Back when professionalism ... like Mr. Goodwrench?

 

Nissan USA had a different attitute back in the 60s and 70s, it was all about service and building trust.

[nismo dr]

I work with a couple guys that have been with Nissan errr Datsun since early 70s, one of them still has that technician service record shoved in a box of old literature covered in greasy finger prints. That's awesome he kept that in that condition.

Fond memories ! :) ,,, That's an awesome Service Book BTW

 

Is that MicroMachinery's Goon on the lift ? :)

[myfairlady]

[datzenmike]

I'd settle for just having my dad.

[myfairlady]

It also helped that Datsun used really first class parts then. My 1967 RL411 is still running on 3 of the original Toshiba headlamps! The fourth one was cracked due to an idiot who couldn't back out of a parking slot without looking first. I put in a "good quality" Sylvania replacement. I'm on my third "good" replacement and still the three originals keep on working. My car came with a 12 month, 12,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Try that today.

[nismo dr]

12/12 for everything, including squeaks and rattles, alignments from Nissan still

 

everything else 3/36 - powertrain and trans 5/60

 

hybrid 10/120

do you have your warranty card? I bought a 521 owners manual on ebay and got one, never had seen one before

Thank you for sharing this, Christine.

This is very cool stuff!

 

 

I wonder if this certificate has anything to do with flat-top, tuna can Z carbs?

I have some old California Air Resources Board certs from late '75 for approving older SU carbs in combination with later smog equipment on Z's. That must of been a red-tape hassle for dealers...let alone independently owned shops.

 

Thanks again for posting!

I have my Datsun warranty card, but prefer to service the Datsun myself.

[bonvo]

my dad has been wrenching for 30+ years i have learned alot from him

 

this is him after we cut the back window sill out of shelly holding the tool of destruction

[myfairlady]
