Ken, I have used 3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive for many years, including for installation of roadster door weatherstrips. (I presume you have the factory-style weatherstrip, which attaches by folding a thin piece of rubber over the lip on the door opening and windshield frame. The door portion is held on by three pieces of aluminum trim.) The 3M product is available in black -- P/N 08008 --so minor goofs won't show. Note: When I replaced the door waetherstrips on my low-wiindshield car years ago, I found that the replacement material didn't allow the doors to close easily -- it is rather thick despite being a factory part. Closing the doors with the weatherstrip in its proper position and leaving them that way for several days compressed the new weatherstrip enough that the door began to close more easily.

The trans bellhousing allows for the L/Z tilt, so would need to be swapped to fit a RWD SR20. FWD SR20 requires an adapter. Regarding a KA24 tranny to a SR20 engine, Googling found: "The KA and the SR MTs are basically identical. The only difference in the gear ratios is OD; the SR is 0.838, the KA is 0.759.

A few questions: 1. My ball joint boots had long since expired, just become a massive ball of rubber/grease. But when I get down thru the ball of grease and expose the ball joint surface, there is a washer right above that, larger enough ID to clear the shaft, small enough OD to fit under the boot. Is this a remnant of the old boot (some sort of metal piece that rode at the top of it), or is it one of parts #19/20/21 in the diagram, and is meant to go between the b/j lower surface and the mass of grease, acting as some sort of metering device? http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/Images/38.gif 2. I am lucky in that this area has been visited by the PO before, so no bolts are shearing or massively frozen. I know this as well because I discovered a set of KYB Gas-a-just shocks, that can easily be re-used. The only drawback to the ones removed is that the threaded rod was left sticking thru the lower a-arm a bit too far, and was bent at a 20-30 degree angle by some curb (or maybe a stone on a cow pasture, but that is a story for another day) Any preference as to using the Gas-a-justs vs the GR-2s I had purchased for install? (spirited road driving is the goal, no cone killing in my future) Some of the other notes collected from the teardown (only one side so far) Suspension: 1. Going well, one wheel completely down to bits. No terrible things found, in fact, some rather alarming but minor things. 2. No need for new shocks (which I had already bought). There is a set of KYB Gas-a-just already in there, dirty but completely functional (in fact very stiff), only downside is the bolt which protrudes downward - the lower attachment - was bent ~30 degrees by some curb impact a while back... maybe it was a large stone? 3. The "no need for new shocks" means "someone has been here before", so I am lucky in all of the bolts are releasing their grip, not shearing off. (no blood letting yet) 4. The lower ball joint isn't BAD as expected by the tire wear. The upper A-arm pivot, which is held in by two bolts, well, the rear of the two bolts was loosened, with like 4 threads exposed, and had been that way for quite some time, so that when you grasped the wheel when jacked up, the whole a-arm canted fwd/back. Scary if it had ever let loose, in one loud bang, followed by a loud pronouncement of "s#$%t, this is going to hurt." 5. Don't work on suspension bits in shorts. Axle grease on your shins is a bear to get off, and doubles the time spent if you have to clean the shower floor. 6. Don't ever run out of oil absorbent, it will always be at an untimely moment. 7. Need to get a good heavy vise for the garage, as now I have the lower a-arm loose, dismantling it is a bear if not tied down. 8. Pat Mahoney's bolt packs are a jewel to work with, all clean, labeled, plated.

On the late-style version with the megaphone tip, it is straight through with very little reduction in pipe internal diameter and no baffles. Also, the later-style exhaust places the muffler behind the driver's seat, instead of within the "X" of the crossmember, which was directly under the seat. A straight pipe replaces the muffler. You can use basically any straight-through glass-pack you want as a resonator, as long as you match the pipe diameter to minimize installation problems. There are varieties with chrome tips which look nice. I am not sure what I have on my '67-1/2, but it isn't stock. Your local speed shop (probably not Midas, etc.) should be able to install (or sell you) something appropriate.

That's the primary reason for asking all ya'll. :-) I had the original exhaust manifold replaced with the coated header, and they installed a flex pipe at that time as well, but the rest of the exhaust appears to be factory "fresh". So as memory serves, there is a pipe running to a muffler near the area of the drivers seat, to a pipe over the rear axle to the resonator and the fancy flared exhaust tip. Eddie, do you recall a specific muffler you used? Should I just go shopping for a new muffler with the approximate dimensions of the resonator? I should probably just drive it over to my fav exhaust shop and ask them? Huh?

The engine's a stock U-20. If I were planning maximizing power I probably would have had it made from mandrel bent tubing, but we did make sure the pipe was centered to avoid banging. The guy wedged lengths of pipe centered in the holes and then used welding rod to mock up the bends so those sections of pipe stayed centered when the system was finished. Medium sized reversre flow muffler under the seat, glass pack type resonator back by the gas tank along with a beveled chrome tip. Works very well. Roughly 3 hours on the lift, cost was just under $400 which I thought a bit high, but the workmanship is very good.

Newer/after market boots are either polyurethane or some sort of rubber and don't use any internal reinforcing. They either clip into the groove on the ball joint and are held tight by a helical spring or in the case of poly boots, they just slip over the BJ and seal quite effectively. Bottom line: - washer is redundant! "I too have the same dilemma - on all the fittings - upper,lower balls, idler arms joints, a flat 'washer' with holes.

