Here's a time lapse video I shot driving from Burbank, CA to Solvang last
Saturday for the show.
This is I5 to I118 through Moorepark and into Ventura and then up the 101 to
Santa Barbara.
Then over the 154 Cachuma pass and into Solvang.
Enjoy!  Fun Drive.

Oh, and as you can see I have a problem with my hood latch.  If anyone out
there has a 66 female hood latch assembly with the metal piece that pulls back
and forth by the cable, I need one.  Thanks.

Greg,
Great video !!

I thought you were on the 118 but it was moving so fast it was hard to tell. I
traveled those roads so many times I could do it it my sleep :) I need to get
back to Solvang Roadster show someday . My last visit was 95' :( . It is kind
of funny that I noticed that your hood was up and on your second post you
mentioned it .

Another product you may try is called CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust).  Supossed to
take care of rust very easily, and no scratching.  Get it at Home Depot and
similar stores.

Subject: [Roadsters] Fuel line question
Message-ID: <FBEHKLCBMFPMMEKGKFMFIEHBCCAA.tom@datsun2000.com>

When the mechanical fuel pump failed on Mr. Hyde I purchased a Master
Mechanic 12S electric fuel pump as a replacement.  Since I had to have the
car early the next day I temporarily installed the new pump under the hood
and used the existing rubber lines to connect to the line from the tank and
carbs.  It worked fine, but being ty-wrapped to the upper radiator hose is
not the best long term installation choice.

Now I have moved the pump and mounted it at the correct angle according to
the manufacturers instructions just ahead of the rear axle and made new hard
line and rubber connections to the pump.  No gas is flowing through the
pump.  I suspect air is entering the connection where the new hard line
connects to the tank using a new brass fitting, or I am connecting the pump
to the return tube rather than the pickup tube.

My question is which of the two fuel line connections to the fuel tank is
the pickup line?  One enters the tank a little lower than the other.  I
believe this is the fuel pickup line.  If I am on the correct tube I will go
back to the original tank connection to insure an airtight seal at the joint
and make a short rubber hose connection between the new and old hard lines.

As Tom notes, later cars have a second fuel connection at the tank.
The SMALLER pipe is the fuel feed and is where the pump draws
from. The LARGER pipe is the fuel return and terminates inside the
tank at about the half-full level.

You sure? The G15 crank has shorter throws (74mm stroke). That's how Darryl stroked his 3-main R16 to 1800. 


If not, I may have a crank for you. Will know for sure after we breakdown another R16. Number five in a quest to find a rebuildable candidate.....sigh.....

The 1500 crank has a longer stroke than the 1600 3 main.

You sure? The G15 crank has shorter throws (74mm stroke). That's how Darryl  
stroked his 3-main R16 to 1800. 


If not, I may have a crank for you. Will know for sure after we breakdown  
another R16. Number five in a quest to find a rebuildable  
candidate.....sigh.....

Anyone out there have a three main bearing crank that would fit a G series 
1500? Shop screwed up my last donor crank by not checking line bore on the 
block for my 1963 1500 Fairlady. If memory serves correct the early 
1600's works (prior to mid 67). Need to keep matching numbers on the block  
for 
this rare single carb car. 

Let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

Thanks for the correcton on the tank pipes.  The smaller pipe enters the
tank at a point higher than the larger pipe.  Now to drain a couple of
gallons from the tank and plumb it correctly.

Working with Ed Snider, the gentleman that produced the Roadster 3/4 rear
veiw image, we have created a 50th anniversary commemorative grill badge
for the Roadster.



An order of 50 has been placed by FutoFab using this design. The
manufacturer's ship date to us is approximately May 30th, meaning we will
be able to ship sometime the first full week of June.



Rather than going thru a group buy process, we have decided to kick off the
sale of these commemorative badges by taking advanced orders thru FutoFab
at a reduced rate. All orders thru May 20, 2012 on the first 20 badges will
be at $29.00/each plus shipping. After May 20th or after the first 20
badges are sold (whichever comes first) the price will be $39.00/each.



Shipping is $6 ($13 to Canada) for up to 4 badges.




Payments can be made by PayPal to Dave at FutoFab.com or we can issue an
electronic invoice, payable by credit card, by emailing us at that same
address with your order details.



When ordering please remember to include your mailing address, PayPal does
not automatically include it.

  Big Thank You to David for getting on top of this and making it happen.
I know there were several ideas kicking around for what the badge should
look like, but nobody else was willing to decide and start an order
(Including me!).  I sent in my order today!

Guys - the 50th is 1963 to 2013, that's why I started the dialogue this  
year to get a full year on prep for the 50th anniversary event.  The full  
production of the Fairlady started with 1963.  Hate to see things get  printed 
with the wrong dates in my humble opinion.

I have been alerted that the 1500 crank has a longer stoke than the  early 
1600, so my search for the three main bearing crank needs to be strictly  
the 1500.  Thanks to those than offered their early 1600 cranks.
 
Any suggestions as to any junk yards, or someone you may know who has or  
had a 1500 G series motor, would greatly be appreciated.

Gary, whenever I try to send you an e-mail it comes back as non-deliverable. I tried to send you the contact info for someone I sold 3 1500 engines to a couple years back but it came back. has happened before when I've tried to respond to your posts over the past couple years, if you have me blocked that's fine but I'm not going to take the time to try to respond to you anymore. has basically happened since the time I pointed out to you that your single carb 1500 was not in fact the earliest production 1500 known in existence...

Roadster and DRONE List Members,
First, let me say thank you for the HUGE response on the Datsun Roadster 50
th Anniversary Badges.



The initial reduced price offering sold out in 3 hours from my posting the
offer. By the end of the extension to Midnight of last night the number had
reached more than 40 sold.



Those that contacted me before the deadline requesting electronic invoices
or other arrangements on payment will still receive the reduced pricing,
but going forward the price will be $39/each.



For those that maybe late in acting, I have place an order for another 50
pieces, so dont worry that we may be sold out right away.



Thank You All! If there is anything else we can do for you please do not
hesitate to contact us.

Subject: [Roadsters] 310 Roadster - 1962 or 1963?
Message-ID: <CAC08eSPf-Ohg-zdOShJMbZy8qzJ6o2qgf5qQNHbPo-6xF_sUbw@mail.gmail.com>

There has been some disagreement on the first year of the 310 series
Roadster.



The 310 Roadster was first introduced to the public in the Fall of 1961 at
the Tokyo Auto Show. The US public saw the car in April 1962 at the New
York Auto Show. (There is a short video, more of a newsreel, of the 1962
New York Auto Show on the internet that shows the 310 Roadster, but I was
unable to find it for a second time to provide a link.)



