I have a 1970 datsun spl311 and the heater does not work. I need the
following information:
1. Which way do I turn the off/on water toggle that is located behind the
engine.
2. Is there a way to plug the small water pipe located next to the big
water pipe coming off the water pump.

Domingo,

I haven't looked closely at one of those in a while, but quarter-turn valves 
are always (as far as I have ever seen) open when the handle is parallel to 
the direction of flow.

I think you do not want to plug the small line.  I believe the line 
circulates water through the intake manifold to the head.

The list won't see the attached pic. but you should see an "H" stamped 
on the vertical pipe.
When the tap is turned into that vertical position, the heater is 
supplied coolant from the engine.
The pic. shows the tap in the horizontal position.
This position bypasses the heater core.
If you plug that small water connection you will disable the manifold 
coolant circuit as well as the heater.
The manifold is heated to avoid the possibility of the throttle icing up 
in humid climates.
Nothing worse than a throttle plates wide open and iced up, the 
sphincter will react badly!

I used to run water injection on my high compression '71 Toyota so that I 
could avoid the cost of premium fuel.  I had one of those "brown stripe" 
experiences... It's worth avoiding.

Subject: [Roadsters] re-launch of Datsun
Message-ID: <SNT141-W38EA155ABBBDFE03FD4703F06D0@phx.gbl>

FYI TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Nissan Motor Co. (7201.TO) is considering adding a
third brand to its Nissan and Infiniti badges by reviving its iconic Datsun
brand, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.   The Japanese car maker
is actively "studying" the re-launch of Datsun, which it retired as a
sub-brand in 1983, as it looks to target the fastest-growing emerging markets
over the next five years with a range of low cost vehicles, the person said.
Details of the new marketing effort remain sketchy and it is unclear which
markets are in line for a resuscitated Datsun, a brand first introduced in
1932 and perhaps best known among former loyalists in the U.S. and U.K.
markets.   Nissan would not confirm or deny such plans. A company spokesman,
Mitsuru Yonekawa, declined to comment on future product strategy.   The No. 2
Japanese auto maker by sales volume is preparing to re-launch the brand by
2014 and sell up to 300,000 Datsun-badged vehicles a year, each priced around
Y500,000 ($6,173), according to a report in the Friday morning edition of the
Nikkei.   Reintroducing Datsun could better position Nissan for an aggressive
move into the ultra low-cost car segment globally without tarnishing the image
of its middle market Nissan and upscale Infiniti vehicles.   The Japanese car
maker announced last June that it wants to grab an 8% global market share by
the end of March 2017 as part of a six-year business plan, up from 5.8% in the
fiscal year ended March 2011.   Nissan is counting on much of that growth to
come from China, India and other emerging economies with low per capita GDP.

This ought to add at least $10k to the recent $33k/$38k fair market

Interesting. They appear to be following the Toyota structure: 

Lexus = Infiniti 
Toyota = Nissan 
Scion = Datsun 

If they're smart, they'll include something that is performance-oriented and affordable in the line, in the spirit of the 1st-gen Sentra SE-R. 

It seems like Nissan has lost its way or abandoned the concept of affordable sportiness. My wife test-drove a Versa and almost laughed out loud at how totally gutless it was. And you can't get a stick in the Maxima at all anymore. I'd like to get back into autocrossing a bit, but they don't make a damn thing that might be competitive except the Z, and I can't afford one.

Gordon,

I think PD said that tongue-in-cheek, at least I hope so.  I decided to give 
him the benfit of the doubt.

Let's see if Craig takes offense.  Anyone who has seen photos of his home

Gordon,

I think PD said that tongue-in-cheek, at least I hope so.  I decided to give
him the benfit of the doubt.

Let's see if Craig takes offense.  Anyone who has seen photos of his home

First, I did not identify anyone or a way to contact anyone.

Second: I did not say that anyone had done anything wrong.  Based on the
responses from the crowd they apparently don't think that anyone did something
wrong.

Third: Everything I said was true and factual and could be expanded.

Fourth: It seems that some think that the list is a mechanism to do business
on items that are not related to roadsters.

Fifth: I was meant to be fun and too bad that the fool in Washington couldn't
get it.

Gordon: You seem to think that you are the self appointed list controller.
You must think that you know everything or try to make people think that you
know everything because there was no way to identify the person that was
referred to.  Some of your additional all knowing information must have been
included for you to tell someone to "go".  You should go hug another tree and
deal with your own "bullshit" as you said.  You must also think that your shit
doesn't stink.  Based on Craigs reply you are sooooooooooooooo wrong.

Here is Craigs reply:
"btw- sold 2 El Caminos and a TR6 last week, bought a 50 GMC pickup a couple
nights ago. was a fun and productive week :-)  someone already bought the
Maxima this morning
Craig"

Others thought it was hilarious.

Finally got around to looking through the April issue of Hot Rod.
Surprised, and pleased to see a half page shot on the Monise 2000 included
in an interview with Adam Corolla, but disappointed that it's a fairly low
resolution picture. In the interview, Corolla talks about having a pair of
Paul Newman 300ZXs and PLN's '72 510.

Guess they don't bump-draft (or they do, but it doesn't matter when you

hi all, i think i might like to live in a junk yard, as i sure enjoy going
"junking"

for old cars and parts.--- as long as it was an import junk yard. say craig,
have

you ever been to blondie pilson's(sp?) old yard in va. he has(or had) rows

of old american cars  starting with the early 1900's. i remember seeing

an old lincoln zepher(sp?) frame, with the V-16 eng. still there. i had some

fun times when i lived there in the early 80's. sorry for the OT. i guess

when you get older, you like to ramble,on and on, and on.

