It took a big hammer, a block of wood, and a lot of cussing, but the 2000 is headed to the Senior Prom tonight. The weather may be a problem, so I agreed to him using the Silvia as plan B.

Thanks to all for your advice and to (I can't remember which one of you) the person who recommended the 51R. I can't remember the last time my car cranked over so fast. I also saved about $25 over the cost of the 53. The 51R is a tad taller than the 53 but there's still plenty of room betweeen the top of the battery and the bottom of the hood.Thanks again.

From time to time it pings > when I excellerate. Also, the temperature gauge runs to the high side... Assuming the head wasn't shaved when the engine was rebuilt (which increases the compression ratio, shifts valve timing, etc): I'm suspecting you're running the stock distributor with the 'smog' advance curve... You can verify if you have a timing light or wish to disassemble the distributor (I don't know your level of mechanical 'hands-on' experience). Basically, the earlier distributors have 15 degrees mechanical advance (weights stamped 7.5), the later has 35 degrees (stamped 17.5). Early timing is 16 degrees BTDC, later zero degrees. Setting a late distributor at 16 degrees helps performance but leads to knocking. Running at zero degrees leads to overheating at idle (that's why later cars have extra vacuum switches on the vacuum advance and coolant circuits). The list archives or the web site wiki will cover this in more detail... -- John John F Sandhoff sandhoff@csus.edu Sacramento, CA ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $16.00 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Mon May 3 12:38:27 2010 From: jrdmf@aol.com To: Mtbdavid2@aol.com, datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Date: Mon, 03 May 2010 14:09:51 -0400 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] question on correct size mounting acorn nuts for They are a 5/16 X 24 thread and I have a few so drop me an address and I'll send you a couple?

There were some older slower people in the crowd, so odds were on our side :-) Photos will be on 311's I think Gary covered the usual suspects, drive gear and drive tang. Here's the ones I've run across lately. If Gary or I built the distributor this all applies, and Stan Chernoff builds them the same way as far as I have seen. Some of these are simplistic, all have been done by some nameless person, but better to cover it all 1. The "normal" installed position is the same as the original, vacuum advance at the back side. If not, the clamping plate is upside down. 2. Number 1 plug wire is 1 cap terminal clockwise from the clip nearest the vacuum advance. There is usually a vertical rib on the cap near the bottom, At #1 top dead center, 0 timing, the rotor should be pointing at this terminal and the "teeth" on the reluctor (rotating) and stator (stationary) parts below the rotor should be lined up. Slightly counterclockwise at the normal 16 deg advance. Total advance at 3500rpm+ is 31 deg with vacuum disconnected. 3. The vacuum line goes to the little nipple or steel line under the baseplate of the rear carburetor, not to manifold vacuum 4. # 1 cylinder is the front of the engine, but the timing light works on # 1 or #4. 5. If you still have the original distributor that the car ran with, put them side by side, see what is different. My cell # is 908-591-9892 Let me know if I can be of any help Dave ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $16.00 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Mon May 3 23:03:27 2010 From: "Pete Peters" To: "Datsun Roadster List" Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 21:46:38 -0700 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Looking for some help with a "Dizzy" (Gary Boone) Oops....meant Yosemite...the other "Y" park.

I currently have a "restored" (inner rust proofing and cancer fixed) set of front fenders on my 1600, temporarily at least, until I get a nicer set rust proofed. After massaging the first set onto the car, (they are rough from being on a car that was evidently in a front end accident), I have managed to put small dents on the tops of one. You know what I am talking about: the thin soft top edges that are prone to denting with very little pressure. What I am wondering is this: Has any one reinforced this area from underneath? Is there anything that can be done to strengthen this area? Thanks for any and all advice and thoughts.

A few BRE autographs. A chance to visit with old friends. An opportunity to meet some new 'list' friends. The only 'casualty' was discovered on Monday morning upon leaving Mt Airy (Home of Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee, & Opie). Before leaving home I bought new wiper blades. But I never thought to actually try the wipers! Once again, RainX got me through the down pour and fog as we crested the mountains just into Virginia. And that long long uphill climb was the only time the temperature gauge got my attention. Thankfully, it dropped back down once we crested the top and half way down, the sun came back out and stayed out for the rest of the ride home. And that all adds up to great racing, great cars, and even better friends! Thanks to all my Datsun friends, those at the Mitty, and those that helped me get my roadster ready for the trip. Without the first group, it wouldn't have been worth the long drive. Without the second group, it wouldn't have been possible! Next roadster gatherings are the MidOhio Vintage GP in June and the Indian Lake Vintage Boat show in July. Next 510 gathering for me will be Summit Point next spring. But now that the roadster is running so well, I'm sure I'll fit in a few ice cream rides before any of them!

