Nissan factory workshop manual ignition switch with key, has the red wire- not sure which year that means it is (maybe someone can enlighten me- '70?) '69 turnsignal switch ass'y complete, nice shape nice door top finisher panels w/no fuzzys 68-70 restored late style Solex setups all but aircleaner/filters restored pair of 40mm Mikuni-Solexes set up full race for a 1600, don't have the factory manifold anymore... carbs done by Dan Garrison, real nice work feel free to contact me before I get this stuff listed if you like...

Hi, I've recently inherited a 1968 Datsun 1600 from my father who recently passed away (some of you may have interacted with him, he posted on this mailing list as konadave1@hawaii.rr.com). The car is in reasonably good shape, although it has suffered a bit because my dad's health prior to his death precluded him driving it for a couple of years. It is drivable but has a few known problems, e.g., the horn and windshield wipers don't work and both the front left and rear right brakes are sticking. As far as I can tell, aside from a few bubbles, there isn't a lot of rust (which is surprising given it is located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii) and runs, albeit a bit rough. I took it to a garage in Kona, but they didn't have the expertise to do anything other than the inspection I needed to get the title changed and re-registered ("Carburetors? Haven't seen those in a while."). Due to time limitatinos as a result of my job and the lack of a garage (and frankly, a lack of talent working on cars), I am not in a good position to fix the various issues at this point in time. I live in the San Francisco bay area and I am thinking about shipping it to California from Hawaii, but don't really know where to start about getting it worked on. My dad always spoke highly of this list, so I'd appreciate any suggestions the assembled experts here might offer on what I should do with it. To be clear, I have no interest in selling the car. Ideally, I'd like to get it into mint condition to honor my dad, however I haven't the slightest idea how much something like that would cost... Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

David, Your immediate problems do not sound too difficult. If you are not able to find someone from the list to help you with repairs, I think Mike Kerr operates Roadster Restoration in SF, and he is a true expert with all aspects of repair and restoration of these cars.

David, I'm sorry to hear that your father has passed away. Dave was a lively contributor to the Datsun Roadster list. You can ship you car from Hawaii directly to the Port of Oakland via Matson Shipping. Full details can be found at: http://matson.com/matnav/services/hawaii.html Actually, an ex-nissan Datsun Roadster racer, Elroy Goto, works (or at least he did a few years ago) at Matson. In the Bay Area, there are several shops which can help you with the roadster. You may wish to check out Datsun Sports: http://datsunsports.com/ Best of Luck.

Not sure if it was the PO or the mechanic who put my motor back together, but my block, which is an H20 (serial number 776777), appears to be metric. (My head is SAE) Turns out, some bonehead used SAE bolts in many of the spots on the block. I'm wondering if I should pull the motor mounts, and transmission to engine bolts too, to re-tap them back to metric, but they seem pretty tight. Plus, I'd have to pull the motor again, not something I'm looking forward to doing AGAIN.... Thoughts? Tonight, I disassembled all of the exterior parts, water pump, alternator bracket, fuel pump, etc, and tapped them clean again back to metric. They were NOT chewed up too bad, so I think I'm ok. I'm going to order new bolts from McMaster. I found it weird that the water pump seems to use 3 different sized bolts. a 8mm 1.25 and a 9mm 1.25 and a 10mm 1.25. Does that sound right to you guys? Also, it appears the timing chain cover bolts used were SAE, and my guess is they SHOULD have been metric, yes?

The holes are clearly metric. The bolts screw in, but don't tighten properly, and they feel a little loose until "snugged". There were no "stock bolts" on the thing. I'm leaving the timing cover bolts alone, but the others I've already run a tap through. It went in easily, and only a little crud came out. Seems the block was harder than the bolts that were used, and the bolts took much of the wear. I'll use lock-tite on all the bolts, and I figure that should be fine. The only other option, which I would have considered prior to putting the engine back in, is to helicoil the holes, but now that would be a major PITA...

I mean one or two heli-coils is fine, but it sounds like you may have a LOT! Just my arm-chair engineering opinion.

We will have a limited number of t-shirts, with a pretty cool design celebrating the life and memories of our recently passed friend JR Welch, in his purple roadster with gold wheels.

What it comes down to is the Pertronix requires a minimum amount of resistance in the circuit. Whether that is made up of a coil and ballast resistor, or just the coil doesn't really matter. I don't know what that minimum resistance is tho....... I don't know if the higher resistance coil would work properly with points and NO ballast resistor......?? but logic points to the fact that it might........But I wouldn't risk it.....

