From alvingogi at gmail.com Mon Aug 1 23:15:06 2022 From: alvingogi at gmail.com (Alvin Gogineni) Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 22:15:06 -0700 Subject: [Roadsters] Datsun Roadsters are Driven! Message-ID: On Sunday I attended the Morning Motors gathering in Santa Cruz, Ca, hosted by Driving While Awesome. We had a neat group of cars for the pre-event morning drive. I was tasked with leading us up HWY 9 to the 84/35 junction at Alice's restaurant. It was a blast piloting the '67 2000. HWY 9 was amazingly traffic-free, giving me the time of my life working the roadster through the winding ribbon of newly paved asphalt. Sora felt so good with the new Bilstein shocks. Even with 10year old 185/70 tires I was all smiles with each apex. After the drive I received a few comments worthy of a chuckle: "*Yeah man, I had a blast--loved watching you hang the back end out goin gup 9!"* *"I must say you were wheeling that thing around pretty good"* *"Maybe you shouldn't try and drift a 50-year old roadster"* >From Alice's restaurant we headed down 84 to HWY1 for a relaxing cruise to Santa Cruz. Lots of cool cars to be seen at the Morning Motors event. #doitinadatsun Enjoy my report on zcarblog: http://www.zcarblog.com/2022/08/01/events/events-dwa-morning-motors-cars-coffee-7-31.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <00b201d8a6f4$4af59870$e0e0c950$@comcast.net> I did the GM alt per 311s.org when I first got my '66. While cheap and easy, I wouldn't do it again as it's pretty big and looks totally out of place on a roadster engine. If you were nearby, Paul, I'd give it to you. There are much better options today. If you don't mind a slightly modern look, the 93mm Denso (see 311s.org TechWiki) is nice and small. I'm going w/ a later Nissan-style alt w/ IR (search on "14255") on my '67. You still have to modify the alternator bracket (differently than for the GM alt), but it's 50A-60A, slightly larger than the stock alt and doesn't look out of place.

Erik has been with Z Car Garage for many years also having a owned and built a 560whp Infiniti G35 with us. http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_8002-1-1536x1116.jpeg If you've followed Erik's restoration on 311s ( https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=19067&start=330) you know that the R16 was turned into a beastly Rebello 2150cc stroker with twin-Mikuni induction: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_8011-1536x1152.jpeg Once Erik had the car assembled he wanted to have Rob dyno tune it. It came to us with phh40 Mikuni's but Rob always suggested using 44s. While it made great power, a switch to 44s, optimized A/F ratio and timing yielded 157hp/151tq at the wheels: http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Erik-M-Roadster-40s-vs-44s.jpg http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_8076-e1660248728181-1536x924.png On top of the impressive power, the roadster now has improved driveability. On a test drive with Rob I was blown away at the power delivery...from an R16!!! Of course the sounds of the Solexes are hard to beat, enjoy this video with dyno runs and road testing: https://youtu.be/IKD3JSD5gCg Super happy for Erik, what a sleeper! The restoration is equally rad.
