Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 You're welcome. It should work out fine. Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 There are other ways around a big master cylinder. I've seen hydraulic units out that require a power steering pump, but they can handle the heat better than a vacuum assist unit. Something that I would have done if I ran a 3 inch exhaust instead of a 2.5 inch exhaust is to put a notch in the cross member under the back of the cab. Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If you ran the radiator in the spare tire area, how would it work with the radiator below the motor? Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm thinking more in the bed area. I'm also thinking of a location just behind the back of the cab/front of the bed. We'll see how it works out...it's a while away. We need to get the drive train out of the donor. Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 There was a 520 with an RB I found in a magazine a while back. I'm trying to remember how that thing was laid out. 1 Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 If you find that article, link that. I've started a big to do list. The shop is trying to decide when to take the drivetrain out of their GT-T. I'm not in a hurry really. I'd be lying if I didn't say I want to hear that sound ASAP though... Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I visited the donor vehicle a couple days ago. We knocked some "shop rot" from the engine. I ALMOST said F it and bought the shop car...my wife would have crucified me though. http://vid720.photobucket.com/albums/ww203/sqcomp/IMG_2646_zpsudz8lqhl.mp4 You guys might know how badly I just wanted to buy the vehicle... 1 Quote Link to comment

If you tell us were that shop is, I am sure we can take care of that problem so no issues with your wife. :devil: Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Right?!? I took a ride in the new car...the damned seats sell for $2200 a piece new. Bride Gias low max I think they are. There's so much done to the car...it really is a work of RHD art.The bank won't finance it because of the Japanese VIN...I already checked...and had a plan to stash the car until the time was right to let the wife know I bought it. Ces't la vie I suppose. The shop owner is excited for the project. He just finished an EA86/Honda F series engine install tonight...he's working a weight redux project on a Formula Drift Pro2 car, then we'll get to the "fabtastic" work on the Ratsun 620. This is the list...it's going to change and get a lot longer...especially when the audio portion is involved. Again, the original idea was to put an SR20 in it and beat the piss out of it. This new engine opportunity has changed the entire outlook of the vehicle project. I refuse to kick the crap out of this drivetrain...it's too damned pretty. Gotta be able to rock it next to a good acquaintance of mine. The end goal is to be able to do this little Datsun right and be able to fit in with the Libertywalk GTR and 458... Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 *c'est la vie* sorry had to... Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah, also done on my phone too. I know better. Purge me. :P Edit Hold for further news. I believe the shop owners and I have come to mutually agreeable terms on the shop car. I may need to unload the 620... Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Congrats. I do feel a bit of envy. One very nice car. Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm waiting to sign the title. It'll probably happen this week sometime. Until then, it's not my car, and all you guys have from me is a bunch of hot air. Quote Link to comment
sqcomp Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thank you guys for your support on the 620. I just sold it to get it out of my garage. The good news is, it stays with my next door neighbor. I've been asked to assist in his build up of it. In the mean time...I have a "new" car. :devil: I took it to it's first show at PIR. There were quite a few strained necks and lots of pics and video that were taken... It'll be taken out a couple times a year and put right back into hiding in a secret location. I'd like to bring it out for the Datsun meet in Canby next year... Thank the lord for my military status, and an understanding chain of command to help with the ownership issues.

windowless66 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 :/ this ended with a lot less 620 than I was hoping 1 Quote Link to comment
