mikec4193 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi Everyone I get on here and there seems to be a lingo here that I am not to familiar with. Is there a spot on here where the Datsun lingo is deciphered for us not so familiar with it? Thanks in advance Mikec Quote Link to comment

G-Duax Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Goon - station wagon Dime - 510 Datsun Patina - rust - corrosion, as in I'm too damn lazy / cheap to paint / clean up anything. Also goes a along with Rat Rod, hence Ratsun. 2 Quote Link to comment

mainer311 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Ran when parked = ran like shit in 1992 so I stopped driving it That was optimistic. More like: "Ran like shit in 1992. Spark plugs were removed shortly thereafter and the cylinders are now home to a nice family of mice. Oil pan removed last decade to put on my other Datsun."

Gato, we are bred tough enough to see what other countries see as hindrances to our lifestyle as merely things to be sneered at and ignored. Besides, with a good stick you can overcome ANY obstacle. Now, to get thread back on track. 1600: what we call a 510 180B: what we call a 610 200B: what we call a 710 POS: piece of shit Fosters: shit beer we sell to Murica because some of the population thinks it tastes good 1 Quote Link to comment

Datsun originally referred the "1600" designation to the RL411 with the modified roadster engine ! I know, I have a RL411 and the parts book ! This causes a lot of confusion when searching Datsun / Nissan parts lists . Be sure to include the model year and you just MIGHT get the right year and part number . Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi Mike. Valid point you make as I have also seen a roadster referred to as a Datsun 1600. The 510/1600 in Australia has a front fender badge that says "Datsun 1600" Quote Link to comment
