  1. Went on a job interview - the older woman who was interviewing me saw my Datsun tie-tack - she used to teach mechanic lessons and drive a 510. I hope that means I got the job.

      You're in. I once got a job cause the lady I interviewed with's daughter was going to school for design. I had just graduated.

      A friend gave me the pin a long time ago - she was my brother's ex.

      Brother: "...but she never gave me any gifts!" Me: "you drive a Volvo."

      Got a job offer today - THANKS DATSUN!

      710 - you're getting a new coat of paint.

  2. Whoever got to the B210 at the Newark wrecking yard and took the mirrors and stuff, I totally got the screwdriver you left behind. It's pretty cool.

      I'm afraid my camera would explode if I tried to photograph it. It is glorious.

       

  3. Datsun ownership has prepared me to assemble IKEA furniture. I know I have the metric lockwashers to make it so this junk doesn't rattle apart.

      My bed rattled apart. Mattresses on the floor FTW.

  4. The '73 240Z at the pick-n-pull still had its hazard switch. Yay! ...though someone had already taken the knob. Rats.

  5. My girlfriend also though that spending a Saturday morning at the junkyard sounded relaxing. She's a keeper.

  6. Just saw an old person driving a bone-stock 1200 coupe to the grocery store. I think I'm going to like the west coast.

      better start packing a camera and post in sightings. Hope you enjoy your stay.

  7. Removed and re-installed the 710's transmission in a gas station parking lot... it lives!

  8. Anyone in the chicago area with 280zx transmission parts? I'm near Gary, and something i'm my throwout bearing system has crapped out.

  9. Anyone have an a/c system for a 710? the start of my cross-country trip has me thinking about adding some coldness to the car.

      I think I'll be getting to SF a few days after Canby ends! (...if only it was the SECOND weekend in June...)

      Thanks for the offer RedBanner - that'll be the perfect excuse for a trip up the PCH. The 710 needs a bumper sticker from Confusion Hill Gravity House.

      if your going to go pick it up from redbanner let me know maybe i can meet ya somewhere and snap some pics

  10. Looks like the Datsun will be getting to San Francisco at about the same time that Canby is ending. Oh, if only it were happening the THIRD weekend in June.

  11. Looks like the 710 is going on another cross-country trip in early June, back to the Bay Area. This time my Dad is coming along for the ride - he's almost 65 and has never made the coast-to-coast trip.

      When does Canby happen? I don't see it on the website calendar.

  12. I'm moving to the Bay Area in a month and a half... maybe I will make it to Canby this year. There is going to be one of those, right?

      Not your fault, I am assuming. Did you get the clown's information? Go to your local Nissan dealer and ask their body shop. Stick it to the idiot!

      I've discussed this in every hitch install shop in six states. The consensus is that due to busted shins, these vehicles are frequently keyed. Serves them right!

  14. While watching a Japanese movie from 1981, I saw a 510 crash into a first-generation Celica. Tragedy.

  15. I didn't want to give my phone number when I bought a fan belt at Autozone, so I told them my number is "555-1212." The clerk told me that in their database, that number belongs to John Wayne, and he drives an '86 Camaro.

  16. NAPA says the closest exhaust flange gasket is in Spokane. He says: "Spokane, Portland, lots of them over there." Pacific Northwest - stop bogarting all of the gaskets.

      I have been applying to jobs out west for the past few weeks - I should be out there by May at the latest!

  17. I just moved the Datsun into a parking spot that is the farthest from houses and trees that might fall onto it.

  18. This matchbox distributor is living up o the hype, so far.

      The car came with a Petronix, & I'd been using it that way for the past year-and-a-half - finally got around to swapping the parts and it idles much better!

  19. After spending all summer in storage, the 710 started right up. Now it's time to address a hundred little things before driving up to Ottawa.

  20. ...just handed in my graduate thesis. Now I'll finally have some free time to work on the 710!