                                              bob smith, ohio
p.s. wait, i had my datsun then, i think i remember seeing an old spl 311
there,

Looks like PD's email is originating out of Manassas, VA.   Maybe someone
can help figure out who it is.  

In the meantime, I've copied Mark Bradakis--maybe he can consider removing
PD from the list.

There is a guy in Virginia that advertises in Hemmings that buys all kinds
of old cars and flips them on a regular basis.  Someone said he lives in a
junkyard. You could ask him.

Upon further inspection, I think it's coming out of Los Angeles.  (I put in
the IP from my own email, who's based out of Manassas).   I'm sure there's
someone out there better at this than I am that can dig into it.

Looks like PD's email is originating out of Manassas, VA.   Maybe someone
can help figure out who it is.  

In the meantime, I've copied Mark Bradakis--maybe he can consider removing
PD from the list.

There is a guy in Virginia that advertises in Hemmings that buys all kinds
of old cars and flips them on a regular basis.  Someone said he lives in a
junkyard. You could ask him.

Being a hoarder of Roadster parts is smart. Just think of the money you save
with some nice suspension parts saved, like ball joints for instance. LOL

I need help with the wiring route for the reverse light.  I see the wire
coming off the fusebox through the firewall.  I have not been able to trace it
beyond that.  I am assuming that it drops down to the transmission tunnel and
then back up before heading to the rear end with the other tail light wiring. 
When I bought the car it was not connected at the transmission, and I don't
see any wire in the transmission tunnel to connect.  Thanks in advance for any
advice.

I had a similar problem with my 67 1600 and elected to run new wires.  I ran a
hot off the fuse box wire and fished it down thru the tunnel to the switch on
the tranny (mine has 2 blade type connectors, connect it to either one).  I
then ran a new wire as neat as possible ( I followed the brake line) from the
other blade connector  back to the reverse light.  Works great.

Alan,

Your assumption is correct.

If you see one "...wire coming off the fuse box through the firewall...", 
you should see a second.  Both are "red/black" -- red wires with a black 
stripes.  There should be a paired connector about even with the side of the 
inner fender just above the frame.  One lead will show +12V with the 
ignition switch on.  The other goes back through the harness to the reverse 
lamp.  Both my cars (a '66 1600/U20 and a '67-1/2 2000) have a two-wire lead 
in a plastic sheath which goes from the connectors beneath the fuse box over 
the top of the trans to the reverse lamp switch on the RH side of the trans.

Gary

Message-ID: <20120309081103.7C4602E079@bradakis.com>

Team.Net has been around a while.  People join, people leave,
an ebb and flow of enthusiasts over the years.  Some leave a
mark that will not be soon forgotten.

Steve Laifman passed away, a stalwart on the Tigers list.  We
had Fred Thomas on Triumphs, Frank on Spridgets.  Uncle Jack
was a stalwart on the vintage racing scene with his immaculately
prepared Triumphs.  As I've mentioned before one of my least
favorite tasks is removing someone from the lists as they depart.

I want to add them back.  I want to keep them alive in our hearts,
in our minds, in our web browsers.  We, as a community of kindred
spirits need to show our respect, admiration and appreciation.

Team.Net is currently in a bit of disarray as I work on updating,
upgrading and unfortunetly upending various services.  In the midst of
this cloud of digital dust a new project comes to mind - a memorial
page.  A place to gather stories, pictures, quips and quotes about
those who have touched us all.

Stay tuned, there will be requests for stuff to fill these soon to be
created web pages.

Thanks for all the responses.  With your help, I was able to check another
item off the list, and for almost no cost!
 
Now I am just hoping Spring falls
on a weekend this year. :-)

Alan,

Your assumption is correct.

If you see one "...wire coming off
the fuse box through the firewall...", you should see a second.  Both are
"red/black" -- red wires with a black stripes.  There should be a paired
connector about even with the side of the inner fender just above the frame. 
One lead will show +12V with the ignition switch on.  The other goes back
through the harness to the reverse lamp.  Both my cars (a '66 1600/U20 and a
'67-1/2 2000) have a two-wire lead in a plastic sheath which goes from the
connectors beneath the fuse box over the top of the trans to the reverse lamp
switch on the RH side of the trans.

Gary

Interesting looking car.  It matches Rallye's description of what 
constitutes a true '56 1500.  Given the underlying rust issues, I wouldn't 
call it a $12.5K car either, but, hey, the market sets the price.

Interesting use of the windshield washer tank as a surge tank for the 
radiator.  (Correct surge tank appears to be missing.)  Makes me wonder what 
else on the car is screwed up.

Actually, that isn't a 2L radiator. It is the original 65 1500 radiator. The
65 also didn't have a surge tank for the radiator. the overflow was routed via
a tube to the ground.

Team.Net is working a tad bit better this weekend.  At least now
when you use the archive or forum links below you don't get a blank
stare.  The archives are more important, I'll work on them some
more tonight.  Right now it is a pleasant spring afternoon and my
little truck is in serious need of attention, back outside for a while.

Hello Everyone,  There has always been poor performance from my front disc 
brakes.  I pulled the passenger side and found one pad was wet and would not 
come out without some force.  It looks like brake fluid saturated it.  I 
could not see any brake lines that were leaking.  I then pulled the piston. 
It appeared to be wet inside the dust boot.  I could not see any tears or 
even marks on the seal or any scratches on the cylinder wall.  I did put in 
brake kits about 5 years ago but have minimal miles on the roadster.  The 
lines have been bled a number of times over the years.  Could the seal leak 
without a tear.  It looks good.  Puzzled.  PS: the caliper is still thick 
enough.  Larry.