Based on information provided in the book Datsun Fairlady Roadster to
280ZX, the Z Car Story by Brian Long, he states that the first SP310
roadsters (RHD) were 1962 with a total of 187 cars but the first to be
exported were in 1963. So it is quite likely that the LHD SPL310, exported
to the US was marketed as a 63 model but the original SP310 Roadster was
considered a 1962 in the Japanese domestic market. Long admits that the
earlier edition of his book had errors in production dates and numbers,
which with the help of Nissan Shatai, he calls his later book to be the
definitive details.



Another source of stating the 310 as a 1962 is the Heritage Collection part
of on Nissans Global website. There you will find the SP310 shown as year
1962.

Link: http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/HERITAGE/datsun_fairlady_1500.html



So while the SPL310 may have been marketed in the US as a 63 model it
appears that Nissan considers the 310 Roadster started in 1962.



While this information may not satisfy all, I feel comfortable that 1962
should be considered the first year of the 310 series Roadster when looked
at on a global basis.

  I just took the old one in to my FLAPS, and they ordered me a new one.
The same hydraulics, NABCO, was used on a bunch of different cars for years.

Is the cylinder itself bad?  Or is it just the internal piston and seal?  You
can get a rebuild kit from Beck Arnley (get the "Major" rebuild kit) for less
than $20.  Got to Amazon and search for it.  Super easy to replace.  Replace
the slave hose while you are at it.  Good Luck.

  *The Complete Datsun Guide *by Michael F. Hollander shows the 310 began
in 1962, but does not differentiate between Japanese and USA sales.
  *Fair Lady, Japan's First Sports Car *by Phill Brook, lists a 1962 model
of the 310.  But it lumps the production quantities with the '63 model.
  *Datsun Roadsters*, Brooklands Road Test Books, compiled by R.M. Clark,
also lists the 310 as beginning in 1962.

  So, if you want to wait until next year to make a 50th grille badge, go
right ahead.  Who knows, I may even buy one.  But for now, I'll gladly
display David & Ed's design on my '69 roadster!

Dave,

Thanks for sharing the basis for the 1962 reference.

I did a search on google.jp and there are many references, photos, and
literature that have the SPL310 linked with 1962, supporting that as
year zero for the body style we are celebrating.

A non-copyrighted photo appears to have been taken in a Nissan museum.
Its file name is among the references I found.

Thanks for creating a nice car ornament.  You've got my order.

  It's been a few years, but I think I only paid $37.50 for new ones?  Or
maybe that was the clutch slave?
  Boy, getting old is so much ......?

Don't just assume the parts don't exist because our cars are 40+ years old. Even Nissan still carries roadster parts though you need to provide the part number since the newbie parts folks have no idea what a roadster is. Heck, a lot of 'em never heard of a 510. 


Anyway, I bought a new clutch slave from RockAuto.com 2 or 3 years ago. I just checked...yup....still available for $23. Look under "1600" instead of "SPL311."

I am restoring a 1969 Datsun Roadster and want to restore a racing version. I
don't want to cut off windshield like the US racing cars do. I found some pics
of Japanese and European Rally racing versions and was looking for information
on mechanical and body specs.

I dunno, but 1962-2012 just looks more aesthetically pleasing to me than 1963-2013.

*The Complete Datsun Guide *by Michael F. Hollander shows the 310 began 
in 1962, but does not differentiate between Japanese and USA sales. 
*Fair Lady, Japan's First Sports Car *by Phill Brook, lists a 1962 model 
of the 310. But it lumps the production quantities with the '63 model. 
*Datsun Roadsters*, Brooklands Road Test Books, compiled by R.M. Clark, 
also lists the 310 as beginning in 1962. 

So, if you want to wait until next year to make a 50th grille badge, go 
right ahead. Who knows, I may even buy one. But for now, I'll gladly 
display David & Ed's design on my '69 roadster!

  Be careful looking under "1600".  The 510 was know as a 1600 in some
markets.  My local Auto Zone has both listed as 1600, but thankfully
they'll order both when I need something and keep the one I don't need.

The link the shows a 1962 Fairlady race car shows this as HP rating:
 
Engine Max. power

59kW (80PS)/5,600rpm
My Single Carb, which this doesn't show the carb setup for the 1962, but it 
 is rated at 77 HP, when they added the dual carbs it became 85 HP.  Don't  
think back then there was anything changing the HP rating between Japan and 
US,  so wondering why it is showing 80 HP when converting 77 HP to KW it is 
56.63 or  57 KW if you round up?
 
Any thoughts or insights?

It could be how they were required to measure engine power for the  
different countries. At that time the US allowed HP to be measured with no  engine 
accessories such as alternator or water pump. Japan may have allowed "at  
the rings" power, Power calculated from engine cylinder pressure totally  
eliminating all engine friction, cam and distributor load, etc. . Currently  
everyone measures with all engine accessories, air cleaner, exhaust system, how 
 the engine is actually equipped in the car.

You have a FLAPS that can look up a car that old? When I got Dad's 
Roadster about six years ago I used to try in Madison and was always 
told "our computers don't go back that far". I now wonder if they just 
stop listening at "Datsun". I may try to ask for a vette part that old 
and see if I get the same response. Bloody muscle head....er.....I mean 
muscle car people.

I've found almost none of the systems list "Datsun," so I generally just say Nissan, the year, and roll from there.

You have a FLAPS that can look up a car that old? When I got Dad's 
Roadster about six years ago I used to try in Madison and was always 
told "our computers don't go back that far". I now wonder if they just 
stop listening at "Datsun". I may try to ask for a vette part that old 
and see if I get the same response. Bloody muscle head....er.....I mean 
muscle car people.

I remember you could get an FM adaptor for your AM radio, which is all I
remember for the roadsters in 1970.  I don't remember that they worked
particularly well for me.  There are some Clarion AM/FM radios that will fit
into the stock console on 68-70 model cars, but the are designed for
horizontal mounting and would be difficult to read in a roadster console.

Even though in the owners manual in the 311s.org wiki section the radio
appears to be AM only, I seem to remember that the radio in our '70 2000
(bought new) was AM/FM, but I could easily be wrong. About a year after we
bought the 2000 we bought a '71 510 4-door. It had the "optional"
AM/8-track with an 8-track shaped plug-in FM tuner. Kind of interesting.
For the life of me, I can't remember what kind of speaker set up it used,
but it was probably just the single speaker mounted center dash.

I know there have been prior posts on this topic, including discussion of bench-bleeding (not sure what that means though).    

