Snap the hook around the sway bar on the outside of the support tower. Tow slowly. For non emergency stops let the roadster driver apply the brakes and stop both vehicles. That prevents running over the strap. It also keeps tension on the strap so that when you start out again the tow vehicle does not jerk the roadster. Bob ---- Dewey Hahlbohm wrote: When transporting my roadster by trailer, I run the chain around the front crossmember. Works well when the chain and chain binder is then secured to the trailer. I do not know if towing would cause the chain to rub the front valence, it might. Another probably better option is a nylon tow strap also secured around the front cross member.

Works like a charm and I'm able to use foam of my choice. I've been told that foam suppliers will cut cushions for you if your old ones are in good enough shape to copy. It seems like I always want to make a change (firmer bolsters for example or different foam density for the back and the seat) and it's easy to do. Custom upholstery shops often use a very firm foam for the core and then cover the core with a softer foam so it's nice and plush. Once you've whittled the foam to rough shape, a 40 grit sanding disk will smooth any sharp edges. The foam tends to confom to the upholstery so it doesn't have to be perfect. You can make the seat from a simple rectangle, then whittle separate bolsters and contact cement the bolsters to the seat foam. Once the seat is assembled, the cushions stay in place very well so the glue only has to hold together for assembly (you don't need much). . If you break down the seat cushion into simple shapes, you'll see it would be pretty easy. Of course, modern factory seat foams are cast but you can do a very nice job on the simple roadster seats.

If so ,these Where Not BRE wheels ,but were made by American Racing Wheels (ARE) . The Wheels they used where Only made in 14x 7 inch's . Since your on the Roadster Forum ,I would assume that you are possibly involved with a Racing project ,as this wheel size will not fit a stock body car .The Other wheels also made by American Racing Wheel used on a lot of Z cars ,Roadsters, and Datsun 510's was called the "Libra" and it was made in 14"x 5.5 ,14' x 7 ,13x 5" ,and 13x7" .The 13x7" were used on the BRE 2.5 Trans Am 510 .The Difference in the Wheel used in the BRE C Production Z cars wheels ,if I remember ,is that those may have been Real Mags ..Those are VERY RARE and expensive ,if you even can find a set .I have looked for years and have never been able to get Anybody that has a set they use ,part with them .There is now a NEW Reproduction wheel made of the Libras ,if that is what you want ,as this was another Very popular Wheel used both on the Street and Race track . Originals of them are more plentiful ,and have commanded reasonable prices in the Used market . BTW ,Some of the MG -B's Raced in the 70's had the Early Race wheels also .,same bolt pattern .

Just not driving it much, plus once we get our new house finished and we moved I wonbt have inside storage for some time. Ibd prefer to pass it on to someone to enjoy and take care of rather than let it sit and deteriorate. Good to very good condition. Runs good and gets decent mileage. Distributor is a Gary Boone breakerless conversion. Custom 2 1/4 inch exhaust installed last spring. The car is currently silver, but has been painted a couple of times. Ibm not sure about the original color. The body is solid with a couple of small rust spots at the rear wheel wells. The interior is basically bare, but very clean. The seats are good although the outside bolster on the driverbs seat is worn through. I have a new carpet kit (not yet installed) and most of the interior trim panels. A new canvas top was professionally installed last spring and there's a new canvas tonneau. Wheels are 15 x 6 PanaSports with virtually new Generals. Ibm pretty sure the car has comp springs. Shocks are KYB Gas Adjust. Therebs a trunk mounted Optima battery. The electrics are in good shape. The car took 2nd place in the Classic Datsun/Nissan class at the Texas Z Nationals in San Antonio last year. There are a bunch of additional bits including an extra 5-speed, two U-20 heads, the OEM steel wheels with Semperits (decent shape but indeterminate age) and dog dish wheel covers, a couple of extra sway bars, a roll bar, a CDM/BRE Spook and miscellaneous other pieces. Tons of documentation including the Motorbooks Factory Service Manual and the Scott Sheeler Roadster 2 book set plus much more. I also have a couple of 4' x 6' laminated color wiring diagrams. One of the stock '70 electrical system, the other from an earlier year that includes details on several of the more common electrical system upgrades. The car is a good, fun driver now (in more moderate climates!), and definitely a solid foundation for a frame off/update if desired. I dropped a picture of the car into the intro slide show on my photo site . Car is in Central Texas, roughly 75 miles NE of Austin Asking price is $7500 Ron ________________________________________ 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 Sun Jul 4 21:00:05 2010 From: "Graeme" To: "'peter harrison'" , "'datsun'" Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 11:31:30 +0930 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Brake Shoe "Direction" Assuming you have a 311: - [Roadsters] Brake Shoe "Direction" Should BOTH the square holes be at the bottom, or should they be diagonally opposite?

