Hello all, I have been watching from Nova Scotia these last months (years) often enjoying and learning from the threads I have chosen to jump in here as this is something that I have thought about and researched. Following my rebuild, I ran Quaker State Deluxe 5W-30 for the first 'easy' 600 miles or so. For the remainder of that year I ran 10W-40 QS, did about 4000 miles. The following year, after storage, as I run the car hard(ish) I switched to Valvoline Synthetic European spec 10W-40. While it seemed to work OK, I was a little concerned with the time for the timing chain tensioner (about 3-4 seconds of chain trauma) I then discovered Mobil 1 5W-50 synthetic. Nice and light for cold and cool startup, short chain noise (2-3 seconds) with good pressure and protection at higher temps. I also run QS synthetic in gearbox and diff. Oil leakage and excessive consumption are not concerns.

Nathan, The oil pressure gauge reading Zero after warm up is not unusual, the gauge is not very accurate that low range, but I'd have to say I don't sweat trying to get the U-20 to idle below ~1k for this same worry. You go thru a quart in 250 miles! Wow, is there a lot of smoke coming out the tailpipe? Are plugs getting fouled? No foamy root beer on the inside of the radiator cap? Or, like me, do you have a slow ooze out of every orifice on the engine... and a gasket kit sitting in the package waiting for some unknown holiday in which every home project is frozen solid but the garage is nicely toasty..... But still, I am lucky to go thru a 1/2 quart in 2500 miles.

We mixed it with water and used one of those pump up sprayers used to kill weeds. We used this to de-grease everything up to and including Caterpillars, Back-hoes and fork lifts. Spray it on the DRY engine. Thoroughly saturate it, and let it soak, but not to the point where it dries. Then hit it with the pressure washer. If you're using a pump bottle, one bottle will do 4 tires, and one engine compartment. Works good on the tires! Once again, spray it on DRY tires, but no need to go quite as heavy as under the hood. Pressure wash just before it dries. I've used Simple Green and Fantastic, with similar results, but Simpe Green is more Environmentally Friendly. I washed vehicles in this order . 1) Use first 1/2 Bottle under the hood, heavily on the (preferrably) warm engine, more heavily on dirtier areas 2) Wet all 4 tires tillit just starts to run down 3) Return to engine compartment and empty rest of bottle on Battery wheel wells firewall under hood if not insulated etc. 4) Pressure wash the tires start at the bottom and work your way around and up each tire. Get the nozzle real close. 5) Pressure wash the engine. Get the nozzle real close except electrical components, where you back off a bit. 6) Pressure wash rest of engine compartment. Get the nozzle real close. Careful (back off) on electrical components and connectors. 7) Wash rest of vehicle. normally 8) Hope it starts. If it doesn't you blasted electrical components too hard.

It's biodegradable, non-flammable, on the label it says "authorized by USDA for cleaning non-food processing areas". Works great in conjunction with a stiff bristled brush. Even better with a steam cleaner wand. It's a concentrate, most of the time I use it full strength. The bad news is that you're still dumping oily grime washed from your engine, but it's nothing compared to all the grime dumped by restaurants and businesses. I know that's not PC, but it's the truth. Fred - So.SF On Dec 15, 2008, at 10:12 AM, nmleeds@mindspring.com wrote: > All, > > I understand car work is dirty. Cars are dirty.

I can provide a wiring harness and if you wish can provide partial quarter cuts to make the wheelwells look original. extra charge for those. $2k as it sits, can start higher and dicker down to that if you prefer...in my opinion it's practically a gift at that price 2nd one has 35k original miles, very good body. new Koni's, frame had been painted, engine compartment body compartment and trunk already painted (red) engine detailed out... was a driver when I first saw it about 15 years ago then was in storage until I bought it... needs interior done, I'd assume hydraulics, new tires, paint... $3500 on that one. contact me offlist if interested. I figure either one could be turned into a driver with a few days work.

DOT5 is silicone fluid. I have used DOT5 in my car (brakes and clutch) for ~25 years. I ran denatured alcohol through the system (from the master cylinder out, just like bleeding the system) to flush the old DOT3 (petroleum-based) fluid, then thoroughly flushed the system with DOT5 before buttoning it up. No leakage or hydraulic problems since. I see no downside whatsoever. But, like Dewey suggested, you should probably check the discussions on 311s.org to get a broader perspective.

