Re: The Adventure Begins- My 620 build thread

I am jealous, everyone (at least Randy and Greg) with their new butterscotcheryish colored Datsuns! Lol.

Re: Car and Driver Review of New Z

This is a good review of the new Z - and turn on the closed captions as there are some good jokes in there they added : I will say - out of the cars they have in this video - I would probably choose the Z over all of them. It is Way, way better looking than the Supra, More tunable than the Miata (an...

Re: Car and Driver Review of New Z

Car and Driver once again showing why they aren't much better than Toilet paper. Any review that says things like : "save for a few extra pieces welded on to increase torsional stiffness by a rather tepid 11 percent" Cause 99.9% of people can't exploit the full abilities of the 370z - Lol....

Re: The Adventure Begins- My 620 build thread

Make sure you check the voltage and/or ohms on that Ballast Resistor Randy! They can fail in a way where they don't do any resisting, and can cook the coil (or damage the points if so equipped and the factory wiring uses the ballast to lower the voltage there as well.) I was just helping another Dat...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

. Called Holley tech support, they said send it in, sounds like a component failure. Well, they called me back and said they were sending a new unit rather than repairing. Cool! to minimize RFI and EMI: Holley support is pretty awesome usually. I have installed dozens of their Sniper / Terminator E...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

Paul Taylor came by yesterday to help me make final preparations for taking the Roadster to the Solvang show next weekend. The fuel gauge has never read accurately since I restored the car, and the horn had stopped working. We pulled the sending unity out of the tank to inspect it and the windings ...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

Instead of the tape - I like to use "RectorSeal" paste #5. They also make a tape - but the paste is my goto. It is typically used to seal natural gas fittings and the like. You can find it at the Home Depot in in a yellow tube. Put a little around the fitting, install, and then wipe off th...
