MY DAUGHTERS NEW 73 620

[jastrunk97]

my daughter is 15 . shes starting to scroll through Ratsun

more oics comming . thanks for support

Thats cool! Hope she take interest in it! its a great hobby! I bought my first Datsun with money i saved at 13 and now im 15 and my 620 still isnt done..its allot harder when your only funds are yard work and some jobs with my dad.

maybe tuner a mid to late 70s honda hatchback with your other daughter, modern engine but old school looks. That should satisfy both of you.

right right that sounds like a good idea ..i still ave my wifes project ive been neglecting. 68 xr7 cougar  im putting a aod / 5.0L

injected into. its not as easy as a datsun to work on though.

anybody know why sometimes I can post many pics and other times I can only post one then

the rest is just script? thanks

 

[highdesertdatsun]

nikki my 520 . shes getting close

[izzo]

Could also get a b11 early 80s sentra. Then swap in 90s motor or even Sr. That'd be tits.

 crazy

[DeviousPsycho620]

Space them out by 1 line. That's how i do it and it seems to work.

Sweet 620 great price as 73 is first year and the less on smog equipment.

Put new front brake shoes w hardware kit on daughters 620 today.

Filthy filthy dirty. It would seem lack of maint main cause of brake probe.

The shoes I took off looked OE . The fronts worn out 1mm of shoe remained.

The worst problem was adjuster was seized in threads and the cylinder that

transfers pressure to rear shoe. Really stops good now. The rear brakes

where dirty and adjsuters both seized. Cleaned and lubed em.

Had some vacuum hose flop pin in the breeze. Fixed that then

Twisted the air fuel mixture in a little. Idles better. Needs el dizzy

And valve adj. I think I should re torque the head bolts. The upper rad hose

is soft as if coolant is contain by oil. If so very minor now. Coolant drained

Looked cloudy. But no oil residual float in atop. No pica today sorry.

[jastrunk97]

Any updates? 

[highdesertdatsun]

I did work on it today. Degreased and scrubbed the engine area. I'm going to

adjust valves retourqe head and comp test cylinders.I need a matchbox? Anyone pm

Me if you want to sell a good matchbox.

Info I've read on Ratsun strongly recommends retighten head bolts. I also see headlight

switch is bypassed so time to figure that out swell. Been busy at shop thank Buddha

so I haven't touched it for a week or two.I do start it and drive out of shop everyday.

it reminds me that soon I must make it live again. Ha ha

[jastrunk97]

Updates?

[mikeanike99]

Updates?

[EricJB]

right I dont work on it home but at my little humble shop. my body wont put up with working on my back

I save that for u pic it . old cars are the only ones worth it. the new stuff is well its junk . disposable heros

I love all old steel . im no holds barred if you will . i had been looking for a outlet / addiction for myself.

I tend to get into trouble. I was interested in building a tuner honder but somthing held me back.

it was the datsun gods. I would rather spend time and pain on somthing old and I did vws when iwas young.

I am burned out on air cooled too. so Datsun it is . its realy cool too take somthing bound for salvage

and make somthing people strait up trip on and covet . thanks for support . in need it .

 

 

 

 

You and I are a lot alike. Old, arthritic, and both recovering AC VW addicts. Drove them, offroaded, sandrailed, drag raced, wheeled/ dealed them for 20+ yrs. I still have all my engine/ trans tools and fixtures, and my sandrail, but that's it. 

A friend of mine has a 56 with a 36hp. I drove last year and it scared the shit out of me at 35mph.(my street/ strip bug would pin the speedo in 3rd) Don't know what I was thinking all those years. So Datsun it is.
