I'm just wondering if anyone on the list knows of any datsun mechanics in the
Phoenix area. I'm mainly looking for a mechanic to deal with engine &
carb/fuel issues. I've taken the cars to some mechanics and they are just lost
with the old school cars.
Thanks.

Well Mr Detail ,
  I only receive a digest version of this forum ,so if you sent a 
separate letter ,I never got it .What I received did NOT have Anything 
that
described your car in ANY detail .

  Your response and subsequent mail is character of why many people such 
as myself do Not involve ourselves in this forum .

  The  year of car I used in the example ,was entirely a guess ,as I 
tried to show how some posts to this group would make you have to be a 
mind reader .

Sorry to respond to what was lack of info to the Digest group on this 
list .

  BTW , I never got a so-called complete mail sent to me , maybe others 
had the same problem ......
  Good luck !

Subject: [Roadsters] stuck in reverse
Message-ID: <2C7D5F925D5A45479DB64A0A1B780A4C@owner4d7e0adce>

Hi

I had been having trouble with my 66 roadster. Sometimes it would be hard to
shift into any gear from neutral. It wouldn't even move to the right of 3rd
and 4th gear when trying to put it in reverse. I would jiggle the shift stick
around awhile, and then I could get it to pop over and down into reverse, and
after that, be able to shift normally.

Now though, it's stuck in reverse with the stick shifter in the neutral
position. No amount of "jiggling" will "fix" it.

Two questions; Does anyone know what the problem could be, and does it require
pulling the tranny to fix.

Thanks,
Larry B

Message-ID: <1432A0C924F7ED439A95685850281F660581EE@XMBC3087.northgrum.com>

Went to a local car show (Irvine, Ca) this weekend, and it was Mercedes day,
so opportunity for the "original gullwing end to end with the modern version"
picture.
Few Datsuns (I missed the 510 seen in the pics, but caught up with Harry in
his 620, who used to be known as the "A series roadster guy").

I did finally find the only Lambo that I'd ever care to own (and no, it
doesn't have those doors).  Absolutely gorgeous.

I'd guess derived from same design house as Volvo P1800, although headlites

And then the obligatory example of "just because we can doesn't mean we
should".

Subject: [Roadsters] 2Q's. Which Chevy water pump pulley and what Crank
 Pulley Oil seals?
Message-ID: <010e01cc245f$482a8160$d87f8420$@cox.net>

Replacing the stock 1600 water pump pulley with a Chevy version, what model
& year do I get?
Apparently this is the preferred method to enable a fatter belt.
I've got a 280-Z Alternator & a new Rebello (L24-L28) Crank Pulley, both of
which want a bigger belt than my stock 1600 can tolerate.
A spiffy Aluminum pulley would add speed just by looking at it.  :)

Also the Rebello Pulley has the same ID as my Roadster crank, but needs a
larger ID oil seal to accommodate the Z-sized seal landing.
I roughly measured the stock seal OD at 2.7" the old ID was 1.7XXX", the New
ID needs to be ~1.90".
Someone must have been done this before.

Thanks,

I simply delete the annoying LinkedIn E-mails, and block the senders from 
sending future E-mails.  I miss some correspondence from the List, but it 
eliminates those who are not very circumspect about the c___ they publish. 
(I have quite a list of List people whose addresses are blocked.)

Dang, you're right! There was _something_ about that picture that
wasn't right...

I'm guessing the Chicago winters had something to do with the
need to relocate the hinges... And I don't see a front hood latch,
so I'm guessing a bungee cord is included...

