screamer510 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 So I ordered the clutch slave from RockAuto on Thursday evening, and it will be delivered today, Saturday. That was fast! Maybe I can get my dad to help bleed it and take him for a ride? It's out in the barn under its cover for Christmas. My big present to myself! Happy Holidays Dan Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Pick of my little setup down in the parking area. I'm working on cleaning up the ol' L16 there. Resting. Gonna chill under the cover until I come back from DisneyWorld with my wife and older two boys, age 8 and 6. One of my four helpers Ratsun Quote Link to comment

Just make sure you move the blue one. You have what looks like a 70's chevy truck in the garage. Quote Link to comment

screamer510 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 LeX, When and where? I have lots of little boys at home, so it can be hard to slip away. Thanks for all the compliments! Dan Quote Link to comment
NICKLE&DIME Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like the pic of the Ford truck in the background in the barn..... post more pics of that :cool: Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I drive that truck to the dump and back. In my rural setting, it is the only garbage service we have! I usually take some of the boys with me. It's about 8 miles roundtrip, on dirt roads. It's a 1970 F100 Custom. Maybe I'll take some pics next time I go to the dump! Dan Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 O.O I see balance weights on the outside lip of that wheel. Nice wheels should be static balanced, or tape weighted. >.< I do so love those wheels, though. I think they look great! Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well. My trip to work was rather uneventful until I got back to my little town and the oil light started to flicker. My heater is pretty poor. I have a pretty significant leak in the oil pan area, and the stupid vent pipe aforementioned. I might have a leaking rear main. I also have a trickle of coolant from the water pump. Thinking that I really want to get a throttle cable for the SUs. I guess I'm gonna start planning on a rebuild for the L20, to include rings and all gaskets and seals. What's the best rebuild kit to go with? I've been happy with what I've ordered from RockAuto. Beck/Arnley vs. OEM Nissan? If I can get a discount on a genuine Nissan rebuild gasket kit. Looks like that engine's coming out! Got a lot of compliments on the car at work. That's a nice feeling. Pic to please: Quote Link to comment
NICKLE&DIME Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 CLEAN 4 door. I like this thread and the black and white pics. How do the SU's work for ya? Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 The SUs work all right. They do kind of bog at first throttle input, but other than that they run good. I have the "jetlink" SU pages printed out. I may look into the dash pot oil. On a related note, what's the best donor for a throttle cable setup for the 510 with dual SUs? 240SX, 210, truck? Sealed Power re-ring kit with bearings, rings, and gaskets is $113 from AutoZone. Should be ordering one at the end of this month. Quote Link to comment

screamer510 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Stopped by my parent's house today. I thought I remembered a few plastic shoe boxes full of small parts, bolts, bits, etc. from my previous 8 years of Datsun ownership. JACKPOT! Never like finding something for free, plus finding a "stash 'o' bolts" for the car is awesome. Oh, what I can get done on a weekday off Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Look what my dad found under his house! My old bumpers, the front from the yellow car, the rear from the old red car! Sell, or spare? Quote Link to comment
510sAreHot Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I would keep em! never know when you are gonna need some bumpers and they are hard to come by in good condition.. yours looks good to me! Quote Link to comment
