Subject: [Roadsters] Alt vs battery
Message-ID: <6b83f8ea.14392e.130e57d0788.Webtop.47@charter.net>

Well, it has been a week since I did the following: Cleaned up the two 
grounds from the alt to the body (they were not real bad but were not 
100% clean either) and added (?) a ground from the starter to the body 
(did these cars come with this ground when new?).

For years the car has been hardish to start: I would turn the key, the 
engine would kick once, hesitate, then turn over/start. Now, after the 
above mentioned work, the engine turns right over. So that issue has 
been solved.

As for the charging issue, I am still not 100% convinced this issue has 
been solved**. But, the battery has been connected for a week now (I 
used to disconnect it when I got home from a run) and the car has 
started just fine each time I have tried to start it during this week. 
Last night will be the test: I drove home after dark with both the 
headlights on bright and my garmin plugged into an auxiliary power jack 
I put in the car last year. I will see if the car will start on its own 
when I get home today.

**I am still concerned that the ammeter no longer goes into the positive 
side of the scale. But, since it does go into the negative with the 
headlights on so the gauge does work.

Thanks again for all help and advice offered!!

Jim,

I've never seen Solex replicas made by Hitachi.  Those I have seen

If the backfire is out the exhaust, this is a symptom of running too rich
during 
overrun (after lifting off the throttle).  If backfiring through the
carbs, it's 
too lean.

Also look for a leak in the exhaust system.  Check the Header Gasket first.
A leak can draw fresh air in, due to the temporary high vacuum in the
exhaust system; that then causes secondary ignition in the exhaust pipe.

I was aware of a minor exhaust leak at the manifold that, in the past 
few weeks (since the backfiring started), has gotten louder. I guess the 
increased leak has caused this issue.

Since the backfires have blown a hole in the rusted seam of my muffler, 
I guess I get to do the entire exhaust system now.

Thanks Walt!

the fog light switch appears to be a simple single throw, single pole 
switch.  no biggie to test.

the other ones, however, have multiple poles and multiple throws.

I have a very nice diagram (thank you slowboy) which helps.

I'd like to test the switches before I move on to testing the various items 
they go to.

can anyone tell me how to test any of them?  the diagram has the poles 
labeled, and where they go, but I'm at a loss as to where to connect power, 
etc, so I can use my multimeter to ascertain if the switches are working.

(I received the car in kit form, and have purchased additional switches over 
time, so I don't have the luxury of knowing for sure what was working)

Hey listers,
Anybody have a working tach laying around collecting dust?  Wanna get rid of
it in exchange for $$ ??  I was gonna offer $$ or a kidney, but I'm fairly

My car has been slow in starting. It won't start via the battery but the lights do work so I don't think it's a bad battery. I am able to start the car by jumping it down a hill but the last time i did this, it overheated, a bunch of green stuff came out of the radiator and now it won't do anything. No engine turn over at all and frankly, I am afraid to try and jump it again. Admittedly, it's been hot here - over 100 most days but I have driven it in the heat before. 
I am clueless about what to do as are the mechanics I have spoken to. Any input would be most appreciated and please, speak to me as if I were a 8 year old.
Finally, I will have to fill the radiator. What do I use to fill it?

I'm in the process of drawing up some schematics which include the 
pinouts of the Niles switches with the internal switching matrix for 
each switch position.
This info. is based on the wiring for a 1965 SP310 but may be applicable 
for other years.

Head light switch: -
Position
OFF.
1.     pin 7,6 and 4 connected.
2.     pin 7, 6 and 2 connected.

Fog light switch: -
Position
OFF.
ON.   pin 6 and 7 connected

Windshield wiper switch: -
Position
OFF. pin 2 and 7 connected
ON.   pin 2 and 6 connected

Heater switch: -
Position
OFF.
1.      pin 4 and 6 connected
2.      pin 2 and 6 connected

All switches are OFF when the toggle points DOWN and pin 1 is at the TOP.
Attached is the rear view pinouts of the NILES type switch.
Note, not all pins are fitted in all switches.
Use a multi meter on resistance test to check continuity.

Don't know what the problem is, but you can fill the radiator with just water temporarily until you determine the problem. That's just for short-term. 

You'll want to drain and refill w/ a 50/50 mix of water/antifreeze.

For the 2 speed wipers the following applies: -
Position
OFF. pin 2, 6 and 7 connected
1.       pin 4, 6 and 7 connected
2.       pin 4 and 7 connected

Graeme's nailed it with the exception of the Windshield Wiper Switch.  The 
67 had a HI-LO Wiper with a Park feature.  I'm researching that and hope to 
put up an update.

Slow as it turns over slowly, or slow as in it takes a lot of cranking
befoire it catches?

As in push starting? Get it rolling and pop the clutch?

Ouch.
My guess: Blown head gasket (leaking cylinder compression pressurized
the cooling system and blew the coolant out) and hydrostatic lock
(cylinders filling with coolant).

Remove the spark plugs and try turning the engine over by hand (with
the plugs out you should be able to do this). I bet you squirt water
out the spark plug holes!

Trying to start it again may result in lots of bad things happening,
including bending a connecting rod. Also, the oil will be a mix
of oil and coolant; pump that thru the engine and... well, you don't
want to do that.

Pull the dipstick. If you have anything more than clean oil, the
head gasket let go (grey gooey sludge, beads of water, foam) and
you've got some work ahead of you...

I've run across someone in my area who has a 3.5hp go kart with a Z car body...red car on black frame. fibreglass body, not plastic- kid sits in a hole in the roof with a seat, probably around 5' long. has decals for the headlights and grille, etc. evidently there's one in the Datsun Heritage Museum although I haven't seen a pic- anyone have any idea what one of these is worth? I figure there can't be a lot of them around...would be a cool piece to bring up to the Nissan-Datsun meet at the Glen in September. don't want to spend too much for it if I'm considering buying it and figure maybe someone on the list here has an idea of the value. I haven't seen it in person yet.