An easy way to get a rough exchange rate with USD is to just drop the last two zeros, or to consider the amount in pennies. Y1,000 = $10 or 1000 cents Y1,480,000 = $14,800 or 1.48M cents.

The resistor wire is exposed in the ceramic mounting, so I am guessing it's not supposed to glow. As I understand the function of the ballast resistor, it offers little resistance when cold, gradually increasing resistance as current flows through it after the engine is started. This crude, but generally effective approach, allows full battery voltage to the coil for a stronger spark when starting, but drops the voltage after the engine is started to avoid long-term coil damage. Assuming that other aspects of the ignition system are in order (points good and correctly gapped, condenser good), the ballast resistor could be defective. I would make a jumper wire to connect the battery to the positive coil terminal, taking the resistor circuit out of play. If the engine cranks and starts , you know the resistor is bad -- probably producing too much voltage drop to generate a spark, and overheating in the process. ALthough the coil can take battery voltage for a time, shut her down after it starts, and disconnect the jumper. Although it will not go to the list, I have attached a color wiring diagram for the early 1600s. Let me know if it does not make it through the response process. List: Other thoughts?

The way it's wired the resistor should be bypassed while the car is being cranked. The resistor is between the battery and coil while the engine is running to lower the primary current. When you are starting the battery voltage drops so they bypass the resister to get the proper voltage to the coil for a good hot spark. My 66 does not have this bypass function. When the battery got weak it would get hard to start. Sometimes it would turn over but not fire. As you released the key it will light off. What is happening is the voltage is too low to make good sparks while the starter is running. As soon as the starter turns off the engine is still turning over and the battery voltage jumps back up creating a good spark. What I did was add a relay to bypass the resistor when starting. It helped a lot. If your resistor is ever glowing there is a wiring problem. keith In a message dated 3/4/2009 6:58:31 P.M.

Heat (as evenly as possible around the area where the rotor meets the hub), spray (I like PB Blaster), let it sit for a while (30 minutes or an hour) and repeat. Use the BFH evenly around the hub rotor. That can send vibrations through the joint than help break the corrosive bond that's holding the pieces together.

Mike -----Original Message----- From: speeddemonrs To: 'datsun-roadsters: autox.team.net' Sent: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 12:15 pm Subject: [Roadsters] Frustrated over brakes Hi all!! So I finally decided that the Volvo brake conversion would be the way to go in my situation. So I have been ordering and gathering all the parts, found a machine shop locally that would be willing to take the rotor down the required 1/8" in diameter and all was looking good. BUT!! When I removed the rotor/hub assembly I am finding it VERY DIFFICULT (read impossible) to separate the hub and the rotor. Is there some trick? I have begun to soak the union with a penetrant (the name of this will not be mentioned to avoid another discussion about what you use). Still this is acting like it is one solid piece. A 5lb. hammer force has been applied to encourage separation, but alas, the union remains. I have removed the obvious 4 bolts. There is a plastic / rubber seal at one end of the hub, that is retaining the rear bearing... does this need to be removed in order to get the two separated? It does not appear that it does, but am running out of ideas on separating these two pieces.

Thanks to all the suggestions and recommendations that have come through since my post. But, the advice I tried first was the advice from Mike Hudson. After quite a few taps around the 1/2 inserted bolts the two started to separate! A few more taps and I had bottomed out on the bolts. After removing them and a few more encouraging taps, the 1st was separated and the second came shortly thereafter. Off to the machine shop!! $25 a piece to do this work sounds high, but this seems to be the only local shop that would even touch them! Robb Shannon Original Message -------------------------------------- Put the 4 bolts back in loosely so there is a 1/2" or so of threads showing under the bolt heads. Now support just the rotor portion on a couple blocks of wood so the hub is between them. Place the blocks right up against the hub with the 4 bolt heads facing upwards. Now use can use a drift or big socket or a piece of steel like a socket extension to tap on each of the bolts heads. You want to pound them enough to just move them a little bit at a time as you go around to each of them. When there starts to be some movement, start soaking with the penetrant. This is the easiest way to do it. Some like to get a crack started along the rotor-hub seam and then use something to pry it further, I found my method easier.

