WOW WHAT AN UGLY PILE OF GARBAGE

YOU * CAN’T * POLISH * A * DATSUN

Olds, did a Datsun rape you as a child or something? Or was it your uncle, who smoked and drove a 240Z? And instead of hating your uncle, you chose to hate Datsun?

You CAN polish a Datsun, but it still looks like a Datsun, only now it’s shiny.

And in Soviet Russia, Dastun polishes YOU!!

Because I fix cars for a living and Nissans and Infinitis are the worst cars to work on.

“Because I fix cars for a living and Nissans and Infinitis are the worst cars to work on.”

That mean you are not good enough to be a mechanic.

What’s up with all this Datsun crap you’ve been talking about, Olds307? I never really liked Datsun, but they made a pretty cool (rustbucket later on…) pick up and some great sports cars for the time. But, I’m not gonna argue, your definitely just a troll trying to emulate the success tripleonefive and others have made on here causing total chaos and destruction….

I wish all these future technology developers (hydrogen, fuel cell, etc..) would just take a step back for a moment, and give up something simple instead of going with ridiculously complex crap.

There are actually some pretty neat hydrogen systems out there atm, that inject about 10% hydrogen into your fuel system. It uses power generated from the alternator to turn water into hydrogen in the back of the vehicle, in a relatively small system. Since your alternators already generating plenty of extra power, it doesn’t sap fuel economy from the petrol/diesel engine that much, so you end up with something simple that aids fuel economy around 10-20%. Go look back at the Ronn Motors article, I had a link or two there about that sorta stuff. It’s not science fiction, it’s just this ridiculous, complicated crap simplified as far as possible so it can be used TODAY.

OLDS get a real job

^ oh like you flippin burgers at mcdonalds

elviososa: it means that nissans are crap. the simplest things they make a pain in the ass. belts—– easiest thing to do on a GM, Ford, or even a HONDA—– on a simple 4 cylinder NISSAN its a PAIN in the ASS…. or half the time you go to take the distrib. cap off an older Sentra…. the screw heads just twist right off….. NO EXCUSE for that, the cars are CRAP.

Stop defending a giant foreign global corporation as if it was your family business!

Olds you may be correct about the simple things on a Nissan. How about the rear end and tranny’s blowing like a porn star on my old CTS-V and everyone elses for that matter? I would rather have the screw head break. Oh wait GM just told the customer that it was always their fault for driving the cts-v to hard so that they didnt have to fix them.

I don’t know about that…. I won’t be seeing those cars until the warranty expires.

Olds307….because GM = Garbage Motor,so whatever the crap you through into the GM, it works.

^umm right. Garbage? Why does my 27 year old General Motors product still run and look great, while any Japanese product from the 80s has long since rusted away?

My dad had a ‘76 280Z, and he was broadsided in it back in 1990. The insurance company claimed it as “totaled”, and it sat in his garage for 8 years. In 1998, I took it an rebuilt it as a salvage vehicle. As soon as I gave it electricity and good gas, the thing started right up. Of course, I still had to repair the whole right side, which is really freakin’ hard on a unibody, but I did it. I also ripped out the interior and basically tried to restore it. In 2000, I got caught in a Vegas monsoon, and was stuck in a major flood zone, thanks to the fire department shutting the street down. The water was so high, my feet got all wet (it seeped through the floorboards). Finally, the fire department directed everyone through a different route. I was able to get out of there, but I had to drive over peoples’ front yards in order to keep from driving through flood water that was too high. Everyone followed me, and some guy was even videotaping and laughing as I went by. By the time I got the car back to my house, it was sputtering and knocking like crazy. I pulled into the driveway, and it died. The electrical system was shot, and I never got it working right again. But I bought my PT Cruiser after that, so I let my Z go.

However, someone bought it from me about six years later, and that guy is restoring it. He’s doing a much better job than I was doing, since he has a bit more time in the day to work on it. The thing looks great so far. I asked him what he had to do to get it running again, and he told me that he replaced the wiring harness and the voltage regulator, and then he gave it some good gas, and it fired right up. Not too bad, if you ask me.

Those old Datsuns were solid. For that matter, any of those old cars were solid. I love old cars. Everything went to $#¡† during the ’80s.

But I know what you’re talking about when it comes to repairs. After all, I restored that Z, and it was a pain in the @$$. I do my own maintenance on my Nissan minivan, and it’s a pain in the @$$. They have covers on everything, and reaching into the tight spots and getting enough leverage is a pain in the @$$. It’s not like an old Chevy truck where you can practically crawl into the engine compartment right next to the engine. But anymore, lots of cars have little room to play. The pulley system on a Nissan is a royal pain in the @$$. On a Ford or a Chevy, you just get a wrench for the tensioner, put it on and pull it back. Not on a Nissan. You have to loosen the tensioner with a wrench, and then you have to move it by turning a certain bolt that lifts it up. It takes an hour to remove a belt.

2014? Work a little harder Nissan- people are going to be snapping up all the plug-ins available as petrol prices go higher than the Al Burj Dubai, far before this product even reaches the showroom.

Does anybody else here remember the little old Datsun pick-ups? As long as they didn’t rust out in two to four years, they were great little zippy trucks. They pretty much lived through to the Nissan Hardbody until about 10 years back. Now they have these HUGE brutes that aren’t bad trucks… but aren’t nearly what they were.

But hey, the old Datsuns weighed less ten years later than they did when they were new. Hey, atleast they lost weight faster than most Americans right now. Why? Cause of all the rust problems they had. It was ridiculous. I’m surprised how many Z cars are still out there today.

I had a 2003 Altima 2.5LSEL loaded and it was one of the best cars i’ve ever had. So i have nothing against nissan. i just like smaller cars and they dont make a small car i like.

Hey, aren’t all vehicles sold in the US since 1996 supposed to be OBDII compliant? Had a 2000 Crapfinder today, with the OBDII connector, and right next to it the old Nissan-2 connector. Guess which one worked, and which one was just for show!!!

Well, at least one of them worked. It would have really sucked if neither of them worked.

Actually, they are not. These systems are obvious hoaxes. Like a lot of other frauds, they are just perpetual motion machines in a new box.