Yes the gas-a-just are stiffer and tend to rebound a little faster. Where 
the GR-2 make a great rear shock and pretty good front. I am a more spirited 
driver.

Sorry, I realize I am coming into this conversation late, but it brought up
a couple of questions.
Is there a big difference in ride feel between the gas-a-just and the
GR-2's?
Jim, was that the reason for the different shocks front and rear?

when I was researching the 280ZX promotional go-karts I came across one in the Datsun Heritage Museum that they were looking for photos of an original one so as to be able to copy the graphics and restore the kart- I bought the one out here, has all it's original decals, was going to send pix but can't find any info on how to contact them- at least not with a working number or e-mail address. are they still in business? would be a cryin' shame if they are not. kart is still in the back of the pickup but I put 3 pix up in a webshots album, if you want to see it go to http://webshots.com/user/672000 cool piece :-) I'm going to see if I can climb into it and have someone take a pic...probably easier than trying to get back out of it although undoubtedly there will be pix of that effort as well...

Hi Paul, from another Paul w- a 1600.

There is a typical failure near the collection point, at the first clamp to the pipe under the seat.

Sometimes the manifold will crack there because of too much movement caused by a missing or failed scissors clamp where the first pipe passes through the frame.

You can see it by getting underneath.

a power pole.  it has a plus sign on one terminal.

which side should I plug into the plus terminal?

The gauge + goes to the POSITIVE/RED terminal.
Bear in mind that if connected in reverse, a centre zero gauge like the  
Ammeter, will simply read backwards, i.e. it will show a discharge when 
it should be showing a charge.
DO NOT connect to Ammeter before the starter motor, it won't handle the 
current drawn by that.
The Ammeter when connected properly just displays the current drawn from 
the battery [DISCHARGE] or fed into the battery [CHARGE].

Don't know if this will help....

My 70 1600 has an exhaust leak at the manifold as well. It sounds like a 
bad valve but the mechanic (who does the work I am not yet ready to do) 
told me that clicking sound was actually a leak at the manifold.

This could be at the gasket or a cracked manifold. As far as I know (and 
I am far far far from an expert) the only way to determine for sure is 
to dismantle the intake and exhaust manifolds.

Message-ID: <7b7ea473.196b1a.131145e482c.Webtop.47@charter.net>

A while back (last summer?) I posted about a high speed (over 75-80) 
hesitation that I was getting.

Long story short, I fixed this (I think) with a new cap and rotor. The 
old rotor was pretty lose on the shaft and the cap had significant 
grooves worn in the contact points. New cap and rotor, problem seems to 
be gone.

Today may be the final test of that. Videos and pics to follow 
hopefully.

PEACE :-)

That is so sad... The car really didn't look all that bad to me.   Why did the
buttheads have to crush the cars?   Why not tow the cars to a junkyard to be
stripped first, then whatever leftover crushed by a proper crusher?   Not so
impressed with Hoarders in this case...

At least from '68 onward they came in a fine grain/ aluminum silver. That's based on several NOS spares I've had, with itty bitty skinny tread bias whitewall tires, with original air !

Mine are white, but they were re-painted by the PO (it's actually a pretty
good look, IMHO) The spare is silver, so I'm guessing that's original.

BTW -- the spare in my car is scary to look at. Original bias-ply tire that is
so shiny it looks like a glazed donut! I'll be looking for one of those teeny
little modern spares when I get my '70 back on the road.

While you may not want the engine, those transmissions have the starter on
the left, and will bolt to the R16 & U20, or you can use just the bell
housing to bolt the later 71B & 71C 5-speeds to the R16 & U20.

Hey Listers,
We had a great drive through some amazing roads on Sunday.  Plus, we had 6,
count em, 6 Datsun roadsters on the trip.  Because it is Wisconsin and not
sunny California, we will count the 350Z, so that makes 7.
Anyway, one of the Miata owners wrote a little bit about the trip.

  Great photos!  Kind of reminds me of the old OROC days here in Ohio, but
that crowd didn't like to drive much.  Those photos of roadsters on that
winding road are fantastic.  One of these years I'd like to hop on Route 23
just south of Columbus, Ohio, and follow it all the way down to Road Atlanta
for the Mitty.  Might take a few days, but the drive sure would be fun.
Should be lots of 'mom & pop' restaurants along the way to sample too.

This is almost TOO funny!

Whenever a "purist" in the Z / Roadster community gets a little too uppity
over how perfectly "original" state they've RESTORED their car to... I ask if
they have Factory Air in their tires.

Admittedly, this might be seen as a bit "mean", but let's face it... RESTORED
means it's no longer ORIGINAL!

If you insist on rubbing people's noses into the "originality" of your car, it
better be a true blue survivor and not one that just came out of a body shop
after a frame-off restoration.  It may have been restored to original
specifications, with a lot of research into the appropriate parts for the VIN
and date of manufacture, and therefore a beautiful example worthy of praise,
BUT.... it's no longer an original survivor, it's a restored vehicle.

Sorry, I guess I personally prefer a well-kept SURVIVOR over a restoration.
Nothing wrong with a restoration, mine is one, but a survivor... mmmmm.

E



  At least from '68 onward they came in a fine grain/ aluminum silver. That's
  based on several NOS spares I've had, with itty bitty skinny tread bias
  whitewall tires, with original air !

  Hey, mine is all original, ... if you don't count the KA24, carpet and
seats, paint, and well, maybe a few other things!  (:-)  I couldn't find any
NOS water for the cooling system so I used some Mount Shasta Spring water I
found at the local Dollar store.  And the air in the tires came from a
Chinese compressor.  Does that count.

OK, you guys deserve this:  A four-panel "BC" cartoon.

1st:  BC and friend are walking through the forest and emerge into a 
mountain glen.

2nd:  BC:  "Smell that fresh mountain air.  I should bottle this and sell it 
back in the city."

3rd:  Friend:  "Who'd be stupid enough to buy that?"