I too have been sorely disappointed in the braking capability of my roadster.  I have been able to improve this somewhat with a combination of speed bleeders, stainless steel brake lines, replacing the rear wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, and aggressive bleeding of the master cylinder.  My latest effort was replacing the rotors and the pedal feels quite firm.  I have to reinstall the rebuilt engine before I can test out this latest improvement, hoping to do that before the end of May.

I have a friend who put Wilwood brakes on his 240Z and said it made a huge improvement in his car.  That may be my next step if I am still not satisfied with the present set-up. Good luck, Dewey

Personal opinion...
Properly set up, the Roadster brakes are quite good. A host of
problems with 40 year old hydraulics may occur, but the basic design
and implementation are quite solid.

The front calipers are identical to Jaguar and Studebaker of the
generation. And the 'Stude weighs in at two tons, so a one ton
Roadster shouldn't have a problem slowing down :-)

One 'gotcha' is a too-thin rotor, resulting in the pad hitting the
bridge and not the rotor. Firm pedal, no stopping power.

Old rubber hoses will sap all the braking force as well, as they will
expand a bit under pressure and steal the PSI.

The later cars, with the dual cylinder, have a non-serviceable valve
inside the piston assembly. If this valve doesn't fully seat, the fluid
pumps internally in the cylinder and doesn't generate braking pressure.
Especially if the brake system ever sat 'dry', the master is probably
not up to snuff. They used to be expensive, nowadays they're in the
"you want HOW MUCH for that?!??" range.

If all the parts are good, the brakes are great. If major parts need
replacement, I imagine it's a cost savings to do the Volvo (or
another) swap.

> Does anyone know what the bleeder valves on the master are used for?

They're used to bleed the master :-)

To bench bleed the master, gently clamp it in a vice, put hoses from
the bleeder outlets to squirt back into each reservoir, add fluid and
pump pump pump. This works the air out of all the nooks and crannies.

p.s. Old-timer hint: remove the plastic cover from the front
steel crossover tubes. The pipe rusts underneath it and one day
you'll lose your front brakes. I was always skeptical about that
actually happening - 'til one day when I lost my front brakes...

You can also go to stainless braided lines to help with the braking.

I know there have been prior posts on this topic, including discussion of
bench-bleeding (not sure what that means though).

I too have been sorely disappointed in the braking capability of my roadster.
I
have been able to improve this somewhat with a combination of speed bleeders,
stainless steel brake lines, replacing the rear wheel cylinders, new master
cylinder, and aggressive bleeding of the master cylinder.  My latest effort
was
replacing the rotors and the pedal feels quite firm.  I have to reinstall the
rebuilt engine before I can test out this latest improvement, hoping to do
that
before the end of May.

I have a friend who put Wilwood brakes on his 240Z and said it made a huge
improvement in his car.  That may be my next step if I am still not satisfied
with the present set-up. Good luck, Dewey

Remember these are 40 - 50 Year old cars and systems  so don't stop like
today's cars.  They were good in there day but just don't stop like todays
cars if they still have the factory brakes.
 My problem is no car will stop
like my Formula Alantic  car did  so I learn to live with them.

I always found the braking on my '66 roadster to be more than adequate -- as 
long as I "stood" on  the pedal.  The pedal effort has always been very 
high, owing to the absence of a vacuum booster with the disc brakes.  Yhe 
braking effort on my '67-1/2 2000, with its dual circuit, is not as good, 
but I have not had the ambition to fool with it.

My neighbour, Ed Brown, (Van Nuys, CA) transports typically highend cars all
around the country. He was selected to transport AX201 (the original Silver
Ghost) for the Rolls Royce Centenniary.
I mention this only because times are tight and he often has empty
(reasonable) capacity in his truck (typical load is from 6-8 cars)
So, if you are looking for closed transportation, and you have some wait time
built in, he might be a useful contact. Given the cost of fuel these days, and
flying out, sorting the car etc., he might be a decent option.

Well!!!!!!!

Out here in California we have some cool twisty roads - Decker Canyon
being one - serious downhill, twisty as all heck - and YEP - at the end
of a serious downhill run, I was out of brakes - but this is (as someone
 mentikoned) a 40+ year old car. I love driving fast - but heavens - this is
an OLD car - try doing this on my old 49 Bentley MKViI - which I did and
scared me even more - especially with a 2 ton + car.

They were designed as they were designed - at a time when they mostly out-did
their competitors - MGA,TR's MGB - any modern car will do better - but who
wants to have fun in a modern car like we do with our roadsters

I had planned to do the original Volvo conversion several years ago. Then someone did a cost analysis, and it was almost a wash compared to replacing/repairing the OEM parts. Additionally, not a single user who converted said the braking had improved significantly over stock (Note: I'm sure there's a number of folks who converted who have never responded).

I then lucked into a deal on slightly used OEM parts from someone who had done the 300ZX brake conversion. I thought the stock brakes were great the few times I drove before killing the car. Granted, that was normal street/highway use, no auto-crossing, etc.

That said, opinions/reality on cost and/or performance may no longer apply with the recent Volvo Brake conversion using the vented rotor.

Although I haven't driven my roadster since the mid 70's, I always thought
the brakes were very good in competition. The SCCA GCR's were much stricter
back then and there wasn't much you could change, other that the pads and
ducting for air. I used Ferodo DS11 racing pads and the Nissan competition
"green stuff" shoes in the rear.(although when cold you had a better chance
of stopping using your leg out the door!) Back then it was common for light
weight imports to use discs without power assist, and yes pedal pressure was
higher than we are used to today, but not that excessive. As a matter of
fact, the lack of sensitivity made it easier to heal and toe. I don't recall
ever having appreciable fade in a race although I did lose the brakes once
by boiling the fluid. BTW, the Dunlop/Sumitomo calipers are the same model
used on the series 1 XKE, with a 1/8" smaller bore, the pads are
interchangeable.

Aside from the head, there is really no difference in an early vs. late U20.

The later head will have air injection holes. Fill those with some plugs and
find a way to "hide" the plugs.

If you get a replacement block from Nissan (I've seen several over the years)
it will not have a serial number.

I've a Canadian '69 2000.It does not have the holes for the air injectors BUT
it does have a flat spot where the hole could have been machined. I've seen
the 67.5 side by side by the Canadian and they are different, but you
wouldhave to know the difference to see it. g with a fleet (does not include a

You never know what may turn up among non-U.S. examples.

We rescued from a Pennsylvania backyard a factory '68 Solex SRL.

Was LHD, high windshield, correct VIN plate, and sold new to an Air Force
guy stationed at Kadena.

It's still around, perhaps coming up rapidly in your rear view mirror ....

The brakes on these cars are more than adequate IF everything is up to snuff.
Make sure the rubber hoses and pistons are good and
flush and bleed the system with the front of the car elevated at least 6
inches.  There is a part of the system that will hold a little air if you
bleed with the car level.  Once you get ALL the air out the brakes work great!

