uberkevin Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Battery hold down tray.. noted! I pushed her pretty good today. No sputters, no hiccups. Oil pressure is spot on. Shifting is WAY! different. Short shift trans is pretty different. Haha Quote Link to comment

uberkevin Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 521 Lz2.3 drive: Funny thing is I live in the middle of nowhere and when I decided to drive the truck and take a video there's 4 people walking down the street... didn't wanna be a dick and fly pass them.. we all no each other. Live on the same block. You know more driving tomorrow. I've got a bad thing with rads. Never had a good one. Even that champion I had leaked. So I need one. Again, this one is leaking in a few spots. Small leaks. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 get a KOYO 510 rad if you got money. get a quiet turbo muffler. Not a stariaght thru or glass pack or a flowmaster queit is the way to go. I ran only a 1.75 size pipe on my 521. To a Dynomax"super turbo". now wish I a ran a true 2 to 3 chamber turbo muffler or even a stock type muffler.. Every time I start up the neihboor cat comes over and eats my cats food. hears the truck start up matter of fact thats how the neihboors know what time to leave. They hear my truck every morning nice Y pipes . save them or get more if you can. 521 spec that is, for the torsion bar. 510 ones are different I think Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'll keep the rad in mind. With me moving to oly I haven't really any moneys to spend. And still need to pick up a job fast over in oly. Yeah I'll forsure get a nice muffler too, last thing I had was the cherrybomb glass pack and damn was I told all the time ny truck was to loud. I didn't give to Shits but now that I'm going to be living next to people that may or may not like the datsun. I better make it so they like it... No matter what she loud however.. oh and maybe don't keep your cats food ooutside. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 The short down tube is mine. The long one being flatcats. I have another stock 521 dt I'll be fixing. It's got a huge crack in it. But almost perfect. Well all of them seem to touch my trans in some way.. not to worried about that tho. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Cat food inside!!!!!!!!!!Neihboor Goes in house! Knows Im gone . YOu know how to use a clutch or is it slipping ,sound like your not banging away with the clutch like its slipping. Dont know what Flatcates are whats that grn wire on the - side battery if battery grounded why use another wire? Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Clutch slipping??? Nah that thing is barn new. Maybe it was my driving you heard. What noise at what time did you feel you heard the 'clutch' in the video. Exhaust is at my feet in the videos so that was stopping my hearing some bit. I used the 720 collar/bearing and fork with new l20b clutch set from Esty. No that's not the name.. what's the namme??? I forget. Also flatcat is a member here. So let me get the straight. You know your neighbors cat is getting in your house and eating your cats food? Cat/dog door? Human letting the cat in?? Change food.. give neighbors cat diarrhea.. but! May shit in your house.

uberkevin Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Think I blew the rear seal in my tranny just a few minutes ago on a drive.. Oil going everywhere. I thought I changed that outta there. But it could have been the 4x4 tranny I had... just can't remember.. Shit I hope it's just that, pretty sure it wasn't leaking yesterday. And I didn't drive yesterday. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 So i need some shims for the rear end. More info about what my problem was. http://nwdatsuns.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=77&start=1020. It looks like I've gotta wait tell the 26th or 27th for my truck. 'I moved to Olympia' We weren't able to fit all our stuff the first trip if we packed the truck. Knowing I needed to go back for the iguana, snakes and other animals this was the easiest way. That way I can get the parts I need '521 radiator, motor mount, shims'. Ill have that stuff soon. Then once I get the truck here I'll get the shit in and drive on down to an exhaust shop and alignment shop. Bingo bango! My DD is back........ in two fucking weeks.. Think I've got a good paying job, I'll find out more tomorrow.. Oh drove around town dropping off some resumes. Guess I passed Jrocks shop. Didn't have time to stop and chat or fap on his truck but damn, that thing is sweet!!! Maybe I'll drop one off there.. Once I get the truck here. Haha. Anywho. I wait.. I'll step up my tool game. Could use a bigger tool box but don't wanna spend a ton. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Really sucks not having my truck! I'll have it next weekend but still, I've got stuff I could be doing to it but nooooo I've got jack shit to do and it sucks. Don't have interwebs tell Monday.. doing job apps on a phone isn't the easiest thing to do. So I've been doing it the old fashion way, hoping it works out better this way.. I'm not a sales person! I just want to work on my truck! Or help someone else on their datsun.. I'm already thinking of other motors to build for my non existing other datto. Haha. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Loaded up most all my stuff from the garage in the back of the 521. Got in the tri cities, got home, started the truck.. it took holding the chokes up for a minute or so of course but shit sounded GREAT! I took a video but it doesn't wanna upload. I'll be getting the truck in the trailer tomorrow I'll take a picture then. I was able to pick up a 521 radiator, motor mounts, nice fan for a fan clutch then realized I wasn't using a clutch fan, so I need a four blade fan. I'll pick that up once I get back to olympia. Thanks Tdaaj for the 521 stuff! 2 Quote Link to comment

uberkevin Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 A87 hit right above my ankle. Swelling pretty much immedialy. More pictures once my chili 'ice pack' is down thawing. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Leg is alright. Hurts but isnt broken. Got some shit unpacked. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Glad to hear you didn't break it. Probably hit the bone and will have some deep bruising though Looking pretty in that garage though Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah left a pretty large knot. Bruising will come later, just glad I can walk. I'm pretty happy this garage isn't tiny, it's just the right size for the datsun. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The ability to walk is always a good thing I've found Looks like a smaller 2 car? Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I think I could maybe put another 521 in there. Maaaybe. it would be hard. Quote Link to comment