4th:  BC:  "Same people who buy bottled water."

Really?!! You dudes are way too harsh. A guy asks the original color of the
wheels and you throw him into the "obnoxious purist" category. I think its a
legitimate question. Finding a real survivor of any make is next to
impossible. Restoring a car as close to original may not float your boat but,
some people like them that way. Just help the guy out. Oversensitive Roadster

This is almost TOO funny!

Whenever a "purist" in the Z / Roadster community gets a little too uppity

they have Factory Air in their tires.

Nah, man, I took it as a theoretical discussion, after a benign and reasonable query.

I'm probably to blame for the 'original air' satirical wisecrack others picked up on to continue this thread, long after the basic question was answered.

No harm intended.

You're obviously NOT reading the whole SERIES of replies whereby he not only
received CORRECT answer(S plural!), but a humorous tangent came off that
series and you then read the last of it.

So you then decided to SPAM the list with your signature string....

white trapezoid hardtop.
Corner of Sepulveda and Mariposa.

Message-ID: <4a9ba1de.9d114.1312fcc101f.Webtop.46@charter.net>

I bought a battery tender about a week ago. After each drive since I 
have hooked it up and the next day the little light has always been 
green. I had the Roadster out last night with headlights on and an 
auxillary power jack running my garmin. Today,  about 18 hours since 
hooking up the battery tender, the light is still red (not that 
surprising I guess) but the plug end is very hot.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks

I too bought a well reviewed battery tender off Amazon for my Datsun.
Not too impressed with it, on first use it stayed red for more than 72 
hours,
which is the max it should have taken.   I gave it another 48 hours, and
it finally went green.  The unit (block that plugs into the AC power)
always feels a bit too warm even for when it is not actively charging.

My battery has always been quick to self-discharge (or the clock
is drawing too much current, which I don't think it is), and the 
electrolytes
might not be completely in balance, which might be throwing the
battery tender into a confused state.

Splain this to me.

Does the thing have a timer, with a current sensor?  

And what happens when it switches from red to green? (Besides the LED changing color) 

Is there a dual stage charging circuit, perhaps, where red = high charge rate and green = trickle?

I'm always suspicious of these things since they're usually not sophisticated enough to match what they do to the CCA/battery size and age.

And Tom, I think the clock is spring wound, and no current draw except for the second or two it takes to trigger the electro_mechanical windup.

Battery tender is not a charger. It only is keeps it from discharging. So 
your battery needs to be charged first and when it will stay that way 
forever. If your battery is good and terminals are clean. I have been using 
them for two years now and they work great.

Message-ID: <1310833602.67595.YahooMailClassic@web161011.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

Hi Everyone,
I have a rear brake drum that will not come off.  This is the first time I
have experienced this.  I have removed the brake line, drained the line, tried
tapping on it, tried to pry it off with screw drivers towards the center, and
tried force turning with no success in getting it off.
I am thinking of drilling holes, threading the holes and trying to screw bolts
to to pry it out.  I think some of the early Datsun 510/Z's had the drums
drilled and threaded towards the center to put bolts through to push the drum
out. 
 
Please send me suggestions on how to remove it.

Thanks so much,
Paul

Ease it off by tapping against a wood block behind the fins around the drum.
By repeatedly tapping and relocating the wood block, you will eventually free
the drum. See the pictures I posted for reference.

Paul,

If the drum turns then there is likely a lip inside the drum that the shoes
are catching on.  Try backing off the brake adjuster all the way and see if
that helps.

I doubt hydraulic pressure is the problem. The drum will often rust itself to
the axle. So, you may want to spray some PB blaster around the edges of the
center hole of the drum itself and let it soak. Don't go crazy and get oil on
your brake shoes unless you already planned on replacing them. I would not pry
with screw drivers because you may damage the backing plate. Can you spin the
drum freely? If not, check the emergency brake linkage to ensure it's fully
releasing. If the drum still won't spin, try the brake adjustment slot on the
back. I've had good luck with a dead blow. Alternating taps on the front side
of the drum and the back edge. Again, be careful not to damage the backing
plate. Some have suggested heating but, I've never had to resort to it. Hope
that helps,Dan'66 1600

 From the description:

  * Perfect for charging all 12-volt lead-acid, flooded or sealed
    maintenance free batteries (AGM and gel cell)
  * Complete 4-step charging program (Initialization, Bulk Charge, Float
    Mode) allows for optimization of battery power, without overcharging

I've clicked through to the explanations on the manufacturer's website, 
and it seems legit, a microprocessor
controlled (current sensing) charger. In Float mode it is still 
providing a voltage to the battery to maintain
a small current, but I wasn't expecting that to generate much heat in 
the charger itself...

Fred's got a good strategy.

I have used a hard rubber mallet on the backside of a drum jammed tight by a shoe that had "swole-up" from a leaking cylinder.

Ease it off by tapping against a wood block behind the fins around the drum.
By repeatedly tapping and relocating the wood block, you will eventually free
the drum. See the pictures I posted for reference.

Hi Everyone,
I have a rear brake drum that will not come off.  This is the first time I
have experienced this.  I have removed the brake line, drained the line,
tried tapping on it, tried to pry it off with screw drivers towards the
center, and tried force turning with no success in getting it off.
I am thinking of drilling holes, threading the holes and trying to screw
bolts to to pry it out.  I think some of the early Datsun 510/Z's had the
drums drilled and threaded towards the center to put bolts through to push
the drum out. 
 
Please send me suggestions on how to remove it.

Thanks so much,

Hi Everyone,
I want to Thank everyone that responded.  I checked my email a few times then
just went out and got it off. 

well .. I ended up snapping off the brake shoe adjuster end. Now I need to
purchase one.
I took the nuts and washers off the adjuster and the top of the drum started
to come off. I had to remove the shims in the back of the wheel cylinder and
take off the brakeline. The drum came out more but still would not come loose.
For some reason, the brake shoes were locked in the drum! I had worked it out
as mush as I could and used a screw driver to force one of the shoes out. Once
I got one of the shoes forced out the drum came off. I inspected the drum and
brake shoes but nothing appeared wrong. GO FIGURE ! I plan to clean it
throughly and inspect again. This happened all because I bleed the brakes.