When I pulled it apart there were three broken pistons and a blown headgasket. Two of the rod bearings had a scratch but not destroyed. I ordered new pistons, metal headgasket, and rod bearings. I got Frontier pistons because they are lower compression. Yesterday I worked on a bunch of preparation because the parts had not arrived yet. I swapped the calipers from side to side on front because I had them backwards. The Outlaw 2000 calipers have small pistons and large pistons. The small pistons are supposed to be the leading pistons but I had them upside down. I also placed the porportioning valve in the front circuit instead of the rear. The fronts were doing all the work and would lock up. The rears didn't seem to work at all. I replaced the ignition switch, shifter bushing, output shaft seal, and a bunch of other small things. I also prepped the motor for the new pistons. I honed the bores, cleaned the gasket surfaces, and installed an ARP headstud kit. I now have the pistons and will assmeble the motor today. I think I can have it installed and running by tomorrow. The first race of the season is Sunday.

I'm sure you know but several sizes of rear cylinders are available. It was common to go with larger ones to increase braking force. keith In a message dated 3/6/2009 5:09:27 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, andycost@embarqmail.com writes: I blew the motor pretty good at the end of last season. When I pulled it apart there were three broken pistons and a blown headgasket. Two of the rod bearings had a scratch but not destroyed. I ordered new pistons, metal headgasket, and rod bearings. I got Frontier pistons because they are lower compression. Yesterday I worked on a bunch of preparation because the parts had not arrived yet. I swapped the calipers from side to side on front because I had them backwards. The Outlaw 2000 calipers have small pistons and large pistons. The small pistons are supposed to be the leading pistons but I had them upside down. I also placed the porportioning valve in the front circuit instead of the rear. The fronts were doing all the work and would lock up. The rears didn't seem to work at all. I replaced the ignition switch, shifter bushing, output shaft seal, and a bunch of other small things. I also prepped the motor for the new pistons. I honed the bores, cleaned the gasket surfaces, and installed an ARP headstud kit. I now have the pistons and will assmeble the motor today. I think I can have it installed and running by tomorrow. The first race of the season is Sunday.

Apparently this hosting service either provided its own modifications to hosted web site scripts, or it was easy to hack. I discovered HTML script additions to the bottom of the script file that had nothing to do with my web site. These changes were http:// links and seemed to link to ladies clothing and accessories. I replaced the HTML file and then started checking. Pretty soon I would find the additions were returned to the web pages. These additions did not show up on the screen when you viewed the page. I suspect they sent e-mails, but I really do not know for sure. If anyone wants to look at one of the HTML page scripts I would be happy to send a copy of a script that I saved so I can understand what this change was doing. Since then I have changed hosting services and have never seen the problem return. But I keep checking once in a while anyway.

STEP 1: Install good (yes, that can be subjective) antivirus -AND- antispam software, and keep them updated. I use Symantec Corporate AntiVirus (I like AVG as a freebie) and SpyWareBlaster. STEP 2: Don't open questionable attachments. Mac (and Linux?) users are usually affected less because they're less of a target, but they're not immune. Neither step will protect you if your ISP is passing that garbage on to its users instead of trapping it. I have Comcast (starting with @Home and ATTBI), and have rarely received anything not legit. Neither step will protect you from the AOL idiots. Sorry, but my experience is that the majority of AOL users are unsophisticated users as that is/was AOL's target market. They will click and/or open anything from anyone (and keep forwarding jokes & viruses....sigh). It's not just AOL, but..... The spammers keep figuring out new ways to get past the protection software, which is why some stuff will still get through. Another reason to stay updated. Da nada.

More dangerous (for your computer): Go into c:\windows\system32, sort by date so most recent is on top. You will also need to go to the Tools->Folder Options->View and select Show hidden & system files, and uncheck hide extensions & hide protected operating system files This will show new files in this directory.

Hi all, 
 
Anyone know where I can get a pair of vent cables made? 
 
I need the ones that have the "barrel" on the end of them. The others are already made, these are the two that go to the vents under the dash and have the special end to them... 
 
Thanks.

Anyone familiar with this vehicle or this ebay seller? It's in Missouri & I have someone that can look at it tomorrow for me. But, I wanted to make sure its worth his time to drive a couple hours up there. It looks like its at a dealer called Lakeway Motors in Kaiser, MO. I've been looking quietly for a clean 1600 driver. I've had my 69 1600 in my garage for the last 19 years, so I was thinking it would be less expensive & a lot easier to buy a nice driver, rather than attempt to revive mine. _________________ Dave Cooke Lake In The Hills, IL 1969 1600 MWDROC ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Datsun-roadsters mailing list http://www.team.net/archive http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/datsun-roadsters From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Mar 15 17:15:10 2009 From: Charlie and Annelee Ellis To: datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:15:48 -0400 Subject: [Roadsters] Test only Charlie Ellis ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Datsun-roadsters mailing list http://www.team.net/archive http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/datsun-roadsters From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Mar 15 18:30:38 2009 From: Eddie To: Datsun Roadster List Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:31:16 -0700 Subject: [Roadsters] Steering wheel nut size question Here's a question: What size are the threads on the shaft of the collapsable steering column (late model) where the nut goes and holds the steering wheel on?