The plastic speedometer drive gear has worn out on my '67 4-speed.  Anyone
know who carries those?

Rebuilt engine, threw mass quanities of new parts at it in addition to redoing
carbs,  new points, plugs, wires, cap, condenser, etc etc.
 
Here's the heart
breaker: 
#2 and #3 cylinders are not producing. #1 and #4 are fine, pull wire
on 2 or 3 and rpm drops about 20-30 rpm. Pull  wire on 1 or 4 engine falters
unless reconnect  to spark plug.  Good snap acceleration. Uni-Syn pretty well
matched (considering engine miss).
Much black smoke --- engine running rich to
keep running about 1000 rpm.  All four cylinders test 155 to 160 pounds
pressure at cranking speed. Cannot detect an intake manifold leak.
Enough
spark to melt your ear wax, to all four cylinders.
 
Now what?

Pete,

Your message didn't say anything about how the valves were set, nor what 
measurements were taken to ensure that the lift and duration are uniform on 
all four cylinders.

#2 is essentially fed from the front carb, and #3 from the rear.  If #1 and 
#4 are running OK, the answer would appear to be with something other than 
the distributor or carbs.
Gary

I concur with Mr. Mann!
The firing order at the cap is COUNTER clockwise.

I am here in Dallas, and I saw him at a show here a few years ago where he 
autographed my cobra book and I took a picture of him with my son.

I knew he was getting on in years, but it still shook me.  he will be 
missed.  some chicken farmer . . .

Agreed. I used them and at any time I can take the tank back and get redone
with the lifetime warranty.

The recommended order is the farthest wheel from the Master to the 
closest wheel.
For a LHD, that would be RR, RL, FR then FL.

I have always heard start with the farthest brake and work inward.  this is 
how I do it, but I am curious as to why this is.

I will say that speed bleeders make life so much better.  and on some cars, 
an impact wrench to pull the wheels as well!

I have a frozen brake line (from sitting for years) I completely stripped the flange nut even with a proper wrench. In hindsight I should have used a propane torch, oh well. too late now

This is the one coming right off the brake master cylinder. Anyone have one to part with?

I also used the furthest first rule when prepping the race car each week.
If you don't have a speed bleeder it helps to have five kids, all of whom
knew how to pump and hold the brake pedal by the time they were eight years
old.

*************************************************

  With each pump of the pedal, you push new brake fluid down the line.  But
with each release of the pedal, the fluid decompresses and at little bit
flows back up the line.  If you started with the short line, a bit of the
old wet brake fluid would come back into the line above the split,
contaminating the fluid you are now going to compress into the next line.
By flushing the longest line first, you get most of the old stuff out.  And
then each lift and back flow is good clean new fluid.

  Or maybe it's because I learned to do it from dad at age 9 on a 1960 DKW
750 Junior, and we always did it that way right up through his 1990 Maxima,
his last car.  And as I remember it, when I asked dad why he did it that
way, he said because his dad taught him to do it that way.  Was good enough
for me!

  All this got me wondering about the whole process so I pulled two old
automotive service text books I have.  Both are Stockel manuals published
back in 1969.  They agree to start with the longest line, but do not
explain why.

  At the race barn, I always enjoyed bleeding the brakes.  Might be because
my tool of choice was a bag of Wise potato chips to munch on while I pumped
the brakes!

Andy Cost always recommended backing the car rear end up on ramps helped bring
the air bubbles to the top.
I do that now every time, as I need to lift the car to get enough access

Richard,

There are carpet kits available from several of the suppliers listed
on 
311s.org.  For my part, though I recommend taking the car to a good local
trim 
shop and have it custom fabricated and installed.  I went that route
when I had 
my '66 done some years ago, and I believe the results are superior
to the kits.  
For one thing, I had the trim shop make the floor carpet in one
piece from front 
to rear, which eliminates the "bunching" to which the front
piece of two-piece 
kits is prone.

Gary

Message-ID: <002301cd343d$ca64de70$5f2e9b50$@cox.net>

There are two sets of Throttle Linkages pulling open the carburetor's (one
per carb).
One of these broke off a socket end so I lost one carburetor while at full
song in 3 gear going up the last 2 curves on HWY154 before my exit. 7000RPM
~ 100mph = Big Smile. I coasted off at West Camino Cielo and limped home the
last mile onto our private driveway and walked the last 600 yards, also a
Big Smile. (Like surviving an emergency parachute drop I suppose)

As I recall these parts are made of un-obtainium, but if you know where I
can get just 1/2 of 1 set (Just 1 rod end) I would be very grateful. These
are made with 2 sets of threaded rod-ends and a union w/two jamb nuts.

I have emailed Wolf racing already and awaiting a response, but I'm only
hopeful there.

The remainder broken piece can be seen here:

The socket end is still on the carb.

They are such a radical departure from my 14 year Pirelli p6's I must say.
The Pirelli's were as hard as rocks and 1/2 as sticky. Living on the San
Marcos pass and driving down Old San Marcos Road almost daily, the Pirelli's
tested my sanity. The question was which end was going to step out at any
time, and could I stop if I had too?

The new tires are so good, that I've gotten up on two wheels twice already
and it stops on a dime. These are really street legal Solo I/II tires and
they feel sooooo good.


I'm sorry I missed you guys at Solvang again this year. I only live here,
but I couldn't get over there due to other live priorites.
I did see a 10+ Roadster caravan coming up near the bottom of HWY 154 on
that Friday mid morning.  I honked & waved like a maniac from a giant

slowed traffic jam.) My wife said I cried, but I don't think so. (Ok I did)

Message-ID: <001c01cd3506$d8599d80$890cd880$@cox.net>

I've been told the 1600 or 1500 SU linkages (drag links?) will work.
I have a spare set of 2000 SU's that were shoe-horned onto a wildly ported
1600 manifold w/isolators. These links are too long.
If I get desperate enough, I may have to put them on and save some gas too.
But who really wants track-able & tame street type throttle response when
you can have hit me over the head with on/off power?

The remainder broken piece can be seen here:

The socket end I took off the car last night was a little caramelized. I
guess I delayed getting the heat shield installed, just a little too long.
(over the center cylinders)

So if you know where/who I can get some linkages for, please advise me.

