Datsun lingo ?


Recommended Posts

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

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."

God must hate you fuckers then. All them spiders, snakes, and that one poisonous mammal.

And then he stuck you all out in the middle of the ocean.

More like God's Inside Joke.

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

That's unusual !  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 .

Like what?

 

The one that made me write this post ...there was a word on a sticker "Datscloso"...I think that was the verbiage I remember....It had me scratching my head for sure.