Call your state DMV. You may need to get what's termed a bonded title, but since you have previous registrations you may not as long as you have a bill of sale. I've got a 510 that I was going to set up as strictly a track car and never got either the title or a bill/letter of sale and I can't locate the PO. Big mistake since I'm thinking seriously about putting it back on the street. It'll cost me a couple of hundred and take a few weeks, but at least I can do it here in Texas.

I don't know any specifics about Washington or Nevada law but each state began issuing titles in different years. In Alabama, I could not get a title for my 69 as the state didn't issue titles until '74. When I moved to florida, I had to get a certified letter from the DVM stating that Alabama wasn't a title state until '74 and bring that along with my registration to the Florida DMV to have both title and registration issued. Call your states DMV and find out what documents they will require and while you're at it, confirm that Nevada didn't issue titles in '68.

I bought my roadster without a title in California. The guy that sold it to me hooked me up with some weird internet title company in Louisiana. I faxed them (before scanners) a copy of the bill of sale and some money and they sent me a Louisiana title for the car. That and a California bill of sale got me across the border into Canada. The Canadians said "if they US Customs is ok with this who are we to argue?" and I went on my way. It was strange, but if it got me out of the country I would think it would work for state DMV. Let me know if you want me to dig up the old paperwork (2003) and I'll see if I can find the title company. It may be a closed loophole by now though.

My title inspection in Colorado was in what appeared to be state prison. I drove in, past armed gunmen and a big faded sign that read "do not leave your car, await instructions" After waiting in 15 degree temperature in my topless '69 2000 I decided that the sign must be outdated, got out of my car and started walking over to the nearest door thinking I'd knock and find someone. Not a second after I left my car a voice over a loudspeaker -- I suspect from one of the prison watchtowers -- instructed me to wait in my car. The inspector explained that all the security was necessary because people tend to run when a highway patrolman finds they are driving a stolen car.

I have on off topic question for everyone. I just bought a super cheap '87 BMW 325 for a second family car and have a question about an annoying stutter. On acceleration I have strong pull for about 3 seconds and then there is a pause/stutter -- almost feeling like someone is pressing the brakes for a split second, but coming from the engine -- then about 3 more seconds of pull and then a pause etc etc etc. After the stutter there is even an ever so slight surge of power. The stutter doesn't change at all as I accelerate. The interval from power to pause always stays the same regardless of engine speed, which seems odd. It also does it while driving at speed but not nearly as pronounced, and I don't notice anything steady and pronounced at all while at idle. I have already replaced the plugs and wires. Coil? Rotor and cap? Fuel delivery? Any ideas? Thanks in advance, everyone.

If you are the driver, this results in a physical confrontation between the steering wheel and your chest. If the collision is violent enough, front-end crushing will move the steering wheel toward you, increasing the problem...

If so, they're 1-3/8 inches. (They measure 1.32 across the flats, so an 1-3/8 socket will do fine.) Since these bushings are a press-type fit into the lower A-arms (they're pulled into place when the bush is threaded onto the spindles), so you'll probably need a torque wrench to get them off.

You will find them at fastener shops on-line, but Menards has chrome 5/16-24 lock nuts with nylon inserts which look good until you can find the acorn nuts.

Got the engine out and dismantled - amazingly there doesn't seem to be any significant damage - a small nick in the front bearing and laying the crank down against flat surfaces it appears that it is straight - though I will let a machine shop make the final determination. Question 1 Taking apart the engine i bought on craisglist - i noticed that there were additional aluminum 'nuts' (open) on top of the main nuts holding down the conrods - any thoughts as to whether i should add them to my engine?? and why are they there in the first place? Request 1 Need the u-shaped bracket that holds in the swaybar - it is quite badly dented and easier to replace rather than bang out Request 2 Need 2 castle nuts for the lower ball joints Hopefullly this will all be sorted by the end of April - working kinda gets in the way of playing BTW - for local socalrockers - i now have an engine hoist, a leveller and an engine stand for loan once eliza is put back together again.