Also, is anyone seeing the "new gas" (high alcohol content) causing rapid deterioration in fuel system gaskets?

There have been some rather ordinary replacement needle/seat sets around that don't have the spring-loaded needle stem. These don't seem to have much of a life - hope you don't have them. If you have a replacement needle and seat, I'd give that a try, or, swap them between the carbs to find out if the problem shifts too. Sometimes the smallest piece of crud that's almost invisible can cause poor sealing and then overflow and it can be a bit difficult to dislodge the culprit. Compressed air can work but not always - a clear insect wing part about 1mm square gave me the same symptoms. No idea how it got past the filters or how long it had been in the system before causing a problem. If you take off the jet cover, you can check the fuel level - it is meant to be 20mm above the centre of the main bore when the fuel pressure is about 3.5 psi. As long as it's not above the top of the venturi, it's probably pretty close. Adjustment is by selecting seat washers of appropriate thickness. My guess - the needle is the problem. (There is another source of rich running caused by a repairable issue in the internal start circuit of the old-style carbs, but that doesn't result in overflow) Regards, Eric in Townsville On 7/07/2010 2:15 AM, RWM wrote: > From out of the blue I am experiencing fuel system issues.

I had set the timing, re- balanced the carbs, and fixed the fuel mixture**. After this, it seemed to be running well pulling strong through all the gears with no ping or misses. Then, at about 75 or 80 mph, it started to do the hesitation/miss thing again it was doing last week (when I was about half way home from MidOhio -- I posted about this as you might remember). Based on what I had read, I figured it was running lean so I pulled off the road (a few times--this was last Sunday) and each during each stop slowly adjusted the knobs and ended up just under a quarter turn to richen the mixture. After the first and subsequent stops, it was again spitting/bucking/running rough; too rich now I assume. I went home, re-set the fuel mixture back to where it was above**. I was still not able to get the spitting and bucking to stop. At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my head, as well as outside so I parked the car. This is where I am at and have not looked at the car since last Sunday.

I've heard that at one time there were problems with their carbs if they installed Grose-Jet fuel float valves (on Datsun Roadsters, anyway). Apparently, they can and have caused the very symptoms you describe, due to some kind of vibration problem. I have not ever used Z-Therapy carbs or Grose-Jet valves, but I thought I'd pass this on. It might be worth checking out. The Grose-Jet valve uses a ball, looks like a stainless steel BB. You'll know right away if you check it.

Tim, The part in question is another capacitor (condenser) used as a noise suppression device (shunts high frequency noise on the ignition circuit to ground)- as someone said, to take noise off the radio circuit. Car should run fine without one. Could run poorly (or not at all) if it is degraded or shorted. To test it, you need an old analog ohm meter (not digital), set it on the lowest ohm setting and when you measure between the lead and the case, it should look like a short circuit immediately and then charge up to a high ohm value. Also, suggest testing with the device hot. Easier just to disconnect it, especially if you suspect that it is bad Joe -----Original Message----- From: datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:datsun-roadsters-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Tim Sent: Saturday, July 10, 2010 12:08 PM To: datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net; jover4x4@aol.com Subject: Re: [Roadsters] maybe I am not naming this part correctly???

