Nicholas was a victim of a Motor vehicle Crash last weekend. He was my neighbor, and friend. Five years ago when he was fifteen he bought his first Roadster. I remember taking a full day trip with him and his Dad to Riverside CA to pick up the car. He was very excited and really loved the Roadsters, especially his. He attended the Solvang and Shasta shows. He had been restoring the car with his Dad Victor these last five years. I know some of you met him at the shows, Please keep the Peqa family in your thoughts and prayers.

In the process of removing the old cover in pieces the original covering came off in places which exposed the foam surface. I have a new dash cover and will be using a 3-M adhesive (not the stuff they sent me with the new cover) to install the new cover. My question is, should I apply some type of filler to smooth out the surface before installing the new cover? If so, does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should use? I think it should be something that stays flexible but wouldnt come loose from the foam. Any help is appreciated. Update: Several years ago a friend was helping me rotate the body which was installed on a rotary fixture. Instead of holding the body in position he let it go and the car did a very fast 180 degree spin and the windshield frame struck the concrete floor in my garage. Ouch! The impact pushed the windshield frame > of an inch to the right. Last Saturday an auto body repair friend came over and helped me straighten out the frame. Before we started I placed an old windshield in the frame to see just how bad out of alignment the frame was. We heated both sides of the frame and using a 2x4 and a rubber mallet I whacked the frame 5 times. We let the frame cool and again installed the glass. Fits like a glove!!!!!! The true test will be to install both doors and see if the gap is the same on both sides. I can now stop having nightmares about my windshield frame.

Yes. Natural finish wood makes it easy to read the level. Painted and CF are bad.

I have a pair of 1966 1600 Roadsters. Both are unmodified and have matching numbers. One appears to have had a quicky restoration some years ago. Considering what they are, they are pretty much cancer-free. One has had a little bit of floor patching done and the other is unknown (carpets are still in place). Both were running and driving when they came to me 2 years ago, but haven't been started since. Between the two you'll have enough to build one very nice car with little effort. Nearly everything is there. 2 or 3 minor things, like the side trim "spears" are missing. A little bit of the chrome is new or redone, what's left appears suitable for re-chroming. One has a good clear windshield and good windshield trim. You may need one or both side glass panes. One has a new top, but it's probably not in good enough condition for a restoration. Both have seen some rain with the tops down (seats and carpets are poor). These are in New Hampshire 40 minutes North of Concord. If your state doesn't allow re-titling I can arrange for a NH title on either or both cars. The pair would make an excellent start in the Roadster hobby or for someone looking to restore another car (perhaps your first low windshield flat dash model). I am not interested in parting out these cars yet. I'd rather sell the pair as a project car. Anyone interested can email me at james@jdfogg.com or call 603-748-2224. -- James - ________________________________________ 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 Mon Jun 1 13:16:21 2009 From: "Tom @ Datsun2000" To: "Datsun-Roadsters@Autox.

There is one thing you can try. Get the car out on the street and start driving forward, stop and back up. If you hear a metallic pop like a hammer hitting a pipe when you start to move, it's likely the u-joints. Have someone stand next to the car when you do this. It can make detecting the noise easier as it is sometimes not terribly loud. If you don't hear any noise, it still can't hurt to take the driveshaft to a driveline shop and have them look at it. I had mine done a few months ago for less then 100 bucks.

There was no squish at all. No matter how hard I pushed it would not hit the bottom. When there was air in the lines then it would be a little squishy under normal braking but would hit the floor under really heavy application. My guess is that there is air in your lines and master cylinder. The roadster master cylinder is inclined up away from the pedal and the bleeder. I always had to get the master cylinder angled back towards the bleeder to get all the air out. I did this by jacking the rear of the car really high. I used a torpedo level on the master cylinder to tell when I was at the right angle.