I am rebuilding my 68 2k roadster and my current header bar from my soft top looks like it has been stomped on and broken as it has a split in the middle and has more bondo than the car had in the rear fender. Not pretty at all and this is the only bit I am now missing. So I am chasing a good conditon one that someone will be willing to sell and ship all the way to Australia. It is heading into winter over here and I should have the car running in July as I will have fitted the new wiring harness and should have taken it to get run on the dyno and the microtech system programed to suit the car. Then it is off to get registered and I might even get to drive this car as I have owned it for 3 years and have only be able to push it. It's running a CA18DET with front mount intercooler and larger turbo just because I can as the car came with a seized 2ltr motor. cheers Peter Jones p.s. pictures off the car are on facebook. _________________________________________________________________ If It Exists, You'll Find it on SEEK.

The 66 I have does not have matching door or trunk locks and the 67 had no keys and the locks were mixed with other locks. Tell me about the keys on a 66-67. Did the ignition key match the doors or trunk? Did the doors match the trunk? Are the trunk lock assemblies longer than the door locks? The 66 had a 5000 series ignition switch red key and the trunk has a 1000 series blue key. The 1000 trunk lock assembly is short like on the doors and was wondering if this may have been a door lock. I ask because I have a seventy trunk lock assembly that is longer than the door locks and one other long lock assembly I believe is to the 67. I think I may have a set of lock assemblies to fit the 67. The ignition switch (5000 series) key is a DT13 blank. The only long assembly lock I believe is for the trunk has no number on it but the DT15 blank fits. As for the matching door lock assemblies I found they have a 4000 series number on them but one appears broke as it takes several different blanks and the other lock appears to be block with something. Thoughts before I go to the locksmith?

Being electrically challenged, I was (am) a little nervous when it comes to doing electrical projects. It is one thing to do rust repair or rust proofing (one project I am in the middle of on a rolling resto); most if not all of which can be undone fairly easily. But it I make a mistake doing wiring, well, a new wiring harness can be pricey! Thanks again!

There is no slow speed circuit on an SU - all fuel flow is controlled by the variable venturi opening and the needle position. I suspect the problem is the rear carb is either set way too lean, or there is a needle problem, or the fuel (float) level is way low: 1) Idle mixture is set by the 'thumbwheel' that moves the needle seat up and down. He needs to try richening the mixture by turning the thumbwheel so it lowers the seat 2) If the needle has come loose and dropped down, it will be plugging the opening at idle. He needs to remove the dome, carefully remove the piston (remember the oil that's in it!), and make sure the needle is properly seated. There's a set screw that holds it in place; it should be inserted so the shoulder is flush with the face. ALSO, if the wrong needle has been installed, that'll play havoc! 3) If the fuel level is way low, there won't be enough air flow (vacuum) across the needle/seat to suck fuel at idle, but at higher engine speeds you'll start drawing fuel. Personally, I'd look at this possibility first. -- John John F Sandhoff sandhoff@csus.edu Sacramento, CA ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $16.00 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Thu May 13 22:28:35 2010 From: S B To: datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 21:23:16 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Roadsters] Transmission interchange question After almost a year of being off the list I'm happy to be back.

Had to change the exhaust system and the radiator because of fit-up differences, but they bolt together fine. The 4-speed seems to take the higher torque of the 2L engine just fine. The engine is metric and the rest of the car (pretty much) is SAE. If you fit a late transmission to an early block, you'll need to get metric bolts to replace the SAE parts on the early installation. Also, if you fit a five-speed to an engine formerly equipped with a four-speed, you need to change the backing plate (which goes between the engine and transmission), as well. The plates are different thicknesses on 1600/4-speeds and 2000/5-speeds.

