
$1000. I called the owner and after talking with him I told him I would buy
it sight unseen. Also bought a 1965 320 from him in a package deal. Anyone
know where I can find any info one these rare trucks?

Linda is spot on.  While Peter may be a legit and stand-up guy, the spam-bot 
that stole his address
is COUNTING on that happening with at least ONE of the e-mail addresses it 
steals.

Just like with identity theft.  The schmutz that steals your identity is 
counting on YOUR identity to be
that of a "legit and very up front and honest person." in order to profit 
from it.

Has ANYONE called Peter to verify?  His phone # is given at the bottom....

I don't know him personally or I would call; I presume those who are 
vouching for him do know him personally.
Might one of them call?

Well,
I haven't been able to call Peter, but since I am a close friend of his,
this I can safely vouch for.

That message has no resemblance to anything we would receive from Peter,

kinda like getting something from Pat Horne that DIDN'T end in Peace,
Pat.

You do it, Mark, because you know in your heart how much your list
members appreciate what you do. There's still a significant group
of us old-timers that rely on the information shared on these lists,
and we'd be cast adrift if not for your ongoing efforts.

Your lament made me realize that it's been too long since I've

That would be a Chevy II four from the mid sixties.  It was 4 cylinders of the
Chevy 6 introduced in 1963, and later became the Pontiac 4 "Iron Duke" used in
IMSA and other road racing and in drag racing.  Parts are available to go over
3L.  A friend of mine used one to hold the national record in NHRA for many
years with one.

  Not just a Chevy 4, but one with roller rockers and polished ports?  And
CHROME plated?  It will sell, but I'm not sure I want to know who buys it!

  Although, swap in a VG30 and I might look again!

He says it has a 5 speed. Either it has been changed, or he doesn't know 
better.
Hopefully there are papers on recent engine overhaul.
Plug wires are different colors, may be there are other things that need 
to looked into.
 From 1000 miles away it looks good too!

Peace,
Pat

Also has GM alternator conversion.

Doesn't look like a project, but a local roadster person should check it
out.

sounds like someone abandoned this "project", then moved out of the

No connection to "seller".

Not only stolen, but I guess there would be no title either.

sounds like someone abandoned this "project", then moved out of the
building.

No connection to "seller".
My work is kinda close so I can go take pics next week, but no room at
home for more projects of this size.

I get the impression that it's at a storage place. If that's the case
I doubt a thief would pay to store it and then abandon it. I have a
couple of "unfinished" 510s along with a ton of assorted bits in a
store room because I don't want them sitting out in the weather.

Like Fergus said, it looks like someone started a restoration then
stopped for whatever reason. If I was even reasonably close I'd be
sorely tempted. It looks like a very solid car, and the price id
definitely right.

FWIW,
Ron

hi,all, you know, this is how rumors get started. i have bought a roadster
without
title before, and i went to the bmv(or dmv), and found out who is the last
title holder was. i found the guy(a company in my case),took the correct
paperwork with me, and asked him to sign over the title, which he did.
of course, i explained the circumstances, and he was happy to do it.
it is important to have all the paper work with you, so all he has to do is
sign. i hope someone rescues this roadster.

 I doubtthat it would be easy to find the last owner from 1974? Now what?
Wellat least they could run a check to see if it was stolen, hopefully.

Hi, All!

This is California.  We do over-legislation better than anyone on the
planet.  It has CA plate (a coveted black plate, in fact).  Believe me. 
The CA DMV has our records back to the Pleistocene era.  It would be a
simple matter to take that number to the DMV and find out who the last
registered owner is.  Heck, you could do it from the pic!  Might be
difficult to find out where the owner is now though....

I actually did this some years ago with an old VW.  As Bob said, no issues
at all.

Some of you good LA folks get out there and rescue this baby!

