Drum brake pad epoxy? SRL311 Message-ID: <007101cd88ba$00b6ffa0$0224fee0$@com> Hello friends, We are making progress on the roadster but today feels a little like one step forward and two steps back. Nolie had done a very nice job of removing, cleaning and inspecting all of the rear brakes. While we were putting everything back together we noticed that the bond between the shoe and liner was weak. We now have two paths. Clean and re-glue the pads. I have found this in small enough containers to be the right scale: http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/Bonding-Adhesive-holds-up-to-450-F-48891 2 Does anyone have better pad bonder suggestions? Or second path, step up to the rear disc swap. For the rear brake swap I have found this guide: http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.200sxRearBrake . Are there others examples on the net? Does anyone sell a kit to do the rear brake swap that will fit with 14" wheels? Is this rear brake swap in proportion with the Volvo 4 piston front brake upgrade? What master cylinder is best with the Volvo swap in the front and 200SX brakes in the rear?

So I'll post my info here. The article uses Dormax part number 85806 sockets with just a slight modification to make it fit down in the light body. About 3 minutes with a Dremel tool does the trick. What the article did not say was what bulb to use. The Dormax package recommends an 1156 bulb, but it is two fat to fit down inside. I found a type 89 would work, but is a bit short and would sit way down inside the body of the light. I'll probably use them on the rear side lights. They are rated at 13 volts, 7.5 watts. Then I found a type 105, 12.8 volts, 12.8 watts, that has the same base, but is about 3/8" taller. That allows the filament to sit above the body of the light so it should be brighter. Has anyone had problems with melting the lenses using a 12 watt bulb? I'd hate to lose one of mine experimenting.

It is also a moment with my son to look at the parts we have and determine if they can be used. Instead of ordering everything new, if we have something in stock, we are looking at it much closer instead of tossing it aside. The project of cleaning the steel and friction surface to prepare it for bonding could be a good experience. Today we are taking the truck to my grandfather's shed to bring home the rest of my roadster parts. There may be a second 200sx caliper and perhaps some disks. If that is the case, we may jump right to the rear brake conversion idea. This is the first car project I have had that is more about the journey than the finish.

More an issue up front than at the rear of the roadster.

The goal was to bring back the rest of the roadster parts so we can get the car back up to speed. One of the things we found was my childhood toy box. It had been hand painted safety orange (a project with my grandfather when I was about 8) and then decorated with racing stickers I collected over the next half dozen years. Inside the box were treasures from my past. Saved copied of Mad Magazine, Hot Rod, Drag Racing News.... Then there was one more that stood out. It is a Datsun Roadster Review, April 1985 from the Datsun Roadster Association. This wonderful little magazine was edited by Ross Mullen and full of roadster details. There are advertisements from Rally Enterprises, Roadster Restoration in Freemont, B.R.E. and others. The centerfold has an announcement for the July 13-14 1985 West coast meet in Mount Shasta. In the classifieds there are several roadsters like a 64 1500 for $600, a one owner 68 all original for $2800 and a fully restored 64 for $3800. I wonder if anyone has taken the time to scan these old magazines and share them on the net. I will be happy to donate this one to the effort if someone can post it somewhere.

I had a 32/26 on my 72 bmw 2002 when i got it and wasn't really impressed with it. Then i put a 38/38 on it, everyone talked about how much more gas i was going to guzzle, etc. It took the cars fun factor up more than a few notches. Oh and that 'extra gas'??? Yeah...so on a tank of gas i MAYBE used an extra 1/3 of a gallon...it was so marginal, it was a shame more people weren't riding w/them vs. the 32/36. W/your setup, I'd bet you could really benefit from the 38/38. Dave On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 1:46 PM, Gary McCormick wrote: > I had a downdraft Weber on my '70 PL521.

If you change side gears to the correct spline the P/U center can be swapped into a Roadster (or 510 wagon). Here is a link to a post I did on the Ratsun message board detailing the side gear swap.