picking up a '72 510 wagon saturday, has twin Mikunis, ZX 5spd, ZX front
brakes, Shelby American Libre style wheels...body is paint ready, it's like a
kit car- PO had collected up new and super nice parts for it for years,
literally around $4k spent on stuff for it. it's available if anyone's
interested, contact me offlist. also have an '81 Diesel Rabbit if someone's
looking for a 45-50mpg car, 80k original miles and as clean an original
survivor Rabbit that age as you'd likely ever find. it's basically immaculate,
sunroof and cold A/C too! figured I'd offer to my friends on the list first in
case it's on your list of cars you'd like to own and drive to save $$ I'd
probably keep it if I didn't live in the mountains, and these are not known to
be speed demons...will be putting it on ebay in a week or so if not already
spoken for. I'm finally going to start scrapping some of my parts roadsters,
some with steering/suspension/differentials/dash and gauges still in them.
last chance to buy, will sell for scrap prices if you're interested. I'm about
75 miles west of DC out in the Shenandoah valley Virginia. still have all
sorts of good project roadsters available including a couple 67.5 2000's, a
35k original mile early 67 1600, a 79k original mile 69 2000, serial number
00003 1500, the only prototype 1500 roadster known in existence with
documentation from Nissan, and.....others ;-) I'd rather see the parts cars go
to someone who will use the parts than just off to get crushed but they need
to go.

Larry,
I think you may have broken a roll pin that holds the fork on the shift rod.
It may still engage other gears, but the shift fork on the reverse gear may 
be in reverse when it broke.
It could explain why the shift lever moves to neutral but not disengage 
reverse.
Steve

Tim,

Amidst all the E-mail traffic on this one, I forgot to mention I think it 
was offered for sale a year ago.  At the time, the seller said he had to get 
it out of where it was or junk it.  I was going to go look at it, but 
couldn't get there before his deadline.  No interest now, though.

If someone is interested in the car, and Bill's wife won't let him go, I'll 
try to take a look.

Gary

Usually that is a sign of the brake pedal rod being too long. It does not let
the mc release. Next time it happens pull the brake pedal towards the rear of
the car and see if it pops back

This happened to someone else a few years ago and his rear brakes were too
tight and when they got hot it put pressure on the system.

  hi paul,  first, ck. the rear brks. for the shoes being adj. too tight. the
rear wheels should
turn easily, with a slight drag. then, have some one  apply the brakes, and
see if they
(frt. and rear) turn easily, as soon as the brks. are released.( you are cking
for calipers
dragging, wheel cyl. sticking, or brake hoses restricted). you can jack up one
side
of the car, and ck each of those wheels,on one side, at a time
   next, ck. the rod going from the master cyl.(bmc) and make sure, when you
first move
the brake pedal a little, that there is a tiny bit of free play. in other
words, make sure
the brk. pedal isnt pre- loading the bmc. if it has no free play, then as the
car and
brks warm up, its like  some one is riding the brk pedal.  if all seems ok,
then
you need to remove the bmc, and rebuild it or replace it. btw, im assuming
there is no brake booster.

Richard,
Your a PE (professional engineer) and you can't figure out how to remove your
name from a list? And we are the idiots? So what's in your resume. The Hyatt
bridge? New Orleans levies? Or maybe you design blow out valves on Gulf oil
rigs.
?
Your email was rude. If you don't want to be on the list figure it out.

Message-ID: <1bcc4.6af8e2fa.3b25f7ad@aol.com>

Make sure you have free play in the brake petal. If the push rod is  
adjusted so that the piston in the master is slightly pushed in the return port  
will be covered. As the brake fluid warms from driving it will have no place 
to  go and will begin to engage the brakes. I have heard of cars that would 
lock the  brakes after driving a few miles from this problem.

Bravo! (sorry,rICHARD, but you were needlessly rude and Dave nailed you quite well....<grin> YOU signed yourself up, not us. Apply that trained mind to the problem, iDIOT.)

Having "educated" several PEs in the past on how to do relatively simple hydraulic pump engineering calculations, and found them no better than the average mechanic, and often worse, I am not impressed by suffixes. The ability to get a degree or pass an exam and the ability to actually do something have little to do with one another, in my experience. We'll not venture into politics, OK?

What degrees did Edison have? Henry Ford? Marconi? Fulton? Bill Gates? Think of 10 famous successful people ( I mean productive people) and tell me where they got their skills from..... Born ability and experience. A good mentor helps, as does education - but neither are necessary, even today.

I never graduated college, it wasn't for me - but I do own and run a $12 million dollar manufacturing business and hold 8 patents. Not bragging, just enjoying a bit of fun at rICHARD's expense, so I have to back it up.....

