Just have your friend listen to my LZ it will have him sold. Bump this meet guys lets make this happen.

I tried this but it fluttered out. I am down. I am from sac and could help organize or host it.

It is definitely used. I am curious to just how much it can haul. I hate snagging my pants on the hooks, but I wont remove them I use this truck too much.

I have a couple questions. The first being what state do you live in? My second question depends on the answer to the first. As soon as you reply I will add my two cents.

.....load today. I made my first long drive today to dobbins ca. It was a 82 mile, one way, trip. I went to pick up a load of wood for free. I do not know whats funnier, the fact that it took equal amounts of gas to get there and back, or the look on the faces of other cars as I passed them at around 80 with a bed full of wood. I set my air bags to 32 psi and it rode great.

I too have been pulled over and harassed. I am certified pre smog. I have the only 73 kc in cali lmao. I got the whole dot cop called on me. Until I tiold him my shit was a 73 then he looked at me and told me to get out of here. I do not give a shit what any cop says pre-smog is any motor I please and when cali changes that then I am out.

I dunno, but I have L28 sitting in my garage right now. I will go measure it for you.

I will the second he gets back to me.

Exactly. My builder told me to "drive it" change the oil every 100 for the first 500 then again at 1000 and it is done. I never babied it, yet I did not try to tear it up either. Btw I too have replaced a piston while it was in the truck.

You got it. I will ask him as soon as he gets back to me. He did mention making any thickness and bore size needed. He also said if there is not one on file he will send you a thin wood pretest piece for you to verify its function.

If it does not exist he can make any thing you want for a cad fee,30 bucks, and programming fee, 30 bucks, and the final product of around 35 bucks. However, he may have them already in his program. He is very cool and honest, so we will see what he can come up with.

Yes that is what he suggests, I was not going to get very technical until I found out all the details. He actually said the one in your pic plus the spray on kind and a trick to refresh copper be heating the entire gasket and quenching it in water. Plus he stated that because it is soft a re torque will be important to create a perfect seal.

I had a copper head gasket on my jet ski that did not crush and sealed both combustion and water jacket with no leaks and I reused it for two tear downs and 3 years. The u67 has no water jackets for the intake, well not on mine at least. They suggest a thin amount of silicone to help with metal imperfections, so it may hel;p with the water passage too. As soon as he calls me I will verify this to work with intake, exhaust and water.

Yes it is going to be a square port head. I will pm you with all the info he gives me.

I just got off the phone with a guy who can cad cut a copper gasket for the intake and exhaust on a L4 datsun motor. He can make a deal if 5 or more are purchased. He will get back to me later or maybe even monday. I am just checking if there is enough guys interested in one. It should be around 28 to 30 bucks each and they are reusable. Post up and let me know. Chris

Let us know. I am on vacation that week, so it will work for me. I need to change some gaskets before then so an earlier meet may be a bit of a crunch.

Ni big deal lets try another date like the second week of august. What do guys think?

By all means give me a call. We can head out or you can roll with me. My truck has a .75 overdrive so it can hang at speed well.

I decided to really tear into my dcnf and get the jets it has been needing. I bought a air cleaner that is solid aluminum. I am now running a 165 air corrector, down from a 185, and a 190 main, down from a 230. Wow is it quick. It pulls much harder at 5800 than before. I cannot wait until I can advance a bit more timing. Right now I am running around 22 deg full advance. I should be able to get away with 28 to 30. I had to learn the hard way what too much timing does to a LZ22, so I will have to be careful. Last time I broke a piston skirt.

Antioch is closer for me it would be a 68 dollar trip for gas. I might need to bring tools just in case lol. I really need to make a new throttle cable bracket. Maybe I will make one before I go. Maybe another sac guy would like to caravan there so it would not be so boring. Btw I hold about 75 or so being that it is only 3500 rpm. If we can decide on the day, do we all agree to meet in antioch? I say the third week in august which is either the 16th or the 17th. I am leaning more towards the 17th which is sunday. What do you guys think? It gives us all enough time to prepare.

I get 12 mpg and I have to use 91 only, so it could get expensive. I may be down though since I tuned my carb my truck runs great. How far is this from sac?

I am not too sure just how many people are in or around the sacramento area. I would like to see some other datsun's. I am just checking to see who is interested. Post up if you feel like having a meet and we can figure out the details.

Vg30et end of srt gay. If you want to kick his ass and make him show a bit of respect do some minor suspension work and whop his azz in handling. It is some thing your car is naturally good at and his terrible at. Probably cheaper than any engine you could buy.

First off what carb is on it? If you have the hitachi carb there is a little screen on the top of the carb at the fuel inlet. They get clogged and do exactly what you describe. My 720 did this once and it took me a while to figure it out, but once the screen was cleaned it was good as new.

I dunno being a 2wd and looking like that is kinda weird. It would be bad azz if it was 4 wheel.
