ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 So I saw a 620 I couldn't pass up on Craigslist locally and well again bought another lol. KA24DE off a 93 240sx, 5 speed off a 720, and rear is off a Nissan Patrol talk about a hybrid Nissan love it. As you will see that flat bed is probably weighing it down a lot and that rear end with the combination of short ratio 5 speed isn't helping I'll eventually swap rear ends, and put a 620 bed back on it. Wiring is a mess but expected for what I paid but it all works runs and drives was a daily driven for a guy who did sometype of construction work and this was his daily beater. 4 Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Very cool truck! What are your plans? Debating either using the engine for my 521, but at least drive this for a while, find a bed for it as I got it cheap, fix the wiring, replace some gaskets and clean up a little.

Lockleaf Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Does it have a rear diff cover or is it a removable third member? Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Honestly didn't get a chance to look I'll take a look tomorrow morning before work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I meant that as a forward looking question. I should have said check to see if... Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 That wiring looks a little iffy. But if it runs and drives, good deal! Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Its been a minute since I've updated, still running and driving strong with no major issues. I did a tune up and oil change at work last week, replaced heater core hose, did the valve cover gasket and spark plug seal as i had oil in my 4th spark plug. Still managed to get 2 car lengths on one of my co-workers 2002 subaru wrx, rematch coming soon after his tune. It still has the stock radiator with 2 electric fans and its always ran pretty hot 190-195, thermostat is gonna get changed hopefully that helps some. Still need to address the vacuum leaks, and definitly the exhaust with those chicken shit welds it has to the stock blown out 620 muffler lol. Wiring i still have yet to get to but pretty soon will get done. Changed front wheels to a bit wider for now. Been trying to chase a short or bad ground on my passenger side tail light and get the turn signals to work again. Pics of course as it looks now. Drove it all the way to my old place where i was raised as a kid. This last sunday went to my buddy Reza's place in Klamath Falls about 80 miles east of Medford. 620 did well there all the way except it burned half a tank half way there lol. Picked up some free parts and on the way home caught a snow storm with no working wipers but managed slowly the way home. 3 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Been awhile the 620 had been sitting a for a month or so. Fixed the vacuum leaks on the intake, runs much better now, also new thermostat as well as cleaned the radiator out some more. Sold the lumber rack still got to fix the wiring but all in its time. Been thinking of selling it to get a bigger car now that we have 2 kids and it's getting cramped. Took it out for a drive today all around town and just can't find myself to sell it just yet. Here's a short YouTube video not much but just having fun. 6 Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Another video in the beginning there was a BMW M3 V8 behind me. He would get on my ass but then backed off a few times after not being able to pass me. At the end came up to a black ricey new edge mustang with a huge wing lol and another blue mustang nothing happened after the video cut off he ended up hauling ass to turn off another way. For the best of me can't get the passenger taillight running light to work but brake lights come on just fine. I was thinking it could be corrosion but th other one that works looks the same but works. Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hilarious I call bad ground through the light housing on the taillights. Just a guess I might get new tail lights since there cheap, along with the running lights there old and corroded. I'll have to rewire since a lot of stuff looks sketchy anyway. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sadly I sold flat Bastard today to a friend at least it will stay local. 1 Quote Link to comment