<GRIN> We're not the iDIOTS, Mr Big ego, you are. I find this group to be, for the greater part, good, decent and intelligent people. We all have our moments, and we all can be idiots sometimes - case in point, rICHARD P.E.!

Subject: [Roadsters] Volvo brake system problem
Message-ID: <271678.35853.qm@web65801.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

Often with a non-stock brake conversion, the pushrod from pedal to master
cylinder needs to be shortened.  What happens is that the pushrod is just a
bit too long, and puts a small bit of pressure on the master cylinder.  This
starts a feedback loop with the hydraulics where the brakes start
self-engaging, more and more, sometimes until the car won't move.  This
happened when we converted my brother's 67 Camaro from drum to disc brakes.
 The original drum pushrod needed to be replaced with the disc brake one. Once
we put the disc spec piece in, the problem was cured.  Good luck.

Hi Everyone,
My brakes stay engaged after 5-10 minutes of driving.  For some reason the
brakes stay enaged enough to slow the car down some.
This problem has been occuring for the past few years now.

I welcome ANY ideas on how to resolve this problem.  I have a 280z brake
master cylinder with volvo brake calipers in the front with standard brake
wheel cylinders in the rear.

Thanks,

Basically there were some serious problems with some of the 64 lists
managed with the Mailman program at autox.team.net.  A power bump
and a bad UPS trashed a lot of active files on the server and did not
allow for a clean shutdown.  This list for example, came back up with the
membership database being the list of posts to the shotimes list being
held for moderator approval.

Over the last little while I've been trying to piece together various
saved copies and archives of the list membership, but it isn't perfect.
Some addresses that were unsubscribed over the last few years may have
made it back on, some that were recently subscribed are not included.

So yes, things are still a bit messed up for some, I do apologize.
At least the basic list is back up and running.

Probably over two grand, if you have all the linkage and accessories including
the air cleaner assembly. Which would be a great investment, the way the U.S.

Fergus,

I remember seeing ads for moonroofs which could be installed in removable 
hardtops back in the day.  (Yes, I remember when gas was $0.30 a gallon --  
premium -- the only stuff our '63 Olds Super 88 would run on.)

 hi keith, im working on a 69 2000, that belongs to a friend.
it idles, ok, and pulls resonably well, from idle to 6k rpm.
the problem is, part throttle cruising at 2.5k--3k rpm.
it sounds like the engine is missing a little, and the throttle
response is kind of flat.   3200-3500 rpm or above, the throttle
responds better, more like MY roadster. fuel press. is 4-4.5 lbs.

 p.s. i changed the cam timing, when i first had this

the cam forward 1 toothe, and now it is just a fraction on
the advance side, much closer to being correct, than before.
 the engine seemed  to pull better in the lower rpm range,

Hi,

I have 6 "stock" steel wheels. I've heard they came in both 4" and 4.5" 
widths and that the 4.5" wheels are stamped with a mark to identify them. 
Does anyone know what the mark is and where on the wheel it is located?

Thanks,

Hello Bob,
 
    It sounds like it is running a bit lean in the mid  range. Try raising 
the engine speed to 2500 and setting the mixture there. A  quick test would 
be to cruise at 2500 and pull the choke out just a little. I  normally set 
the carb mixture at 2500 and let the idle take care of it's self.  If the mid 
range is good and the idle is rich you can set the needles out a few  
thousandths of an inch. While this does have some effect overall it effects idle  
primarily.

Hello all,
 
    I had a great time at Solvang, I am looking forward  to tuning more 
carbs at Shasta and once again making ice cream for everyone.  John (yellow 2L 
with solex carbs) and I got together and set up a live streaming  video

out at _www.c5-tnr.org_ (http://www.c5-tnr.org)  . It is being  slow but the 
C5 organization is maturing and coming together giving me a little  more time 
to get back to carbs.

I agree, Setting mixture at idle is not ideal. I set both air balance and
mixture at 2500-3000 rpm.

