The 4X4 roadster would fill both of the needs. Until I showed it to my wife that is.

If the brakes are set up properly then are more than adequate for this 2000 pound car. Drive it sporty and upgrades to bigger brakes might be better but not really needed for 95% of any driving short of the track you will ever do. Congrats on buying the roadster.

That's what makes these cars so much fun! If you aren't already aware of www.311s.org, it's a great site with a tremendous amount of info in the tech wiki section, and help in the forums. A great group of folks. FYI the front brake setup is pretty much the same as found on some Volvos and Jags. Much heavier cars, so there's plenty of reserve capacity. In the rear just make sure everything is working and adjusted properly. No auto adjusters on these things. If you don't already have the finned aluminum drums (I think the '69s did) that's a good upgrade.

The downhill run was done in 2nd gear only using a lot of both gas and brakes on the twisty road. They really stunk at the bottom of the hill, but to my surprise never faded. If I wondered about their effectiveness before going up and down the hill I was thrilled with the brakes after they cooled down. They have worked much better ever since. I have manifolds to connect a single brake line hose to a Volvo caliper, but don't know if I will ever use them.

A resonator changes the tone, certainly. It's easy enough to add one later if you don't like the sound without it. You can use 1 3/4" pipe IF you put a flex pipe section between the header and the rest of the system. Otherwise you'll be chasing rattles and/or broken mounts forever. These engines move around more than the guys at the muffler shop think they do. Been there, done that.

Later cars had the muffler behind the passenger compartment, just ahead of the axle. Shop recommendation is fine. The resonator cuts overall exhaust noise. I think you'd find the car to be too loud without it. I left the resonator off my '78 Civic 1200 when I replaced the exhaust, and it was too buzzy, so I added a resonator. But, it's your choice. Original resonators had smaller-diameter, perforated pipes surrounded by fiberglass -- the iconic "glass-pack". (Original mufflers had just one, cone-shaped, perforated baffle in there middle, so the whole original exhaust was pretty open.) I'd go with 1-3/4 inch. It may be too tight for the frame holes (you should be able to check this with an inside caliper), but a length of the pipe can be slightly flattened on the top and bottom. I put a '69 exhaust system on my '66 car when I substituted a '69 U20 for the original R16. I had to flatten the pipe to keep it from rubbing on the frame.

Depends on the car. There was just one on eBay for around $7,000 which looked OK, but not great. Listing ended. Don't expect to get anything approximating fully restored for those dollars, though. In my opinion, you're better off buynig a good rsut-free car which needs mechanical work and paint, than a rusty example with a newly rebuilt engine. The bodies on these cars are expensive to restore properly once they have begun to rust. I live in the Chicago area, so the only way we find rust-free cars here is to go to California, or maybe Oregon/Washington. There are more roadsters on the left coast than elsewhere in the country because that's where Nissan really first got established. And, no salt. That doesn't mean o rust, but it's sure a safer bet. I looked at a '68 2000 in Indianapolis for a friend a couple of years ago. When I first saw the car, it looked good, cosemetically. A lot of filler had been used to repair rusty areas, though, and by the time I saw it again a year later, rust was starting to appear again. So, my answer is to completely dismantle the car, take it to bare metal, and make sure all rusted areas are removed or properly encapsulated with appropriate coating systems. Both my cars came from California, so serious body rust has never been an issue.

This is a car that weighs in the neighborhood of 4400 pounds. Single chamber MC and the car stops fine. The issue comes if/when a leak happens, a hose blows, a line lets loose or any other problem that could happen. Single chamber cylinder gives zero back up. Had a '64 'Bird many years ago. On the way home from work one afternoon a wheel cylinder went away. I was in traffic and fortunately not going very fast. I had presence of mind to hit the emergency brake and didn't hit anyone. The e-brake is vacuum operated so it was relatively easy to drive the short distance home. Since then I've always made sure brake systems are up to snuff with the best money can buy. But that being said, because the car sits for much of the time and things that don't get used deteriorate, I plan on changing the single chamber over to a dual chamber from a '67 before too long. I'm sure the single chamber MC in the roadster will stop the car with no issues. Until that is, something bad happens to the brake system and the driver isn't aware until too late.

