They built the whole car around that motor. Don’t expect them to hide it anytime soon ...

HS30-H, the only way to get these details resolved is to go to the source. Peter is affable and accessible through his website, bre2.net. List a few of your questions in an email and request clarification. Approach the matter with respect and curiosity rather than confrontation and you might be surprised where it leads. And please share the results!

There's a detail regarding the crankshaft design that may have had a role in how this saga played out. Perhaps it was the cultural difference that contributed to Nissan acknowledging there was a problem until it became a more public issue? "Later they began to grasp the reason behind the manufacturer’s silence: It was simply a Japanese custom to not recognize direct criticism, which is how they perceived BRE’s reports. Unbeknownst to them, the problems were being worked on, but Nissan could not admit it as that would have indicated someone had made a mistake–an unacceptable cultural error. The team was learning."

As it stands, it’s a pretty good telling of that bit of Datsun history, from a source who’s knowledgeable but also human (and recently turned 82). If you have details that would correct or clarify the information, why not share them?