Spongy brakes are USUALLY a result of air in the brake fluid, and occasionally brake lines that are swelling. Usually brake lines that swell, don't last long before they burst. If they have expanded a lot, the rubber will sometimes have a permanent stretch to the rubber, enough to see or feel. Quite often the fluid leaks through to the rubber via very small holes because of the pressure generated during braking. Once off the brakes the fluid pressure drops, and only the expansion of the rubber pushes the fluid back through and it doesn't return quickly. You may be able to see the bulges immediately after a firm brake application. The flexing firewall will feel similar to spongy brakes too. When you have a firm or hard pedal one cause is excess heat transferring to the brake fluid getting close to the boiling point. Old fluid or moisture contaminated fluid causes this. As soon as brake fluid is opened in the bottle and is exposed to the atmosphere, it begins to absorb moisture. Even in that half full bottle of new fluid you've had for several years. When I buy a new bottle of fluid" I buy enough for what I need, and I write the opening date on it with a Sharpie. After 2 years it doesn't get used for brakes anymore, but I keep it to soak small parts in to remove paint. after 3 years it's disposed of . DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID FROM OPEN CONTAINERS if you don't know how long it's been open. Check to see if both front and back brakes are working. If either isn't, the dual master cylinder compensates, allowing braking by the other. It gets a bit more complicated. To find if the brakes are working, find a gravel or dusty rod, and try to lock them up. If you do, get out and see which ones skidded. Good luck.

In addition to all the other responses you have had about brake fluid, etc., you might consider replacing the rear wheel cylinders and front calipers. Rebuilding the front calipers also works well at a much cheaper cost, as long as the originals are not scored or pitted. I have had a very difficult time getting the brakes bled on my car and all the air out of the system. I recently purchased, but have not yet tried, an automatic brake bleeder from "Motive" on the advice of a friend. Cost about $60. I think this is really going to be helpful for me. I can see the value of having the pressure bleeder to push the fluid thru your entire system. Also, don't forget to bleed the master cylinder. You might try KFP front pads. I installed those on my autocross car when I was not satisfied with the braking power. They made a huge difference for me. They are pricy, maybe $120 for 4 pads, but well worth it. Lastly, it is a 40 year old car, with 40 year old technology. You will likely never get BMW M series braking from your roadster.

There is a link to their site with all the size info on 311s.org in the wiki section under general brake info. I was told that the bleeders will also fit the master, but I did not try it. They ship out of IL if I remember correctly, so they got here pretty quick, I am in WI. Just watch out doing the front brakes, you have to remove the ball that is under the stock bleeder in order for the new ones to fit. I magnetized a screw driver to reach the ball. I also replaced the fluid and front pads and have great pedal response now! I have not put on the brace yet, but I am thinking about it now after this email chain.

I'm looking to sell the "green machine" in the next two weeks if [possible and will accept offers below my $6400 asking price. I've also just put new tires on the car and it handles even better. Should have done that awhile ago! You can see my cars.com ad and some pictures here: http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/datsun-1600-cars288376402 It's in great shape as you can see from the pictures. It would be a nice car for someone who wanted to get into the Datsun Roadster scene as the car is solid mechanically and comes with a bunch of spare parts that I have collected over the years. The title is clean. I've had the car for about 10 years and bought it from a friend of mine when he moved to PA. He had it for probably about 10 years before me. The car has been professionally painted and is a metallic racing green color. Looks better in person than on the pictures. I've had the interior professionally restored and had a roll bar and head rests from another Datsun roadster installed. Also, the interior is done in leather with very nice carpets. I had a new soft top installed at the same time. The car has been garaged the whole time and is super clean - no rust. The soft top looks pretty much brand new. Some of the other new parts are a restored (new) radiator, a newly machined cylinder head, and a few other odds and ends. It is mostly original. One other thing is I have about 10 boxes of spare parts - a little of just about everything. For my full price, you can have any or all of these parts you want. I will be selling whatever the buyer of this car doesn't want on ebay. There is easily over $1000 of parts here including some hard to find latches and extra soft top frame and a bunch of gauges. Also, I have 95% of a spare engine that could be used to build a stroker (bored out) motor if one wanted to. Call or email with questions. Thanks!