Message-ID: <COL106-W5755591CECAC6385685517AA6D0@phx.gbl>

My '66 began overheating with a lot of steam coming out of the heater core. I
assume I have to replace the core, correct? And none of my service manuals
describe how to remove and install the core. Is this a big pain to do? Does
the core just pull out, or do I have to yank a bunch of other items before I
can remove it? I also assume I have to remove the box that the core sits
inside of. Is that correct? That's the box the dash heater control is attached
to. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

I have done this a long time ago on my 66. Replacing the core is relatively
easy. Getting the heater box out of the roadster is a pain. Once you
disconnect all the stuff in the way (under the dash and at the engine
compartment firewall), the rest is easy. While I was at it, I cleaned up the
box and parts and repainted them, and replaced the valve at the engine
compartment.

I bought a new core from one of the vendors, believe it was Dean Apostal of
southern California - www.datsunparts.com

The core was a newly manufactured replacement that was slightly different,
with a different insulating foam. Once I got the heater box out of the
roadster, it was easy to pull the old core out, and the new core fit
perfectly. I don't know if new cores are still available. I bought this over
ten years ago. And my heater still works perfectly to this day. If new cores
are no longer available, you can probably get the old one re-cored at a
radiator shop.

I found the core listed at Dean's site www.datsunparts.com as part 1719 for
$266. Again, don't know if it is still available. Probably is, and the price
is probably several times what I paid over ten years ago but everything has
gone up in price year after year.

Like they say, it would be nice to know then what you know now. Then you could
have bought a dozen and held onto them for selling later! I have friends with
stamp and coin collections from that period and they haven't gone up much in
value. Roadster parts as an investment, who knew?

BTW, I'll be parting out a couple of my spare roadsters soon as part of my
retirement plan (actually, the wife is after me to de-clutter.)

How does everyone adjust their valves.  Hot or Cold ?

Cold engine: Intake 10 thousands and 12 thousands exhaust ?
 
I am hearing never adjust cold. 
I am also hearing engines that are rebuilt have different settings.

  Buy a good set of mechanics gloves and set the valves HOT!  The only time
we set valves cold is to get close on a new rebuild.

I just took my heater core to a rad shop and had it tested.  I didn't know 
if mine was good at the time or not.  I was just doing restoration stuff and 
it tested okay.  I would see if a rad shop could fix it.  Larry.

Paul,

Hot.  1600s and 2000s have different settings:

    1600:  Intake      0.017"
               Exhaust:   0.017"

    2000:  Intake      0.008"
               Exhaust:   0.012"

Better to be a little loose than a little tight, especially on the exhaust.

 hi paul, hot is the best, but you need to finish adj.  in 20-30 min. max.
the reason being, the clearance starts to change as the engine cools.
 if you take too long, the last valves adj. will be looser.

  best of luck    bob smith, ohio

   btw, cold engine(u-20) is .006 int.,.010 exh.,
 and, i dont think that a reb. eng. has diff. valve settings, unless
 the cam is after market, reground, and the manufacturer specifies
 a diff. clearance.

Bob,

The specs below are from the Nissan factory manual, FWIW.

    1600:  Intake      0.017"
               Exhaust:   0.017"

    2000:  Intake      0.008"
               Exhaust:   0.012"

A little background...
The clearance values in the manual are based on OE equipment and design, the
associated coefficient of linear expansion of engine components and the valve
opening/closing duration.  You'll see in most engine applications the exhaust
valve clearance is greater because it usually gets hotter than the intake and
in turn grows in length more than the intake. Theoretically, if duration was
not being factored, the hot adjusted valve clearances would be the same for
both intake and exhaust.  When you replace OE components with newer or
different technologies the material is different and so is it's coefficient of
linear expansion.  No worries though since these different expansion
properties would be negligent unless you replacing a steel valve with one made
from vinyl siding.