Larry,

The master cylinder puts a lot of pressure on the wheel cylinders  when you 
depress the pedal.  You could have a very small cut or tear in the piston 
seal, and not notice it, but have it be sufficient to allow fliud past when 
the brakes are used.  You didn't mention the condition of the cylinders, but 
I presume there are no pits or other irregularities.

Minor pits can be removed by honing, but I don't know how to do that with 
the center pin in the cylinder.  The cylinders can be sleeved, or replaced 
at no small cost.

Gary

I know this has been discussed before, don't recall seeing the way I did it recently...straight down from the lock there is a rubber plug in the trunk- pop that out, take a tire iron- not a 4 way- will need to be longer than the stock roadster one...run it straight up inside, just to the left of center and find the lock by feel...go to the left slightly and you can push the "blade" in between the clip and the lock...when you get it in place, give a quick hit from underneath or just twist and jam on it a bit and the clip will pop out and lock will basically fall out intact. could do the same thing with a long screwdriver probably.

some where, I have to assume on 311s.org, there are instructions on how 
to make a little tool used to open a trunk by going through one of the 
license plate bolt holes. I did if for practice a few years ago and it

Yeah.  Now you tell me.    In 1976 I spent hours with an old rusty nail and a
rock in the middle of know where 50 miles out by a hot spring in Idaho. Got a
hole next to the lock and used the nail to flip the lever.  Tense moment as
the Hell's Angles we come in.  Haha

Something about a coat hanger bent to 90 deg. to thread up and then turn to
catch the lever....check 311

Since we are going with a KA motor, we pulled the engine and trans out
of our 67 roadster.
The engine WAS running, but someone overshaved the head prior to us
owning the car.
The long block is FREE just come pick it up.

I also have the transmission and engine accessories for sale (modest
cost, funds go back into our car, make an offer).

The parts are located in Tempe, AZ

We are on the look out for a good hood, and the rear panel that holds
the tail lights filler etc. (forgive me, I'm not sure what its called)

I have a really good hood but I am in Los Angeles and hesitate to ship in case
it gets damaged.

Years ago, I watched a couple videos on YouTube about picking locks, then 
made some basic tools out of an old hack saw blade, using a grinder and a 
Dremel.  Took about 20 minutes.  Just don't get caught carrying them.  I'm a 
retired licensed mechanic and our shop had a tow truck so I also have slim 
jims etc. so they're part of my tools anyways.

I know this has been discussed before, don't recall seeing the way I did it 
recently...straight down from the lock there is a rubber plug in the trunk- 
pop that out, take a tire iron- not a 4 way- will need to be longer than the 
stock roadster one...run it straight up inside, just to the left of center 
and find the lock by feel...go to the left slightly and you can push the 
"blade" in between the clip and the lock...when you get it in place, give a 
quick hit from underneath or just twist and jam on it a bit and the clip 
will pop out and lock will basically fall out intact. could do the same 
thing with a long screwdriver probably.

Subject: [Roadsters] Cleaning aluminum wheels
Message-ID: <snt0-p5-eas6939F6C54CA0CC89E164709B420@phx.gbl>

Hey list,

I just removed the snow rims and tires from my daily driver the last weekend.
I noticed that all 4 wheels have some sort of dirt or oxidation that I can't
remove.

It is white or grey in color and looks almost like lime or salt.  It presents
itself as either blotches (bigger spots) or squiggly lines, almost like
cracked glass.

I first tried water and a soft cloth to remove it.  Then I went and got an
aluminum wheel cleaner (meguires AL wheel cleaner). The guy at the store said
to spray on and let sit for 30 seconds, then spray again and massage out the
dirt with a soft tooth brush.  I used half a bottle on one wheel with zero
effect.  Does anyone have suggestions?  They are just snow wheels, but I will
be mounting a set of aluminum wheels on my roadster this summer and I don't
want those wheels getting ugly.

The snow wheels are polished aluminum rims with painted spokes.  They also are
polished aluminum around the lugs.  The stain/dirt is only on the polished
part.  I don't want to use anything to aggressive and buff up the rims.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Also any thoughts
on preventing this in the future?  The wheels are stored flat and stacked two
high in plastic wheel bags.  Tires are mounted full time.

Thanks,
Dan

This describes aluminum oxide perfectly. Start with one of the 
"powerball" drill-type abrasive polish/wheel kits. If that doesn't work, 
move on to a real polishing pad (wool) and polishing compound or cutting 
compound. Cutting compound is pretty harsh and will swirl, you'll have 
to follow with lots of polishing compound. You'll have to figure out how 
to prevent the removal of the paint with a pad and polish (masking tape 
helps). The powerball wheel kits will probably leave the paint alone. 
There are metal polishes that will work well but they aren't doing 
anything different than the autobody compounds.

Aluminum oxide is one tough material and won't come off easy. It's much 
harder than the aluminum it came from so don't put a lot of pressure on 
a machine wheel or you'll dig out the aluminum and leave behind the 
aluminum oxide. Use time and patients with the machine. If the oxide is 
built up enough to catch a fingernail I might consider a light touch 
with a sanding disk with a super fine al-ox pad. You'll have to deal 
with the sanding damage to the polish with compounds and a wheel.