Boy, ain't that the truth! I'm almost done selling off the parts I had left over from my rebuild, and I can tell you, it's not worth the hassle. Some people are very thankful, but far too many get good parts cheap, then bitch and complain about everything under the sun.... Interestingly, I've had conversations with several vendors, some of which are very prominent and who are on this list, and I can tell you a couple of them have flat out said they're so tired of the bull$#it, they're ready to pack it in, and frankly, I can't blame them. They day may come where there won't be ANY roadster vendors not because of a lack of demand, but rather, because of a lack of desire to put up with the crap. "the customer is always right" may be a nice catchy slogan, but sometimes, the customer is just a complete a-hole, and that doesn't make him "right". I don't see any issue with that listing, but would be curious as to what exactly was misleading....

Team.

He listed a bunch of "spare" parts for the 64 1500 (now 1600) that he is also trying to sell, but it didn't at a BIN of $2100. For my eyes, his explanations, descriptions and numerous photographs belie any label of deceit. Sometimes the easiest explanation is benign lack of knowledge and not malicious intent. That he doesn't know the specific date code and time stamp on a specific part number used on specific VIN numbers on specific assembly lines for each and every part that might/could/was used on a car does NOT mean he's trying to "rip you off" or mislead you. It may simply be that he doesn't know as much as you, and is wording his ad in the hopes of attracting a buyer. He's not billing it as a Rare, OEM, -one of a kind-, unobtainable, part that you must have. I'll bet that I'm not the only one that looked at the picture and thought "it looks ok, not sure about 'Stanley' as a brand name but....". The light in question may simply be: a) the light that came off the car and he bought a different / newer / better one. b) one he was sold by someone who purported to be or was actually more knowledgeable than he, who also did not have the unabridged lexicon of parts engraved in his memory, or, ~shudder~ one with malicious intent.... or someone who didn't know any better and was going by the "look" only. c) the light from the car and parts his kid bought and dumped in his garage and then decided he'd let Dad dispose of his mess. Intentionally misleading or mis-informed and inadvertently misleading? One is reprehensible and the other can be as simple to explain as an honest mistake. Statements such as : "I beleive his/her listings, such as the one for the reverse lamp, are deliberately worded to mislead" Which label best applies to that quote; "Intentionally misleading" or "Mis-informed and inadvertently misleading"?

Part of the Dairyland Datsun group is heading out on Thursday afternoon, some on Friday morning and more on Saturday. There may even be a racer heading out on Wednesday?? Tammy and I are planning to drive the entire 400-ish miles on Friday. I haven't confirmed routes with the others, but I plan to blast through Chicago just a quickly as I can, then follow Hwy 30 across Indiana and Ohio. This was the Goggle suggestion, so let me know if the locals along the way have a route that makes more sense. If anybody out there would like to join Tammy and I somewhere along the route, I'm sure we can make it happen. We are planning a fairly leisurely drive on Friday. I expect we'll have to stop frequently to stretch and walk around some, so our travel time may not be great. If you are up for a stroll across Indiana/Ohio on Friday June 25th, let me know off list.

At the time, as a poor student in Canada I wished that I had the new Datsun 2000 instead, with its big power, 5-speed and synchro into first gear (which the S600 didn't have) but there was absolutely no hope. I bought the Honda for $90 with the engine apart in a box - the pedals were so close together that the previous owner got his right foot caught under the brake pedal when the gas was at the floor in first gear. The tach apparently went all the way round close to RPM and then there was a noise..... I picked bits of piston ring out of the alloy head while doing the repairs. It had a roller crank, spaghetti header to a dual exhaust, 4 CV-type carbs, twin cams, wet liners, adjustable torsion bar front springs and IRS with the two chain cases driven from the fixed rear axle, and no it wasn't like any motorcycle engine Honda ever made. The gearbox had an oil pump for lubrication, and with a redline of 9500, it made me feel like racerboy even though I wasn't really going very fast. I sold it for a ridiculously low price that I'm embarassed even now to reveal.... Somewhere in a basement I still have some S600 parts, but now I'm a diehard Datsun guy....

Keep that in mind while you read. After doing some various maintenance on the roadster last week (including plugs, points, condensor, and tach cable seal), my timing got way out of whack. The car was running great before. I had the motor and transmission reworked 4-5 years ago, and embarrassingly, I've never messed with the timing. So... we got the timing adjusted, but it had to be moved to the extent of its adjustment. I'm not sure if it is full advanced or retard, but either way, it's got no more. The group helping me, came to the conclusion that the distributor is off a tooth. So...How does this happen. One..Did the mechanic who did my engine work several years ago put it back together like that? or Two...Did something else happen to allow the distributor to jump a tooth? Remember, I'm not much of a mechanic. Sorry if this belongs in the stupid question dept. Second part, do I just go through the motions of re-setting the distributor, or is there something else I need to be concerned about? The car is running great since we adjusted the timing.