Message-ID: <1337401185.90534.YahooMailClassic@web184413.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

To all you fans out there with Datsun or Nissan Race cars or just fans of
racing in general I am very proud to be able to tell everyone finally about
the Legends of Datsun/Nissan racing event hosted by the Riverside
International Automotive Museum and put on with help of the Vintage Sedan
Racers Group(VSRG) and honoring John Morton for his incredible racing career.
We have 2 nights at The Riverside museum  on June 21-22 to spend the evening
with a wide variety of people that raced, built or sold racing parts from the
60s through the early 2000s and the guest list includes famous teams and
independent racers from all areas and all types of road racing. I cannot
possibly list all the people but you can count on there being many of the BRE
team and a bunch of the guys from Electramotive,and NPTI as well as many of
the privateers. We will have some panel discussions as well as some videos and
a catered dinner on friday evening with a bar. Adam Carolla will
 be there with a few of his historic Datsun Race cars. If this part of the
event was  not enough we also have 3 days of vintage racing tied in at the
local California Speedway with the big summer event with HSR West racing and
we will have a large B-sedan/Trans-Am race as well as an all Datsun race for
the rest of the cars. We don't have all the details on the track event entry
costs for spectators yet but we are trying to work out a way to lower the cost
at the track.  
We will have limited seats for this event. We will be encouraging participants
to bring items for the charity auction and hopefully something so we can
create a permanent display of the rich history of Nissan at Riverside Raceway
we will have a bunch of Datsun Race cars to enjoy and a very enjoyable weekend
of events. John Morton will be driving a 510 at the track event on Sat and
Sunday. Please go to www.LegendsofRiverside.com/Tribute to purchase tickets
and follow the list of invitees as we post them. By the way the charities we
are helping are the Boys Republic which is Chad McQueens efforts to help at
risk youth and the Paralyzed Veterans of America San Diego chapter which has a
motorsports program that one of our B-sedan racers Duane Norman is the head of
their efforts. Thank you all and look forward to seeing many of you at the
events.Les Cannaday

I've just ordered some all metal links from Pierce Manifolds. (No
caramelizing of plastic socket ends)
The socket ends will accept the 5/16" balls on our carbs and the center
adjustment screw will need to get shortened a little bit.
http://www.piercemanifolds.com/product_p/75500.070.htm. I also ordered some
return springs as well.

Also I really didn't want folks to break up working or complete sets.

Thank you for the several offers I received, the Roadster Ring is working
great!

Subject: [Roadsters] Still looking for Throttle Linkage parts. (2000 solex
or 1600/1500)

I've been told the 1600 or 1500 SU linkages (drag links?) will work.
I have a spare set of 2000 SU's that were shoe-horned onto a wildly ported
1600 manifold w/isolators. These links are too long.
If I get desperate enough, I may have to put them on and save some gas too.
But who really wants track-able & tame street type throttle response when
you can have hit me over the head with on/off power?

The remainder broken piece can be seen here:
https://skydrive.live.com/embed?cid=2A590C41F68A7CF7&resid=2A590C41F68A7CF7%
21280&authkey=ACjhtDTW0XlzpdM

The socket end I took off the car last night was a little caramelized. I
guess I delayed getting the heat shield installed, just a little too long.
(over the center cylinders)

So if you know where/who I can get some linkages for, please advise me.

Thank you,

The mailing lists do not allow attachments, basically to help keep bad 
things out
of your mailboxes.  But one can post photos in the forums, which I basically
got working last night.  Link below.  Still some issues, like user 
avatars not
being displayed, but one can log in and post, or read existing posts with
no trouble.

Henry,

I think have heard of once instance of a 240Z motor being put into a 
roadster, with great difficulty.  Most people have opted for KA24 or SR20DE 
motors.  There are several potential swaps discussed on the 311s.org site.

Two 1600s, only good for parts. Both have been parked and in the weather since
approximately 1990. My father was a lurker on the list, rarely posted. He
passed away last Sunday, and I am in NC helping Mom. If anyone has interest in
saving these from the scrap yard please email me at robbieharrison at comcast.net
. One appears to have a complete drivetrain, second is mi ssing carbs. A
flatbed will be needed to move them. Mom is very understanding (she's letting
all 3 2000s stay in the lean-to shed), but she would like these to be gone
before summer is over. I can send pictures if anyone is interested. I won't
kid anybody, these cars are far beyond restorable, but if you need mechanical
parts, don't live too far away, B and have the ability to dispose of the cars,
they might be worth hauling away. I'm heading back to CT in a couple days, so
I won't be able to part them out.

I've seen pics of two; one a racer. Lotsa work and hood clearance issues.

What does "enough torque I'm looking for" mean? You don't say whether you have a R16 or U20 nor whether you've even driven a stock engine. 

Pete Brock and John Morton did okay with 'em.

I think you'll find that the rear axle has to be extracted slightly to 
get the old ones out as well as re-insert the new.
This is a definite if you are wanting to instal longer wheel studs.

Actually, there is another way.  If you don't mind drilling an appropriately sized hole in the backing plate you can insert new, longer studs through the hole.  I used that technique to put long ARP studs on my car - then used a lug nut to "pull" the stud into the flange.  If you're careful, you can drill the hole in the right spot and then use a rubber plug to seal it back up if so desired.
Doing it this way doesn't require pulling the collar off of the axle which is a PITA.
Good luck,

The rear wheel bearings are lubricated by the gear oil in the diff, you don't repack them like you do at the front.  the issue with putting longer studs into the flange at the rear is that you have to take the backing plate off which requires removing the bearing collar (retainer).  It typically has to be cut off - it's something to be avoided unless you're changing the rear axle bearings anyway...

The rear axle bearings are in fact packed with grease.  There is a 
"GREASE CATCHER" outboard of the axle bearing and an oil seal inboard 
of the bearing that is pressed into the housing that prevents the 
diff oil from getting to the bearing unless it fails.  It is possible 
to regrease the bearing with a grease gun nozzle tip that has a very 
small opening and a relatively long tip.  These tips are available at 
auto supply stores.  Axle bearing grease is recommended.

It is not recommended that the bearing be removed and then reused 
because it is likely that the bearing will be damaged during its 
removal.  A bearing retainer collar should never be reused.  These 
parts are available from Nissan.

I have some kits available that include the bearing, collar and grease catcher.

Actually, unlike many British sports cars of old, Datsun Roadster rear 
bearings are not lubricated by the differential oil. Here'a link from our 
old Mt. Shasta Meet friend and long-time Roadster enthusiast, Tom Walter, 
regarding the rear bearings:

I took some pictures yesterday, they can be seen on Google+ by using the link below. If the rain lets up I'll take a few more pictures before heading back to CT tomorrow. 



Not looking to get anything for these cars, just need them to go to a new home. Dad would want them to help keep other roadsters on the road.