There's little that will prevent this other than a coat of oil or wax. 
The smooth surface of polished aluminum helps prevent oxidation by 
denying water a place to settle. Salts are a factor but not nearly as 
much as with steel rust. Both oil and wax won't stay on for long in the 
winter. A nice filthy coat of road grime and brake dust will help 
protect it though. I've always noticed that poorly cleaned wheels 
survive winter well. Anodizing is the usual solution for aluminum in 
harsh marine environments. Anodizing actually creates a fine layer of 
al-oxide and that allows the aluminum to hold paint or it can be tinted.

Automatic car washes that offer an extra wheel cleaning package will 
usually use hydrofluoric acid as the cleaner and that will greatly 
increase the odds of aluminum oxidizing. Hydrofluoric acid is a great 
cleaner (and deadly poisonous) but it strips all the oils off the 
aluminum leaving it vulnerable (not great for the steel in the wheel 
wells either). When I'm desperate enough to use an auto car wash I skip 
all the extras and get the basic wash and that usually means no 
hydrofluoric acid bath.

It will be good if they keep the logo and graphics the same, so we can get
new, branded merchandise.

The headline on that article is off base. It was a pain of Nissan's own
making, ditching a well-known, well-respected brand name to achieve consistent
parent-company corporate branding.

Some joker with an MBA probably got a bonus for the idea -- and Ihope he spent
it quick, because the flak and fallout that followed probably got him fired
(that is, if there is any justice in the worldb&).

Nice pile of roadsters!  He's got a point too.. No way one guy could rebuild

I had the same reaction -- not that it was the 3rd World, but that the
line of cars will be, uh, thrifty.

On the other hand, I think we are safe against stigma and association,
since U.S. consumers won't be exposed to much 3rd World "Datsun"
marketing. And we got a nice boost here when the "garage" commercials
came out.

It doesn't take long to fade out when there is NO brand presence at
all. They barely remember Plymouth & Oldsmobile anyway, with Saturn
and Mercury recognition on the decline too.

Porterfield does make them for the Roadsters in several organic and 
carbon composite compounds.

It might be very effective if they tied the re-intro of the Datsun brand
(here in the US) to the history, the racing success of the late '60s into
the '70s and the marketing sensation that occurred when the 1st gen Z-Car
was introduced. For several years in the early '70s Datsun was the import
sales leader with the Z, the 510, the 210, and don't forget the pickups.
IIRC, Mr. Katayama came up with the concept of the extended cab pickup,
with the 620 being the first of its kind. Unfortunately in the mid '70s
Datsun designs (IMO) began to lose the elegant styling simplicity of the
510 and the Z. Quality seemed to go in the tank, too.

Honestly I'll be surprised if they do decide to play on the Datsun history
for a couple of reasons. First, Mr. K has never really received the credit
he deserves for Nissan's US successes, and second, very few folks at Nissan
USA Corporate these days are aware of most of this history, or probably
care. Plus they're talking world, probably not US, market here. Datsun has
no history n the global market. That said, I wouldn't mind being surprised.

FWIW,
Ron

I was going to add the "lol" or a "haha" but last time I cracked wise on 
one of these list-serves, some jackass gave me shit about. It was most 
likely the shop talk list-serve. This time I thought it funnier to act 
completely ignorant. Which, often, is not all that much of an

 Just had to share this as prices are always of interest . In the May 2012 issue of Classic Motorsports on page 124 is a very short note and nice picture under BUY&SELL. "Better Buy It Now: Datsun 2000 Roadster. This car may not be an obvious candidate, but hear us out. The Datsun 2000 Roadster has a racing pedigree, is amazingly well built, drives well, and is faster than a comparable MG. With great examples at $20,000 out there, fans of the car should scoop up an example right now."

The value of my car just shot up! Now all I need is another paint job, an
interior, a new front grill & new soft top and a garage to park it in.

It's my daily driver down & up the "The Pass" Hwy 154 or the old, very
twisty "San Marcos Road".
Getting new shoes next week, Falcon 615K 195/60R 14, desperately needed as
both the front end & back end step out like I'm on marbles!
I'm glad to see that Andy still makes custom rear brake shoes as I need them
too.

Hi Walt!
Nice commute drive, San Marcos pass.
A little nerve wracking though if your brakes are marginal. Those going to
Solvang can drive it as it is a brief 20 min or so outside the town, and also
you can catch it coming from the 101.

Witty bantering aside, let's talk foam.  Does anyone have any tips on replacing the pile of yellow crumbs that used to comprise the foam in my 64 SPL310 seats? The back rest foam is so far gone that I've no idea of the thickness or density required to begin cutting a replacement.  Anyone else have a tech tip?

Get a electric carving knife and a few blocks of foam and carve to the approx
shape of the old stuff before it crumbled. The seat covers hide sny little
divits nicely. Tighten up the bottom straps with either new holes or new
straps. I used a hole punch for new holes.

