Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Hello everyone!
I just acquired my first roadster is a 1970 1600 with original everything (At last for what I can see).
Here are some pictures.

Just needs a little buffing seriously, it looks like a solid complete car. Welcome. Mike

Those wheel buff up very nice.

Check out classic datsun motor sports in vista for a local sourse of parts.....also your local nissan dealer can order more than you might guess.

I might also be able to help, if you get in a bind....things are crazy from now through Christmas

Welcome to the site. Car looks good enjoy the ride.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Quick question: the SU carbs need a major tuning. What do you guys recommend.
1) buying a carb kid and doing it myself or
2) Sending then off to a carb shop?
If I do it myself what "carb kid" should I use and what dealer/vendor do you recommend.
Same goes for a carb shop. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I'm not an SU expert but major tuning usually requires something to address leaking thottle shafts as they wear out hole. Unless you are equiped to do something like replacing bushings or installing roller bearings you will likely have to send them off or replace with rebuilt/new. There are other options out there as well to replace SUs all together so compare options and take your time. You may also benefit from having them looked at first to see what kind of condition they really are in.