The car is fine but unfortunately, I live in Dubai and spend very little time in Austin - usually a couple months of the year when I have the time. I am planning on being in Austin for most of August and would like to have the car thoroughly checked prior to my arrival. It has been sitting for nearly two years this time - I did not make it home last year. Is there a way you could have the car collected at my home in Austin in late July, so that I could collect it in Round Rock upon my arrival? I am also thinking of doing a few things to the car: painting the trunk to match the car color; adding a sound system; returning the dash to its original form; repairing all dials, most of which don't work.

My first roadster is/was a '66 1600, SPL311-05917, which I bought from the original owner in July of 1971 when it had less than 35K miles on it. It was a Southern California car, so it had no rust, but the paint was oxidized, the top worn and it had a big dent in the passenger's side door. But, it was complete and generally in good condition. I developed a craving for more power, however, and began considering a U20 transplant early on. The Datsun dealer couldn't tell me whether my 4-speed transmission would bolt-up to the 2000 engine, or whether the 2000 would even fit properly. I didn't know at the time that the blocks are the same. I saw the differences between the radiators, and I know the U20 exhaust was different. During one of my visits to the dealer, I noticed a brand new, in the crate U20 and 5-speed just received from Japan for a customer who also wanted to convert his 1600. So, I bought a '69 U20 from a wrecked 2000 in Escondido, California, along with the radiator. That same U20, complete with a fresh rebuild, is waiting to be reinstalled in that car. I have always liked the '66. Except for the engine, a wood-rim steering wheel, Lucas mirrors, late-model shift boot with walnut knob, and Panasport wheels, the car is original.

I need to do more adjusting of the carb. but it was running. After it ran for a few minutes I noticed it was leaking water. I thought I had not tightened a hose enough but on closer inspection, the center freeze plug on the intake manifold is broken on one edge. I pulled the manifold today and need to know. Can I remove the old one and replace it myself? I see that DatsunParts.com has a set of brass freeze plugs. Does anyone know if this set will have the one I need? Should I replace the others? Is there anything I need to know before I try to take the old one out? It Seems to me that if I can get the old one out I should be able to drive a new one in by just putting a socket or something that fit tight in the plug and drive it in. Is there anything else I should do or check on while I have the manifold off? When I was taking the carb off I broke one the small plastic pieces on the throttle shaft connecting rod. I have looked on several web sites and have not seen one anywhere. Anyone have one they would like to sell me. Or know where I may be able to get one.

