Your dad will let you come by, I am sure, he knows we, the Datsun people, are cool. I met your dad at JCCS, he is a cool person.

 

Bring him around too, I remember he was enjoying the show at JCCS.

 

Do not make any changes to your car if that could hinder your attendance. Come on and talk to the Datsun guys, you might get some insight and your ignition project might get some new ideas.

 

See ya there Jbird.!!!:)

Hi.

 

What about next Sunday, the 15th???

 

We can meet there from 9am till 11 or 12:00

 

At Sears' parking lot, or any other place. What I like of Sears is that the lot is so large that we can have a nice meeting without crowding a parking lot. A friend of mine told me we could also meet, later on, for an evening meeting. We can plan something like that once we meet on a Sunday.

 

Enjoy your weekend guys.

That's an 80 mile drive for me, about an hour and a half each way. I'll have to pass this time.

 

That is cool HP11. Next time. Let's see how we do this time around, I am thinking about telling a friend of mine, New Yorker Italian Pizza parlor owner to host Datsun meets. He has a cool Pizza place, food, refreshments, and a nice large parking.

 

Common Datsuners. I will try to locate a couple guys I know in the area, one is a 620 guy, the other is a 510 wagon guy. Hopefully they can join us too.

 

How good can it get!!! So far Datsuns 810's, 710's, 1200's, 610's are in the house. Hopefully we will have some more cool Datsuns like B210s, 200SX's, 620's, 411's, F10's, 521's, 320's, Pulsars, 210's, Stanzas, 510's, Z's........cool.

Hey, I know I'm might be posting something in the wrong spot here, but since there has been mention of 810s, I noticed the 2 door 810 is still listed on Boise, ID CL. He mentions it needing a fuel pump. Is this a mechanical pump on the engine, or electric in the tank? I'm imagining some cool Ratsun guy flying to Boise with a carry-on bag of tools and a pump, and driving the car home. How hard could it be?

It's an electrical pump just ahead of the tank on the passenger side. Same pump used by 75-78 280Zs, 79-83 non turbo ZXs, and 80-84 RWD Maximas. I'd need more info from the owner, however, because there are other things in the system that can cause the fuel pump not to operate. Also, if it is a bad fuel pump, the OEM pump or a Bosch is the only way to go. More expensive than aftermarket but most aftermarket fuel pumps that the auto parts stores sell are junk. Edited by HP11

Thanks for clearing that up for me. The ad says "A pump costs $130 at Auto Zone.", and I thought that seemed really high for a mechanical pump. But in-tank electrical didn't sound quite right for that year car. I didn't think of an external electrical pump. I imagine there are one or more relays controlling the pump too, so anyone's guess what all is really wrong.

So new idea - cool Ratsun guy flies to Boise, rents a truck and a tow dolly, and drives home. And the $500 810 gets more and more expensive. Oh well. I hope some spud farmer down there doesn't buy it and put a Chev V8 in.

It appears to be missing some difficult to find parts like the hood molding, hood ornament, the air intake tube, plus it's an automatic trans. There's damage to the passenger side front fender. Can't tell much else from that low res picture. To me, the car might make a good parts car. I paid $75 in 2003 for the one I used as a parts car and it actually ran though I had it towed home because the tires were bad. It looked about as rough as this one. I paid $500 in 2003 for the one I still have and did drive it home. Basically all it needed was paint.