I no longer run SU's but never got a definitive answer on this in the past so I thought I'd bring it up again. Some of you may want know. I frequently see advertised N17 as non smog needles. So was there ever a smog needle? Inquiring minds want to know. In the past when I fiddled with SU's I remember buying a set of N25 from Dean. He never came out to say that they were infact smog needles, just that they would perform better for my stock U20. Was there any needle ever offered from the factory other than n17 stock?

hi james, amen, brother. ive found that over head cam, valve clearances
increase as engine gets hotter. but over head valve eng. clearances de-
crease as the eng. gets hotter.  bob smith, ohio

Tom,

According to my Nissan parts book, N-25s were used in NAIS-equipped cars, 
and N-17s were used in pre-emissions controlled cars.  I run N-17s in my '69 
U20 from which I removed the NAIS system in 1972.

The complete NAIS system, including a working fan clutch, has been stored in 
a box since 1972.  The engine had about 20,000 miles on it when I removed 
the system prior to transplanting the motor into my '66 1600.  I suppose 
it's time to put the system on eBay.

What other brake cylinders will work on a roadster.

I remember a Datsun 1200? cylinders will work just have a different 
bleeder angle?

Any part numbers would be great

See you in Shasta if you can make it!

  The stock Nabco rear slave cylinders should be available at any local
parts store, and a good Nissan dealer.  They were used on all kinds of cars
in the 60's & 70's and into the 80's.  I got mine from a friendly Nissan
dealer.  Later I found out NAPA carried them for less.

Subject: [Roadsters] battery not charging
Message-ID: <45ddcacf.df8d9.130b4e269f7.Webtop.45@charter.net>

First off: I am an electrickery novice. Big time.

This is a new condition this spring: 70 1600 w/ gm alternator upgrade 
done three or four years ago. Alt is putting out over 12 volts at 600 
rpm idle; more at higher rpm. Battery is over 12 volts once charged with 
battery charger. But car won't start if battery does not have most of a 
fresh charge from the charger. Amp meter will go into the negative if I 
turn on the head lights but never goes into the positive any more.

Is this my regulator going (gone) bad? How do I test it?

Thanks

Tim

If you see the battery terminal voltage increase with revs. to ~13.8 - 
14.2 then the alternator and Voltage Regulator may be OK.
If the battery still lacks power to crank the engine then I would 
suspect the battery as faulty.
Can you swap for a different battery to verify.
If the engine is not running [i.e. not charging] turning on the 
headlights will cause the ammeter to go negative [i.e. discharge from 
battery]
If the engine is running, when turning on the headlights you should see 
a momentary dip of the ammeter needle to zero from +, then the needle 
should recover to the + side to indicate charging.

Cattery seems good because it charges up on a charger.  Alt doesn't charge  
the battery and doesn't supply enough amps to run the engine and  
headlights together.

Bad diode in the alt is my guess.

Best, wes

"If the battery still lacks power to crank the engine then I would 
suspect the battery as faulty."

The battery does take a full charge from a battery charger.

"If you see the battery terminal voltage increase with revs"

Well, I did manage to NOT test the battery at higher rpms so I don't 
know if it this or not. I will check this when I get home.

"If the engine is running, when turning on the headlights you should see 
a momentary dip of the ammeter needle to zero from +, then the needle 
should recover to the + side to indicate charging."

The ammeter does not go + after turning on the headlights in the 
situation. It does dip negative, but only goes back to center, not to 
the positive side like it used to.

Thanks

OK, assuming the battery is good, it appears that the Charging System is 
not performing correctly.
If the ammeter needle fails to get back into the + side then either the 
alternator output is low or the Voltage Regulator is not signaling the 
Alternator to increase output to compensate for the higher load.
Does the system use an external VR or is it integral to the alternator?
A competent Auto battery shop should be able to determine which is at fault.

It might be as simple as worn alternator brushes.
When worn, the brushes lose the spring tension required to keep them in 
good contact with the commutator in the alternator.
The result is the brushes become high resistance and don't feed the 
increased exciter current to the rotor.
Without that happening, the output doesn't follow the increased 
electrical load.

