  1. I need to get rid of this. It doesn't run as great as I thought it should and I wouldn't feel right selling it for $2k... although someone that knows these cars could probably invest $200 and make it run like a champ. :thumbup: I just need to get as much of my money back as possible, as soon as possible.
  2. I just post it back on Craigslist, back where it came from :(
  3. ***PENDING SALE*** Well, I think I went way over my head on this one. I thought I could just buy my favorite truck and have it as my daily commuter (80 miles/day). But it has the 4.375 gears, 3-speed auto transmission and I'm looking for better mileage instead of power. And instead of investing the money to swap out a tranny or rear end, I figure I might as well just sell it. If I don't sell it, I'll just keep it and work on it when I have extra money... whenever that will be. Sadly, I just got this car today. :( Anyway, the engine is still strong. Roughly 68k original miles. Titan steelies. Good tire tread. HID headlights. New stereo installed. Body is in excellent condition with no rust. Pretty decent interior w/ some cracking on the dashboard. Two bucket seats. GT steering wheel. The A/C is disconnected. Tags registered until August 2011 w/ smog cert. Pink slip available. I spent $2000 on this. But I'm letting it go for $1200 FIRM for Ratsun members :). I figure the condition of the body is valued at that amount at least. I'm gonna post it on Craigslist for $1500 though. I'm in Los Angeles, so if anyone wants to check it out or test drive, send me a message. More pics coming tomorrow.
  4. I appreciate the straight forward answers, they're very helpful. Even not at full throttle, I can feel the car reving at at least 4-6000RPM and still not changing gears. I feel on edge waiting for it. I don't mind a slower acceleration since this is going to be a commuter car.... for now. You have any idea how much this should cost me or if any import auto mechanic can do this?
  5. Thanks, Mike. I completely didn't think about the strain of driving stick. It's been so long since I have. And you pretty much nailed the reason why I don't like this 3-speed auto... I'm having a terrible mileage problem with the high RPMs. I just drove 40 miles and burnt up about half a tank of gas on a heavy foot. :unsure: So to get this straight, I could change my rear end differential to a 4.11 and essentially change my engine RPMs for better mileage? How does that translate in what I'll rev at in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear? (I'll be doing mostly freeway driving) Right now, it appears that my gears change at 30 and 60 mph. I don't have a tach, so I don't know what RPM it's shifting at. Sorry if I sound completely aloof, but like I said, auto-mechanical work is not my deal :(
  6. Just took home my very first Datsun! 1978 620 L20B, 3N71 3-speed bullshit transmission. I love it except the tranny part. It won't do. Especially if I plan to make this my daily driver (minimum 80 miles a day) So.... 2 questions: 1) Does anyone have a 5-speed transmission they can sell me? I read the 200SX drops right in (clarify?) 2) Can anyone in the Los Angeles area install this for me??? I'll pay you! My back has been injured and I can't do any strenuous work. I basically have an old man's back on a 29 year old body. Ironically, I work in a steam plant. :mellow: I'm totally worthless when it comes to cars. But I've always loved Datsun and I really need my car to work for work. So please, help! Or suggest me to someone who can help. Thanks guys!
  7. Actually, here's a pic from the dude I bought it from. I'm kinda jumping the gun since I'm actually picking it up from him tomorrow. Excited!
  8. Oh crap. I didn't notice the 5 lug on the ebay ones. Good looking out! :thumbup: And holy shit, those wheels look awesome. If you still have them in like 2 weeks, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands :D I'll post a pic when i get my phone back. (broke my blackberry and have a shitty 1/2 MP loaner cam phone right now)
  9. Newbie here. Just picked up a '78 620 and looking on ebay for wheels. Will these fit w/o modification? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270612698889 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CRAGAR-BULLET-HOLE-ALUMINUM-6-LUG-WHEELS-RIMS-15-X-8-5-/200563368322?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb2822182 Thanks!
