Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Hello everyone!

As my title suggests, I'm new to the roadster scene. I just picked up a 68 SPL last night. I know I have a LOT to learn, so I came to the place that just about every other forum points to for roadster info.

I have a 77 280z 2+2 to keep my roadster company.
I had a 72 510 wagon with a KA24DE swap...but sold

pics...because everyone loves pics:





I'm looking for gauges (mine work but glass is messed up), hard top or soft top in good condition and glove box insert (mine is just a hole when you open the door).

Welcome Goki there is loads you will learn from the site. Btw nice looking roadster. What areyour plans for the car?

Don't forget to put your location in your profile.

i'll add location in a sec....
(from Fullerton, CA USA)

plans...not entirely sure yet. Just pretty it up for now. The engine was rebuilt before I got it and has a 5sp manual transmission.
Runs really well.

I need interior bits and a hardtop or a good condition soft top.

Couldnt drive it today...raining + bad top = soggy miserable driver

haha

Nice looking Roadster! I have gauges if you are interested in them.

Welcome, that's a good solid base to start with.
Looking forward to more pictures of your updates.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Whats messed up on the lenses? Mine were messed up too. I had a half bottle of "headlite lense restore" polish laying around, and gave them a few, (actually many) orbital swipes and now they look pretty good, even at night.

i love that blue color. nice looking roadster and welcome to our site.

I think I saw your '72 on Craigslist, maybe?

I'll take pics tomorrow. The pics I showed were from the seller's ad.

It's dark when I get outta work so my pics would be crap anyways.

Saturday...I'll snap some pics and show you guys why I need gauges and a better top.

THANKS!

I wasnt feelin' the blue when I got it...but people have complimented it.

...I guess it's growing on me.

I'm thinking of plastidipping it to a different color (a kit costs about $300). ...and I mess up or don't like it and want to go back to the blue, I can literally just peel it all off

Actually, I never posted the GOON on craigslist....but there were (and still are) a few 510 wagons on craigslist.

Here's an article on my Z and 510:

510 is gone and the Z had a facelift recently and now looks like this:

^ SWEET

question...

I just found out that my brake lights work fine, but when the headlights are on, the brake lights don't work.

Any clue where to start looking?

I apologize on being a total noob. :<

oh happy day! I scored a set of gauges off ebay!
