nukeday Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice job on getting it started. Sounds pretty good. From the looks of it, I was expecting much worse.... Quote Link to comment

Noiin Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) i just noticed that! in my PL411 the starter is on the passenger side weird:unsure: oh, no the five will do they should be the same size i was just reading this and just thought i would share Edited February 24, 2009 by Noiin Quote Link to comment

Great for the pickups also. The wiring diagrams can't be beat, wire color coding and often the metric wire gauge is given. Good to know when you want to know which Black with Yellow tracer goes to which accessory. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 glad to hear it run.. Keep up the work hope your brakes work lol thats an adventure in its own :lol::fu: Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 not sure how much specific help theyll be, but C&S auto in santa barbara speak datsun. maybe even have an L16 laying around... Quote Link to comment

67411sss Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Why not put an A series motor in it ? 5 speeds are readily available and they are bulletproof little engines. The L series seem a little tall for the 410/411. As far as brakes go, maybe try and find a 411sss/1600 at a wrecking yard (best of luck with that i used to live in SLO and the wrecking yards there don't even have old cars at all! I'm lucky here in OR the wrecking yard close to me has 2-3 410/411's .If you can get sss brakes the awesome thing is that the caliper and pads are 510 so replacement parts are easily obtainable. That engine sounds pretty solid i n the video, maybe get your hands on some mg twin carbs and make them fit or I have a single sidedraft DCOE manifold that would fit your engine:drool: but no carb . Someone needs to make an EL dizzy for the E/J motor. Best of luck with the project. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Someone needs to make an EL dizzy for the E/J motor. Best of luck with the project. It's been done Check out Mklotz project I picked up an EI and getting ready to fit to E1 motor Quote Link to comment
Noiin Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 :( i just broke up with the GIRLFRIEND OH WELL MORE $$ to put into my BABY "The 11,11,11,11" :love::lol: what did the A series motor come out of? ill look it up right now... Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Why not put an A series motor in it ? 5 speeds are readily available and they are bulletproof little engines. I heard the MG/Sprite racers snap up all the A 5-speeds. Yes? No? Maybe? :mellow: Quote Link to comment

The easiest disc brake swap into the PL411 would be to drop the entire front cross member wheel to wheel and replace the PL411 cross member. Eliminates hub worries etc. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 hi all. im still kinda new to this forum and datsuns aswell just wondering where i can find some good deals on L16 parts. in CA:confused: haha - I noticed your avatar from when it was on craigslist here - I liked how the guy selling it connected the lines of the letters in the word "FREE" on the side. Anyways, welcome - I'm over in AG. Quote Link to comment

67411sss Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 this is an a series 5 speed is it not http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/1054790755.html there is also a roadster 5 speed on portland cr for $400 that is your only 5 speed option for the r16 motor. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 okay now wait a min. The 510 front brakes will not just bolt on to the front of a 411.If they would I would have done it already. The only bolt on swap that Iam aware of is the 411. i have heard of a guy using b210 brakes but have not found any real info on this, I also going to try it lol. If Iam wrong about this then post a link of how its done i/we have spent countless hours researching this. I have talked with many 411 owners and they all say to find 411 with disc brakes. In all this searching I have not seen anything on tring to use a 311 brake set up. ???????I wish i could get it figured out so i could drive my 411 around :lol: and sorry about the gf :eek::fu::lol: look on the bright side now you can work on the car all day with out any disruptions Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 unfortunately the 411sss disc brake is a bit of an orphan! only came out for one year '67, the spindles and rotor are what you really need to do the conversion(correct me if i'm wrong) roadster brakes wont fit and are expensive there is a volvo 4 pot conversion that has been done but i don't know what's involved there.Vindats(tana) would be the best bet for those parts, other than that i did hear of a pl411sss in a wrecking yard , central oregon somewhere some really weird name! as far as 510 brakes go, the only thing you use are the calipers and pads which are what need replacing anyway! What is wrong with your current set up? Quote Link to comment
Noiin Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Don't really know yet.. got to fill and bleed still. Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 this is an a series 5 speed is it nothttp://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/1054790755.html there is also a roadster 5 speed on portland cr for $400 that is your only 5 speed option for the r16 motor. Ad deleted already, so dunno. Noiin has a J13. Will an A-series tranny bolt up to a J engine? unfortunately the 411sss disc brake is a bit of an orphan! only came out for one year '67, the spindles and rotor are what you really need to do the conversion (correct me if i'm wrong) Correct for a mostly remove & replace conversion. Roadster brakes wont fit and are expensive there is a volvo 4 pot conversion that has been done but i don't know what's involved there. I saw Steve's conversion several weeks ago when I picked up parts from him. This was -NOT- a simple mod to accept roadster hubs so he could do the Volvo conversion. Better to wait until Mike Klotz investigates using 280ZX parts (cheaper and easier to find). Vindats(tana) would be the best bet for those parts, other than that i did hear of a pl411sss in a wrecking yard , central oregon somewhere some really weird name! Tana does -NOT- have any SSS disc brake parts. We need names and locations when people spot 410/411's. as far as 510 brakes go, the only thing you use are the calipers and pads which are what need replacing anyway! What is wrong with your current set up? Both Freaky, Noiin and I have PL's with ALL DRUM brakes. We're talking conversion not just replacing pads. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Once I have a spindle in hand, I don't think it will take that long to figure out if it will work or not. I guess Freaky shouldn't have bagged on coming down a month ago!! :) j/k!!! I'm supposed to be getting all the drum spindle stuff from Doug V.....we just haven't been able to hook up yet. He doesn't come over here much and I hate going to the west side of town. If Freaky doesn't come down this weekend or I don't meet up with Doug by tues....I guess I'll see about going to his place to pick them up. Sorry if I'm not exactly motivated.....I don't even own one! But....I am curious to see if the 280 stuff can be used similar to how I did the brakes on my NL. Quote Link to comment