Tim, Some aftermarket front shocks, like Konis, will not fit through the stock opening in the lower plate. When I bought the Konis for my car years ago, the recommended installation procedure was to carefully grind out the opening, being careful not to encroach on the three bolt holes, and insert the shocks that way. I conclude that a slightly out-of-round opening is not a problem. (By-the-way, I opted to carefully un-bolt the lower A-arms at the frame, and put the Konis in that way. Didn't even mess up the alignment settings.)

Tim, If you're talking about the lower a-arm shaft that the bushings screw into, you need a very large impact wrench to get those off. A long pipe and socket won't usually do it.

And when the breaker bar can't do the job on its own...

I had my rotors diameter trimmed down but stil had some rubbing on the caliper. Took a die grinder to the caliper and smoothed the rubbing area a bit to free it up. Hope this helps.

When the break fluid heats up it expands, which, if the bleed hole is covered, will slowly apply the breaks. Let them cool off and things work fine again.

I've seen them used on steam locomotives, but probably also on large bolts/nuts in other industries. Conclusion: Your suggestion is a good one, just don't overdue the hammer part with a conventional socket. Good way to crack one. Impact socket is better.

I found a few of the swaps on line but still need more info. Does anyone have a part # for the 12 circuit wiring kit or just get a universal one? Does the long double row plug on the wiring harness plug into 12 circuit wiring kit or is there something else I need to get? Where to cut or drill holes in the firewall for wiring harness? Where to mount the computer and 12 circuit? What is the normal temature range for the SR20, I need to get the electric fan tempature sensor, has anyone ever tried the adjustable ones with the probe that goes between the fins in the radiator? Where should the 280Z electric fuel pump be mounted, near the tank or closer to motor? Filter before the pump? Remove brake metering block and go from master to a tee, then to the cylinders? What size is the 45 degree and the 90 degree 2 1/2" elbows or 3" (for the air intake) ? they don't make a 2 3/4" do they? I'm also in need of a MAF # 22680-52F01, I've been looking on ebay but haven't seen one for awhile, so if anyone has one for sale let me know. How about a Datsun Roadster/SR20DE swap book for dummies.Thanks in advance for your time and help, Owen. ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Datsun-roadsters mailing list http://www.team.net/archive http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/datsun-roadsters From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Tue Mar 24 11:24:24 2009 From: Gary and Cindy Ault To: boakes@gmail.com, Eddie Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:25:08 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [Roadsters] stuck drums Bill, I presume the drums are finned aluminum? If so, corrosion between the studs and the drum and/or between the drum and the axle at the center hole can make removal very difficult. It doesn't take much corrosion, either. You can try a drum puller. Tension it and then tap the drum with a heavy plastic mallet. If the puller loosens up a bit, it means the drum moved. Repeat as necessary. Be careful not to apply to much tension force -- you can break the drum. Since the corrosion will be aluminum oxide, there may be some solution you can put on them drums around the studs and center hole to dissolve it. I don't know what solution would work, though.

If the friction surface on his flywheel is 8 inches across he needs another pressure plate and disk. There are (I think) three friction surface diameters for L/Z series Datsuns with the same flywheel overall/ring gear diameter. The Roadsters and 4-clynder sedans use the same diameter pressure plates and disks but different flywheels. The Roadsters and L-4 sedans used 200mm while the L-6 (Z & 810) used 225mm and 240mm (Z 2 +2, I think). IIRC, most of the pickups used the 240mm units along with big heavy flywheels and low (mid 4.something to 5.something) rear gears. The heavy duty Roadster pressure plate, commonly referred as the 20111 (the last 5 numbers in the part number), has long been used on the L-4s that use the 200mm flywheel. It's much stiffer than the OEM 510 PP and somewhat more so than the OEM roadster unit. The clamping pressures are available but I don't know them off the top of my head. You'll really give your left leg a workout using the 20111 in either a roadster or 510. At the other extreme the OEM 510 PP was good for maybe 30K miles of "normal driving" in a 510. If you decide to order the "heavy duty" unit from anyone including a dealer check the number of rivets on the tabs holding the assembly together. True 20111 units will have three rivets on each tab. If it only has two it's not a real (20111) pressure plate. I'm not sure how many, if any, of the 20111s are still available. I picked up a couple along with a bunch of other stuff in the early '90s anticpating building up a couple of 510s. I'm finally getting around to using some of this stuff.