I had set the timing, re- balanced the carbs, and fixed the fuel mixture**. After this, it seemed to be running well pulling strong through all the gears with no ping or misses. Then, at about 75 or 80 mph, it started to do the hesitation/miss thing again it was doing last week (when I was about half way home from MidOhio -- I posted about this as you might remember). Based on what I had read, I figured it was running lean so I pulled off the road (a few times--this was last Sunday) and each during each stop slowly adjusted the knobs and ended up just under a quarter turn to richen the mixture. After the first and subsequent stops, it was again spitting/bucking/running rough; too rich now I assume. I went home, re-set the fuel mixture back to where it was above**. I was still not able to get the spitting and bucking to stop. At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my head, as well as outside so I parked the car. This is where I am at and have not looked at the car since last Sunday. When I had checked/"fixed" the timing last week while in Indiana, I do not think I had done it right: The timing light I was lent was of the fancy variety with a setting knob that I must have not used correctly. When I used my light at home, the timing was up over 30 degrees of advance. I am now set at 16 degrees on a de-smogged 70 1600 running a GB EI dizzy. Any thoughts please.

Any Car Audio shop will have these if you want to fit a new device. However they are usually only fitted to the coil with the Kettering [points] type ignition. You should have a suppressor fitted to the Alternator output terminal as well. This device will stop brush noise and whine from interfering with your car HI-FI. If you have no HI-FI then you have no requirement ; ) Your high RPM miss may very well be the coil. See if you can beg, borrow or steal one just for testing. "Yes, thanks.

But even if you get the mixture perfect for 4500 feet elevation, you'll still have less air density available, around 15% less than sea level, so you'll only be able to get 85% of the power at sea level. I feel your pain, because I live at 6200 feet, so I lose 20% of full power at sea level, verified by my MAP sensor in my ECU for my EFI U20. The only way to get it back is more air density which requires forced induction (turbocharging or supercharging).

IIRC, Champions were much more readily available (at least in north Texas) in the late '60s/early '70s. These days I find it the reverse, plus NGK were/are the OEM plug. I remember running Champions in our 510s, even in Hawaii, in the 70s, but I'd usually run a couple of numbers colder for autocrossing and what road racing we did. I'd follow the same practice today, but probably with NGKs .

Chas, You can put either a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission behind the SR20-series engine, and there is an automatic version as well. We have done all three into roadsters. 5-speed: Best fit for a roadster-- the shift lever comes through the 1600 shifter hole, the 5-speed hole will need to be modified (easy). There are two versions, a non-turbo (.85 overdrive) and turbo (.75 overdrive). With the dust shield removed, the 4-speed roadster driveshaft's yoke matches the SR20 gear box. 6-speed: A great driver's transmission as it adds an extra gear between 1-5th gear. 6-gear is an .75 overdrive. You will need to modify the X-frame and the transmission tunnel on the right side as the transmission is physically wider and 10mm longer than the 5-speed. The 6-speed uses a unique yoke on the driveshaft (though it is the same as a US-spec 240SX automatic) Automatic: The automatic requires extensive modifications to the X-frame (we totally rebuild it) and the same modifications to the right side of the transmission tunnel. I would not recommend this modification, but if you are after a cruiser, it might suit your needs. If you have specific questions, or want more info, feel free to visit us at www.spriso.com for SR20 fitment kits into roadster chassis, and other conversion parts.

The 5 speeds seem to be more common over here but I know Ted Hedman has a 6 speed in his 510. I'm guessing that Michael Spreadbury would have info on the ratios. Michael also sells a motor mount kit to simplify the swap considerably. If I was going to keep the Roadster I probably do the SR20 swap and sell the U-20, extra heads and the two 5-speeds I have. Makes a real nice package. I'll almost certainly do an SR swap into one of my 510s.

If you don't need the heater, there is no problem looping the coolant from the manifold to the return pipe. As long as the coolant can circulate through the Inlet manifold to reduce the risk of icing up, all should be well. 2. Most modern thermostats incorporate a burp valve to allow air trapped on the engine side of the thermostat to bleed up into the top radiator tank. It is a 2-3mm hole with a small "jiggle Valve" assembled in the hole. If your thermo. doesn't have this valve you can simply bore a 3mm hole in the themo. to do the same thing. You can see the little brass jiggle valve in this pic. Just orient the valve to the highest part of the housing, usually the very front. "1.