Sure you can!
There are several methods of keeping the valves in the closed position 
while you do the job.
I have never used, it but apparently the Indian Rope Trick is the 
cheapest and safest method I believe.
You place the piston of the relevant cylinder at TDC compression stroke.
Piston at top of stroke, both valves closed.
Give the valve tops a bit of a tap with a hammer to free up the retainers.
Then you feed into the spark plug hole a length of rope or cord so that 
it snakes around and fills the combustion chamber, thus physically 
preventing the valves from dropping into the cylinder.
You then use a lever type valve spring compressor to release the 
retainers and remove the springs.
R & R the seals then re-assemble the valves for that cylinder.
Repeat for each cylinder.
The advantage of this method is that the valves are jammed shut 
positively by the cord.
They may drop slightly but can easily be retrieved by hand or jamming 
more cord into the chamber.
You can also pressurize the cylinder with compressed air but if the 
pressure leaks away for any reason, the valves will drop.
I suppose you could continuously pressurize the cylinder but it wouldn't 
be as secure as the rope method.
One little fart and game over:-!

Actually you want to feed the rope in when the piston is a not quite at TDC.
Then you can turn the crank with a wrench to push the rope up solidly
against the valves.

I've done this on a U20, it does work.

  Use a cotton rope, not plastic!  Stuffs in easier and any frayed pieces
left in the cylinder will burn off.

Sure you can!
There are several methods of keeping the valves in the closed position 
while you do the job.
I have never used, it but apparently the Indian Rope Trick is the 
cheapest and safest method I believe.
You place the piston of the relevant cylinder at TDC compression stroke.
Piston at top of stroke, both valves closed.
Give the valve tops a bit of a tap with a hammer to free up the retainers.
Then you feed into the spark plug hole a length of rope or cord so that 
it snakes around and fills the combustion chamber, thus physically 
preventing the valves from dropping into the cylinder.
You then use a lever type valve spring compressor to release the 
retainers and remove the springs.
R & R the seals then re-assemble the valves for that cylinder.
Repeat for each cylinder.
The advantage of this method is that the valves are jammed shut 
positively by the cord.
They may drop slightly but can easily be retrieved by hand or jamming 
more cord into the chamber.
You can also pressurize the cylinder with compressed air but if the 
pressure leaks away for any reason, the valves will drop.
I suppose you could continuously pressurize the cylinder but it wouldn't 
be as secure as the rope method.
One little fart and game over:-!

Has anyone in the group been able to determine what the maximum horsepower
rating that the 1600 and 2000 rear ends can take without breaking on long

Hi, All!

This is California.  We do over-legislation better than anyone on the
planet.  It has CA plate (a coveted black plate, in fact).  Believe me.
The CA DMV has our records back to the Pleistocene era.  It would be a
simple matter to take that number to the DMV and find out who the last
registered owner is.  Heck, you could do it from the pic!  Might be
difficult to find out where the owner is now though....

I actually did this some years ago with an old VW.  As Bob said, no issues
at all.

Some of you good LA folks get out there and rescue this baby!

Another thing is to NOT push the whole rope into the cylinder, leave one 
end out and secure it or you may have to pull the head to get the rope 
out! My father was an aircraft mechanic during WWII and when an engine 
went bad the roped a cylinder and flew to the maintenance facility on 
the remaining engines. Many times they had to pull the head to get the 
rope out.

Peace,
Pat

Message-ID: <421002.41173.qm@web121403.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

Oldie but goodie.

I add that Lucas won WW2. Due to Lucas, every soldier was
an excellent mechanic 
and electrician.

Due to the technical abilities forced
upon residents of the UK by crappy cars, 
they invented radar and the Merlin
engine which won the war, powering Mustangs, 
Spitfires, Hurricanes and
Lancasters.

ELECTRICAL THEORY BY JOSEPH LUCAS
 

Positive ground
depends on proper circuit functioning, which is the transmission 
of negative
ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as 
bsmokeb.
Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. We know this to be
true 
because every time one lets the smoke out of an electrical circuit, it
stops 
working. This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing.
For example, if one places a copper bar across the terminals of a battery,
prodigious quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to
function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an electrical
component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also be observed that the
component no longer functions. The logic is elementary and inescapable!
 
The
function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to
another. When the wiring springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the
system, nothing works afterward.

