mklotz70 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Got turned onto a program(free) called HTTrack https://www.httrack.com/ website copier. Took about an hour to do my 43 page Mend thread, but it did it perfectly as far as I can tell. All the pics for the thread are now archived on my computer. I'll have to see if I can create a pdf or similar so that I can upload it to my site. I've got to run for now, but it looks like the option I was looking for. A one page thread downloaded in a min or two. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I just used HTTrack and it worked fine except all the pictures are gone. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 but that's because the pics were gone already......right? I'm trying to catch mine before the pic links are killed. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I guess you don't get much for $6500.00 anymore, or maybe the insurance company didn't pay them. 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Holy hell that sucks! did it pop the breaker? Does it have it's own overload that will reset after being powered off for a few min? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Electrical is fine, blows air fine just no cooling. Thank you Mike for the suggestions. 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 So either the freon escaped or the compressor isn't compressing. Do they have an over or under pressure cutoff switch. They ought to give you priority and get it fixed! 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I started to wonder how complicated the new systems are, could one rooms temp effect the temps of the other rooms, meaning is there a particular room that you are not trying to cool that the system is focused on, and since you are not trying to cool that room the system thinks all is good? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 AC is working the tech came out and found the harness plug to the compressor had vibrated off the compressor. The tech is surmissing that the plug was not fully plugged in at the factory or came loose in shipping. Does not matter to me how it got unplugged as we now have cool house again. 5 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Cut down a Quest battery tray yesterday. My brother Garret will spot weld it together for me so I can check fit and decide on location of brackets that I removed to cut down. I might have to relocate the battery because the 520 engine compartment is so short. 3 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Finished wiring for the 2 speed 521 wiper motor to the 720 harness. Also finished wiring to windshield washer bottle pump. Little by little. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 My brother Garret welded my battery boxback together this morning. I will decide on which and where the relay fuse Brackets need to be and I will have him weld these on. LIttle by little. I tried using Imgur but Firefox does not play well with Imgur. Still looking. Do not have cash write now for website. I will schedule my hand surgery this week hoefully that will be real soon so I can get my left shoulder surgery done. 3 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 In the process of loading my 520 Build album to Imgur. Not sure how to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 photobullshit finally got to my account. my threads are fucked now. i still have all my pictures between phone, external harddrive and fuckbucket though i think. need to figure out if i want to redo all of them all over again or not 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hey Charlie, what I did to make room for my battery in my 521 diesel was I cut the inner fender well level with the battery tray base towards the outside fender likely 4 inches, since I have not lowered the truck it made no difference on tire clearance. I then welded in a new piece of metal(triangle) on the firewall end, the other end has the canister type air filter housing welded into the inner fender also, you can see I don't have a lot of room for anything in this engine compartment. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks Wayno. I am running Beltech lowered spindles on my 520 plus a tortion bar reindex. With the short J13 engine compartment it will be tight after the AC dryer is mounted between the fire wall and the battery. I will take some pictures tonight after I set the shortened battery box in place. Hobo I plan to redo pictures in this and my 86 and my 85 threads. I will also redo picture in my how to threads if they are still editable. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Wayno is there a build thread for the diesel upgrade on your work truck? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Wayno is there a build thread for the diesel upgrade on your work truck? That's my 1969 Datsun 521 kingcab diesel with the stepside box, I put a turbocharger on it recently and it ran great, now it is losing power at freeway speeds, not really to bad on side streets, thought I had it fixed, now it's bad again. I have changed just about everything except the head gasket and injection pump itself, I have been trying to fix it since just before Canby with no joy so far. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 You have many unique Datsun trucks. My favorite is you 66 NL520!!! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I went back to see how much room you have in that area, and all your photos are gone, even the first ones originally hosted by someone other than PB. I was wondering how much room you have back by the firewall over the starter, but I just now remembered you have or will have air-conditioning & heating lines in that area, so that kinda gets in the way if the lines are high on the firewall, that area is where all the extra room is on these trucks(520/521/620), but you have a custom setup in there as I recall. I am having a 219 head rebuilt right now, I am going to remove the W53 head with the RV cam, it is a dog off the line(has no torque) unless I rev it up and I don't drive like that, so that SSS head with a stock cam should fix the issue, I already have the ARP stud kit, just waiting for the head to be done. I figured out how I am going to adjust the rear windows now, I tried electric and roll up and down and neither would work, so I am going to do it the way I did the 320. The holes are where I tried the roll up mechanism that didn't work, I will fill the holes eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Nice work Wayno, very simple window system. I am curious as to why the power window mechanisms would not work. You are correct on the AC and heater hoses in the firewall area I will also have a 620 windshield washer bottle mounted on the firewall like the 620's have. I had my brother weld a modified bracket back on the side of the Nissan Quest battery box. Soon as I figure out a photo host I will post some pictures. I uploaded 763 pictures to Imgur yeterday and when I was done uploading I had over 2300 photos in Imgur. Some reason I had 3 of everything so I deleted my imgur account. I miss how easy it was to organize my picture files on PhotoBucket. I might have to bite the bullet and do a website to host my own pictures. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Intersting ... I wonder if you could use a linear actuator to give you a power option... 1 Quote Link to comment