In my search for an alternative molded lower hose for my early 67 1600, Walt
Peterson suggested an alternative where you can get both upper and lower hoses
out of one hose.  I have tried it and happy to report it worked very well. 
The hose is a Gates 21162 lower molded hose, 1-1/4" ID.  This hose has a sharp
bend on one end that attaches to the the water pump .  The opposite end has a
gentle bend which will become the upper hose.  Measuring from the gentle bend
end, measure 9" up on the OUTSIDE curve of bend,  cut the hose square and
clean (I used a simple razor knife).  This cut off end is now your new upper
hose.
Install the now shorter lower hose at the radiator end first, do not
tighten the clamp yet.  Install the other sharp curved end onto the water
pump, again do not clamp down yet.  Now look down and check that you have
clearance from the fan belt and pulley.  If  the hose is touching or too close
for comfort all you need to do is reach down and give the hose a little twist
on the bottom end to the right to create more space.  That should do it.  Now
tighten those clamps.  The upper hose installs simply.  It will go on either
way, but try both because one way fits better.  I installed these on my stock
67 1600 with stock radiator and shroud and stock thermostat housing.
I ordered
the hose from Amazon.com for 10 bucks and change (Pick Pro Parts is the
vendor).
Not too bad, huh?  Two molded hoses for $10 +
 As a back up I also
ordered Gates hose 20900 Upper Molded Hose in case the cut off piece didn't
work.  This fits perfectly as well, however, it is a 1-1/2" ID so it requires
more clamping to fit tight.  Cost was about $6.
While you are at it get a new
fanbelt, Gates 7395, from the same vendor.  This is the good  toothed belt.  I
think it was only $7.
 
Good Luck!

Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I've use the bread knife trick before. It works great. The old foam is so far gone that I can't tell which width of foam to buy as a base.  I guess I could start out with a 2" thick piece, cut it to shape of the seat, then contour it to fit the new slip cover.   

I already replaced foam in the buckets using good stuff from a local foam shop. The original bucket foam had large 1" cylinder holes evenly spaced in them that were filled with what looked like stacks of round cotton cylinders. The cylinder resembled looked like stacks of gun cleaning swabs. This must have been used to stiffen the seat. It worked too well.

Greetings,

I have just collected my 1967 2000 from the shop. It's nice to have it back on
the road.

The mechanic has suggested that it is time to have the carbs rebuilt. Nothing
immediate but something I need to do in the next few months. I will wait for
the summer - the weather is way too nice now in Austin.

Does anyone know where I can have them rebuilt? They are the SU carbs, made my
Hitachi.

Thanks and stay well,

Richard Bush

Thanks for the Kudos & I'm glad it worked. I was nervous I got the number
wrong or it might not have worked for your setup.

Maybe this could be added to the 311.org techno info. I have other gems like
this to add as well. 

 

For low windshield cars, the 520 (Not the 521 which is Metric) pickup truck
single brake master works great and it used to be less expensive through
Beck Arnley. It's vertical brake line output enables clearance of the stock
Solex air cleaner. (It fits between the Clutch & Brake masters. My car also
has the 1x3 brake line distribution block once sold by Nissan Comp.

Hi Linda I do hope to see you at Solvang, along with everyone else who
contribute to my daily read. It will be fun to see the Bickerson's & the
know-it-alls but more importantly, the nice folks who make the Roadster Ring
& comradely all worthwhile.

BTW Do you suppose there's a trophy for worst cosmetic condition, but
quickest slalom Roadster? Can't prove either, just wondering.

Hi Walt!
Nice commute drive, San Marcos pass.
A little nerve wracking though if your brakes are marginal. Those going to
Solvang can drive it as it is a brief 20 min or so outside the town, and
also you can catch it coming from the 101.

"Do you suppose there's a trophy for worst cosmetic condition"......

At the MidOhio Vintage Grand Prix it is called "Diamond in the Rough". I 
got that award three years ago when three of us from the Dairyland 
Datsuns made the drive to Ohio.

Hello roadster owners, just want to share with you my expirience with
Shock Warehouse. I ordered a set of KYBs for my 1970 roadster, 3 days
later not getting any emails on what is going on I called. It was hard
to get anybody to answer the phone. Finally somebody answered, I
checked on my order, they said it was out of stock, now you would
think that they would let me know right. This guy told me it would
arrive 4 days later, okay. I called back 5 days later, it took me
several hours talk to somebody again, I used another phone, then they
told me "I am sending it right now". Wow, I have to remind these
people to send me my stuff, I will never deal with this company again.
It has been almost 3 weeks I still haven't received my shocks.
Anybody close to Virginia Beach with a roadster?

Thanks.

Not the voltage regulator located in the engine compartment, I'm seeking 
a replacement for the instrument gauge regulator mounted under the 
steering column.

Hi All, 

I am new to this list and a Datsun Roadster owner (although it is not in working condition yet). I purchased a '69 1600 several years ago with the intent of restoring it. I think I am like many folks out there who end up biting off more than they can chew! I am working on my PhD at Gonzaga and working full time, I thought it would be a great project for some downtime but have never had enough down time to dig into it. 

I am looking at selling the car or trading it for a roadster that has already been restored. Is anyone interested or have any suggestions for me? 

Regards,

I am new to
this exercise in futility and really need help.
I am (foolishly?)
attempting to add a heater to a '70 SPL311. This is an AZ car that never had a
heater. 
Where I am stumped
is where the water/hose lines go. I looked at
carpartsmanual.com diagrams, but still
donbt know how to hook this up.
I'm
assuming
that the Nissan hose parts no longer exist and but someoneB  knows
ofB "will fits" or
substitutes.
Unfortunately if I had the parts in hand I
still wouldnbt
know what to do.
This car
currently has the intake and
exhaust manifolds installed, but not the carbs or
their plumbing.
Any help
would
be appreciated

Roman,

Thanks.  I have one which appears to be intermittently working, along 
with an apparently dead spare that I've had apart to inspect and repair, 
to no avail.

At this point, I'm really just interested in a solid state alternative 
to the semi-mechanical OEM unit.

Pete,

I am a low-windshield guy, and both my cars are 2000s, but I'll try.

I presume the heater casing and core are in the car, correct?  (Hardest 
part.)
The heater control valve installed on the firewall and connected to one of 
the heater core nipples, correct?