For those that know the area or want to look it up on a map I went from Delta (Vanclouver, BC), out the #1 to Hope, north to Williams Lake to visit Mallory (another roadster owner), up to Quesnel to look at a roadster he had heard about (thrashed/rusted/mostly stripped high windshield), back down to Williams Lake, down to Cache Creek and over to Kamloops to visit family, down to Summerland/Penticton to visit more family, then to Osoyoos and headed back home on the Hope - Princeton highway. Stopped at the Gold Dust Pub in Hedley for a pint and to cool off from the 35*C heat and was greeted by some very freindly staff who happen to be car crazy also, but the marque of choice was Pontiac! Cold beer, good food, freindly conversation, I highly recommend a stop if you are passing thru..... This was another shakedown run for the EFI system and 1800cc stroker. Everything went very well, except for the oil leak which I will have another shot at fixing very shortly, along with a few other things. Some thoughts: - Still very rich in some areas of the fueling map, on some hills the air fuel ratio would be into the 10.5 to 11:1 range. - Cruises very nicely at 15.5 -16:1 air fuel ratio. No load, so no worries about burning holes in anything. - Deceleration fuel cut works great! On downhill runs with your foot off the gas I have it set to cut fuel altogether. The A/F gauge pegs at 18:1 and basically coast down the hill until I put my foot on the throttle again. I was surprised at how smooth the transition back and forth is. I thought there may be a bit of a stumble or jerk, but it is a very smooth transition when you get on the throttle again. - Lots of power for passing! A lot of the highways I was on are windy 2 lane highways where you wait for the extra passing lane or pass when it is safe on a dotted centre line. A quick drop to 3rd and punch it and I'm past the big trucks and slower drivers in no time at all. - The ride is actually quite nice. I run 185/65/15 tires on 280ZX Turbo wheels and find the ride quite liveable for longer drives. I may have given up some cornering ability with the larger sidewall, but I'm very happy with the all around drivability of the car. Minor sidewall rubbing on the right side to fix. - Rattles and buzzes, lots of them to find and fix. Both doors and a couple from under the dash. Very irritating on long trips. - Wind noise increases significantly over 70 mph! Cruising at 60 mph is serene in comparison. - 5 spds are a HUGE improvement for long road trips. I cruise at 60 mph at 2700 rpm and about 3100 rpm for 70 mph. No problems from the engine standpoint as it will accelerate from about 2000 rpm in fifth, and I only had to shift to fourth for a couple of really steep hills. Once I have the fuel/spark dialed in that may not even be nescessary. - Milage...According to my Classic Instruments speedometer, my best was 43 mpg and the worst was 31 mpg, average being about 39 mpg. I am trying to confirm my calibration, but I know it is well within 10% on the speed at least, so worst case average for the trip should be about 35 mpg? I used 1/2 tank of gas between Chilliwack and Cache Creek..........and slightly less than 3/4 tank from Summerland to Chilliwack (28.7 ltrs)........ Very happy with it overall, with a new list of things to work on..... 1. Eliminate as many rattles as possible! 2. Change transmission and rear diff to synthetic oil. 3. Replace little nylon bushing on end of shifter inside tranny. (it's a little sloppy) 4. Lean out high load fuel a little.

My previous book was a poorly photocopied copy of the Clymer manual... not a bad publication by itself, but my copy resembled a mish-mosh collection of bits and pieces of previous articles than a concise and sequentally ordered book. Talk about hard to find information! I finally scored a Parts Manual.... but that doesn't explain how they go together or what to avoid. The Datsun Roadster Book, even to a non-grease mechanic such as myself (I'm a bodyman), explained items that would have otherwise been incomprehensible. And yet, there are items that are more complex than what I can understand, but from what has been explained to me, they are the kind of exacting specs that the grease-mechanic DOES want. (No offense to anyone that does do "grease-work", but in mixing/applying filler you don't use a scale or measuring calipers and grease is a definite no-no.)

Attending any or all of these events should be a great time for all. If you are planning to attend the meet and have a registration form in hand you should get it off to Phyllis ASAP. If you did not receive a registration form you can download one here: http://www.nowroc.org/events/ The web site also includes information about motels in the area. I am planning to go down from Portland on Thursday. If you are going my way let me know and maybe we can hook up. I am also looking for a passenger for the poker run if you know someone interested in participating in the fun. Remember, this is the 25th annual event.

The interference fit of the freeze plug causes it to compress a bit when you tap it in, and may grip the socket.

I got a few different suggestions, but it seemed to be that Hagerty was the hands down winner. They offer a really good price and you get roadside service included. They will work with you for an agreed upon value, so you don't get stuck with blue book used car value. They are really friendly and answered all my questions quickly. The only thing to look out for is to make sure that you schedule any service or assistance through them. If you call a tow truck on your own, they will not cover it. I also heard issues that if you have more drivers than cars, they will give you trouble. Someone also mentioned an issue with children of driving age. I didn't have that problem, but it is something to look out for. Hope this helps.

Dave, Oil drain plug: I don't think you can hurt this thing unless you apply enough torque to strip the threads, but there's no need to tighten it more than is necessary to flatten the copper gasket. (I have had to remove them when they had been really cranked down, but I have never seen one leak if the gasket was intact.) The sensitivity regarding over-tightening the oil pan is with respect to the 6mm (10mm hex head) cap screws which secure the oil pan to the block. Look at an oil pan with the gasket removed: There is a raised area down the center of the mating surface with the block. If one over-tightens those cap screws, he can crush and damage the cork gasket near the bolt holes, creating a leak path. I haven't seen a torque value for the oil pan bolts/cap screws. There are standards for torque which can be used when one doesn't have an OEM value. Unfortunately, I cannot find my list right now, but there are a couple of active or former mechanics on the List. Maybe someone has and will publish the generic torque standards to which I referred.