Good choice, getting one that is nearly already restored. I would say, get the best quality you can afford and start from there. Trying to get it cheap with a rust bucket or parts car will cost you grief and money, versus starting with a good platform. Better to grab something great that someone else invested thousands of hours labor and dollars into, but had to let go at a loss. (Some people put $10, $20, even $30 grand into them and sell at less - did so to enjoy the ride.) 1600's are a good choice, as the engines are easier and cheaper to maintain. Parts are readily available. 2000's are more expensive to maintain. I have a '70 1600 and despite all the abuse I gave it over 15 years, the engine simply refuses to die. Also have a 2000 but they need babying. Price is subjective, many variables, be careful. Find a club, and ask a member for tips.

Despite a smooth and friendly sale process thanks to Jamie at Targa Florio Classics, a few obstacles delayed matters: export paperwork, Christmas holidays, UK winter storms delaying the ship, the shipping line losing the export paperwork, getting new export paperwork, Mexican Customs taking their time to clear the car, etc. But all was forgotten when this past Friday, I took the Fulvia out on its maiden voyage on a twisty road in the hills to the west of Mexico City. Although the carbs are still out of tune because of the change in altitude, the engine is very smooth at idle and revs quickly and freely to the redline. The handling is superbly neutral and the suspension is firm but not harsh, a must for a long and bumpy race like La Carrera Panamericana. The body and the build in general are very solid.

It screws into the firewall and attaches to the bracket. I can provide pictures if someone has suggestions, but my thought that a cable from the tach speedometer would work failed, since the housing screw on is too big. Open to suggestions.

I decided it was time to clean out the parts washer. What the heck am I gonna do with all that stuff in the tank? I could take it to the parts store if I could just figure how to get it there. So I double bagged some large garbage bags and put them in a 15 gallon can I use as my trash can in the garage. I then used a can and scooped the liquid and gunk into the bags. I was almost finished; had about 5 gallons of the stuff in the bags. I tipped the washer up to get the last of the stuff. As I tipped the washer with one hand and scooped with the other I lost balance with the washer and it fell over. As it fell it knocked the can with the bags over. It took almost a full bag of oil dry just to stop the flow and another to pick up the residue. The stain will remind me for a long time that I need to be more careful. Oh, and now what do I do with the soaked oil dry?

While we're unlikely to admit it, I think most of us who have worked on cars and motorcycles for many years have had our 'Exxon Valdez' moments. I buy the 50lb bags of Oil Dry, then put smaller amounts in wide mouth shakers for small spills. I converted my potentially strippable aluminum pan cars ('67 E-type and '70 Datsun roadster), as well as the large bore oil reservoir drain on my '89 Carrera, which can empty 6 quarts of hot oil in about 8 seconds, to Fumoto valves. One could argue that a Fumoto doesn't drain the pan completely, but it's a very controllable flow. The 911 has been the source of most of my hazmat issues over the years, even with two four post lifts in the shop!

Message-ID: <517F65AC.4070202@datsun2000.com> Along the same vein of asking has anyone removed the dash cover I will be a little more specific. Has anyone found a way to remove the vinyl covering over the foam underneath with as little damage to the old foam as possible? I want to leave the foam to use as a guide for the new foam and make some form modifications to my spare dash before I take the repaired and modified dash (late model) to a company that can vacuum form a new vinyl cover over the slightly reshaped dash so I can mount a modern radio in the center of the dash just about clock-high or a little higher. I finally took the step of learning how to put new upholstery behind the seats. Now I need to figure out how to recover the door panels to match. The holes for the clips are not in good condition and I could use a suggestion or two about what kind of material to make the new hard backing from and how to permanently bend it into the correct shape.

And they have the right backing materials. I had my low-winshield interior panels redone, except the doors. The shop couldn't match the embossing on the door panels, and I didn't want to look around for one which could. They replaced the elastic in the little pockets and stitched them up, and put the old covering on new backing. Looks like new.