I would still try another battery if possible, just to eliminate that 
possibility;-)

Sounds like several issues:

1. Battery only gets fully charged by external battery charger, not by
alternator.

2. Ammeter never goes positive with headlights on.

3. Car will not start unless battery at full charge.

Troubleshooting is same for all three: Test alternator, battery, and
double-check wiring & grounds (always check those pesky grounds). The GM alt
has an internal voltage regulator. You can have it tested at your FLAPS or
an automotive electrical repair place. Got a known, good spare battery? Swap
'em out.

More exact voltages would help, i.e. at idle (800-1000 rpm) the output is
12.43v, at 3500 rpm it's 14.5v, etc. 

What does battery read fully charged?

How old is the battery?

Webers are infinitely misadjustable, just like the Solex carbs. They  can 
be set up to run very well with good economy. However, be prepared to put a  
fair amount on time into getting them sorted out if it hasn't been done.

OK....

Fully charged battery was at 13.20 right after the little green light 
came on so the charge could not get any fresher.

Cold engine (if it matters) @ 550 rpm the battery was 12.74 and the alt 
was 12.20-12.50

Warm engine (again, if it matters) @ 1000 rpm battery was 12.58, alt was 
16.2-16.4
                                                   @ 3000 rpm battery 
was 12.56, alt was 15.7 ish
                       after returning service screw to idle: @ 600rpm 
battery was 12.60, alt was 12.6-13.10

Do these numbers look correct?

I will check the grounds this weekend and also have the battery load 
tested.

Thoughts please?

Thanks!

Tim

I don't like the difference in voltage between battery and alternator!
There must be a fault in the wiring to have the voltage drop you see.
I am assuming that you are reading the two ends of the same cable?

Where are you located ? I may know where there is one for sale in MA . I 
need to contact the owner and see if it has been sold  (actually I was 
supposed to do that last week )

It's a red 2000 w'Mikuni Solex carbs , forged piston , aluminum flywheel 
, hotter cam ,  built and balanced engine , 5 speed , 4 wheel disc 
brakes with functional e-brake , roll bar , Revolution wheels , comp 
sway bars , Konig seats ,  Nissan/Bosch fog lamps etc . It was built  , 
for the boss/owner , in the early 90's by the shop foreman and Body shop 
of one of New England's most prominent and successful Nissan dealers . 
Believe me , no expense was spared .

I will follow up on it's current status .

thanks,

It looks like the alternator is working but the current is not getting to  
the battery. The battery voltage should go up when the alternator voltage 
goes  up. The most likely problem is the wire from the alternator to the 
battery. If  it goes through the amp gauge then the gauge may be bad. The gauge 
is the first  thing to burn out if the system is overloaded, a very expensive 
fuse.

Tim,

Engine hot or cold does not matter when testing your alternator.  Once the
engine reaches 1000-1500 RPM (depending upon how the excitation field is
wired - or not wired) alternator goes into the charge mode. You should see
about around 13.6-14 volts or so, across the battery terminals.  The voltage
at the alternator may be slightly higher depending upon how much voltage
loss is in the wiring between the alternator and battery.

If you are using the original wiring arrangement, which goes from the
alternator, to the ammeter on the dash, and then back to the battery the
alternator voltage will be slightly higher than the battery because of
voltage loss in the wiring between the alternator and battery.  Since you
say the ammeter goes slightly negative when you turn the headlights on I
would not start with a burnt out ammeter.  If it were burnt out I would not
expect to see the needle move at all.....  BUT when the KISS theory begins
to fall apart keep the ammeter or wiring between the alternator and battery
in mind.  A little resistance from a bad connection can cause headaches in
the charging circuit.  If that is the problem you might find a warm (HOT)
connection somewhere in this circuit because power loss equals heat.

In my case the GM alternator is connected directly to the battery, bypassing
the ammeter.  There is still some ammeter movement, but it is very small and
usually only visible when the headlights are on.

One thing I did not see in your notes is what the battery voltage does after
disconnecting the external charger and letting the battery sit for a while.
If there is a bad cell in the battery the voltage at the terminals may drop
a volt or so from the 11.5 - 12 volts you might see on a good battery to
around 10 volts after not being charged for a while.  A bad cell in the
battery may also cause the engine to turn over slow, or not at all, after
only a short time off of a charging source.  Bill Cole once came to my
rescue when I fuelled a car near his home.  In the time it took to put gas
in the tank the battery would not turn the starter over.  I drove the car 75
miles home at night without any problems and a new battery was installed the
next day.  Thank you Bill.

