goes2fast Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 So have I. :rofl: But it's the only pump that seems to work well on the A-series without a pressure regulator. These engines run best at 2-2.5psi. This pump runs right at 2.5psi. If it wasn't for me not wanting to have a regulator/gauge in the engine bay, I'd probably have run a different pump. These do tend to last a bit longer when rubber mounted (as I did), so here's hoping it lasts a few years at least. :thumbup: Depends more on the carb, webers want 4 to 4.5 psi. Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Had this badge in my stash, so gave it a try. I dig it... Also finally got tired of hanging keys on various screws and hooks and bought a good keybox... 4 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Dig the hell out of that Coupe badge. It was kind of a goof, but the more I look at it, the more I like it... :thumbup: Tim joked that I just put it there so from the front no one will think it's a sedan... :rofl: Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Tim joked that I just put it there so from the front no one will think it's a sedan... :rofl: What do you mean "joked"? All kidding aside, it is growing on me. Give me another week and I'll be claiming it was my idea. 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Terrible lighting, but... After a test fit of the rear wheels it's been decided we are going to rework a few things in the rear suspension, so... :blush: More to come... 5 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Someone asked if the rear had any poke (guessing it looks like that in the photo?), but no... As it was (6 degrees negative camber with a 1/4" spacer)... Adjust to 3.5 degrees negative and removed the spacer... Fit is not as aggressive as I'd like, but it matches the front better now (older pic, but you can see where the front is at here)... That is about how it will look when it's done, maybe 1/2" lower all around. 4 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Why people only rate this thread 4 stars? What do I have to do to get 5?!? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :sneaky: 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just kidding. Only today realized you can rate threads, so I had to see where I stood. Wish I hadn't now... :rofl: Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 To quote Mallory Archer, "Are you people just saying random words?" Oh, duh. I just fingered out what y'all are talking about. Never mind me. I'll show myself out. 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Been kinda wanting a white-rimmed steering wheel for awhile, because I think it would look cool. They can be a bit spendy new (assuming you don't want cheap ebay crap), so I had an idea... I had an old beat up Nardi that's been in my garage for about 10 years collecting dust... Then I found a company that makes custom leather covers in any size and color you want, so I had one made to match my paint... Stretched on... And stitched up... It's a little fatter than I expected it to be, but we'll see if it grows on me... Thoughts? 2 Link to comment

Laecaon Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Looks like it will get dirty... Why I like black wheels. Oily and sweaty hands will be your enemy... other than that, I like it. 4 Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I like it. Anytime you can use something already on hand and improve it, it's a score! It will look good in the 1200! 2 Link to comment

Oily and sweaty hands will be your enemy... other than that, I like it. Like I'm not going to wash my hands, and shoes, before driving it... ^_^ And I've also considered buying an extra quick release hub so I can swap between wheels whenever I want to. This would keep the chances of dinginess to a minimum. Wheelskins claims it has some kind of special coating on it to keep it from getting dirty, but we shall see... B) 3 Link to comment

goes2fast Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wait, I finally did something you like? ^_^ Yea, for a change, lol. I'm a big wheel skins fan, I have one on my 620, and have had them in the past. If you ask them they will send extra thread to do a baseball stich, which looks more professional, but take twice as long to do. :thumbup: Link to comment