Two 1600s, only good for parts. Both have been parked and in the weather since 
approximately 1990. My father was a lurker on the list, rarely posted. He 
passed away last Sunday, and I am in NC helping Mom. If anyone has interest in 
saving these from the scrap yard please email me at robbieharrison at comcast.net 
. One appears to have a complete drivetrain, second is mi ssing carbs. A 
flatbed will be needed to move them. Mom is very understanding (she's letting 
all 3 2000s stay in the lean-to shed), but she would like these to be gone 
before summer is over. I can send pictures if anyone is interested. I won't 
kid anybody, these cars are far beyond restorable, but if you need mechanical 
parts, don't live too far away, B and have the ability to dispose of the cars, 
they might be worth hauling away. I'm heading back to CT in a couple days, so 
I won't be able to part them out.

Subject: [Roadsters] 5 th Gear vibration
Message-ID: <1337543485.20271.YahooMailRC@web180416.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Hello,

Experiencing a vibration in the car's chassis in 5th gear only. As
soon as I 
shift into 5th the vibration starts. The vibration is strongest at
or below 
3,000 RPM and weakens as the RPM climbs to and over 3,500.
Engine is completely rebuilt (new everything including clutch) and all of the
trans seals and bearings were replaced. No syncro's or gears were replaced.
All 
looked good and the 5th gear was replaced to the new version by the
previous 
owner. 


I ruled out the drive shaft balance because when down
shifting from 5th to 4th 
at the same RPM and the vibration immediately goes
away.

Good idea Pete. I just checked, I registered these years ago :-) 

Red is SPL311-31112 

Silver is SPL311-27414

Robbie I'm sorry to hear that your Dad will never get to these
projects. I bet he thought about them many times the past 20 years
they've been sitting.  We vacation on the Outer Banks every year, and
we've taken our 69 1600 to Corolla, at the north end.  This year I'll
tip the sun visor for your father as we head toward Rt. 12 ...

  hi henry, you are on the right track to boost the power in your car,
but i think to put a longer engine in, you will have to move the fire wall
back some to clear the eng. also a 74 eng. would be an L-26, 260Z
eng. with bad carbs, which you would want to change.
  i would recommend a stock U-20 (2000 eng.). i put a U-20
in a 1600(it bolts right in), and kept the stock 3.89 rear end,
and the 4 speed trans(1st and 2nd gears are lower than a
5 spd). i ran the 1600 against my stock 2000 and it beat the
2000, by 8 car lengths, up to 80 mph, after which my 2000
started to gain back a little. they were both stock 2000 engs.
  just my opinion. best of luck, bob smith, ohio

  Come on Bob, the L26 will fit without moving the firewall!  Of course
you'll have to relocate the radiator to the back seat!  Everything else
sounds good.

 thanks paul, i guess nothing is impossible. ill
admitt i never saw the 240z eng. swap. i was
making an educated guess, knowing how
tight it is under the hood.  so, was the end
of the L-24 sticking out of the roadster's hood ?

I'm so glad to be living on the west coast in somewhat dry weather.  It is sad
to see so much work of the tim worm on those cars. Happy to see that those
cars 
could be put to some use.

  There was a L24 swap into a roadster that was never finished.  The engine
fit, and the grille was on, but no radiator was to be seen under the hood?
  But I do remember a bug eyed Sprite with a 4.2 liter Jag straight 6 that
was done quite nicely.

Outstanding!

But why the early animosity towards the Z? And maybe this explains the 
lack of Roadster?

Great video, but he isn't in Seattle (we don't salt the roads here). Or at
least that wasn't filmed in Seattle. The scenery looks more like Eastern
Washington.

Hi Bill
Does a 67.5 hood fit on a 68?
I'm looking for a hood to use while mine gets painted and there is a guy
parting a 67.5.
Someone I know has a boyfriend who really likes my car and she asked if I
would sell, so I threw out the highest number I could think of at the moment,
15k.LOL Then I'd have to start over!
Long weekend coming up, here comes summer

Linda,

Seems to me the hood prop rod is on the opposite side, but it will still 
bolt up and latch. Someone with real documentation should let you know 
for sure.

I have a 67.5 and the prop rod is on the driver's side.

Peace,
Pat

The hood prop rod is also on the driver's side on my '69 2000.

If anyone is looking for a hood, I have one that has never been installed,
still in primer grey, and in perfect condition (no dents, scratches or
rust)... the factory part number on the hood is "65100 A 3201".  I won't
give it away, but will be reasonable on the price.

I think there's a bit of a difference in the hood latchB striker and how it
mounts. I wound up with a later hood on my 67.5 and had to fabricate an
adapter plate to make it fit right.

Linda,

Like some of  the others, I have a late hood on ly early ('66) car.  (It was 
what was available in 1973 when I had an unfortunate close encounter of the 
worst kind.)

The hood prop on my '67-1/2 is on the left, but the I think the late hoods 
had shorter guides, on the hood rather than on the body, with the pivot on 
the body.  Notice I said "I think".  I have not been around any 
high-windshield cars lately, so I am not sure.

In any event, if you use a late hood, I think it is likely you will need to 
somehow compensate for differences in hood prop configuration -- like with a 
temporary prop work-around -- if the early hood thing is just temporary.

Gary

Subject: [Roadsters] Finally!
Message-ID: <CAFEMhEvv+3OdGKAWJmCOnTRxNVogwj9E8pzS_nsXzQXQcieKVA@mail.gmail.com>

  I finally turned my winter shelf back into a roadster this morning.  It
fired right up and after checking a few things, I took it for a spin around
the block. Got back home and decided it needed a good wash.
  Wonder why I waited so long?  Over the winter I had thoughts of selling
it.  Had my eye on a RL411 SSS.  Thankfully it was sold before I could
drive to Delaware and drag it home.  Maybe another roadster?

Maybe you like to tinker more than drive? In which case there is always
another"project" to buy. Well, whatever you like, that's cool.:-)

I think Victor needs his picture taken--the Rock Store and Snake to Malibu.

Hey all,

Found this article in the Green Bay Press Gazette.  Thought some of you might
be interested.  Its not roadster, but is nissan.  Sad story, but probably
should have known better.

  How stupid, and what a waste.  Confiscate the cars, yes.  Crush them,
NO!  Why not auction them off and use the money to help support the court?
Make the new owner legalize the cars before taking possession.  Only a
laywer could come up with destroying perfectly good cars.

I agree, I think the issue is that the VIN tags were removed.  So if the state
sells them, they are just as guilty.  Still a shame to crush them.  They could
at least be movie cars.  Or show cars or even museum pieces.  Just don't
destroy them.

  So Nissan can't determine what the VIN was?  Too bad they weren't
roadsters.  The VIN would be stamped on the frame.  Still a shame to have
them destroyed.  If nothing else, sell off some parts.  Will that motor fit
i a roadster?   Hmmmm?