Attached is Figure 5-2 from the Nissan Parts Manual for the roadster, 
showing the heater piping arrangement for the 1600.  The three-way valve 
(36, 37) -- a heater bypass unique to the 1600 -- threads into the intake 
manifold in an obvious location on the firewall side.  The bottom end of the 
three-way valve connects through a short hose to the shorter of the two 
nipples on the line which runs under the heat shield (45).  The line coming 
from the heater control valve connects to the longer of the two nipples on 
Line 45.  The other line coming from the firewall connects to the top of the 
three-way valve.  There should be a nipple threaded into the front of the 
manifold (41, 42) which connects to a nipple on the cylinder head.  (Not the 
same on a 2000, and too long since my '66 was a 1600 -- 1972.)  The front 
end of line 45 connects through a short hose into the small nipple on the 
water pump.

I think the way all this works is:  The water pumps takes suction from the 
bottom of the radiator, and pulls water through the small line (48, 49) at 
the same time.  The water pump send water to the block through the back 
(engine) side of the pump.  Most of the coolant flow goes through the block 
and head and out the water outlet to the top of the radiator.  But some of 
the water goes through passages in the manifold, some back to the water pump 
suction, some to the heater core (when the control valve is opened.  When 
the three-way valve handle is horizontal, water exits the manifold and 
returns directly to the water pump via Line 45.  The heater control valve 
completes isolation of the heater.  When the three-way handle is vertical, 
water goes from the manifold to the heater core.  Flow only takes place when 
the heater control valve is opened, but the heater is always pressurized.

If you don't have the three-way valve (NLA, as far as I know), or the long 
pipe which is Line 45, do not despair.  With the right nipple for the back 
end of the manifold, you can connect back end of the manifold directly to 
the line which goes to the firewall, and run a longer 5/8-inch line directly 
back to the water pump suction.

When a friend's 2000 developed a leak in the heater core, I bypassed the 
heater (for two years) by disconnecting running the line exiting the back of 
the manifold directly back to the water pump suction.  The 2000 has a 
three-way nipple threaded into the front of the manifold, so the bypass is 
easy.

I hope that helps.  If you  need further information, send me a note 
directly, or give me a call at (219) 322-1923 after 7:30 PM CDT weekdays, or 
on weekends.  You may be able to reach me at work at (312) 269-3656 during 
business hours.

Hi Jim,

I bought my '68 1600 mmm...  I'm thinking about 12 years ago. It was 
garage-ware until we remodeled, now it's holding up a tarp in my mother's 
back yard.  I did finally go through the rear brakes, had the wheels blasted 
& powder coated, and put on new tires last summer.  Baby steps.

Congratulations on your decision to return to reality and get on with it. 
I'm still chasing the dream.  8^)

I'm not sure about the selling part, but available cars come up all the 
time - some of them road-ready for a reasonable price.

Hi Jim, we've got a Gonzaga here in Washington DC but I don't think
they have a doctoral program (it's a high school), so I presume you're
in the Pacific NW somewhere. That's a fertile territory to find an
example of a 311 that is closer to being ready.  You haven't said what
"not in working condition" means, but some of the best advice that has
come along in recent years is to get the car safe and running and just
drive it around for a while, like you would a beater.  Is it anywhere
near THAT level of function?  Doesn't have to look good or even be
100%, and there's a lot of satisfaction taking that road & wrench
experience to the car you eventually get.

I'm on my sixth, and happy with this particular one after sorting it
out about 20 years ago.

Best wishes,

Paul

Humm.
It appears Jim is getting smarter.  Buying or trading up to a drivable
turn-key version is much more advisable if you have no time but still want
to look good driving. :).
Come the Solvang event if can and get a feel for what level of restoration
you want to invest in.
So keep looking for what you want and buy it. Someone will buy or relieve
you of your car eventually.

Good luck with your next one.

Hi All, 

I am new to this list and a Datsun Roadster owner (although it is not in
working condition yet). I purchased a '69 1600 several years ago with the
intent of restoring it. I think I am like many folks out there who end up
biting off more than they can chew! I am working on my PhD at Gonzaga and
working full time, I thought it would be a great project for some downtime
but have never had enough down time to dig into it. 

I am looking at selling the car or trading it for a roadster that has
already been restored. Is anyone interested or have any suggestions for me? 

Regards, 

Jim

Hello All,
I am looking for the inside handle on the passenger side wing
window for my early 67 1600.  Anybody have one.  What are they going for these
days?
Thanks,
Roy

Subject: [Roadsters] Rear Bumper Bolts
Message-ID: <010c01cd0d18$85998760$90cc9620$@net>

Can someone verify the thread size for the left/right bumper bracket to the
frame bolts on a 1964 SPL310.  I started installing my re-chromed bumper
using 24 thread bolts (same as what came off).  The right rear bolt went on
easy but the right front bolt was a bitch to tighten.    The left side bolt
will not even thread.  This threaded hole is very close to the body so there
is no way to see what's going on.  Can someone with a frame off verify the
correct bolt and thread size for me?  I remember this bolt being a pain when
I removed it and chalked it up to rust.  Now I'm worried that Nissan used
two different threads and I just forced a 24 thread on.

Charlie,

Nissan only used one thread pitch for those bolts.  I seem to recall
that they're 5/16, and that the 24 (fine) pitch is correct.  Unless you are
the 
original owner, it's more likely some PO screwed up the bolts.  If you
want me 
to pull a bolt from my '66 to check, let me know.

For reference.