I made it a few inches too long on purpose so I would have extra length in case the flares I made didn't seal and I had to cut one or both off and re-flare the end. Both flares sealed just fine---YEEAAAAAA!! However, in order to get the line to connect on both ends, I bent the line upwards, across and back down and made a sort of half hoop to take up the extra line. I then bled the brakes, starting with the farthest wheel, etc. I was unable to get a firm pedal and had to stop shortly after doing the last brake (ran out of time). Is this "half hoop" going to hold an air bubble, or is the brake fluid going to be thick enough to push all the air out? Thanks and sorry to be so verbose. Tim Belleville, WI.

Harrington Group's Roadster page Does anyone have personal experience with this company or this product? I have a '68 1600 and managed to pick up a pair of '69 bumpers that were rechromed (beautiful) and did not come with overriders. I want to install the bumpers with overriders so there will be some straightening and chrome work on the pieces I have. As I understand it, all '68's had a notched rear bumper for the license plate light. Is this correct or where there some '68's that did not come with the notched rear bumper? The chromed rear bumper I have is not notched and does not have the mounting holes and I have not yet come across the correct rear bumper for the car. Honestly, these polished stainless bumpers complete with overriders seem like a great way to get the "correct parts" for the car. Thoughts?

The lamp bodies are grounded at the bumper to complete the circuit. While this is simple and works, it also can be dangerous since the wiring and switch has to handle the high current drawn by the lamp[s]. If you wish to retain the OEM toggle switch, you should incorporate an automotive relay in the wiring to switch the high load, and the switch operates the relay. The relay is operated by the toggle switch by a ground signal, which is easily wired to one of the switch terminals. The power feed connects to the relay contact and the relay coil. The other side of the relay contact is wired to the Fog lamps. The other wire of the Fog lamp[s] are grounded to the chassis. If you need a schematic to explain this, let me know. "Hi gang, electrical is my weakness. I am installing fog lights on the Roadster and the switch the new lights came with is 3 prong, with one for ground. I want to use the original switch, but it is 2 prong and I assume grounded through the switch body itself (?). Can I use the old switch? Thanks. Greg Burrows 67 2000" ________________________________________ 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 Wed Jun 24 23:25:15 2009 From: "gregs672liter@netzero.net" To: datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:23:28 GMT Subject: [Roadsters] switch Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about wiring and switches for the fog lamps. Looks like a relay is a good idea. These are not high output lights, but you can never be too careful. To those who asked, I do have a fuse to protect the amp guage, as I once paid the price for not having one. If others do not, I highly recommend you put one in. Thanks again!

Many owners don't attend this annual event because their cars are not gleaming examples of the Datsun roadster. Don't let your stop you from attending. Bring what ya got and meet a great bunch of people who will be happy to see you. I have posted contact information to most of the motels in the area on my Calendar of Events page.

Hi there and commiserations, If you suspect a carb, try pulling the spark plug leads for cyl #1 & 2 then #3 & 4.

If I remember right the cost to buy all of the parts, including chain guides, a new upper oil tensioner, and upper chain was around $30 including a couple of new valves to replace the bent ones. I think I only bent two valves and drove the car home after working on the race car a friend owned and drove. Your right about the loss of power. It was a slow drive home. The funny thing was that the chain jumped the tooth in moderate traffic when I was driving like an angel and not winding things out.

