I still need to do a few test drives before I'll feel sure the problem is resolved, but I think I'm in good shape now. Someone had mentioned the coil wire, so I started my car and let it run for a while. It stalled out like it had been doing and when I went to check the wires on the coil, the coil itself was too hot to touch. when I tried to restart the car, it wouldn't go. I replaced it and the car seems to be running much better.

I hope to hear from more people and have also invited any Datsun that is going to the drive to come along. I don't think I have ever seen an "All Datsun Run" before and I think it would be great. It's a great cause for needy kids and there is no charge to enter the show or the museum, although I plan to make a donation to keep the place that honors ours and other Datsun vehicles open and available to the public. So please contact me off list and I will send you meet directions and a run map. I hope to hear from you!

(I use a small soldering iron) The factory uses a very nasty adhesive that keeps the pointer and the hand-staff mated for life so if you try to use brute force without any heat then you will most likely damage the instrument. You will also need?a calibrated source to get the pointer re-attached in the correct location?once you're done.?Especially since?most of these speedo's are off a country mile before you even?started.?Don't forget to balance the pointer (if you paint it) because an out of balance pointer can throw your readings off by as much as 20 MPH. ?

The stuff made for model airplane fuel (typically clear/white or bluish) is NOT compatible with gasoline. The stuff for gasoline (typically more clear or yellow) is NOT compatible with the model airplane fuel (nitromethane). I believe that the model stuff is silicone tubing. The brand I recall is Tygon. You can get it at a hobby shop, but it is typically MUCH cheaper at a small engine repair place (the lawn mower repair shops for example). The Tygon is great. I found it years ago as a great substitute for the mucho expensive line from the float bowl to the carb. I never thought about replacing the other lines with it, but that is a good idea!

Pete" The L series blocks have a drain fitted to them, it is a hex head plug located about 6" beneath spark plug #4. I would advise removing it and back flushing the engine from that point. Could be a tough job to remove. If it gets trashed, replace it with a BRASS plug to avoid corrosion issues in future. Make sure all othe coolant connections are opened up to allow any flaky crud to escape. If the block has been sitting for a year with some residual coolant in it , it may be quite dirty. When you fill the engine with coolant add some System Cleaner and run that for a few days or as per recommendations. Then you can drain, re-flush and re-fill with a good quality coolant like Nissan Long Life Coolant.

We'll wait for 15 minutes for people to join us and then head South on I-5 where we will pick up Stephen Wan who lives down that way (and he has a nice roadster).

I would expect that to be more of a lower end noise, but have never experienced a loose wrist pin myself. First, try pulling the plug wire to see if it makes a difference in the noise. Then try removing the push rods from #1 one at a time to see if the noise is still there. I've had a similar noise ion the past that turned out to be a loose or broken bolt holding the fan/water pump pulley on. Try removing the fan belt for a quick check. What's the odds that the cam timing gear is loose? Good hunting. Peace, Pat Thusly spake jover4x4@aol.com: > List, > > I am asking for help in diagnosing a valve clatter for a fellow Wycroc member.?

It's the pistons hitting the machined head. The 1600 head can't take much of a trim before the slight dome of the stock pistons get too close. (old news) This was my very first harsh lesson in Roadster engine work. I'd pull the head to check, but you might try some of that Teflon/squishy bearing clearance checking stuff. You could slide some in through the spark plug hole and turn the motor over by hand and see if it gets flattened. The problem with this you could miss the impact area. So if any pistons are hitting and you really want to save this block, the Rods & Crank will need to be checked for cracks and the pistons must be tossed. New bearings, etc. Good luck, Walter Peterson Goleta Ca, 93117 Street driven race motor 2000 3-Main(R) Solexes,cam etc. 5-Speed & LSD.

Well my Roadster is almost finished. Unfortunately when I backed it out of my very tight garage last week I didn't notice that part of my rotisserie stand was sticking out and I put a nice 12" gouge into the front passenger fender :-( I have a problem and I was hoping someone out there might be able to help. My front passenger turn signals (side marker and front parking/turning signal) will not work. The rear passenger turn lights as well as the front and rear drivers signals work. I have tested all the leads (the two powered leads to the front turn and the one to the side marker) and I'm not getting any power even with the hazards on. The fact that the rear passenger turn lights as well as the indicator on the dash work fine leads me to believe that I'm not having an issue with the turn relays. So, the only thing I can think is that maybe the problem is coming from the Hazard switch as looking through the schematic I noticed that all wires go to that junction. Is there any way of knowing? or, perhaps I'm going down the wrong path. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

The tailpipe on our diesel pickup caught Mr. Hyde in the same manner. Not good, but at least I had not painted the car yet. As to your headlight issue. There are two 10 Amp fuses on the fuse holder in the glove box that run the headlights. Check them out to see if they are 1) there, or 1) blown or making bad contact. That is what is called the KISS theory approach. These fuses often heat up quite a bit due to weak electrical contact due to corrosion in the crimp connections. The heat is enough to melt the fuse holder in some cases. That is why I have external headlight fuses mounted under the hood. I have not done other modifications to the headlight power relays, but the relays are in place and I should have the entire conversion completed this winter. There are several wiring diagrams on the web sites, 311s.org, or datsun2000.com showing these fuses. Since I did some of the schematics on datsun2000.com I can tell you the fueses on the schematic are shown in the same location you will find them in your fuse holder. I think the cover, if you have it, will tell you which fuses you are looking for.