My name is Jeff Douglas and I was a member of this list a number of years ago. When I was last subscribed I was living in Spokane, WA. and had aspirations of rebuilding my '68 1600. Life got in the way back then and I never even really got the rebuild started. Long story short, I've moved across the country to North Carolina, my life is a little less hectic, and I've been re-bitten by the Roadster bug. So, here I am again. While I'm not to the point of wanting to tear the car completely apart (yet), I have been doing some work to get my Roadster back into being a somewhat reliable driver. One thing that I knew needed work was the radiator, so I pulled it and will have a local shop give it a going over. Before it goes back into the car, however, I need to replace the lower hose. I read on "Tom's Roadster Page" (www.datsun2000.com) that Nissan part B1503-A3303 will fit a 1600, but the site doesn't specify a model year. I was under the impression that the lower hoses changed between '68 and '69. Does anyone know if B1503-A3303 will fit a '68? Thanks for the help. I learned a ton from this group last time I was a member here, so I look forward to hanging around a little longer this time and getting to know all of you.

At least not in the past. That's why I asked about the current situation, of which I have no familiarity. However, back in the 60s and 70s, just about everybody with imported cars, plus plenty of American cars too used Champion. Even many Datsun dealers back then did not stock NGK. I tend to think that back then there weren't any mass production car manufacturers designing engines around any particular plug, usually the other way around, designing engines to use off the shelf parts. And when it came to racing plugs, there wasn't much choice other than Champion, because of the breath of their product line. The most common street plugs for roadsters back then were Champion N5 or colder N3, the extended tip versions were N9Y & N6Y.There were radio resistor versions too. For racing I & just about everybody else use the recessed electrode N58R or N60R which were very prone to fouling if not careful. Later we switched to the N2G which had a small platinum electrode and was much more forgiving. BTW, I took all my racing plug recommendations from Sharp. Sorry for the senior reminiscing.

That is the plug the engine was designed around. The equivalent plug by a different company is never quite the same. I've talked to several folks who just didn't have good luck with Bosh or Champions in Japanese cars and bikes.

Not sure how serious I want to get into changing it over - but it might be worth getting them just in case I lean that way :) As it is, I have a long ways to go before it will matter. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what price those would fetch in a "need rebuild" condition, as I only started doing this resto and I'm still a bit new to the Roadster scene... FWIW, I'm in Grass Valley, CA (50 miles northeast of Sacramento) - a trip to Fremont would be a little far, but I might be able to justify it if you need someone to pick stuff up directly. - Urias ________________________________________ 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 Jul 19 15:31:55 2010 From: Urias McCullough To: Mtbdavid2@aol.com Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:21:59 -0700 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Fwd: tons of 2L roadster parts for sale Thanks for forwarding back to the list (I wasn't sure if you wanted off list requests).

I went over to 311s.org as Linda suggested, and between it looks like they've got the info I need. For what it's worth, I called my Nissan delear about part #B1503-A3303. It's NLA, so my question was sort of moot anyway. One question. Dave said "be sure to put a drain plug in the radiator". Sorry for being a noob, but do you mean another drain besides the drain & stopcock that's already there? That's one of the problem issues with my rad. The stopcock stops nothing. Greg, your name is really familiar. Aren't you a WSU guy? If we didn't meet in person, then I'm sure we've had email conversations in the past. I used to work at North By Northwest Productions right across the river from downtown. Lived near Garland. There was a shop out in the valley that worked on my car a couple of times. Can't remember the garage's name off the top of my head, but they always had MG's out there. I'll dig in my files and find a receipt and/or business card and get back to you on it. Thanks again.

It's a fun learning exercise though. But spend your time on better brakes. :) I tried a small Addco rear swap bar 20 years ago. I remade the install hardware and fit it between the frame and the springs (hoop over the drive line). It was a pretty package that indeed made the rear end step out more than anyone wants. It didn't go to waste though. I installed it on the rear of my L20B/SUs/SSS 510 wagon to complement the bigger front bar, a set of stiff KYB shocks & solid adjustable front A-arm bushings made it handle like it was on rails. I wish I hadn't sold that car. It just needed everything else.

