New Zealand Datsun Club

A little while back I found a radio out of a slightly newer Datsun on Trademe. Looked like the older ones but also has an FM band. It has the 5 preset buttons under the dial, 3 for AM band and 2 for FM. Virtually any of the old "twin shaft mount" radios will fit but natuarly one with Datsu...

and the good news is...............nah there is no good news. I am embarrassed to be on the same Island.

Nothing is conclusive but add to the list
flat top carbs and newer inlet manifold,
door cards.
holes in firewall for brake booster hose mount
radio aerial on the divers A pillar.
A very nice car and after 42 years old who knows but I would look very closely

I may have one but will be out of town till Saturday ( i have a complete L20e ex R30 but not sure of its condition.)

Cheers Andrew

Bruce Chisholm did the last two rebuilds on my L18 race motor. Ross pistons, offset ground crank, twin plate clutch etc I have been very happy with everything. Bruce and Rodney at Roskilda in Palmy did the dyno tune. If Bruce is not available I am sure Rodney could sort it out.

Good luck Andrew

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvePhfdrun4 Wonder why they need the 2nd set of injectors? Wow now that's an L18 to die for. I had wondered how to use a KA24 head and get good compression with a smaller motor under it. I wonder if they use the 2nd set of injectors to get better mixture control at lo...

love how he quotes it as the only one in NZ. Yes I also have one that is registered as 69, as it was sold new after 1 Jan but is actually a 68 model complete with factory tinted windows, correct chassis number below 40,000 stamped in firewall, sss servo syncho gearbox etc. We will watch with intere...

These where dished pistons, however I have used that cam with flat top pistons. There are so many variables when it comes to valve to piston clearance. ie how much the head is planned the valve seat level the camshaft profile, the stroke and conrod length. The other critical feature sometimes overlo...

My spare race motor is a L20B with L28 pistons. I have used this with a cam that gives over 1/2 inch of valve lift with no clearance problems. I am sure the same would work in a L18.

Good luck Andrew