BTW, congrats to Ron Dickson for driving his 'burned' 2000 all the way from Williams, AZ to Murietta, therby winning both best 'diamond in the rough' and the 'Iron Bottom' cushion award.

I would like the measurement from the tip of the spear to the first pin hole closest to the letter "F". I'll need a measurement for both sides. Although my car is LHD, it was originally purchased in Okinawa, Japan. I still have one of the two original emblems but, due to two accidents the car no longer has either of the original fenders on it. One replacement fender came from Nissan with no holes. The other replacement is from a USA car that had the "Datsun 1600" emblem. The body shop can fill and drill new holes if, I give them the location.

But occasionally, a bright light of awesome renews the spirit. Road-legal bumper cars do just that. Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. Either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines for power, and retired vintage bumper car bodies - transformed into the most awesome form of mini-car we've ever seen. There's seven of these little monsters floating around California, and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a gyro-gear loose builder on the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap. They were originally powered by Harley engines but rattled like heck and Tom replace them with Honda or Kawasaki 750's... and a couple have been 'measured' [not run at] theoretically as capable of 160 MPH which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase. Doesn't mean we would totally rock one should the opportunity present itself. In fact, we now have only one burning desire, to see these things running a go kart track with a clown in the drivers seat.

My stainless steel trim does is not inserted on both sides of the rubber channel and does not seat correctly as it looks like it will pop out when I wash the car. Can someone send me some close up photos of their windscreen rubber and the way the trim fits in mainly the corners. I have the new rubber that I got from Dean at datsunparts.

IT's the small round black knob next to the starter key. Either it's corroded, and spinning the knob back and forth will clean it up, OR, It could be bad. But you can look under the dash and simply unplug it, and then plug the two wires into each other. (You won't have dimmer function.) If it lights up then, then you've got a bad dimmer switch.

I think there is also a chance that the same jack was used in other Datsun/Nissan products, including later pickup trucks. Here is what I am looking for: - 1.5 Ton Jack: Mine is red, however, most older Datsun jacks were yellow. - Long Jack Handle: Don't necessarily need the spin handle part, but do need the long portion. - Lug wrench (3/4") + any other tools.

Peter Dean is right - the instructions work great if followed - that said it is a pain. Kevin D and I (well mostly Kevin) put mine in earlier this year.

While it CAN be used with success, the main problem is that it MUST be applied twice.

The problem is that if you're not very careful you'll have streaks where it's thicker / thinner and that is where it begins to separate. 3M does make a very good adhesive for Vinyl/Metal, it's number 80. I've used this on my car and other projects and had exceptional results. I've also had good luck using plain old Contact Cement out of a can and brushing it on.

The directions say to apply to both surfaces and allow to partially dry, but I have never found that necessary. When I have attached interior vinyl trim to the backer board, I applied all of the glue to the backside of the backer board at the edges where the material overlaps. The trim was not glued to the inside surface (front) at all. I also used the 3M product to attach the vinyl trim to the header on my top, the top to the header, and all of the weatherstrip. Formerly, the product was only available in yellow, which meant clean-up time for those "oops" areas. Now, though, it is available in black, so a little oozing around the edges of weatherstrips is not as important.

"headliner" has the issue of GRAVITY pulling on it. The side panels for the doors, etc, aren't hung the way a headliner is. Thus, the adhesive doesn't have to be as "strong" say, as headliner adhesive would need to be. You are correct in the application process, but I'm not sure where the big "problem" lies. So you apply it twice, and make sure it's really, really, sticky before you clamp the pieces together... not that big of a deal. As for "heat". I'm in southern california, and my car has been through weeks of ridiculous heat (over 110 degrees) without any of the vinyl loosening from the backer board. The 3M stuff worked great for me....

I don't recall any electrical control for this valve. Rather, high-vacuum conditions -- which occurred when the throttle was closed at speed, -- would cause the valve to open, diluting the incoming mixture to avoid an over-rich condition in the exhaust, which could literally blow the muffler apart. It was 1972 when I removed the emission control (Nissan Air Injection System) from my 1969 U20 before I put it into my 1966 1600. I do not recall any electrical connections on the anti-backfire valve. I also do not recall any other "bypass" valve in the system, but mine was vintage 1969, and the '70s may have had a different design. I still have the complete 1969 NAIS system -- been in a box since 1972.

Each of these is vented and the vents would probably be below fluid level if rotated. My main concern would be the hydraulic systems and fuel system. If they leak you get paint damage or a fire hazard. Oils are easier to clean up unless they get into the upholstery. Other than that, I don't see any real problem in storing a car vertical, as long as it is safely secured in that position and can be gotten vertical safely.

My graph uses the stock N-17 needle as a baseline. The distance above the baseline is how much richer the needles are than stock. The numbers across the bottom are the station number.

Dump all that emissions stuff and let the motor run. You will NOT need the fuel return line that the 1600 used. And of course, you'll need the 2000 tranny mount and a hybrid drive shaft. Will you stay with the 3.9 R&P or swap to the 3.7? the 3.9 will make it more fun off the line and it isn't enough to hurt freeway rpms too much.