The article indicated that the VIN tags were with/near the car and all numbers
matched.
Vin number is stamped on the body, firewall I think?
The owner rightly indicated that the tags are held on by plastic do-dads not
rivets, they indicate level of trim, gear box configuration size of engine,
etc.
Why he didn't put them back on is weird, he said the PO took them off/ or the
came off and posted them to him after he had the cars. May have been for
painting or the do-dads go brittle with the heat.

Senseless waste of time money and effort.

Roadster content:
My car has not been crushed, but it is still waiting patiently in the garage
for me to do a restoration.
She never complains, maybe that's the problem.

  So Nissan can't determine what the VIN was?  Too bad they weren't
roadsters.  The VIN would be stamped on the frame.  Still a shame to have
them destroyed.  If nothing else, sell off some parts.  Will that motor fit
i a roadster?   Hmmmm?

  The VIN tag on my roadster had several layers of over spray on it when I
purchased the car.  I use a dab of solvent to try and clean it.  The next
thing I know, I have a shiny metal tag.  No words, no letters, just the
last part on the VIN that is stamped on the tag.  Am I in violation of that
law?

I was thinking that if you had a copy of the plate lettering at the correct
size you could print it on to a piece of clear vinyl sheet and then lay it
down on the shiny metal plate. Vinyl would need to be like those stickers they
put on your windsheild at oil change places.

Found this article in the Green Bay Press Gazette.  Thought some of you might
be interested.  Its not roadster, but is nissan.  Sad story, but probably

Interesting story, Dan. Looks like the guy's mistake was trying to sell
them before Wisconsin's 25-year rule might have helped.


Maryland has a law about serial number plates and stampings, mostly applied
to firearms. Those without are melted down. But they aren't sold on the
open market. Putting the car there was a good way to provoke authorities.

I wasn't real impressed by a response said to be from the guy himself among
posted comments, suggesting he would have waited until a potential buyer
came and laid money on the table before disclosing there was no title.

Good way to provoke the buyer.

Article says he's got 'the means,' = $$; maybe he could have gotten a
better lawyer. Didn't even see a quote from defense counsel, only the
government.

This being Memorial Day I hope everyone has taken the time to thank those who
gave their lives  so we are able to live ours as we do.  I have been having a
problem with the idle on my 1969 2000 SU carb no emission car. I can set it
then go for a ride and when I stop at a light the idle keeps dropping off it
100 or less or it stalls. At high idles it's fine. I gave up and took it "The
Guy" wit 40 plus years on SU knowledge.  Long story short he thought is is a
distributor problem. I opened it up and there it was a broken spring sitting
at the bottom. So this leads me to my questions. On the timing lever plate it
is marked 7.5; I looked at my supply of parts and some are marked 17.5.
Why?Are the weights different on the 2 distributors? How do you tell them
apart?Are the springs different between  the  one marked 7.5 and the 17.5
distributor? How do you tell them apart?Where the vacuum advance is attacked
to the housing I see the a 17.5 stamped in ink on the 17.5 marked timing
lever. Are the 7.5 ones not marked?is the vacuum advance different between the
2?  Dana S1969 2000

Weights are the same, springs are different. 7.5 is the non-smog advance cam.
For that cam, one spring is real heavy wire and the other is a lighter weight
spring. The heavy spring goes on the cam side with the longer slot.  The
shorter loop of the heavy spring gets connected to the weight not to the cam
slot.

Happy Memorial Day

To amplify a bit, the 17.5 curve increases the total advance beyond ideal
performance as part of coping with the 'smog pump,' a U.S.-imposed
contraption that injected a portion of exhaust fumes into the fresh air
intake manifold.

Removing the smog pump was supposed to be combined with recurving the
distributor to the superior, non-U.S. specs for mechanical and vacuum
timing advance. (Vacuum is not changed, but make sure it's functional,
since the diaphragm and line can fail).

There are still examples out there where the pump is long gone but the
distributor was never recurved.  Worth checking. It's a very easy retrofit.
Use a dwell meter to check shaft wobble while you're at it.

Are the springs available or anyone know the sizes? I imagine they should be

Linda,

Both Dean and Dann offer recurve kits which have the non-smog springs,
cam and 
weights.  Others may as well.  They may also have just the springs,
but I 
haven't checked.  I don't know whether the emissions control
configuration 
springs are still available or not.  If interested, I can look
the part up the 
part numbers.  As Paul indicated, all you need is the 7.5 cam
and springs.  I 
think Nissan lists different vacuum control units for
pre-smog and smog 
distributors, but I think the calibration was the same. 
Let me know if you want 
the numbers.

Gary

Gary has sent me an excellent explainer of Nissan's antipollution
system that included different distributor weights and springs for the
U.S. market. He gently corrected my misunderstanding of the "smog
pump," by pointing out it injects air, not exhaust fumes !!! Over the
years, the notion of a "smog pump" and how it seemed like such an
afterthought, made for a much darker grasp of the matter, for me.
Thanks Gary for the illumination.

My 311still had the "smog pump" on there.  The car had 41,000 original
miles when I bought it in 1984, and as far as I could tell, the air
injection system still worked. I got a set of 7.5 degree mechanical
advance weights and countersprings and installed them when I took it
off, and the car's performance improved quite a lot.

  hi dave, i think i have to differ with you on the attractiveness of the
tiger(or sunbeam alpine). i think it is much prettier, and better
proportioned than the datsun roadster. the final word on this,
has to be my wife jeanine, who said she LIKED the alpine. in
40 years of marriage, she has never liked any of the other
old cars ive had, including the datsun 2000. just my opinion.

  hi dave, i think i have to differ with you on the attractiveness of the
tiger(or sunbeam alpine). i think it is much prettier, and better
proportioned than the datsun roadster. the final word on this,
has to be my wife jeanine, who said she LIKED the alpine. in
40 years of marriage, she has never liked any of the other
old cars ive had, including the datsun 2000. just my opinion.

Linda,

Never heard of one breaking, but I suppose they do.  I haven't worried
about it 
-- they're not heavily loaded, nor do they move very much.  Still,
everything 
eventually fatigues...

My recommendation:  Don't bother unless
you're taking the distributor apart for 
other reasons.  If you have never
dismantled your distributor to check and 
lubricate the weights under the
breaker plate, you should do so.  Can't tell you 
how many cars I have found
with gummed up mechanical advance mechanisms.  
Replacing the springs at that
time wouldn't be a bad idea, although I have never 
done so.

Gary

Hi Gary
Just wondering about replacing the springs, rather than waiting for one to
break. Anyone do that?

Be careful the Tiger owners would be dismayed to be compared to an alpine.
Tigers had a V8 (in an alpine body) and were quite speedy.  My 2000 was not
a match ofi them on a straight line when it was new.