Having the battery load tested is a good move.  If your battery has a bad
cell or other problems they will show up on the tester.  Many auto parts
stores are able to test the alternator for you if the battery is in good
condition.

All,

Does anyone have an suggestions for seats that both look okay and offer either
a single or dual shoulder strap.  My wife's finally convinced me that given
how light the Datsun is (and how heavy most other cars are), even a low-speed
rear-ender could be a neck and back ender if I don't have a something more
than the standard issue lap belt.

I know this has been a frequent topic of conversation, but I figured I'd ask
again and see what people's latest thinking is.

You need to mount the shoulder strap properly or spine compression becomes an
issue. With stock/aftermarket seats, the only effective way I've seen this is
work is through the use of a rollbar with a harness bar for the shoulder
straps. Alternatively you can run the shoulder strap like a common 3-point
restraint with the mount on the upright of the rollbar.shoulder bolt:With

Kelsey and I have updated our photo album with pictures of our Roadster and
progress on the KA24DE conversion. Its getting HOT here in Mesa, we are in
the 100 and low to mid teens. Our humid stormy season is just around the
corner so we are putting the car away until weather cools again and we have
some more $ saved up. 

Many thanks to those in the Roadster community who have shown encouragement,
have shared their experiences with the car itself and the conversion and in
some cases even donated some parts to the project. You folks are nothing
short of great. It is with that knowledge that helped us get us where we are
currently at without having to do it over several times to get it right.

Rest assured, slow and steady will get it done. 

Thank you,

Message-ID: <1432A0C924F7ED439A95685850281F66068AB2@XMBC3087.northgrum.com>

Headed to Stockton (to NorCal from SoCal) Friday 7/1, (then up to Lake Tahoe
next day) back from there 7/10 (estimated) if anyone has parts needing
transport.  Plenty of room for them to sit in Stockton until you are ready for
pickup, within reason.

Preferably of the small but heavy, and not of the greasy/smelly variety.
Car starts getting packed this Wednesday or so, so speak now or forever hold
your peace.

Message-ID: <ccba4b75b951dbab67d709f10e28669d.squirrel@webmail.sonic.net>

Hi, Roadsterites!

I've acquired a compact spare for an Acura off freecycle.  The tire height
is perfect and it has a very deep offset, so I think it will clear the
brake lines and all.  BUT the wheel is one inch in diameter less than the
Roadster!

Opinions on if this baby will work or not?

Thanks!

Also check the center hole. It may work on the rear tire but not the front. Different diameter shouldn't hurt for short distances.

As long as the TYRE height is the same, the rim/wheel diameter is of no 
consequence with respect to driving:-)
However clearance is another issue

All,

Can anyone recommend a good brakes and suspension guy in the SF area.  I've got an intermittent "clunk" under heavy braking I don't like and can't diagnose and I think I'd better turn it over to a professional before that "clunk" is followed by something worse.  Need someone good because the whole rear end of the car shows the hallmarks of a more-ambition-than-brains re-engineering job.

No they are just painted on but the number is stamped. You could get the
template and then print a clear shipping label of the correct size then stick
it to the plate. When it gets worn, repeat.

That looks like a high windshield car to me, not a 1966. Anybody know the car?

  Dual master cylinder, padded dash, mirror on the windshield header instead
of the dash?  Definitely a late model roadster!

Special characters don't come through well. That should have been: "Im not very known this car..."

  WOW! $30.  I think I'll get by without a new one.  $30 is about 9 gallons
of gas or 175 miles of fun driving.

  A few years back I was cleaning up under the hood and managed to wipe all

Maybe there was more info on the listing page before the vehicle sold, but if not, it 
seems to me that what was there was not much to go on to buy a car -- esp. a 42-year old 
car -- sight unseen! More power to the seller, but yikes!

