Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

After seeing my buddies sweet 67.5 2000 for the last few years I finally pulled the trigger and picked one up for myself! Luckily it was in alot better shape than I was expecting for a 40+ year old car. paint and interior is a bit beat but it runs great. Got comp springs, 23mm sway bar and electric dizzy on the way. See you guys in Solvang!

Jeremy

Very nice. Congrats.

Congrats any more pics? Solexes?

Cool, Solvang is great, especially the first time. Did you reserve a room yet, fills up fast.

Congrats on the purchase!

looks like my 69's twin..
Love the Z06 in the background too

Two of my favorite cars in the same picture. Nice.

thanks guys!
Im actually on a pretty big thrash to get this in reliable driving condition before solvang. When I got it, it ran but leaked out of the manifold gasket so thats getting replaced tomorrow, also going through the SUs. On top of that Ive also got:
Rota RBs 15X7 gunmetal, with 195/55 Dunlops (yeah I know alot of you guys think the Libres are cooler but they were on loan from my buddy for the tow to my place!)
Also, Datsunparts comp springs, 23mm sway bar, KYB GR-2s, EI Dizzy, and just a full tune up and suspension/brake rebuild should be done by next weekend. I should probably start a project thread on it at this point too haha!

and the vette is my work truck

Like the Vette too. I was looking at a black/red 79 for sale this weekend. I was thinking.. How does it feel to jump into a Roadster after driving a Vette? To me it would be a very different experience.

So,,, What would be a good price on a 79 in nice condition. Say mid condition.

also going through the SUs.


Keith Williams will be at Solvang and always finds the time to set up peoples SU carbs. There is no one better to have work on them!

DatsunParts springs are "super comp", not to be confused with "comp". Just for clarity --

Krinkov, you are blasting away at it, congrats and hope to see you in Solvang!