Those with long memories may recall Tom Walter's solid state voltage
regulator. I built one many years ago based on his specs.

A quick read of the Moss Motors PDF indicates that it drops the voltage to 10v
(unless I missed something )

Toms original post is copied below from the list archive indicates the need
for a voltage lower than 10 somewhere around 7-8v:

>From Tom Walter:
I am working on a solid state replacement but don't have a good unit to
compare with.

Charlie,

There have been a few versions of the solid state regulator made up.  I
posted the version below, to which Lou in Australia pointed out a LM7808
(fixed regulator) would have saved me a few resistors. ;-)

Barrie reported his roadster "liked" 7.3 volts, someone else cameback
with 7.6 volts, and my
car seemed to prefer closer to 8.0 volts for a fixed voltage to replace
the mechanically instrument voltage regulator.

Have fun!

Cheers,

Tom

Bummer. Guess I should notify 311 that the Moss motors part is NOT correct?
Electrical gurus weigh in, please.

Now that you mention it, Charlie, I recall that.

I'm betting there is ~2V of additional voltage drop in a 40-year old 
electrical harness and connectors...

I had to take mine to the tire shop.  It was very hard for them to de-bead
them.  I was afraid they would break the rims...., but they came off.  I
kept the wheels bolted up as a unit for strength.

It is not only a LOWER voltage as mentioned, it is a PULSED voltage.
If you monitor a working VR, you will see a square wave output which 
averages ~8VDC.
Like ashtrays on a motorbike, I have no idea why this system was adopted:-(
BTW, resistors drop voltage sure but they are rated in OHMS.

A pulsed voltage can be seen as a current limiter, reducing the duty
cycle on the gauges and prolonging their life. It may also be part of
the method by which they "damp" the needles to keep them from moving
too rapidly in response to minor transients.  The sloshing of gasoline
in the tank causes lots of movement of the fuel sender float, for
example, and that movement would otherwise show up on the fuel guage .

The voltage drop across a resistor is dependent on the current flowing 
through it. The current in this particular circuit does not stay 
constant, so just dropping the voltage would not work. As I recall the 
average voltage coming out of the instrument regulator is about 8V. The 
gauges are slow enough to react that a constant voltage will be good 
enough.

The reason for having a voltage regulator at all is that the battery 
voltage can vary quite a bit between idle and full throttle, not to 
mention head/driving lights on or off, causing the gauges to read off by 
quite a bit....not that the temperature gauge is known for being 
particularly accurate!

As for the 10V Moss regulator, if it is a bi-metal regulator, it can be 
adjusted to work. If it doesn't have an adjustment on it, the mount for 
the bi-metal strip or the strip itself can be bent to have more off time.

Peace,
Pat

Didn't someone say it was solid state, so can't adjust?

It's solid state.  If needed, a dropping resistor could be used.

I'll let you know.

It is not only a LOWER voltage as mentioned, it is a PULSED voltage.
If you monitor a working VR, you will see a square wave output which averages ~8VDC.
Like ashtrays on a motorbike, I have no idea why this system was adopted:-(
BTW, resistors drop voltage sure but they are rated in OHMS.

With the discussion concerning replacements for the dash gauge
voltage regulator, I thought I'd toss this back out. Old-timers to the
list will recognize it... :-)

[my apologies if this has already been stated and I missed the message]

The instrument regulator consists of a special two-part piece of
metal (the bimetallic strip) and a small heating coil. This simple
design produces a square wave voltage output that averages out to
about seven volts (if my old notes are correct). But this simplicity
is actually more complex than it would seem.

The bimetallic mechanism also acts as a temperature compensator.
The gauges work by bimetallic strips as well; internal coils heat a metal
strip and move the pointer. In colder weather it takes more power to get
the same movement. Thus, in colder weather the mechanical regulator,
itself being heat-sensitive, automatically provides more power (longer
'on' time) when cold and less when hot, helping gauge accuracy. Keep
in mind that over the seasons the temperature inside the car can vary by
a hundred degrees.

It can also compensate for voltage fluctuations, but the charging system
should be doing the heavy lifting on that end.

-- John
     John F Sandhoff   sandhoff at csus.edu   Sacramento, CA

p.s. Hooking the two wires up backwards will result in the gauges
beginning to move up, then dropping back and staying at zero. The
regulator will probably get toasty as well. It also needs to be grounded
to work, otherwise the gauges will read way too high.

Runs great, no rust. Have 6 crates of extra Datsun roadster

Just thought I would pass this along, as you seem to be thinking of making
the switch to the 2000.
Just ignore my ramble if you are not interested.

I bought my '68 2+ years ago and it had beauty rings on it.  Soon after, one
of 
my wheels had some "trauma" happen to it, and I needed to get a new beauty
ring.  I went to Hubcap Mike's, mostly because they were local and I could
pick 
it up.  The ring fit great, and I couldn't tell the difference between
it, and 
the ones I had already on the car.
http://www.hubcapmike.com/trim-rings-beauty-rings.html

Photos with beauty
rings:

http://fototime.com/E377682FFA78AB7/orig.jpg

In addition to just beauty, I
realized a benefit of using beauty rings is it 
reduces the inside of the
hubcap area by 1".  This essentially makes it a 13" 
wheel.  At the time, I
had the original hubcaps to a '64 Datsun Roadster with 
the full 13" covers. 
I love the look of the original full wheel covers.  The 
clips of the 13"
wheel covers fit perfectly behind the lip of the beauty rings, 
providing a
means of mounty the 13" (Drum Brakes)  wheel cover on a 14" (Disc 
Brake)
wheel.  I ended up trading the wheel covers as parts, but here are
some photos:

Oh, I missed that part! Solid state regulators can easily be adjusted to 
higher voltages by themselves with a couple resistors, but to get a 
lower voltage you can put diodes in series with the output to drop 
voltage, either silicone diodes, or Zener diodes. Since the Moss 
regulator seems that you would need to drop 2 volts. and since a 2Volt 
Zener diode is difficult to find, I'd go with  2 or 3 silicone diodes in 
series, such as a 1N4001. They are $0.14 each from Digikey.

