Thank you, I my plan with this truck is to keep it as original as possible.
I want to change the rims and tires. I don't like the lowered look as much as most people so I wont mess with the suspension much.
The longed is amazing. It has a stock U68 head with a weber 32/36. I havent driven a ton of vehicles, but so far it is hard to beat the feeling of driving a datsun.
Havent met howlie, but I would like to meet up with some fellow ratsuns around hawaii and talk story about their truck.
Thank you, I was lucky enough to be born here and moved for a brief period in high school. That's how I had the connection in colorado to help me get the truck over here.
I've had a busy schedule or I would be more active on the forums. I wanted to once again thank the forums.
I was able to figure out I needed a new master brake cylinder after my brakes began to lose pressure and eventually only locked up after a hard push.
This has been going on for the last few months and I waited way to long to fix it.
I rotated the pads at first, adjusted, and bled the brakes but that didnt solve the problem for long.
I bench bled the master, then bled the master, all the nslv, and front/back in the order listed on an old thread. Datzen mike helped with that!
Brakes feel 100% different. Now it travels about an 1/8-1/2 inch before engaging, and it actually compresses it smoothly without a jerk.
My only question and concern is if it can be too tight. I don't want to press to hard and break something.
I think I have just been used to having a bad master and having to tap is 2-5 times before it actually engages.
Now it seems to be instant and consistent. Let me know if you all want future updates in another thread.
