Z23T Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 some progress... I must say it came apart a lot quicker than putting it back together 0228162138a_HDR by luis veguilla, on Flickr Looks fucking awesome! This is one of my favorite wagons. The red wrinkle valve cover and gray block look sweet. Quote Link to comment

Stewiefied Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 So turns out that the flaring kit I use for my brakes sucked monkey D... leaked from every fitting I made, well almost every fitting... It wasn't the first time I've done fittings and had no issues before but this flaring kit was a nightmare... nothing sealed up, very annoying for amount of time I spent making them and fitting them to how I wanted... I ended up ordering brake hose kit from Chase Bay, not cheap but hopefully I can hide all the lines as I did before with everything being pre-made... I'm currently using their clutch line and it's a very nice piece... Fingers crossed that it comes in time before Wekfest Chicago Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Beautiful man. My goon is the same color and when i first got it, I found your JDM Chicago shots and was inspired! I was wondering about your flares for a long time and saw you explained it here. Any shots of the process? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 If I may ask, I had a paint question. Did you use the original paint code to get a match, get a custom match to the existing paint, or use a similar modern color? Quote Link to comment
Stewiefied Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's the orginal color.. I couldn't remember the paint code so my paint guy ordered all samples of the blues for 71 datsuns and found it.. "Nissan blue" not sure if the name is legit or not Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 "Nissan blue" not sure if the name is legit or not Always heard it called Robin's Egg Blue, but I doubt that's a legit name either... :rofl: Same color (I think) as my old 4dr and wanting to paint my new 4dr that color also. Don't recall the number/name any more... ^_^ Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Looks pretty close to the color of my wagon which the PO painted the stock color he said. Dug through some old emails and found out my 4dr was marked 567. Seem to be at least 5 different light blues though... ^_^ Quote Link to comment
Stewiefied Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 yea there's like 5 different blues... I've seen some paint charts for 71 and it's always seems to be missing this blue and couple other shades... idk.... 567??? I think that's the paint code "nissan blue" http://images.tcpglobal.com/chips/1972-Datsun-pg02.jpg Quote Link to comment

I think that's the paint code "nissan blue" http://images.tcpglobal.com/chips/1972-Datsun-pg02.jpg Same story with red. Look at the 70 paint chart, as that was likely the production date. Seems like this shouldn't be the case, but it is Quote Link to comment
Stewiefied Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I know this one is 567... I really dig the color on yours. A lot. :thumbup: Same color as mine!!!! so 567 it is then I'm tempted to put all the factory labels back on or keep it clean looking 2 Quote Link to comment
