  1. been working a bunch so havent had much time to work on it. got a new windshield gasket in, which is nice and water tight, but the roof still leaks like a beast even after sealing it with silicone sealant. bought the wrong brake booster (got a 9" ugh) so brakes still suck the radiator got air in it somehow so it overheats, need to burp the system and put a stronger cap on there. its gonna be a SLLLOOOWWWW build.
  2. i havent had nessy in so long! sounds killer!
  3. hey everyone! im new to the forum so figured id start out here just picked up a freakin awesome 620 with ka24de. super excited to keep the build going and have a killer truck! also have a 78 620 longbed (bought it, put new tires on it....then found the other one, now i'm selling it) ill be probably using the forum as a resource more than i post (i live by the search bar) and i dont know enough yet to chime in on helping others, but will when i have the knowledge/ability to. on a totally random note! if anyone near the so-cal area is looking to buy a 510 with 13b rotary, turbo charged, fully built, roll caged....one BAD ASS CAR, friend of mine is is looking to sell his. i can put you in contact with him if interested. from what i remember, hes looking for around $15 (has about $11 in engine from what im told) but verify that with him if/when you get in contact. look forwards to meeting other datsun owners and bringing out the potential in this lil beast!
  4. I freakin love the truck! Such a fun car to drive! Ill do my best to keep the thread running, but i seriously lag when it comes to updating (camera doesn't work well and i always seem to find other endeavors to do instead) My main things right now: -get the brake booster replaced so i have nice working brakes. -check the torsion rods in the front to see if that's where this pulling right is coming from. -find the "ticking" noise (think it might be the timing chain tensioner?) only makes the noise when cruising with almost NO load on the engine, goes away with any load added -fix the sun roof seals -make mounts for the radiator, fuel pump, and whatever else needs to be better mounted -install the helper springs and raise the front an inch or so (i know people are going to hate that, but its going to be a user truck, i need the little bit of extra travel. also putting a bed tool box on. again i know not everyone will like that, but its too functional for me not to!) -clean up the interior, tuck wires, build a clean dash piece around the gauge -replace oil pan gasket (or stop the small leak somehow) -install the speedo cable and get that sucker working -helicoil the stripped valve cover bolt holes (resealed one near the back in the center of the cover with a teflon gasket. used to leak like crazy! now, nothing) -install second door popper/interior door popper buttons/starter button and fail safe (already had engine running and closed doors, luckily grabbed spare clicker and opened the door) -clean up the engine bay -spray bed liner -clean up the bondo areas, get some color match paint, then try to clean up the paint some more worried with 1)safety 2)performance 3)safety 4)looks wont be my first car that's modded, but ive got ALOT to learn about this platform and the engine, but look forwards to it! already getting some good use!