Next steps, I plan to purchase new adjusters and wheel cylinders. Then
re-assemble when I get time.

Everyone..Thanks for all the help.

Here's  weird question !

Are both the batteries in these cases conventional lead acid batteries ? 
It sounds it .  Especially the car that was driven with the headlights 
and the nav unit on , What is being said there is that while the car was 
being driven the alternator was NOT capable of supplying  enough power 
to run the car and charge the battery or , in a more likely scenario , 
the battery is partially what we used to call sulfated and is so 
resistant to charge it was slowly losing power . Generally speaking when 
you come home after driving the car and throw your tender on most of the 
time it should go straight to green . The exception to this would be the 
half hour errand run down town where you started and stopped the engine 
6 times as you went from place to place but the total run time on the 
engine was 10 or 12 minutes . In a case like that the starter may have 
pulled the battery down a little and the drive home wasn't long enough 
to fully recharge it .
The heat you feel in the plug of the tender is from it "straining" to 
force juice into a battery that it senses needs it but the battery is 
resisting taking it . It's kind of like that red face you got when  1 
year old you were sure needed to be fed wasn't so sure it was willing to 
eat . You've got the apple sauce on the spoon and the spoon up to 
his/her face but the mouth just isn't gonna open and take it in .

There is one other consideration on tenders . They are most efficient by 
a factor of about 3 when you install the short hard wire pigtail and 
plug in and out of that as opposed to using the alligator clamps . A 
tender is a very low amperage rickle charger . Any of its power wasted 
through weak connectons is power the battery never sees . You think you 
are giving it 1 1/2 amps but it is only seeing half that with the 
expected effect on the charging time .Also as we add all kinds of neat 
stuff to our cars , especially anything with a memory (stereo's are the 
biggest culprit here) the draw on the battery goes up . this is why we 
keep a tender on them in the first place but in some cases there is so 
much draw that a real automatic 2 to 10 amp battery charger is a better 
option than a tender .


Thanks,
Durf

I'd also cook new shoes or pads in an old toaster oven at 250 degs for a few hours. I have found it minimizes brake squeal.

Speaking of clocks. My 70 1600 clocked has basically not worked. I have been
busy working on other issues that actually keep me from running the car and
have 
not been concerned about the clock. I run the car almost daily now. A
few days 
ago the clock started working. It kept good time. This lasted a few
days then it 
stopped again. Any body have this experience and any ideas for
easy way to 
correct this? The clock looks difficult to get at for
investigation.

Thanks Paul S

Does the thing have a timer, with a current sensor?  

And
what happens when it switches from red to green? (Besides the LED changing

Is there a dual stage charging circuit, perhaps, where red = high

and green = trickle?

I'm always suspicious of these things since

I
too bought a well reviewed battery tender off Amazon for my Datsun.
Not too
impressed with it, on first use it stayed red for more than 72 
hours,
which
is the max it should have taken.  I gave it another 48 hours, and
it finally
went green.  The unit (block that plugs into the AC power)
always feels a bit
too warm even for when it is not actively charging.

My battery has always
been quick to self-discharge (or the clock
is drawing too much current, which
I don't think it is), and the 
electrolytes
might not be completely in
balance, which might be throwing the
battery tender into a confused state.

First, I've been reminded that the Datsun stock clock stops when power is removed, so it's not the electro-mechanical wind-up type I thought in the discussion on here earlier of battery charging/current.

But on clock reliability, out of the half-dozen Roadsters I've had for a year or more (68-70 model years) only one car's clock consistently worked !

And it's just that problem of getting to it, as you point out, that had kept me from doing any exploration.

Also I figured out Roadster Time is measured in miles.

Speaking of clocks. My 70 1600 clocked has basically not worked. I have been 
busy working on other issues that actually keep me from running the car and have 
not been concerned about the clock. I run the car almost daily now. A few days 
ago the clock started working. It kept good time. This lasted a few days then it 
stopped again. Any body have this experience and any ideas for easy way to 
correct this? The clock looks difficult to get at for investigation.

Thanks Paul S

Splain this to me.

Does the thing have a timer, with a current sensor?  

And what happens when it switches from red to green? (Besides the LED changing 
color) 


Is there a dual stage charging circuit, perhaps, where red = high charge rate 
and green = trickle?

I'm always suspicious of these things since they're usually not sophisticated 
enough to match what they do to the CCA/battery size and age.

And Tom, I think the clock is spring wound, and no current draw except for the 
second or two it takes to trigger the electro_mechanical windup.

I too bought a well reviewed battery tender off Amazon for my Datsun.
Not too impressed with it, on first use it stayed red for more than 72 
hours,
which is the max it should have taken.  I gave it another 48 hours, and
it finally went green.  The unit (block that plugs into the AC power)
always feels a bit too warm even for when it is not actively charging.

My battery has always been quick to self-discharge (or the clock
is drawing too much current, which I don't think it is), and the 
electrolytes
might not be completely in balance, which might be throwing the
battery tender into a confused state.

Oliver,

Tach cable, yes.  "Late" tach cables had longer ferrules at the instrument 
end, which makes them less flexible when installing.  Early tach cables are 
harder to find, and more expensive when you do.  Either will perform 
properly, but I like the early cables for low-windshield cars because of the 
fit-up issue.  (Some people carrefully cut the ferrule with a tubing cutter, 
which adds flexibility near the tach connection.)

I THINK the 1600 speedo cables were shorter than the 2000 cable, so it may 
depend on which way you're going -- 2000 to 1600 or vice-versa.  Dean 
(datsunparts.com) lists "one longer cable for both 1600 and 2000".  Dann 
(Rallye; datsunroadster.com) lists separate cable part numbers for the 1600 
and 2000.