Peace,
Pat

FWIW:
Radio Shaak kit K1823RS (re-sell of a Vellman kit) is a fairly compact
(about 1.5x1") adjustable voltage reg about $20.00.  It has a small
potentiometer (aka volume knob) that allows you to adjust the output voltage
(something like 3v up to input v).  Input is 5-24v (ie: car voltage).  It
might be a bit of overkill as it has some capacitors that clean up the output
signal at various levels, but that's probably good in a car.  Some epoxy to
surround it, with ears left on for mounting holes should work, or just mount
ina small project box (with a hole to get at the pot).  I am setting up one of
these to power my video system in the race car.  Just connect a VOM (volt
meter) to the output and turn the pot to get the voltage desired.

It uses a
LM317 IC regulator which is very common. A LM7805 would also work.  There are
also simple circuits available online that use a variable pot.  The individual
components are very cheap if you go that route.  It looks like Moss just
clamped one one of those IC regulators, with a few other components
(transistors mainly) inside the original case to set it at whatever it was at.
(deleted the prev emails with all the good info).

I'm not an electronics
guru, just messing around as I go. And I certainly don't know if the
instruments need a pulsed voltage, but if they do, this type of device would
not work as they are designed to output constant voltages.

Cell phone
chargers are interesting items as well, but are generally lower voltages.  I'm
sure all the Frankensteins like me have drawers filled with all the left over
chargers/converters like me, don't they?  They come in handy to replace
battery powered stuff, or just convert stuff for powered car use. ex: cell
phone charger wired into the video recorder via a gutted battery; all my
in-car video stuff (multi-cam) has been powered by various
chargers/converters; a long extension cord now powers the pitching machine was
supposed to use 8 D cell batts.  Imagine how short-lived (and ever-slower)
that would have been.

Any think I will have any heat issues if I treat my oil pan with POR15? 
The stuff seems bullet proof and I'd like to see if I can keep it from 
getting all chipped up and rusty.

Is there a generally available (Duplicolor, etc) paint color for the
original steel wheels, or at least a close match. I'm going to clean up the
OEM wheels that came with my '70 2000 and put new tires on them before I
put the car on the market. I seem to remember the color being a matte

Make sure the metal is clean and rough. It doesn't stick well to oil or really
smooth metal.

FWIW, I remember way back that  Dupli-Color had spray paint for a 66 Corvair
silver that was a very close match. Of course a spray can for a 66 Corvair
is probably just as obtainable as the original Datsun wheel paint!

Yea, I've used it to treat an entire suspension as well as a set of

I bought JC Whitney trim rings for my roadster back in '96 or so.  Love the
look with the chrome small hubcap and the chrome ring.  They looked great for
several years, until I parked it when I left the country for a few years...

I have always liked beauty rings on my car too.  JC Whitney has them in both
chrome steel and chromed ABS.

hi paul, i had a set of those wheels, too. i had trouble with sealing the
bolted together surfaces. ill bet there is a glue on the bead edge.
i would find some thing that will desolve glue, and spread it on the bead
edge. then let it set for a while.
 they make stuff to desolve mldg. adhesive.  try pb blaster. keep spraying
it in the edge for several days(or weeks).
    good luck,   bob smith

Ron:
I recently repainted my wheels.  The best match (cant tell difference from
spare) Is, believe it or not, from Rustoleum: Their designation "ATU 7002".
It is part of their automotive line I picked it up at AutoZone although I
think I have seen it at all Advance Auto Parts as well.  See picture

Subject: [Roadsters] my husband's roadsters
Message-ID: <8CED5B8D700F8D6-6E8-202C7@Webmail-d117.sysops.aol.com>

My name is Stacy Neel, my husband, Gary L. Neel, passed away in 2007. He was a
member of TDROC and datsun.org.  He went to many events and met a lot of
people. I wanted to speak to any members that knew Gary. I still have his
roadsters and need to sell them, but only want to sell to someone who will
love and care for them as Gary did.  I am attaching pics of the 1969 Roadster
that he restored.  I have all documentation that occurred for the restoration,
as well as the original service manual.  I also have 4 other roadsters that
Gary and his brother, Bob Neel, worked on, or were planning to work on.   On
datsun.org there was a message from Greg Valazza inquiring about Gary and the
1969 datsun, if it had been sold.  There was an email address for Greg and I
emailed him but did not receive a response.  Gary lived in Oklahoma until
2001, when he moved to Texas and we married.  The cars have to be sold as I am
the Administrator of the Estate and need to close the Estate.  Again, I want
these cars to be someone's passion. This is very important to me.  My husband
dearly loved working on, riding in, participating in car shows, anything
roadster and this is what he would want.


Please email me at:   coellaneel at aol.com  with questions and/or phone numbers
and I will get back to you as soon as possible.


The following are names I found that had inquiries for Gary:  Philip Erickson,
Patrick J. Horne, Greg Valazza    If anyone knows these individuals, please
provide them with my email address.



Sincerely,





Stacy C. Neel
