	Luckly not from underneath, i expect that Marina has trunnions and lever arm shocks , a diff made from cheese and drives like a sack of potatoes. Those Datsun pickups are a hoot to drive, the one I had was like a little rollerskate, it went round roundabouts like a go-cart and stopped great too. Absolutely unburstable. And it was a damn useful thing too.

	Mar 12, 2018 2:10:48 GMT Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top
	GOt a car thats been stood 25 years. Tank looks like brand new from the outside (behind the seat tank) but inside is absolutely covered in sticky brown gloopy treacle that used to be petrol, (have looked with an endoscoppe) tried flushing a few times with petrol but its an expensive and ineffective waste of time. Petrol still coming out brown as soon as the car moves as the petrol shoshes about and takes more treacle. It has already seized 3 inlet valves and bent them as a result. Can't get into the tank via sender or filler much because it has baffles in it. i have hear of some place that pours in some kind of liner in the tank, but that seems more when the tank is rusty, and i am not sure i would trust that anyway. Just need somewhere that has some magic process for cleaning the tank. My last resort would be to cut the top of the tank completely off and scrub the inside and weld it back on again but very time consuming and the slightest pinhole would mean fumes getting into the car.

	crunchy hoses are usually just a layer of crud on the inside. You don;t say what engine your have but i know the old E13 engine was notorious for the head cracking.

	Something you don't come across every day, a full unused can of Rocket WD40, i would guess late 70s or early 80s but maybe someone has a better idea. No postcode/ dialling code. In Oz not ml. In good condition and still has the leaflet inside the cap. Hard to value it , would anyone pay 30 for it? Old fashioned WD40 makes an original Feu Orange look common!

	Bought a tyre for it today and have replaced the one they advised on the MOT. Could use a new number 3 spark plug cable as it has had a repair.

	122k kms, so 76,000 miles or so Maybe 400rpm when cold? YOu need to give it a tiny bit of throttle when starting. It feels like the fast idle thing that is supposed to make if idle higher when it is cold is not working. Could be a gummed up solenoid / air valve or something, Seems to be ok when warm. I've not investigated or tried to adjust the idle, but there is a (vacuum?) switch on the power steering that increases the idle when you operate the steering, that seems to work .

	Unusual little thing Japanese import. (JDM yo) All Wheel Drive Remote central locking Power steering, windows, mirrors, power folding mirrors. 1.5 petrol no rot. auto on column with overdrive ABS air bags CD and cassette player AC( not working) I have just replaced the thermostat so the heater is nice and warm now i have also replaced 3 tyres , battery and both cv boots. Passed MOT today with one advisory which was a tyre worn close to limit. Not perfect by any means, tailgate has a dent , faded paint for example and idle speed is a bit low.