It would not surprise me to find a 2000 speedo cable in a 1600 because that 
was what the dealer had at the time.  If it reaches, you're fine.

Do you have a wiring diagram?  If not, download one for your year from 
311s.org. Look for a bad connection.

Just dealt with a similar issue with the fuel gauge on my '67-1/2 2000. 
Worked sometimes, then finaly quit.  Turned out to be combination of things, 
but one was a bad connection where the dash harness links with the rear 
harness.

Most people's experiences, at least as I have read, are that roadster clocks 
don't work very well.  The clock in my '66 1600 gains about 1 minute a 
day -- very reliably.  There's an adjustment on the back if I were ambitious 
enough to take it out and play with it.  I have learned to reset it whenever 
I get in for the first time each day.  The clock in my '67-1/2 2000 keeps 
perfect time -- over weeks.  Go figure.

Tim, 

 

Nice pictures.    I lived in MN for about 10 years and always loved summer
when the collector cars came out. 

 

Does anybody know what type of wheels are one the red roadster? 

 

Thanks.

I recently disassembled all my 69 gauges including the clock to have
rescreened in tan. Once the movement was removed, I found that most all the
pivot points were dry. Oiled with a fine point oiler and now it works just
fine and has never stopped. Removing the clock from the dash was the biggest
bear.

Message-ID: <3732cd41.1b486f.1313d6ca3ca.Webtop.48@charter.net>

Thanks to all who replied....

A few answers to various questions:

The battery is good. I have had it tested three times: twice with small 
hand held units at two different FLAPS and once on some unit that took 
an hour to fully test.

The tender I am using is a Battery Tender "junior" that is connectted 
directly to the battery using alligator clamps. I will most likely 
switch to the directly wired pig tails.

Upon closer inspection I found that the car's negative battery terminal 
wire was slightly lose. This was probably causing the hot condition at 
the wall plug.

The alternator is a one wire GM unit with less than 5000 miles on it. I 
suspect that the alt is the weak link in my car's charging system here 
as I am no longer happy with the mounting (pulley slightly off perfect 
allignment) arrangment. I will be fixing this soon.

Thanks again for all replies.

Tim

hi oliver, well, you might want to remove the cam cover and see if the
cam and followers are nice and smoothe.  you can see how much the upper
chain tens. shoe is sticking out of the tens.(less than 1/2 way is good).
ck. the fuel and water pumps,for leaks or seapage.
 make sure 5th gear works. make sure the trans.
shifts  to 2nd and 3rd without grinding( a slow, normal shift).  it's
always possible to beat the synchros in a fast 1-2 shift.(that is, grind
the gear).  oh  yeah, the u-20 eng. is a lot stronger than your r-16,
and should pull well from about 3000-6000 rpm.
wiggle on the throttle shaft linkage to see how worn the carb.
bodys are.(im assuming it has 2 hitachi single carbs.)
remember, although the eng. has timing chains, you need to
change them about every 50-60 k miles.  and, like a timing
belt eng., IF you dont know when the chains have been
done, you should plan on it, SOON.  usually you can just do
both chains, and lower tens., leaving off the lower tens.
guide(which breaks a lot).  unless the eng. has over 150k
miles, or is really gunked up inside, the gears dont have to
be changed as often as the chains.  BTW, if you hear a rattle
that sounds like chain(upper tens.), try to pin point it
to top or bottom of eng..  if it's bottom of timing cover,
dont dismiss the car.  if its the lower tens. guide, it
wont hurt the eng., until you fix it.  the guide just lays
there on the bottom of the timing cover rattling against
the chain, slightly.(AND, thats why you leave it off the
block when you do chains).  ive never heard a lower chain
tens. rattle, because there is lots of oil press.on it.  the top
tens. is the last to get oil.(hence the two ck. balls in the tens.).
 also, you might want to push(sideways) on the dist. shaft, to
ck. for distr. bushing wear.
  sorry to go on and on, but there are some differences and weak
points to the u-20 eng..  i love the u-20 because the
bottom end(bearings) are so big and strong.  ive run mine
unmercifilly over the years, but i have always done
periodic bearing cks.  pulling the pan is easy.
 well, best of luck,   bob smith, ohio,  614 418 9911

I just RMA'd a battery tender KNOWING it was bad because it couldn't keep my
Yamaha battery up to snuff. (Enough to start).  But I was wrong!  The
battery couldn't keep a good enough charge because I had "hurt it" one too
many times. Installed a new battery and all is well.  Battery Tenders will
charge your battery if it can take it.  If you think you need a brute force
charger to pump it up, you're just buying a little time.  I learned all of
this from the manufacture of my battery minder.  I wasn't too happy with
needing another new battery in such short order, but he was right and the
bike starts easy every time I want to ride it!

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] battery tender

Here's  weird question !

Are both the batteries in these cases conventional lead acid batteries ? 
It sounds it .  Especially the car that was driven with the headlights and
the nav unit on , What is being said there is that while the car was being
driven the alternator was NOT capable of supplying  enough power to run the
car and charge the battery or , in a more likely scenario , the battery is
partially what we used to call sulfated and is so resistant to charge it was
slowly losing power . Generally speaking when you come home after driving
the car and throw your tender on most of the time it should go straight to
green . The exception to this would be the half hour errand run down town
where you started and stopped the engine
6 times as you went from place to place but the total run time on the engine
was 10 or 12 minutes . In a case like that the starter may have pulled the
battery down a little and the drive home wasn't long enough to fully
recharge it .
The heat you feel in the plug of the tender is from it "straining" to force
juice into a battery that it senses needs it but the battery is resisting
taking it . It's kind of like that red face you got when  1 year old you
were sure needed to be fed wasn't so sure it was willing to eat . You've got
the apple sauce on the spoon and the spoon up to his/her face but the mouth
just isn't gonna open and take it in .