L521 pickups came with J13 engines and 4.88 differential gears. PL521 pickups came with L16 engines and 4.37 differential gear. The PL521 pickups came with rectangular side marker lamps front and rear. The L521 pickups came with side reflectors. The L520 pickup production ended in mid 1968. The early L521 trucks were very similar to the L520 except for the sheet metal in front of the windshield. PL521 pickups started with the 1970 model. The pictures of the truck don't show any indication of side markers. L520 dash tops were painted sheet metal while PL521 dash tops were vinyl and cracked in the normal manner. It is possible to install a L520 dash top in a PL521 without much effort. Stan ===== At 04:41 AM 9/6/2012, David Patten wrote: >To add to Ronnie's info the L16 powered 521 had 4.375 rear gears.

That is interesting that you have found Redline oil to stand out in the ability to find small places to drip from. Yes, the car has been sitting a while (20+ years). I didn't want to try something like a leak seal because of the clutch pack in the limited slip. Nolie is trying to win a bet and drive the car in a little more than a week. We may just go ahead and make a few laps around the neighborhood before pulling the seal, Best regards, Nolan From: Paul Kort [mailto:paulsdatsunstuff at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 3:46 AM To: Nolan Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Rear end seal leak/How to pull the seal? Whatever you do, don't run Red Line oil unless you fix that 'small' drip. Red Line will make it a "BIG" drip. Has the roadster been off the road for awhile? The seal may recover after a hundred miles or so. And you might want to try some leak seal first. Tear down is a last resort.

Message-ID: It isn't terribly hard to do. Last time I checked, Nissan carried the seal. Drop the drive shaft and remove the big nut holding the pinion yoke on. The yoke will slide off and the seal can be removed and replaced. The yoke and nut go back on. In theory you should be good to go. The possible snag is the pre load. Using a ruler and a spring scale you can measure the pre load. If it is correct life is good. If not there are spacers and shims between the yoke and bearing that need adjusted. It is not a crush washer like many American units. Mine ended up too tight and I fabricated a new spacer and lapped it down a thousandth at a time until the pre load was correct. The real answer was to add shims but I could not find any. If you are too loose there are quite likely shims there that can be removed. Do not run with it too tight or you will have a real job on your hands. Too loose is much less of an issue. keith In a message dated 9/19/2012 9:41:38 P.M.

The car has been sleeping for more than 30years on the French Riviera, needs a new paint, chrome job, interior cleaning, and brakes servicing. + some little other things that make the charm of any restoration projects ! However, I have a 1st quetion : Does anybody could help me furtherly identify "my" car ? There's no title, and no plates too. The only things I have at the moment are the remains of a chassis identification plate and of an 81' tax revalidation sticker from Florida. (pics attached) Am I right when I identify chassis number : 21579, and engine number : 64523 ? I would also like to know : - its original color combo, - if I can get a new chassis identification plate, - if I can get any further history in the USA.

Your questions can be answered here, but also on the other forum at www.311s.org. There you can post a picture of your car. You must take a photo of your car as you cruise the French Riviera, so beautiful there! Red was one of the original colors and the code to reproduce it is available.

Please refer to http://www.datsunroadster.com/INFO_PAGES/identifying_your_car.htm to try to identify your car.

The setup is complete so all you would need is a gasket and a heat shield and you would be good to go. I have a heat shield, so I can make a paper template for a DIY heat shield so you won't have to shell out for it :-) Email me if interested and I can send through some photos.

A question. Can I take a 1600's differential and install the ring gear from a 2000? The 1600 is 9:35 (4.88) ((pinion to ring gear)) and the 2000 is 10:37 (3.70) ((pinion to ring gear)). The result would give me a 9:37 (4.11). Will it work, or what would I need to do to make it work? My 1600's cam puts the power range above 3K, so starting on a hill involves much clutch slipping.