Ok I'm joking. But in reality, you might be able to pull that off with bloody knuckles and taking 4 times as long to do it. You really should remove the master out of the car to work on it. I'm sure this is covered on the 311.org site somewhere. Also don't over-do any honing, sanding or buffing of the inside, as that surface is a very thin plating and once it's gone that area will corrode and cause it to fail again much sooner.

Not to be rude, but if you're not sure how to pull a motor and trans, should you really be doing it? I'd hate to see someone destroy their car or worse, hurt themselves in the process. If you have the mechanical skill to do the job, it's not tough at all. It's just nuts and bolts. If you don't, I would highly recommend AGAINST attempting it. I have friends all the time who call me after attempting to do something mechanical who have little to no mechanical skills. Often, they've destroyed something or hurt themselves in the process. I always ask, "What made you think you could do this?" They reply, "well, i dunno. it didn't look THAT difficult, and mechanics do it, and you do it, so I figured I could do it..." Again, not trying to be mean, I'd just hate to see a follow up post from someone selling a roadster with the motor half out of the car because it broke loose, dropped on the guy, and now he's lost interest in the project.

Rare Parts has the Datsun Lower A-arm shafts that I had manufactured several months ago. These shafts have the bearings on each end and attach the lower A-arm pieces to the frame. They are $95 each, plus shipping and tax, where applicable, and you order them from Rare Parts directly. I don't make anything off of this, I just needed a set and was appalled at the prices I was seeing, so I looked into having these made. Used, these were $200 each, and the one place I could find them new got them through Canada, from Japan at a cost of about $325 each. The $95 each is a limited price for a limited time. They will go up, but I'm not sure how much or when. These aftermarket A-arm shafts work great. I installed them on my car. They fit exactly the same, but look a tad different. The originals were one poured piece of metal. The aftermarkets are a shaft that has had the threads for the bushings cut in, then hardened, and then the mounting flanges welded to the shaft. The shaft portion is a tad thicker, and stronger as well, but doesn't affect the performance of the item at all. Again, these are made by RARE PARTS, not some po-dunk hole in the wall shop. Any questions, feel free to post on the list and I'd be happy to answer them.

Rich, Jump in and get dirty! Just think things through and take your time. Remember that hoists and jacks can be dangerous if not respected, and you should be fine. Pulling an engine can be done fairly quickly if you are not overly concerned about scratches in the engine bay. If you are concerned about those, it takes a bit more time.

I find it easiest to pick a starting place (I use the battery) and go around the engine bay disconnecting.? When you reassemble, do the reverse.? Get a load leveler ($30 at Harbor Freight) to change the angle on the motor/transmission as it comes out and goes in.? Be cautious when everything is in the air that you do not allow the transmission tailpiece to swing?back and hit the windshield.??When you lift the front of the engine any grease left in the transmission will run out the drive shaft hole.? To prevent this and protect the transmission on reinstall, tape a spray paint cap to the tailpiece.? Be careful, have fun!

Uh, because they didn't design it that way. The axle housing doesn't do anything except support the gear carrier assembly. Both the pinion gear and the ring gear mount to the gear carrier. That way you can set up the lash on the workbench and not under the car. >>Once I have the axles out, will the pumpkin just slide out? More or less. It's a snug fit and is probably cooked in there pretty solidly. A certain amount of percussive maintenance is usually required to break it loose. Whacking the nose of the diff from various angles with a dead-blow hammer usually works. Position a floor jack under the gear carrier just ahead of the axle housing so the thing doesn't drop on your hand when it comes loose - it's fairly heavy.

I have been using 10-40 at sea level, but, it seems like its slow to get flowing (strangely high pressure during the first 5 minutes of driving) and burns straight through the engine when I run it hard (1 qt. every 250 miles). After I've been running it hard for an hour the oil pressure at idle drops to nothing -- these readings all from my super-reliable original in dash four-cluster (so take with a huge grain of salt) I'm tempted to try 5w-50 but thought I'd pick the big brains before I did anything that drastic.

I'm missing the chrome trim that goes behind the internal door release handle both sides. also missing one of the window c channel tracks from the inside of the door. It's about 7 3/8'' long and mounts to the inner panel of the door. I bought the car as a project and the previous owner did not pack items to well and a few bits have been lost. If you can help out let me know off list as i can send funds via paypal for parts and postage. cheers Peter j _________________________________________________________________ Time for change?

Minor rust is OK but functional, with springs, etc. For a late model, I don't know if the early models' rails are the same or not.
