The Datsun Roadster Book™
Part I - The Parts Book
In the "old days" when we had the parts business it was
beneficial to get parts information into the hands of our
customers.  That's where all this information started - as a tool to
increase parts sales.  Well, we're no longer in the parts business
so we thought we'd modify the format a bit, do some research
and give you the parts information with the NISSAN part numbers
that get you the part described (assuming it's available).

For any of you who have spent much time in the original NISSAN
parts book you know that the part numbers associated with the
item numbers on the exploded diagrams are often wrong.  Our
listings have corrected this situation as well as identifying the
numbers that NISSAN no longer has in their system - items
shown as "NL".

Many items are still available so if you have the correct part
numbers you can get them from any NISSAN dealer willing to
place the order.  Your biggest disappointment now will not be
getting the wrong part but not getting the part at all.  
Unfortunately, we can't help with the latter.

In addition we've added a number of other features to make the
book interesting and not just a parts reference.
Please note that all pages are scans of the actual book.  The scanner is good but
the actual books are better.  Remember, if you're not satisfied you can return in
new condition in 14 days  for a complete refund.

NISSAN Part Numbers to help in your search.
The key to identifying the parts is the exploded diagram.  We have over 35!
Along with the exploded diagram is the parts listing.  The "NL" notation means
the item is no longer listed in NISSAN's US parts inventory system. It still may
be available from one of the independent vendors like Sports Imports or Rallye.
A feature never provided before is an explanation of how the systems work.  
We also include "Pro's and Con's" of the systems for your information.  This
helps tell you why stuff happens and how to avoid problems with your car(s).
For those of you who we not around in the 1970's we include some vintage
parts invoices so you can see these items once were available - and not for a
small fortune like today!
We also include some Key Service Intervals for your maintenance planning.

We have included a number of vintage Datsun roadster advertisements
dating back to the S211.
We include a complete copy of the 1971 Collision Estimating Sheet.  It not
only has a lot of part number information, it also has some shocking prices.
Check those prices!!
We also have a reprint of the 1971 Datsun Competition Parts Catalog.
The Competition Parts Catalog includes all models that Datsun
supported in racing at that time.