I've researched around and found information on the 311 site about this but wanted a little more info. My alternator has died. I took it into a shop to get it tested and it no longer charges. I had a problem where the voltage regulator fried. I found the short and got it fixed and replaced the regulator but found that my car wasn't charging. Now with the alternator kaput it is a good time to replace it and upgrade so that I can install a stereo, speakers, and possibly upgrade my headlights. So my question is it seems like the GM alternator is the way to go, either with the GM Delco Remy 10SI or 12SI. However there seems to be a dearth of choices to go with. I'm looking for the simplest replacement as I am new to auto electrical work as a whole. What exact alternator do I need to replace this? If I'm going to upgrade the radio with speakers and eventually upgrade the lights is an alternator around 60 amps or 90 amps good? Anyone know of the part number for the alternator? It also sounds like I'll have to modify my mount to fit the alternator. My ampere meter was never hooked up so it is currently capped, but I do want to hook it up. I'm a little confused from reading whether or not I will be able to use the meter and if I need a 1 or 3 wire alternator. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks oh great wise internets.

I noticed that there are two intakes and the one on the passenger side had a cable going through the rubber that attached to the blower. When I check on the drivers side, I notice that it was a different style with it's butterfly being operated by a cable on the outside. This leads me to believe that the passenger side one was replaced at some point. I've also notice some old sealer around the intakes. I can't see an easy way of getting this replaced, unless I take the front wheel arches off. Given the rusted heater box I had, I was wonder what the odds are of a heavy rain storm filling up the grill in front of the windscreen and then flowing into the air intakes and down through the heater plumbing and in to the car? Or maybe it went down inside the wheel arch and stayed there helping my rust form.

I'm not against alternator swaps. Someday I plan on doing it myself. To do it right requires proper fusing, resizing the feed wires, shunting or bypassing the alternator, in addition to proper physical mounting, etc. So one question you need to ask: What will you gain? As far as power needs, 55w headlights times two draw under 10 amps. 50 watt stereo another 10 amps. Add running lights, heater, cell phone charger and you're still doing OK (marginal, but OK). Mind you, an extra margin would be nice - 40 or 50 amp would be good. But necessary? Not unless you're doing more than what I've just listed... Just a thought... Others I'm sure will differ :-) Bring on the discussion! -- John John F Sandhoff sandhoff@csus.edu Sacramento, CA ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $16.00 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net Tue May 25 18:55:22 2010 From: Pat Horne To: antony wardle Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 19:55:59 -0500 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Air intake question Kiwi, The problem is that your car is almost upside down in comparison to those here in the states, but not as upside down as the Aussie cars. You have to use special hoses and parts that especially calibrated to work backwards to ours! ;-} If by intakes, you mean the fresh air vent intakes, as I recall, they are screwed in from under the dash. There is plenty of room for the water to run out the ends of the firewall, down into the fenders. There was a drain hose that went from the low spot under the grill in front of the windshield, down into the area above the heater box, out through the firewall through a grommet, and down the firewall behind the engine. When I bought my latest Roadster, this hose was missing and water ran out onto the floor. I stopped at a parts house and got a rubber freeze plug that fit to get me the 1400 miles home. That was about 7 years ago. I have a replacement hose in the trunk, but never took the time to install it. If you need a cowl drain hose, some of our vendors have them. I was also able to find a radiator hose from a small Japanese car that, with trimming, fits fine. The area behind the wheel wells fills up with trash and dirt that is kicked up by the front wheels. Most folks don't know that this area needs attention and kept cleaned out. If it is kept clean the water flows right out. If it is full of dirt, etc., the water will keep this area wet, causing fender rust from the inside.

I took my Roadster over to a reputable, local, alt/starter shop, got a new Hitachi/Mitsubishi 60 amp that had the same mounting tabs, so physical mounting wasn't an issue. Its a triple wire, internally regulated. The shop installer has done the swap in roadsters before, did a good job. He bypassed the external OEM regulator, but needed a jumper wire to continue the flow through the stock harness, IIRC, the wire acts as a 'fuseable link' of sorts with a specific gauge and length. I had already placed an inline fuse along the wire connecting to the ammeter. The previous older glass tube style "white tube, push and twist fuse holder" shorted on the way back from Solvang, a few years ago, due to corrosion. I put in a new blade style 30A inline with a weather pack to prevent moisture/corrosion. Check out the original version of the picture in this linky to help explain my questionable description... http://www.pbase.com/egillis/image/115002399/medium Or there may be another shot in the album with better view.