I'm sitting here looking at the petcock from the radiator of my 1600, which stops zero fluid. I'm comparing it to one that I got from the parts store (for future reference, HELP! Part #61114 is too small for a '68 1600) and the biggest difference is that the original brass petcock has got no rubber o-ring on it all all. It looks as if it might have a place for one at the end of the threads, but it sure doesn't have any sign of ever having one on it. So, actually 3 questions... 1. Did the original brass petcocks ever have rubber on them? 2. If not, how did they keep fluids in the radiator? Thread to thread certainly isn't working in my case. 3. If they did originally have an o-ring, and mine came off inside the rad, what kind of issues will that cause? Thanks for indulging me.

I have a variable +/- 6 degree sproket that I experimented with. Retarding seem to instantly worsen performance (lower compression) . From what i belived was correct cam timing, as I advance the timing up to 6 degress, my previously lower compression readings of 160 psi rose uniformly. At +6 dgress, the compression had risen to 180. I got brave and replaced the adjustable sprocket with my orignal sprocket advanced 1 full tooth (15 degrees i believe with 1 tooth on 24 tooth sprocket). I confirmed that ther was no valve contact and tested the compression again. To my pleasant surprise, the compresson came all the way up to 195 (again unform). Looking at the cam with #1 on TDC, the cam now appears oriented on #1 more like 11/3 instead of 10/2. I am assuming that the higher compression means that the cam timing is now more correct. The engine seems to have more power as it should. I am just a bit spooked by the cam position and I dont want to damage the engine otherwise. Can anyone tell me if it is possible that the compression can be significantly higher if the cam is incorrectly advaned? I have not been able to find specified normal compression readings for a U20, but I know that a strong engine is typically around 200. ____________________________________________________________ Obama Urges Homeowners to Refinance If you owe under $729k you probably qualify for Obama's Refi Program http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3241/4c4f4fb94982f463aa4st05duc ________________________________________ 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 Jul 27 15:52:13 2010 From: Eddie To: Pete Peters Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:52:08 -0700 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Dropping Oil Pressure at idle The only thing that I think could cause the alternator to affect the oil pressure at idle would be if the NEW alternator has more "drag" on the engine...

Have you measured the voltage output of the alternator at idle yet? Preferably you should be getting ~12-14v I would guess... if less perhaps you're not getting a good spark at idle. ________________________________________ 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 Wed Jul 28 16:38:02 2010 From: Jeff Douglas To: Roadster List Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:29:19 -0400 Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Craigslist - Cleveland/Akron Wow.

Lights would be dim at idle if the alternator cuts out, but the engine should not be affected. And, the alternator swap did not cause any problems with oil pressure unless you poured some sand into the motor while you were at it. I don't think the stalling is at all related to the drop in oil pressure. And, if the oil pressure comes right up when to raise the rpm a bit, I wouldn't worry about low oil pressure at idle, as I said in my original note.

Also check with Dean Apostal at datsunparts.com. Both are very knowledgeable, and should be able to direct you if they don't do the repairs themselves. You might check 311s.org to see if the topic is covered there.

She got a gift certificate for me to take the Skip Barber 1-Day Racing School for my Christmas present. Well, Thursday was the day at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. I can't stop smiling. My face hurts so bad, but I just can't stop. That was seriously the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. Better than some of the times I had with my clothes off... (That's what she said. Baa Bum Bumm) We spent an hour or so in the classroom, then out to the track. The first half of the day was driving the MX-5, and after lunch we were driving the open wheel Formula car. We were sharing the track with a corporate event with Car&Driver and some other publications. The upside was this meant we got to use the full RA course. The last session of the day was the full RA course, on our own in the Formula car. Top speed is about 125mph, but with your butt 2 inches off the ground, it feels like 200. Of course, boys will be boys and I spun out in turn 6 going in a little hot my first lap. I would love to do the 3 Day Racing School, but then I have to decide whether to drive the MX-5 or the Formula car. Decisions, decisions, decisions... If you ever get the chance, you need to do this. I'll post some photos and some in-car video once I get them.