You paint it on, it is just color and a light thinner/carrier which evaporates fast. Leaves a very thin dye on the metal that can be used to scribe on marks, measurements, etc. Usually blue. You may have seen it on metal from a shop that had to be marked as to drilling, etc. It can be used to look for metal contact or lack of contact, such as out of round. Very handy.

The last event was this Sunday. The supercharged KA24DE had quite a few problems this year. Rolling out a new car with rear half tube frame, coil overs, huge rubber, big brakes, and big swaybars proved to be quite a headache. It seemed that every event the car performed better but there were still many problems to fix. The motor ran really poorly for most of the year. I got the problems fixed just in time for new ones to present themselves. The brakes have two modes, none and locked. The suspension was very difficult to tune. It was lifting a front wheel under acceleration and lifting a rear wheel under braking. I now have a three month off season to fix some of the major issues. The last event was a two day event. On Saturay the car started overheating. We were able to nurse it along by refilling the radiator between runs. It also threw the supercharger belt and broke the bracket that holds the belt tensioner. I worked for several hours on Saturday night and got it fixed. On Sunday I made it through most of my first run before it blew the head gasket the rest of the way. It started running on two cylinders and blowing oil and water everywhere. I decided that I still had two cylinders left (140 hp) so I was gonna use them. Foot to the floor I scored a 98.3. The competition tried his best but could only muster a 98.7. I ended up winning the event and the year end championship by a 0.40 second margin. That is cutting it close. In the off season I plan on building a new motor and rebuilding the brake system with a dual master and balance bar. I also have some aluminum Legend car front hubs and spindles which weigh about 10 pounds. They should allow me to cut bunches of unsprung weight off the front. I'll keep you posted.

It had been an ice racer and the engine was torn down after its last season. I got a pile of parts. I do not have a title, but have a bill of sale from the Canadian seller and the US Customs forms. I will provide a bill of sale. The body was toast. It's essentially a kit that will get you a good start on a '67.5 2000. Build up the engine and source a body and tranny. Here's the package: frame and suspension, blasted and powder coated new upper and lower ball joints new front disc rotors (no calipers) new bearings rear springs disassembled and powder coated front comp springs bump stops cut 2000 rear end matching numbers bare block used smog head with "A" cam and valve cover crankshaft jackshaft 4 roadster wheels with crappy tires (not in great shape - but the frame does roll!) vin plate correct set of '67.5 2000 gauges $7500 I can send pictures - there is a body on the frame right now - I can move it to get good shots. I've decided to build a different roadster and some of the mods I want to do are not the right thing to do to this rare of a car. Car is located in Hood River, OR (about 60 miles east of Portland).

There were all forms of weird vibrations. Rotating the tires didn't make any difference. We checked the front end, ball joints, steering box, alignment, etc. The tires were aging Vredistiens but had 80% tread and looked good. I finally replaced all 4 with some basic Kumho's and 'all' the problems disappeared. My guess is that the old tires were delaminating from the inside?

I have set up a page on my web site which will be available only by the link I am providing, with pictures and a description of the cars and the trailer, kindly provided by Lee Ehinger, who drove up to Shelbyville Indiana to look at the cars for us. Chris wanted these cars to go to Datsun enthusiasts if at all possible, so I am posting this to the Datsun Roadster AUTOX.TEAM.NET list. I am not a member of the 510 list, so if someone would be nice enough to post this there, that would be great. Also, if someone who is active on the 311s.org forum would do the same there, it would be helpful, so we can get the word out to our entire community. This is not a commercial venture, I am doing this for the family for free. We decided a timed auction would be the best way to get the most money for the family, while giving the community a chance to bid & buy if they wish. I will be taking bids at my private e-mail address roadsterdude1600@yahoo.com until midnight on 11/22/2008, and I will put the successful bidders in touch with Chris's brother, Victor Bond to arrange payment and pick up in Shelbyville Indiana where the cars and the trailer are located. I will update the page once each day with the current "high bids" on the items. If there is a lot of competition, I will also contact the interested bidders as the sale is coming to a close. We can play that part by ear. Victor has set some reserve prices which are posted. If for some reason those reserves are not met, I will give him the names of the interested parties below the reserves, and let him take it from there.