To do it right requires proper fusing, resizing the feed wires, shunting or bypassing the alternator, in addition to proper physical mounting, etc. So one question you need to ask: What will you gain? As far as power needs, 55w headlights times two draw under 10 amps. 50 watt stereo another 10 amps. Add running lights, heater, cell phone charger and you're still doing OK (marginal, but OK).

Here are a few bits of info on this subject. I have attached a picture for Hoon (I know the rest of you won't receive it.) 1) Pics from Leigh's GM alt conversion on Zippy: http://www.shiftco.com/features/zippy/zippy_048.html Pete 2) Here is a pic of the alt. mount used on the SP310. If you can get hold of one of these I guess the rest would be fairly easy. Graeme. (picture attached for Hoon only) 3) I have done the GM alt upgrade. Except for a broken bolt on the top for the adjuster, I have had no problems. Steve in MKE actually ran a tap through the type of mount shown in the attached picture and was able to create a sound mount for his gm alt. Good luck. tim Dairyland Datsuns ---- Hoon Kim wrote: ============= Sorry for the newbie question. I've researched around and found information on the 311 site about this but wanted a little more info. My alternator has died. I took it into a shop to get it tested and it no longer charges. I had a problem where the voltage regulator fried. I found the short and got it fixed and replaced the regulator but found that my car wasn't charging. Now with the alternator kaput it is a good time to replace it and upgrade so that I can install a stereo, speakers, and possibly upgrade my headlights. So my question is it seems like the GM alternator is the way to go, either with the GM Delco Remy 10SI or 12SI. However there seems to be a dearth of choices to go with. I'm looking for the simplest replacement as I am new to auto electrical work as a whole. What exact alternator do I need to replace this? If I'm going to upgrade the radio with speakers and eventually upgrade the lights is an alternator around 60 amps or 90 amps good? Anyone know of the part number for the alternator? It also sounds like I'll have to modify my mount to fit the alternator. My ampere meter was never hooked up so it is currently capped, but I do want to hook it up. I'm a little confused from reading whether or not I will be able to use the meter and if I need a 1 or 3 wire alternator. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks oh great wise internets.

It sounds like I'll be upgrading to the 60 amp GM one taken from an 81 Camaro with a 305. It's hard for me to visualize what will be needed both mechanically and electrically till I get it and see it for myself. Looks like that one is at 3 o'clock and I'm assuming that it should be a problem. I just know that I went on a 400 mile rally and with my battery not charging my drive home was not fun. I drove 2 hours on 680 at night with no brake lights and my battery draining right before Altamont pass. Luckily I was caravaning and swapped batteries with another car. Still not a fun way to end a very fun weekend. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions while I try and get this installed.

Did the car start when warm before your rebuilt the carbs? When you say that the Roadster starts fine when cold, is that with the choke knob pulled or in? Did you synchronize the carbs after putting them back on? If you watch the carb pistons when the engine is running, both at idle and when advancing the throttle, do both pistons rise the same amount? If you lift the pistons with the engine off do the both make a click when they bottom out, or do they stop before they get all the way to the bottom? If they don't, the jet on that carb needs to be centered. Are the shoulders on the needles sitting flush with the bottom of the pistons? Have you verified that the carb float levels are correct? The fuel should be just below the top of the jets There is a piston lift pin on each carb. With the engine running when you press up on the pin on one carb, the engine should slow down, but continue to run. Try the same on the other carb and it should slow down about the same. If they don't match, the carb synchronization is off. If lifting the carb pistons helps it to start better, then you are enrichening the mixture, not leaning it out. There is only one mixture adjustment on each carb, the knurled knob around the jet on the bottom of the carb. The way to adjust the mixture at high speed vs. idle is to change the needles. Turning the knob CCW from the bottom of the carb enrichens the mixture. Check the mixture to be sure that it is set correctly, I use a wide range O2 sensor on a piece of exhaust pipe that I insert in my tailpipe connected to a digital voltmeter.

I would hope they are smog exempt like California due to the age of the car. Are there any special smog exemption criteria to register a 1968 datsun roadster in Arizona?
