    • Haines, Chiltons and others get their info from the Nissan FSM, which is fine, but even the best can make transcription errors, and they do. Get your information from the best, a FSM for your year of Nissan. I have the Haines 620 manual and only use it for the complete '73-'79 electrical diagrams. Everything else, all 7 years of production, is condensed into a thin book or large pamphlet about 1/2" thick. My '73 and '78 FSMs are easily over 2 times as thick and cover only that one year.    Point in fact, I have a Chiltons manual showing the main bearing journal diameter. The L16/18 are 2.1631" and this changed for the L20B to 2.3599". The Chiltons shows the '79 L20Bs reverting back to the 2.1631" of the earlier L16/18 and worse they continue this error through all the Z series engines changing back only with the Z24i in '86.
    • Fresh out of the first bake this morning.    I scuffed the lettering with 80 grit before I shot it to give the high temp some grooves to sit in. Sanded it back with 180 so it wouldn’t take much away.    I think it looks rugged 
    • 3d printed glove box liner. I already have one, but I thought this would be interesting to try. It's a two piece, I'm gluing it together here.     Pulled the door off and disassembled it. The game plan at the moment is to chop the door skin right above the lower body line and graft on a new section entirely from a good door. Yes, I could replace the entire door, but I don't want to paint the entire door if I don't have to so that I keep some of the rattyness that matches the rest of the truck. It's going to be a bit tricky to do that, but I'll try. Worst case, new door.   This section is rusted through both sides of the door. So I'll end up replacing a bit of the inner door metal as well. Kind of hard to tell how much damage there is to the lower part of this door. It's a lot. Both of rust, and multiple dents. Should be a fun one to try to fix!
    • Ouch! It is fun to watch Waltz get insulted, but is this what is expected to satisfy, us the unwashed, in lieu of any tangible justice? Taxes are crazy, the dollar is dropping, there are still plenty of Somaillis and bad actor immigrants running about, but Fallon gave Waltz a stern talking too on the TV, so let us be thankful and enjoy our shit sandwiches... 
    • Some good news bad news on those aluminum rivets. Good news is they work a treat for affixing the patch pieces to the pot metal.     Bad news is that one of those patches took the pot metal with it while trying to tweak things into place. For the meantime they're on. Guess I'll have to figure something out for that fender extension mount, but I'm half way between "if 3 screws don't hold it 4 never would have" and just running a longer screw into the fender.

      Hey hello, i’ve watched a bunch of your videos and you seem to be really good with these trucks. Wonder if you can help me out with an ignition problem I’ve got an 84 722.4 L engine 4 x 4 and I don’t know what wires go to the ignition when I got the truck. They were three dangling wires off the ignition and two wires coming out of the harness, a white with black stripe and a white with blue stripe those are the only two wires I have available and she is telling me she was having a problem with the coil why it wouldn’t start. I think it’s a little bit more than that they’re supposed to be at least five wires coming off this I’m sure can you help me maybe I’ve only got two wires to come out of the harness where can I find the other wires???