There is one other consideration on tenders . They are most efficient by a
factor of about 3 when you install the short hard wire pigtail and plug in
and out of that as opposed to using the alligator clamps . A tender is a
very low amperage rickle charger . Any of its power wasted through weak
connectons is power the battery never sees . You think you are giving it 1
1/2 amps but it is only seeing half that with the expected effect on the
charging time .Also as we add all kinds of neat stuff to our cars ,
especially anything with a memory (stereo's are the biggest culprit here)
the draw on the battery goes up . this is why we keep a tender on them in
the first place but in some cases there is so much draw that a real
automatic 2 to 10 amp battery charger is a better option than a tender .


Thanks,
Durf
(Battery tendered vehicles I have or am dealing with : 7 Zs  , 1 2000 ,
5 Loti , 9 asst race cars , 2 Cortinas , 2 car trailers , 3 tow vehicles ,

Subject: [Roadsters] KA24E missing?
Message-ID: <004401cc4623$7cbb2160$76316420$@net>

  Last ice cream run, I hit a lousy patch of gravel road on a detour and
shook the heck out of my roadster.  Right after that, the KA started missing
at anything over easy acceleration and over 2800 rpms.  I checked the wires
to all the sensors and everything seems okay. 

  Today I changed the fuel filter thinking that a 40+ year old gas tank
probably had some crud shake loose, but the filter was clean.  And while it
was in the garage, I flushed out the cooling system.  Took it for a brief
ride, and it is still missing.  

  I pulled the plugs as soon as I got it back in the garage.  Oddly, 1 and 3
look perfect while 2 & 4 are clean, dry, but the top half of the insulator
is black while the tip is a nice clean ash color.

 

  Any thoughts what I should look for?  (Besides a R16 to put back in it!)

Maybe some Sea Foam to burn out any carbon that may have shook loose?

Check for a carbon path inside the distributor cap, esp between the contacts for 2/4.

  Got a free bottle of GumOut Fuel System Cleaner at the last race at Nelson
Ledges.  I have it sloshing around in the tank right now, but if this miss
continues this bad, I may not be driving it enough to work.

Does the ECU use a socketed chip?  If so, check that its solidly seated and 
didn't get shaken loose.  Same for the connectors at the ECU.

hi paul, i know its a pain, but, ck. all the wiring and harnesses under the
hood.
see if a wire has rubbed through.  look at the plug wires for rubbing or
proximity to metal.  pull the fuel inj. wires off one conn. at a time to
pin point the miss.( im assuming a dead miss, not intermitt.)  use a hose,
or a stethoscope, and listen to the fuel inj.s and see if  one isnt clicking,
or the click sounds different, or softer.
       best of luck, bob smith

Jim Bain,

Are you out there?

First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to prepare your =
wonderful color wiring diagrams for the roadster, which I downloaded =
from 311s.org and printed at work in 11x17.  (I have thought of plotting =
them in 34x22, but, so far, 11x17 works fine.)  The 65-67 and 67.5 =
diagrams have been of great help to me.

In troubleshooting a gauge wiring problem in my '67-1/2 2000, though, I =
noticed what I believe is an error in the 67.5 diagram.  I have a spare =
(used) '67-1/2 dash harness, and the differences are consistent with =
what I found in my car, so I think it is truly an error.  Please note =
that the error has absolutely no electrical consequence, but I figured =
anyone who put as much time into this effort as you have would want to =
know.

The wiring diagram shows a yellow/green wire going from the gauge =
voltage regulator to the temperature gauge, and a yellow/red wire =
(spliced to the yellow/green wire leaving the gauge voltage regulator) =
going to the fuel gauge.  The reality is opposite:  The yellow green =
wire goes to the fuel gauge, and the yellow/red wire goes to the =
temperature gauge.

A nit-pick, to be sure, because both wires are connected.  But, again, I =
thought you would want to know.

Has anyone ever towed their roadster behind a motor home? I'm thinking about
doing this myself. It appears that I would need to build the attachment
points on the front of the frame myself since there aren't any manufactures
that make attachment brackets anymore for our little cars. I would also have
to disconnect the driveshaft when towing plus install a light and indicator
connection to the car. Any other considerations that I've missed?

I once retrieved a '68 with a borrowed, custom-made tow bar that used the mounting points for the front bumper.

Remove the bumper, bolt-up this framework, which terminated in a standard coupler.

Seemed adequate for local use.

did find one connector that was a bit loose so I tie wrapped it tight.  And
several connectors seem to be growing green stuff!  I know this is corrosion
of the contacts, but what kind of tool is there to clean inside the female
half?  And is there something I can use to stop the green stuff from
returning?

 

Thanks again for all the help,

 

Paul

Electric contact clean AR auto parts stor or Radio Shack. Best to take the
terminals out of theconnector to clean but unless you have practiced you will
probably break one, so good to have extra terminals on hand.
Www.vintageconnections.com has the terminals and a removal tool...I used a
super tiny screwdriver. Also a dremel to polish then dialectic grease.
Try the spray first, front and back with neg battery cable off.

I have had a custom made towing assembly that works extremely well.  I  
have towed roadsters all over the country or just across town using this set  
up.  You remove the front bumper and attach the tow bar (which makes a  great 
bumper when you leave on).  This was made from square tubing welded  to 
flat heavy duty iron that was drilled for the nuts (we did make it oblong  hole 
for aligning better).  We also welded corner triangle pieces for  support.  
I can send pix for better visual if you want.  Used this for  30 years with 
a variety of roadsters.

I too have a custom made tow bar that bolts to the bumper mounts, used it
successfully quite often before I sprung for a race trailer. However, the
plates with the holes for the bumper mounting have a tendency to break the
weld at the attachment to the frame, so check them frequently.

I once towed my roadster using the front bumper mounts.  It tried to pass us
going through Hartford, CT!!  And, it nearly succeeded. God bless safety
chains.

I have a better suggestion.  Remove the bumper and mounts.  Take two pieces of
heavy angle iron and drill them to bolt on in place of the bumper mounts.
Take a third piece of angle iron and weld it across the newly made mounts.
Four bolts to change it out and you could suspend the car from it!  This was
done at a truck stop outside of Hartford 35 years ago and I still have it.
Quick, simple, and absolutely bullet proof.

