I log back into my account and realized this truck is probably still breathing...hey Newbie, glad you took good care of this thing, do you still own it?

This might help. Vacuum is vacuum, just gotta make sure one end is connected to sensor and other end to a vacuum source (intake/throttle body/manifold). http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/91-94-240sx-vaccuum-diagrams-component-locaters.html

Good start, my memory is not working right now, but i know most of the vacuum lines go into the air intake or the throttle body. I used the S14 FSM (my engine was from an S14) and sat for a good 30mins till i figured all the hoses out and which i could eliminate and which i needed to keep. For the alternator wires look at the Datsun FSM, and the S13 FSM and trace the alternator wires and i guarantee, you will have a "light bulb" moment, that's how i did it because the all of the write ups had the cars/trucks and engines from all ends of the nissan/datsun family so it was impossible for me to match things up based on write ups.

Vavle cover looks great!

Yeah, it's got many little things that are unfinished. Like I said, once I got it running I was more interested in driving the damn thing than fixing it. It is definitely the most fun car i've ever owned, i don't know what makes it so much fun to drive but i miss that thing already. I'm so stoked that it ended up in good hands, and I / we will be looking forward to the updates.

He told me that he found my truck on ratsun and really liked the build. I give him full permission to take over if he is following this. I'll text him and let him know he is welcome to continue on with the project. I believe it ended up in the right hands, can't really say the same for my 240sx. The 240 went to some kid who reminds me of one of my good friends, "status is more important than performance, and taking corners is completely acceptable" not a big deal at this point i just hope to see it someday at a meet or on a forum and not crashed or parted out haha - really should not judge he was a nice kid and seemed to appreciate what he bought, i just know age sometimes is the determining factor in doing reckless/crazy things - been there myself.

Well the truck is sold. I miss it already, damn it, damn it, damn it, not sure if that was a good decision. I do want to snowboard and surf more so i guess selling it works for now, but i'm damn sure i will never find another 620 in such great condition ever again.....the body was very clean, just needed some wiring finished up and the suspension might need an adjustment, or may be the brakes. Well i'll still be around, so if anyone ever has questions about my build etc, please feel free to contact me. :crying:

I ended up going with CJ7 ends. There are 2 different versions of them but both fit fine they are just different lengths. Make sure they make it the right size from one end to the other. Mine was short so i had to get some CJ7 tie rods that were longer. The ones they sent me were some generic brand anyways so i got AC Delco if i recall. And the whole center link was $119.XX i found the receipt this weekend - thats tax/license/registration/vehicle destination fee etc. HAHHAHAAHAH.

Nope, it's coming from the top and my guide is removed at the top. Plus the collector where the rattle is coming from has a bit of oil sludge on it and engine smokes randomly. Sometimes i go a week without a puff then other times it smokes for about a good 30 mins, and loses a bit of oil, i check it often and refill if needed. Pulls like a beast, just needs that damn suspension looked at or may be its just the brakes, either way i'm still on the fence about selling it. I might post it up on ratsun, i'm only willing to sell it if i get my asking price or something near it.

Yeah i put it up for shits and giggles. My friend really wants to buy it from me so i might have to take it down, but you know how it works with friends, they want a ridiculous deal on the vehicle because they are friends. HAHA. I bought a new car so i'm debating about keeping or selling this thing. I love it but still needs a bit of suspension work, brakes need to be looked at, and that valve guide rattle is annoying the fuck out of me.

Could not find it, but yeah it was around $120 or less from what i recall just call Rusty's Performance (google them) and they will help you out.

With tax and shipping. You know what, i'll go look up the receipt just so i know i'm not making things up....will post in a few.

It was about $118. Fit like a glove and its beefy - thats what she said.....hahaha.

Another saga begins...got another KA24DE so i'll be starting a complete rebuild - first time so hopefully i don't F something up. Got this Ebay rebuild kit...having seconds thoughts about it. Bearings won't work for me and although i've read about people running these with no problems i'm not 100% sure about testing my luck. Might return it and go another route. Here is the KA24DE that i picked up for a under $300 - it had a rebuilt autotragic transmission and supposedly was in perfect running condition, but i'll still rebuild it. Few hours later it looked like this... Off to the car wash for a de-greasing. Probably not a good way to clean the alternator but i've gotten away with it a few times before so let's see if it works after this. And while i sit and wait, why not snap a photo of the truck? Saw this at a restaurant a few days ago, i was laughing my ass off. Friend of mine just got a fresh paint job, so i snapped one for the books. And my rb25det engine bay once more.....got the valve cover so had to snap one for you guys. Met some really cool datsun guys at a local meet a week ago and while hanging out noticed this thing out of the corner of my eye... Here is how the truck would look like if i dropped it another inch...

Yes definitely do so for other people to reference it and for us hahaha.