There's no accounting for style / taste, I suppose.

But in my view, the Sunbeam's older body style (with the higher
tail-fins) suggested to me a 1960 Mercury Comet. Something your
great-Aunt would drive. And the front end of the Sunbeam looked like a
Grouper, and the fish was in a bad mood at that.

I've also heard that there was a standard 500-mile maintenance for Tigers:
Re-tighten every bolt in the car... ;^)

They had what, the Ford 260 V-8 was it?

I have had my cars called, MG's, Sunbeams (and Tiger), Fiat, and assorted  
"other-side-of-the-pond" models.  Unless someone has owned or known someone  
who has owned a Datsun, they never get it right.  The joy of their  
surprise when they learn it's Japanese.

Message-ID: <6577b.641f0d6b.3cf79c85@aol.com>

Trying to keep my numbers matching G motor for one of the Single Carb 1500  
running.  I have an option on a crank that has been turned .20 under on the 
 main bearings and has sat for years and is somewhat rusted, so the shop 
thinks  we may have to turn it another .10 under.  
 
Anyone have any sources for Crank Main Bearings that are .30 under for the  
1500 (understand the 1600 three main is the same too)?
 
Any help on sources would greatly be appreciated.

Why not have them turn it to fit the bearings that are available:

Subject: [Roadsters] Trying to source crank main bearings

Trying to keep my numbers matching G motor for one of the Single Carb 1500
running.  I have an option on a crank that has been turned .20 under on the
main bearings and has sat for years and is somewhat rusted, so the shop
thinks  we may have to turn it another .10 under.  
 
Anyone have any sources for Crank Main Bearings that are .30 under for the
1500 (understand the 1600 three main is the same too)?
 
Any help on sources would greatly be appreciated.

My dad bought a '60 or '61 Mercury Comet -- a concession to smaller, more
efficient cars.  What a POS.  I remember putting the accelerator to the floor
from a standing start and getting liesurely acceleration.  He replaced it with
a 
'63 Olds Super 88 in early '63.  (394 CID, 4-barrel carburetor, 330 HP, ran
like 
a scalded dog, 8-12 mpg @ ~$0.28/gallon).

Now, if memory serves,
Mercury brought out a little gem called the Comet 
Caliente in 1964 -- nice
lines, big motor, four-speed manual, convertible.  
Wanted one of those, but
Mother wouldn't go for it.

Re: [Roadsters] Is it a Tiger?

There's no accounting for style / taste, I
suppose.

But in my view, the Sunbeam's older body style (with the higher
tail-fins) suggested to me a 1960 Mercury Comet. Something your
great-Aunt
would drive. And the front end of the Sunbeam looked like a
Grouper, and the
fish was in a bad mood at that.

Gary,

I recall it was a Ford 260, also.  Added lots of weight compared to the
4 in the 
Alpine.  Ran great in a straight line, but, as I recall, had
problems changing 
direction.

Tigers
had a V8 (in an alpine body) and were quite speedy.  My 2000 was not

The Tiger came with Ford V8's, most had a 260CI and later ones a 289CI. It
was rumored that the Tiger would get a 318ci Mopar engine after Chyrsler
bought out the Rootes Group, owner of Sunbeam, but the 318's size was too
big. Ultimately the Chrysler buy out of Rootes killed the Tiger because of
its Ford engine.

On the Datsun side of things. While I was in high school a local kid put a
289 into a Datsun Roadster. It flew down the 1//4 mile. I gave thought to
buying it, but that never panned out.

 There were two version of the Tiger the Mark One with a 260 and the Mark 2
With a 289 but 5 or so Mark Ones had the 289 and a buddy in college had one. 
Would out run most anything in Fort Wayne at the time As he used to say when
asked if it was a 4 banger " lesson to the exhaust one says I'm four other say
me TOO." As for the turning question that is what the load petal is for . 
I'd
love to have one now but most had the bad habit of cracking the frame rails at
the fire wall if used like it was made for.

I believe that Chrysler tried to use their 273(same block as the 318, but
was lighter and had physically smaller heads) but as Dave, said too big.
Even the Ford small block was real tight, the right bank rear spark plug had
to be changed from the passenger compartment via an under dash removable
panel.  In the end for both appearance and handling the older AC
chassis(which in stock form used a number of different inline sixes) was a
far better choice than the Alpine for the power of the 260/289.

I heard a great story (could be apocryphal) about Rootes' first look at the
Tiger. Carroll Shelby had built the first prototype and it was sent to
England for evaluation. 

Lord Rootes (who was fairly elderly at the time) looked the car over and
decided to go for a ride. His son offered to drive, but Lord Rootes said,
no, he'd drive it himself. This made the engineers pretty nervous.

So off went Lord Rootes with his son, and a Rover sedan was sent out as a
chase car in case anything broke. The Rover turned back within a mile
because they couldn't keep up.

A few minutes later they heard this small-block Ford V8 come screaming down
the road. The Tiger went flying past the factory gate with Lord Rootes' hair
streaming in the wind. He came back, parked the car in the courtyard and
announced, "We'll build it!"

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Is it a Tiger?

The Tiger came with Ford V8's, most had a 260CI and later ones a 289CI. It
was rumored that the Tiger would get a 318ci Mopar engine after Chyrsler
bought out the Rootes Group, owner of Sunbeam, but the 318's size was too
big. Ultimately the Chrysler buy out of Rootes killed the Tiger because of
its Ford engine.

On the Datsun side of things. While I was in high school a local kid put a
289 into a Datsun Roadster. It flew down the 1//4 mile. I gave thought to
buying it, but that never panned out.

Actually it could be made to handle acceptably well, but it did tend towards
understeer.

When I was autocrossing my roadster in the late 1970's in Improved B, there
were typically four cars battling it out in Improved A: two Corvettes, a
Lotus Elan and a Sunbeam Tiger. A lot of times they were all within a
half-second of each other. It was fun to watch.

Gary,

I recall it was a Ford 260, also.  Added lots of weight compared to the
4 in the
Alpine.  Ran great in a straight line, but, as I recall, had problems
changing direction.

I've also heard that there was a standard 500-mile maintenance for Tigers:
Re-tighten every bolt in the car... ;^)

They
had what, the Ford 260 V-8 was it?

Be
careful the Tiger owners would be dismayed to be compared to an alpine.
Tigers
had a V8 (in an alpine body) and were quite speedy.  My 2000 was not a match
ofi them on a straight line when it was new.

Tech section has the Parts Interchange section too which is nice and shows
that 510 shoes fit the Roadster. Be sure to get the right length. That is what
I am using

green stuff is really good.