I've done a lot of work with the 240 wiring diagrams and errors, omissions,
justapositions, even inverted colors are nothing new.  There are also at least
one wire in the Roadster diagrams that go "nowhere" yet are part of the

  Jim Bain,

  Are you out there?

  First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to prepare your =
  wonderful color wiring diagrams for the roadster, which I downloaded =
  from 311s.org and printed at work in 11x17.  (I have thought of plotting =
  them in 34x22, but, so far, 11x17 works fine.)  The 65-67 and 67.5 =
  diagrams have been of great help to me.

  In troubleshooting a gauge wiring problem in my '67-1/2 2000, though, I =
  noticed what I believe is an error in the 67.5 diagram.  I have a spare =
  (used) '67-1/2 dash harness, and the differences are consistent with =
  what I found in my car, so I think it is truly an error.  Please note =
  that the error has absolutely no electrical consequence, but I figured =
  anyone who put as much time into this effort as you have would want to =
  know.

  The wiring diagram shows a yellow/green wire going from the gauge =
  voltage regulator to the temperature gauge, and a yellow/red wire =
  (spliced to the yellow/green wire leaving the gauge voltage regulator) =
  going to the fuel gauge.  The reality is opposite:  The yellow green =
  wire goes to the fuel gauge, and the yellow/red wire goes to the =
  temperature gauge.

  A nit-pick, to be sure, because both wires are connected.  But, again, I =
  thought you would want to know.

Suggest welding angle iron piece between the bumper mounting bracket and

anyone using one successfully?

I didn't but the folks at the shop did.  We were moving cross country at the
time.  We stopped into a truck stop and they fixed it up for us.  The original
angle iron 'bumper' (with the tow bar hitch attached) was attached to the
original bumper mounts and they broke.  So the guys made new mounts out of
angle iron and welded it together.

  One of the parts cars at Sloan Racing had an electric antenna mounted in
the trunk wheel well with the antenna coming out the top of the fender.  It
didn't work and the body was pretty bad so it may have ended up in the scrap
pile.

hi, all.

I'm thinking of using a "hidden" antenna instead of drilling a hole in the
nicely painted bodywork

anyone using one successfully?

thanks!

Elaine's trying to get pix to the design guy that's doing the T shirts for us for the Glen this fall, have 1500 and 2000 pix lined up but need a good shot of a 1600 straight on. sending a photo to me constitutes permission to use it for the design of the shirt. last years shirt was based on Gordon's 67.5 2000, Jeremy will be doing the artwork for us again this year. 
Thanks!

I used a hodrod styled hidden antenna on my 66 SPL311. It didn't work too well. The unit was mounted horizontally inside the trunk. Unfortunately, I don't know if its was a problem with the antenna location or the radio itself.

The hidden antenna company recommended stashing the antenna horizontally under the dash. I think in this application it should work well.

Such hidden antennas are doomed because the metal in the bodywork "shields" or blocks signal, both AM and FM.

One possibility is a magnet mount antenna like the cops use on undercover cars. The coax in this case comes out of the magnet base, right over the back deck, under the carpet, into the back of the radio.  

You'd want a 'VHF' type, not UHF or cellular, since this is nearest in frequency to the FM band.

One supplier is Tessco.com but do a Google for 'VHF magnet mount antenna.'. Maybe $50.

I think by asking about a hidden antenna you are referring to an antenna
that does not mount through the body at all.  I would question the
performance of such an antenna on AM, but on FM your reception should be
fairly good as long as you are not travelling away from populated areas.  As
long as there is even a length of wire an inch or more long connected to the
antenna input of the radio you will be able to receive FM stations within a
limited area.  AM takes a little more to pick up stations reliably.

The biggest problem you will have is finding a spot where the antenna is not
abvious, yet is not shielded by the metal of the car body.  About the best
spot I found for the antenna for my alarm system was on the hook for the
factory hard top located inder the body at the center of the interior just
ahead of the trunk lid.  Even that was not a very good spot and it did not
work well.  Since I have Miata seats without speakers I ended up installing
the alarm antenna in the speaker area of the right seat headrest.  If you
have Miata seats this is a great place to hide an antenna or about anything
else that will fit in there.  

If you are talking about a retracting antenna, I have one on Mr. Hyde.  It
is mounted on the left rear fender and braced with a short link to the
flange on the wheel well seam.  The antenna motor assembly is properly
supported and has survived some spirited driving on some rough roads around
Shasta a couple of years ago that destroyed one of my speakers.  I tried
installing the antenna on the front fender first, but there was not enough
room to properly clear the antenna motor assembly.  When I replaced the
front fender the antenna hole had already been removed, which is why began
to look at the rear fender.  In addition, I like the clean view out the
front without an antenna mast in my view.

I don't have a working radio in the car.  (Too lazy to install the speaker box
and hook it up.)  Found I didn't listen to the radio while driving anyway, but
then I'm a COF, so that probably doesn't count for much with you young
whippersnappers.  (And how long has it been since you've heard that term?)

Message-ID: <CAG=2RTPyM=C48KRXy62X7afTyJgURKZo-3xwmL04f-uXtgjHsQ@mail.gmail.com>

Seems like I've managed to run more crud into my fuel filter... barely
made it home last night with the alternating zoom/sputter.  Ack.  Can
anyone tell me which Napa filter fits?  I seem to recall the last
filter I bought was way more expensive than most other styles.  I'm
hoping there is a generic filter available.

thanks

I buy what ever see through plastic I can get. Last time at napa they 
were less than $5 each. They have ends that are "two sized", meaning the 
tubes are one size then get slightly bigger to fit two different sized 
fuel lines. They are cheap enough that they can be tossed once dirty.

