     Up for auction / your consideration, is a vintage, used Datsun (Nissan) 2000 GT (1967-1970) Crankshaft.  It is used and it is not perfect, but very nice for what it is.  It is standard size on the main journals and standard size on the rod journals.  This one has not been turned, it has not been welded, it has not been repaired, and it has not been modified from stock.  It still has the factory nitriding process intact on it.  If you look at the journals, you can see this is a forged steel crankshaft.  The front nose where the harmonic balance bolt goes, is in good shape,  and the rear holes where the flywheel is attached are also in good shape.  They all could use a clean up with a tread chaser, but seem to be in nice shape for how old this is, 40 plus years.  It has been glass bleeded to clean up the surface rust that was on the counter weights.  Please review and carefully examine all the photos, before placing any bids on this item.  This is not a perfect item, it is used and there are some marks on it from use.
     This is extremely hard to find in this kind of condition.  This is a used OEM stock type of crankshaft, not a aftermarket billet steel one.  The only ones I could find are the billet material ones sold right here on eBay for around $2500.00

     The journals are used, but can stay standard on the rods and the mains.  This was magna-fluxed and checked out OK on the rods, mains, connections to the counter weights, rear seal area, and the thrust areas, before the glass bleeding process was done for clean up.

     This is not perfect, but it is nice for 40 plus years old.  There are some scratches, scrapes, and marks to the journals, but it looks like nothing has passed through the bearing journals, there is no majors gouges, pits or deep scratches to any of the journals.
     There is no modified areas on the counter weights, they are the same as they left the factory.  This is the same balance on it as it left the factory.

     The only damage that I could find is to the rear of the crankshaft where it was touching the floor and has some rust/scaling done to it.  There is still a flat surface that the flywheel attaches to on the sides of this flange.

     History: this was a spare crankshaft that was keep for  a backup on a 1969 Datsun 2000 GT Roadster.  It was acquired in the early 1970's and was stored in a warehouse up until now.
    At one point, a stamp was put on the second counter weight from the front it is marked "RR 1747", I do not know if that means anything other than what it is stamped.

     I will not be able to ship this out until Tuesday July 5, 2016, because of the holiday.  It will probably be shipped using USPS ground and it will be insured for the amount it sells for.

Sebastian Vettel keeps Infiniti happy

Fri, 15 Apr 2011

Sebastian Vettel drives an Infiniti G37 on track It must be a dream lifestyle for any 23 year old man. Driving fast cars in glamorous locations, and being paid a shed-load of money to do it. True, the sybaritic and hedonistic lifestyles enjoyed by F1 drivers in the ’60s and ’70s have long gone, to be replaced by workouts, mineral water and early nights.

Mercedes SLC (a ‘Baby’ SLS) confirmed. Again

Thu, 26 Apr 2012

Mercedes SLC confirmed once more Mercedes big-wigs have been discussing future plans for AMG and have confirmed production of the Mercedes SLC – a baby SLS. It’s always nice to speculate on new cars to come from interesting car makers, and in the case of Mercedes we’ve been actively playing the baby SLS game – a Mercedes SLC – since 2009. What we need to remember is that the SLS – and any SLC to come – is not really a Mercedes, it’s an AMG.