Starter motors were considered unsuitable
for British motorcycles for some time 
largely because they consumed large
quantities of smoke, requiring very 
unsightly large wires.

It has been
reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly more prone to
electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or American counterparts.
Experts 
point out that this is because Lucas is British, and all things
British leak. 
British engines leak oil, British shock absorbers, hydraulic
forks and disk 
brake systems leak fluid, British tires leak air and British
Intelligence leaks 
national defense secrets.

Therefore, it follows that
British electrical systems must leak smoke. Once 
again, the logic is clear
and inescapable.
In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of
electrical energy in the 
form of smoke provides a logical explanation of the
mysteries of electrical 
components especially British units manufactured by
Joseph Lucas, Ltd.
 
And remember: bA gentleman does not motor about after
dark.b
 
Joseph Lucas bThe Prince of Darknessb
1842-1903
 
A few Lucas
quips:
The Lucas motto: bGet home before dark.b
Lucas is the patent holder
for the short circuit.
Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas
- Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
The three-position Lucas switch--DIM,
FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch 
settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.
The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.
If Lucas made guns, wars
would not start
Back in the b70s, Lucas decided to diversify its product
line and began 
manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they
offered which did 
not suck.
Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because
Lucas makes their 
refrigerators.
This has been referred to as the smoke
theory when the smoke comes out its 
finished, cooked or done for.

Mike Kerr

We've talked around this subject on a pretty regular basis. I say
around because the threads were mostly about parts cost and where to
get them. I'd add to Mike's comment that a lot depends on how a car
with 300 HP and a stock rear axle is driven, although a question
regarding max horsepower implies intent to exercise said horsepower,
at least in my book. :>)

I'm also of the opinion that unless you just absolutely must keep the
OEM rig that a custom unit from Moser or Currie would probably be
little, if any most costly than the factory pieces, plus giving you
access to a number of LSD and pretty much R&P ratio you could want,
much greater durability and much less expensive service parts.

This is the exact conclusion that we came up with when building James' SR20DET powered car. We decided to put an all-new 8" Ford rear end from Currie (with the rear disc brakes, LSD, and all new parts) rather than dealing with a LSD that I can only buy limited parts for, converting the rear drums to disc, etc.

At the end of the day, James can beat on this rear end to his hearts content, and if he blows it up, wants to change the final drive ratio, etc., it won't be a problem to order new parts to fix it. Same can't be said for the Nissan LSD and associated parts...

Using sticky tyres and some hard launches I found the weak point was the axles
rather than the differential. A few Aussie cars with about 200hp have broken
axles.

There is a design flaw with the originals where a change in axle diameter is
prone to breakage. Some machining to make the diameter change more gradual
will reduce the stress. Billet axles or modified axles from another car are
also good solutions.

Sorry Joe, but I've been trying to "Like" you for the past 15 minutes. There
is 
no where to like you. No like button.  What am I missing?

Thanks

You need to click on 'American Collectors Insurance' and like them
first.  Once that is done you can go back to the voting page, which,
sad to say, has no Triumphs!  Harumph!

I think it has to be RUNNING cars, Mark, hence no Triumphs.  ;-)

Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

Gordon,

It's understandable, since, according to a recent post, Joseph Lucas is the 
patent holder for the short circuit, and invented intermittent wipers.  ;-)

Those features are acceptable, however, as long as one minds the admonition 
not to drive after dark.  That said, had I not bought my '66 1600 as a 
go-to-work car in Southern California in 1971, I would have an Austin Healy 
3000.  Still think the Healys are better-looking, but my '67 2000 Solex will 
walk away from them.

Gary

Saturday the 12th of Feb we'll be doing our annual "blow off the stink"
run ending up at the Silver Falls Conference Center east of Salem OR for
lunch ($8.50), picture taking, the first meeting of 2011 and an open
invitation to anyone looking for a club home to come take a look at Datsuns
Northwest. This is the club that does the heavy lifting for Canby every year
and have embarked on a schedule of activities for 2011 that you may find of
interest.

See http://www.datsunsnw.org for details as to club activities and start
place and time for the Polar Bear.