Paul,

I've been told that installing a short section of braided flex pipe (common 
on modern front wheel drive cars) just below the flange will help to relieve 
stress on the exhaust manifold collection point.  I've had the crack in my 
manifold braised, and I've replaced my motor mounts, but I haven't had the 
flex pipe installed yet.

Can SlowBoy's fix of a through bolt to tighten up side to side slop
(http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.TakingSlopOutOfA4Spe
ed)be done with the tranny in-car? If someone knows, that would save some

When: Saturday evening
Where: Kristoffer's in Sister Bay, WI
What: Two 1968 2000's, a red one (with a white soft top) and a blue one
(with silver accents)
Wow: Two beautiful 2000's across from the marina lit by a terrific sunset

After seeing practically every exotic (on a daily basis over the summer),
I've finally seen a Datsun Roadster in Door County.  What a thrill.

I look forward to meeting you and going for a nice cruise.

Sound like two of Mike and Joy Johnston's fleet. They live near 
Sheboygan. The red one is the one I drove to the Concours d' Elegance in 
Elkhart Lake last weekend.

hi steb, well ive flat towed my 69 2000, probably 3-4,000 miles.
there are 2 things: you cant back up( i guess you knew that).
and, when going from road to parking lot, or parking lot to
road, if there is a slope there, sometimes the steering
wheel, in the roadster, will spin all the way to one  side
and stay.  then, you will find your self pulling a tire screeching
roadster down the road. this only happened to me a couple of
times, and it's obvious, so you just go back and straighten
the wheel out. it only happens at slow speeds, and never
happens when going straight.  you have to allow the
steering wheel to turn a little, so it can follow the tow
car around corners.  so, dont be tempted to tie the
steering wheel down, or to use the steering lock.
also, i agree with tying the two bumper brackets together
with a bar, for ridgidity.(triangulate the tow bar)
  bob smith, ohio
p.s., i just noticed you mentioned the drive shaft. here's
good news, NO, you dont have to disconnect the drive
shaft. its a 5 speed, and it will not hurt it, to flat tow the
car.

It is a '68 2000 from San Diego. It has been re-listed, selling for just over $10,000.

 I recall someone in the past described a hood latch back up release
accessible from under the car for the 1 in 1000 chance that the main latch
release fails.

I know how to do it for the trunk.

Anyone remember how it was done, and with what materials?

Thanks

A straightened coat hanger, snaked thru a firewall grommet, with a
formed 'handle' inside, under the driver's side dash.

Oliver,

I'd put it face down, as Gary suggests, and cut through the backing with a 
box cutter.  I would place it on a piece of plywood, and use another piece 
of plywood (or other straightedge) on top to guide the knife.  You can use a 
heavy-duty scissors to cut curves.

Gary (too)

Subject: [Roadsters] DUH? & the glen
Message-ID: <000501cc4ec6$02e49e10$08adda30$@net>

  The DUH is for me.  At my age I should start writing things down instead
of depending on a fading memory.  Developed a bad miss in the KA24E in my
roadster a few weeks back.  I got lots of suggestions on what the cause
might be and I attacked most of them.  I cleaned all the sensor connections,
cleaned the MAF, replaced the cap & rotor, and while it was in the garage, I
flushed the cooling system.  This left me with an engine that wouldn't idle
and surged when I tried to drive.  Totally frustrated and beginning to
consider sticking a R16 back under the hood, I closed up the garage and
walked away.

  This morning, before the heat index hits 100 again, I went back out to the
garage and took a look under the hood again.  Hmmm, no wires going to the
MAF?  Gee, you think that might cause a problem or two.  Plug the wires back
in and fire it up.  No, still a problem, so I kept looking.  After going
over everything under the hood, TWICE, I found another sensor unplugged and
two hoses disconnected from the intake.  Plugged everything back in, and
gee, it runs just fine.  Amazing how well all the smoke in those wires flows
just fine when you bother to hook them all up!  I think an afternoon ice
cream run is in order today, but not the same way I went two weeks ago!

 

  As for the glen, whose going to the vintage races in September?  I was up
there several years ago with Tom Phelan.  Tom has promised to resurrect his
vintage 2000 race roadster and signed me on for crew again this trip.  I'm
looking forward to seeing some old friends again, and this time driving my
roadster, not a truck!

WHOSE?  How about "who's", as in who is.  Add another DUH under my name!

 

  And Thanks to all that offered help.

  The DUH is for me.  At my age I should start writing things down instead
of depending on a fading memory.  Developed a bad miss in the KA24E in my
roadster a few weeks back.  I got lots of suggestions on what the cause
might be and I attacked most of them.  I cleaned all the sensor connections,
cleaned the MAF, replaced the cap & rotor, and while it was in the garage, I
flushed the cooling system.  This left me with an engine that wouldn't idle
and surged when I tried to drive.  Totally frustrated and beginning to
consider sticking a R16 back under the hood, I closed up the garage and
walked away.

There are also carpet cutting scissors that you can buy at flooring stores or
probably most big box home stores. They have better control and are more
precise than blades if you need that for the project, but a blade might work
just fine.

Paul:

The Glen is on as usual, organized by Elaine Halsted at
Elaine.Halsted at dss.virginia.gov.  As you probably already know, this year
Datsun/Nissan at both the GP Festiaval on Friday as well as at the SVRA
races all weekend.  The Watkins Glen village GP Festival has the Tour de
Marque, Datsun/Nissan this year. There are still spaces left, actually quite
a few.  You can visit http://grandprixfestival.com/marque.html for
information.  This is the 25th Datsun Roadster meet at Watkins Glen,  the
24th Annniversary if you like to count that way.

Good to hear car is running Paul and happy to hear Tom is coming to the
Glen.

Fred  1969 Datsun 2000 , white

Paul,
Look for the red BSR 33 car of Mike Unger .  It's the ex-Dick Tillinger
original BSR 67.5 2000 that Mike brought (is bringing) back to original Sharp
livery.  Take pics and post or send my way.  He's wearing my graphics.  Hope
he gets it done in time.

Have a good time!