I am totally bummed I did not get to go. I can vouch for the lack of Midwest get togethers, but Tim and I are trying to get this going again. Everyone, For any of you who are close, we were thinking of making a strong showing at the local Quaker Steak and Lube car cruise night here in Madison/middleton. The show is every thursday night from 5 to 8 until October I believe. You can check out their website for more details. I talked to another owner in town here (Steve Nicks, I don't know if you are on this list yet). He is up for meeting us there. I believe he is running a 1970 1600 from CA. Bill Wessel is also up for joining. I believe Bill and Steve are both out of town this week, but the following (July 9) sounds like it might be a good night. The QS&L show is mostly (95%) domestics and almost 100% drivers. Even though they are imports, people get excited to see our little roadsters there. My car is in no way great shape, but I get a lot of looks and comments. Anyone in the area should join. Please send me an email and we can rally the troops. I will try to get a midwest email list so I can give you all more details of midwest events. Anyone up for a trip to Road America? I told Tim I would try to put one together. Steve Nicks: I cc'd you on this email. I highly recommend joining the mailing list. You can get on through www.311s.org. Lots of great info comes this way that does not always make it to the website. It's a great way to keep up on what is happening in the world of roadsters. Also, join the site if you have not already.

I need help with my '68 2000. About a year ago, I replaced the original starter with the recommended Nissan forklift gear-reduction type as posted on our wiki section. Worked fine for about 6 trips. Installed new headers, leaving the shop, 10 minutes later, I hear a high pitch whirling sound, then smoke from under the hood, I shut it down. Was told by a mechanic its the starter. I replaced it with another forklift starter, drove it maybe a dozen more times. Last weekend, started up in the garage, idled for 10 minutes when I went inside, came back, heard the whirling sound, then smoking. Immediately shut it down, looked underneath, saw smoke coming from starter, not able to start it again. What the heck?? Mechanic said maybe solenoid, not disengaging flywheel, and burning up the solder inside. It did smell like an electrical fire. Could it be anything else? Ignition system? Why does it appear to work a few times than fails? I'm hesitant to go ahead and throw in this new starter at this point. Should I take it to an electrical specialist to diagnose first? Thanks!

I will look for Roadsters (as always) - I do need a good excuse to stretch out the new '60 BMW R60/2 though, and RA will probably be the first long outing. We'll see from there. - Barring a direct asteroid hit to Wisconsin, I WILL be racing at Road America for Fall Vintage VSCDA weekend Sept 10-13. It would be great to see some Roadsters by a fence somewhere to wave at as I pedal by. My paddock is open! - I'm really close Bill, I found the well-organized but missing manifold hardware! Time, time, time. No U20 balancer yet though. Will be stealing it from the 66-2L. Steve Steve's Racing web site www.NoNameRacing.com Elkhart Lake Racing & Sipping Society www.elrss.com ---------------------------------- For any of you who are close, we were thinking of making a strong showing at the local Quaker Steak and Lube car cruise night here in Madison/middleton. The show is every thursday night from 5 to 8 until October I believe. You can check out their website for more details. I talked to another owner in town here (Steve Nicks, I don't know if you are on this list yet). He is up for meeting us there. I believe he is running a 1970 1600 from CA. Bill Wessel is also up for joining. I believe Bill and Steve are both out of town this week, but the following (July 9) sounds like it might be a good night. The QS&L show is mostly (95%) domestics and almost 100% drivers. Even though they are imports, people get excited to see our little roadsters there. My car is in no way great shape, but I get a lot of looks and comments. Anyone in the area should join. Please send me an email and we can rally the troops. I will try to get a midwest email list so I can give you all more details of midwest events. Anyone up for a trip to Road America? I told Tim I would try to put one together. ________________________________________ 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 Jun 30 22:47:24 2009 From: "Gary and Cindy Ault" To: "Ritchie Labate" , Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:44:31 -0500 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Smoking/failing starter or something else? Forget the gear-reduction starters and put a real starter in the car. A stock starter cranks my '66 1600/2000 at 10 below after sitting outside overnight, so I see no reason to use anything else. I have a gear-reduction starter (almost new) I took out of my '67-1/2 2000. I consider it to be junk, but I am willing to sell it to anyone who really wants one.