Message-ID: <003901cc3689$a2995900$e7cc0b00$@net>

  I always wondered if  popping the hood on the roadster would allow air
from under the hood to escape, or was there a high pressure area at the base
of the windshield that would force air back under the hood.  Not sure what
would happen with a stock roadster, R16 or U20, but with a KA24E and 5
speed, the threads I taped to the back edge of the hood were sucked in under
the hood at speeds over 35 mph.  So much for helping to cool the KA.

  But I did get a nice ride out of the experiment!

I was wondering that to. Maybe if I check the listing again once I get home I
will see. Can't access eBay from work -- it's blocked, thanks to a (former)
employee who spent a wee bit too much time running a side business selling
model train stuff during work hours...

My guess is he put BRE in the title to catch someone that might search for
that term, the same way he put Nissan in the title.  looks like a very nice
car, I don't get why people are picking it apart....

I think people just put in tags like that so someone doing a search on "BRE"
will get a hit on their ad. I didn't see anything in the description of the
car that indicated any BRE components.

I was wondering that to. Maybe if I check the listing again once I get home I
will see. Can't access eBay from work -- it's blocked, thanks to a (former)
employee who spent a wee bit too much time running a side business selling
model train stuff during work hours...

Wonder what's the BRE component on it.

Message-ID: <85859.5c418332.3b3dccfa@aol.com>

I'm not sure about the roadster but we drove my friends Spitfire to the  
paint shop with no hood latches. As you recall it hinges at the front. At 
about  60 the hood raised up somewhat impeding visibility.

I  always wondered if  popping the hood on the roadster would allow  air
from under the hood to escape, or was there a high pressure area at the  
base
of the windshield that would force air back under the hood.  Not  sure what
would happen with a stock roadster, R16 or U20, but with a KA24E  and 5
speed, the threads I taped to the back edge of the hood were sucked  in 
under
the hood at speeds over 35 mph.  So much for helping to cool  the KA.

But I did get a nice ride out of the  experiment!

I am looking for a U20 crankshaft to replace the cracked one in my 2000 race car.  Any words of wisdom regarding use of the H20 crank as an alternative to the U20 crank is also appreciated.  TIA for your help.  Dewey

Subject: [Roadsters] 150 hp engine for sale
Message-ID: <1309478552.96724.YahooMailClassic@web121405.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

Hi all, the following is from my Ebay listing. This is the engine I got 3
years ago when I bought my 69 2k down in Houston. It would not get over 100
mph, and it turned out the front two cylinders only had 80 lb compression, the
result of a stuck from choke cable.  Yeah, I got skunked by the seller, who
said it was in good condition. Maybe he didn't know better?
As you can see, it is completely with air cleaner and linkage and I was told
the cam is the 150 hp one, and I'm sure it is. It ran well. I bought a used
engine from Carl H and rebuilt it as a 135 hp, I like that setup. 
I also have the 5 spped for sale if anyone is interested.

Datsun SRL 311 Roadster 2000 engine hitachi solex
1969 Datsun (Nissan) SRL-311 2000cc 150 hp hi performance factory roadster
engine. This is the hot setup racing engine, the highest performance Roadster
engine ever made. Overhead cam, dual Solex/Hitachi (like Weber) carbs, hi
performance cam, . This was a running engine in a SRL 311 2000 (2 liter)
roadster.
It is missing only the distributor, dipstick and oil filler cap, which I moved
to my rebuilt engine. I did not disassemble the engine in any way.
I removed the engine from a running car 3 years ago, and it has been stored
indoors since then covered. The reason I removed it was that it simply would
not get it over 100 mph and the problem proved to be low compression on the
front two cylinders. I discovered the cause, the cable operating the front
choke was misadjusted and the front choke was always on. All that extra gas
reduced the lubrication on the piston rings and it lost compression. At a
minimum, the engine needs new rings, but it is possible that it should be
bored out and the next size larger pistons installed. I don't know the
condition otherwise, but it didn't make any unusual noises or have any
problems other than a lack of proper horsepower.
I am not sure how many miles are on the engine, the car had 65,000 miles when
I bought
it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=16061270494
