More tounge-in-cheek than real. It would be a real hassle registering a non-california late model car than it's worth. I've look at my share of S12~14 out here and they are usally too beat up to bother with. Yours, on the other hand, looks like a cream puff. And it's a stick! so many auto's were sold, most you see for sale are automatics.

Dam! I'd buy it if it was 2,600 miles closer

Dude, Remove the reverse switch and fill from there. Save the plug for the next time you drop the tranny or the next time your car is on a rack.

I just did this yesterday. I have a "workmate" style table, that I open enough to pass the hub, to rest the rotor surface against the table top. After removing the four 10mm (14mm wrench) bolts, I cover the rear of the hub with a block of 2X4 and smack it with a 1lb hammer. I keep my other hand under the table to keep the hub from falling. Doing the rears now. Just found a very contaiminated right rear. Luckily, I have another slave cylinder. Not going to install my new Nismo "Green Stuff" shoes, just to have the ruined by a leaky cylinder!

Don't think he got a shot of my roadster. No worries, I got plenty already! :classic: SRL311 10500 would be a 1969, about the middle of the production year. Nissan made more 1969 SRL Roadsters than any other year. So, your chances are good in seeing one.SRL311 10593 White with black interior? Must be a repaint, as white roadsters, as well as the black ones, only came with red interiors. My 1970 roadster is pale yellow (Nissan Code 665). Very few 70 roadsters were made, as the 240Z production scramble dominated the assembly line. SRL311 13136

Car theives SUCK! Send them to that prison in Iraq! Hope she comes back to you in one piece. It took them 10 days to find mine and I'm NOT complianing, but those were 10 very depressing days!

If anyone has an interest, A fellow on the roadster list put up some excellent photos of the 04 Solvang Roadster Show ------Snip-------- Riaz Wrote - I have pics from the 17th annual datsun roadster show 2004. Go to Solvang Show ----end snip--------

Your L24 had two ignition circuits, represented by two wires connected to one post on the coil. One is the Start circuit. This runs 12 volts directly from the ignition switch to the coil, Only when your key is in the start (cranking) position. The other is the Run circuit. This one runs from the ignition switch to the coil, but first, through the ballast resistor, witch drops the voltage to around 6 volts. This operates after you release the key after starting. This arrangement was used on points style cars, to preserve the contact points and extending their service periods. From what you have described, something is afoul with your Start circuit. This has been found as faults in the ignition switch or errors when reconnecting the coil.

If it was blue tape holding the wires back, the car may not have had the pump installed. Blue tape on Nissan wiring harnesses (at least at my experience with 67 ~ 72 cars) indicated a "Do Not Use" status on the assembly line. I have found this tape on Roadsters, 411's and Zcars for the fog light connectors, some underdash connectors and , incidently, my 72 gas tank harness for the fuel pump power. Even though the US market, 72 z was not fitted with an electric pump, the power was routed, ready for installation

Why is this a poll?

An air box like that one is on the top end performance web page Top end Performance - Weber Page So, maybe you don't have to ship fom Japan?

Symon, I hope you're a small man, as the CSP311 was not made for men my size! I was always sure I'd never fit in the driver's seat and got to confirm that fact with Les's car. All the panels on those 500 cars were hand formed, so panels from one car wont fit on another. I think they are a beauty and always lusted after one. Corvair? I always thought it's more like an Opel. Especially, they way the hood extends forward.

Dude a week end ride up Angeles Crest to a Newcome's Ranch Lunch (Mountain air makes the cheese burger taste better). Or Even better, a less crowded, less known sportscar/ motorcycle style mountain road. Know any?

Do you mean to imply that she isn't? I don't know what creed or color, just know she's a bad girl. Only a very bad girl would encourge me to drive home from work today at that speed and fashion. "look at me! I'm a Sports Car!" she howled, from a 2.5 inch exhaust system, at pedestrians and more sedate drivers. Liquid Steely-Dan guitar lead timed shift points and all the time "more" "more". They were on the money with the "Fairlady" badge. They should not have worried about Americans buying the name. Sex sells here as much or more than anywhere. Long legs in Hot pants is my fairlady.

Wow! I have this fellow chasing me around, trying to buy the wheels off my car for years! I wish I could get a hold of him and tell him about these. The story I have is, In 1970, This was the only dealer option wheel availible as Nissan N.A. made a purchase agreement with Pacer Wheels. Then in 71, the 5 slots came availible at a lower cost, with no appretiable difference to the customer. I'm always looking for more info. What I have maybe wrong. My only sources are Les, a book from his collection, and the following, This set was bought from Torrence Datsun in February 1970 fitted to my SRL Roadster. The original steel wheel set was retained, and I still have them, but the funny thing is that they have the z car "D" hubcaps instead of the roadster baby moons. I wish the Original owner kept the dealer paperwork. Heck, he kept everthing else! I've never owned such a well documented car. So, it would seem that this wheel set would be more "correct" on a 69~70 HLS30. They look good and I like them, but at 5.5 wide, they're a bit too skinny for my taste. They can't go back on the roadster. With the Nissan Motorsports suspension, even that skinny, a 0 offest wheel hits the fenders hard. On the Z, I dream of Wats. 16'' panas in gunmetal is second choice.

I reponded to this ad in April 2002 - 1972 240Z $5,500.00 Long Beach 90806 (562) ***-**** Description 1972 DATSUN 240Z, 200 miles on rebuilt long block engine, new clutch, tires, brakes, paint, seats, shocks, carburetor rebuilt & balanced, most rubber new, beautiful CAR, $5500 or best offer, Ralph, 562-***-****, cell 562-***-**** I went down with a roadster buddy and did my inspection and test drive, and told him "It's not a $5,000.00 Z car. I've got $4,000 for it right here". The Deal was Done.

Just thought I'd ask to seek an answer to my personal tool mystery.... How many do a have to buy, till I can find a #2 phillips driver when I need one?

I've grown to like MAC over the years. I've got a bit of everything Snap-On, MATCO, Craftsman, Bonny (old stuff) but the name does not impress me. I went to a second-hand store last year, and found a set of German made offset boxes. They are Awesome! Very thin walled and light. So don't limit yourself to one source.

Merlin came to visit last month. He came down from B.C. to see us at Solvang and the MSA show. Shot a bunch of photos, got sunburned - Just what we Californians want our Canadian vistors to do - come down, see the sights, spend their money, and go homeLOL He's a regular contributor to the ClassicDatsunClub and VintageDatsunTrucks Yahoo Groups as well as the Datsun Roadster Mailing list.
