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

(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. -By Chester Dawson, The Wall Street Journal, and Yoshio Takahashi, Dow Jones Newswires; 813-6269-2791; yoshio.takahashi at dowjones.com From RWM at RWMann.com Fri Mar 2 10:05:17 2012 From: RWM at RWMann.com (RWM) Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:05:17 -0500 Subject: [Roadsters] --> re-launch of Datsun In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4F50FDCD.7000208@RWMann.com> This ought to add at least $10k to the recent $33k/$38k fair market value of the original 2000!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. mjb.

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.

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 Madison, WI From james at jdfogg.com Mon Mar 19 21:24:39 2012 From: james at jdfogg.com (JDF) Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:24:39 -0400 Subject: [Roadsters] Cleaning aluminum wheels In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4F67F877.1010308@jdfogg.com> 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.

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&).

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.

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.

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!

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. ------Original Message------ From: Linda Jordan To: cehubbard at verizon.net Cc: datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Roadsters] TX Roadster weather.

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.

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.

Congratulations on your decision to return to reality and get on with it.

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVeUUTQNOdY Best wishes, Paul On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 5:04 PM, wrote: > Hi All, > > I am new to this list and a Datsun Roadster owner (although it is not in working condition yet).

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. http://www.solvangshow.com/ Good luck with your next one.

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!

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 .

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4F746B42.6010604@hornesystemstx.com> 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 Thusly spake Hall, Phillip B.

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.

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/E1318DC9132A313/orig.jpg 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: http://fototime.com/930FEF9F99BF3C6/standard.jpg http://fototime.com/E1475ECE047A6FE/standard.jpg Keith ________________________________ From: David Patten To: datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net Sent: Thu, March 29, 2012 10:37:18 AM Subject: Re: [Roadsters] beauty rings Here try these folks, Lots of different styles. http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ -- Dave Patten, Owner FutoFab, LLC 199 Stark Hwy So Dunbarton, NH 03046 Website - www.FutoFab.com e-mail - dave at futofab.com On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 1:01 PM, Gary McCormick wrote: > Chrome trim rings on the wheels. > > --- On Thu, 3/29/12, Marty Spahr wrote: > > From: Marty Spahr > Subject: Re: [Roadsters] beauty rings > To: "'Roy Haslett'" , twokeelya at gmail.com, > datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net > Date: Thursday, March 29, 2012, 9:53 AM > > Sorry for my ignorance, What are Beauty rings? > > Best Regards, > Marty > Mspahr01 at earthlink.net > PH.352-742-0139 > FX.352-742-1130 > Mbl.813-340-9880 > > -----Original Message----- > From: datsun-roadsters-bounces at autox.team.net > [mailto:datsun-roadsters-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Roy Haslett > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 12:17 PM > To: twokeelya at gmail.com; datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net > Subject: Re: [Roadsters] beauty rings > > I have always liked beauty rings on my car too.

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.

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 >> >> -- Pat Horne, Owner, Horne Systems (512) 797-7501 Voice 5026 FM 2001 Pat at HorneSystemsTx.com Lockhart, TX 78644-4443 www.hornesystemstx.com -- We support Habitat for Humanity - a hand UP, not a hand OUT -- From jake7140 at yahoo.com Thu Mar 29 20:10:59 2012 From: jake7140 at yahoo.com (Steve Jacobson) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:10:59 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Roadsters] Tech talk: Bimetallic Strip Gauge Regulator In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1333073459.24869.YahooMailNeo@web37904.mail.mud.yahoo.com> 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.

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