The first item is a smog air cleaner for a 1970 1600. It has all the extra connections and is the blue one. For some reason, when I bought my 66 1600, it was on it, so I got a correct one. No element, but all the stuff is there. If you want it, email me off list and it's yours. It may take me a while to get to the shipper, but I would imagine you would have it by Christmas. The second is a set of California black and yellow license plates that are correct for the era of our cars. I have no idea if they were original to the car or if you could covince the DMV to let you use them, but they are in pretty good shape and for those of you who would like that original look and want to take on the DMV then please let me know. So there you have it. Not a bounteous harvest, but maybe something that someone could use. See you on the road!

C is my vote here. I've still got 3 years of backlogged roadster mailing list email to read through. It grew to almost 10,000 unread messages, now I'm down to 6500. I just hit critical mass to get going on one small project for my 1600. Got a 2" polishing/sanding wheel kit so I can clean up the stock wheels and spray some fresh "argent" silver on. I had been contemplating having all 4 wheels and the spare powder coated, but that would mean putting the roadster on stilts for the meantime. The other way is cheaper and can be done one at a time. Now I just need to find a good replacement tyre for the 15 year old Firestones that are on there now. Still got great tread depth, but I'm afraid there's no structural integrity left inside. I rode past the Bridgestone factory in Tokyo on my motorcycle everyday for about 4 years when I lived there, so I have a certain attraction to the brand... Oh, and one other project I did last month - used paint rubbing compound on the soft top rear window as a last-resort attempt at getting it clear. Whadayaknow, it worked! Tom.

I have the body mounted on a rotary fixture and had a friend help me rotate the body to a new position. I removed the front and rear pins plus adjustable straps that help hold the body in position. I asked my friend to just keep the body from moving in either direction until I attach a chain hoist. Well, he let go of the body and it rotated 180 degrees or until the top of the windshield frame hit my garage floor, BOOM. Ive taken measurements from several datum points to try to establish in what direction the how severe the distortion is. It looks like the frame is about = off center towards the passenger side. My plan is to heat both sides of the windshield frame (at the base) and using an old windshield, the soft top and both doors, force the frame back into alignment. My question is, has anyone had to deal with this type of repair and how did you get the windshield back into alignment?

You will save hours of frustration and anxiety. If you want to or have to try to salvage the frame, work slow, and pull with steady force. Take lots of measurements, and check often. The real fun will come when you have got it back to the proper position. When you release the tension, from pulling, the frame will shift back a bit. You will actually have to go JUST beyond where it needs to be, and when released have the frame return to what you really need. There is no easy way to know how far past you have to go, but it's not usually too much. Pull, release, check. Pull, release, check. Pull, release, check. And if things suddenly begin to need substantially more force to continue pulling, STOP! Re-assess, reset, and start pulling again. Trying to pull on it may cause a sudden release of the excess pressure, and an unintended pull the wrong way, or too far, causing new damage. Good luck.

I only ask because I've had nothing but problems in the past with shops "improvising" hangers that don't give the pipes enough flexibility, causing breaks and leaks.

After fastening the top onto the posts and twisties, there are two large clips, one on either side internally behind the doors, that are slid into clamps. These large clips are attached to spring cables that pull the fabric tight around the windows, providing proper tension to seal the space between the top and the windows. You may be able to buy these from some of our vendors if your top is missing them. If your rear plastic windows are hazy from old age or are torn, you can take your top to a shop to have the plastic window material replaced. Do not cut out the plastic window yourself, leave it in place. The shop will use the old material as a template to sew in the new plastic. Otherwise, the top might not fit correctly after the repair. I've taken mine to a shop that repaired MG's and other European ragtops. Of course there's nothing better than a new top, but this could save a couple hundred dollars if money is scarce.

As well as exhaust mounts, you probably also need to change the engine and gearbox mounts so there is less movement to start with. Have they ever been changed on your car or are they still the 40 year old originals? A short stainless steel flexi section should also be fitted at the end of the extractors to isolate most of the remaining drivetrain movement from the main exhaust pipe. You can also slightly flatten (or oval) the section of exhaust pipe that passes through the chassis for extra clearance. Hope that helps.

I'm with Phill, if the exhaust is properly aligned and supported, and if the engine and motor mounts are in good shape, the exhaust will not interfere with the frame. When I first put a header on my car, the headpipe did not line up properly. Heating and bending a bit helped, but a flex coupling at the header-headpipe junction will mask a lot of minor ills.

Go with bigger pipes and there can be problems. Here is what I did. At the header I installed a short piece of the stainless mesh flex pipe. Then I went through the X with 1 3/4 pipe. This was hard mounted so it can not vibrate and rub. The flex piece allows the engine to move. Then a Sonic turbo muffler. Then 2" over the axle and out the back. I rubber mounted the 2" section. One thing to watch for is the parking brake rod. The first one I did was too close behind the axle and it hit the parking brake rod when I dropped the car off the jack stands. I haven't had any exhaust rattles since I installed this system. keith In a message dated 11/25/2008 5:10:45 P.M.
