Javin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I plan to drive around with my GF. I have to make sure that she is safe. The Steering is a little scary. It stops and goes just fine now but I need to be able to turn/keep it going in a straight line. Serving in the Air Force was an honor. How much longer do you have to go? Are you Active Duty? Sorry I wasn't very social when you stopped by, I was trying to get ready for a speech I had that night. You going to be at Canby? Thanks for the comment about the heater, I still need to get it finished up and installed. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Lovin the blue gauges. There a write up somewhere? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks skib. That makes me feel better. Instead of replacing the Temp Sender, I replaced the wire first and let it warm up. Seems to be functioning correctly. I also replaced my side marker light, now all my lights function correctly. Blinkers work with the new electronic flasher unit. Feels like it is almost safe to drive! well lets get crackin on that suspension/steering and get it done :lol: Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I had a write up at one time but then I did the Tach and the cab filled with smoke (wires acted like a fuse). So I need to redo a write up with a slightly safer method. Quote Link to comment

Javin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I did mine significantly different than just replacing the lights in the back with the LEDs. Mine involved LED strips placed in front of the gauge. It lit up Great like that. I can see the lights even when sunny out. When I go to light up my tach again, I will add more info.

Javin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Darn it! I just got to thinking about my dash and how much I want my tach to light up too! Well I was searching and I think I may go with these for a future project! They Freaking change colors! How cool is that shiz! I am waiting on a response from the seller about the dimensions of the strips. I may have to do it! Need to brush up on my soldering skillz Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 The 620 is looking good Javin. Very kool that shes getting worked on finally :D Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah, with the body work that is coming up eventually, I really wish I would have taken you up on your many offers to help me with it. There is still a long way to go. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Plates and tags just came in. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Am I the only one that washes their truck with a scotchbrite pad :P Today I tried to clean up the engine bay a little and managed to destroy a spark plug wire. Still looks like butt Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 And the purpous ofusing a scotch pad? 0.o Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Getting rid of some of the 7 year old primer... it comes right off. I probably used the cheapest shit I could find at the time. The primer is crappy anyway. The blue coming through looks decent though. I am going for the "I am going to need a tetanus shot after just looking at this truck" look for canby. Believe it or not, under the hood was much dirtier... I am still cleaning California sand out of my truck! Quote Link to comment
Big Schlink Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Plates and tags just came in. Hey, I have that medal. I went with the permanent plates though. To answer your earlier question I am going on 8 years in the Air Force, 5 of those were active. I'm goin through a med board so who knows when I'll get out. I will be at Canby at some point, I'm sure I'll see you there. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 A lot of people have the medal. I just wanted something different than just the AF one, However, I may change to the AF one later... Today I pulled my dash insert and got prepped to do LED lighting on my tach. I also repaired my glove box hinge. Oics Took one of these plastic folders from Freddys then cut a section off using the inside part as a width gauge slid it into the box door after removing the three bottom screws when it had the same amount sticking out as the original piece I made holes in the plastic and screwed the original screws through the door Screwed the original lower part down over the plastic. Tada... works. 1 Quote Link to comment

It works pretty well. Better than falling off whenever I opened it. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Anyone know if a 200sx shifter will work on the 620? I think it may be short but mine is crazy long right now. Quote Link to comment

Javin Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 the plate said 11/81 so I would assume an 82. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 its an S110 so it prob has a Z20/22e in it. Quote Link to comment
