Oh she stops faster then goes, forsure. If I drive it around the block you can definitely tell shes pulling the brakes, dragging. Like they are lightly pressed. Stops as soon as im not on the gas. Kinda fun, dont need to touch the brake to stop.. I thought maybe if I drove down the street real fast it might loosen something 🤔 it didnt haha so gotta get her in the air that all the wheels off. But my back is fucked.. again. Bad! Luckily for me its a work related injury. Might be out a few weeks. My muscles on my left side are all pulling. Back muscles, front core/pelvic muscles, down my left leg. Ive had back problems for a while now and just havent had the time away from work to really try to heal and build strength. Believe it or not, the chicken room in the deli at Costco is easily the most physically demanding job, and especially THIS Costco, small crew of dudes that actually work the way they need to in order to get the job done properly. About a 1000 chicken a day, one oven full of chickens '30' chicken every 20 minutes, they take about and hour and a half to cook, with 6 ovens running mostly all day. If we are lucky there are two people in the chicken room, normally one person pulling cooked chickens out and one person skewering birds and putting them in the ovens. One box of birds has 10 birds a box, about 60 pounds but up to 70, smallest ive seen is about 55 pounds. Ive been doing this for about 11 years almost, ill say actually, ive probably done the chicken room 8 years if i account for the times im in the production room. Anyway! Its alot of work with extremely repetitive motion on hard floors. And im not necessarily complaining, I like the fast paced go go work hard get the job done, but it is to much. The turn over rate is pretty nuts, the amount of grown men and young men that CAN NOT do this job is unreal, ive seen maybe 50 people come and go and either left Costco all together or left the deli on medical leave to never come back. I will add that its not just the chicken room why people leave... they do NOT wanna work at a fast pace...CANT!. I wouldnt even say fast, they just dont know how to work! Its like they never learned to work even tho they've had other jobs. Its sad. Im extremely greatfull my grandfather taught me how and why its important to work hard.

Really not to sure yet. Maybe just slowly fix the little things. Right now the brakes are step 2.

Woke up at 3am, left the house at 3:40. She fired right up. Make me happy 😊

I also picked up this 69 521. Probably the most complete 521 ive looked at out in the middle of no where. Small bump in the front, set for about 6 years but with a fresh battery and has she stated right up! Taking in way slow on White truck. https://youtube.com/shorts/r9i2T2FhTlU?si=rzJrG-rmntAQ4k4e

Thats pretty cool to think about. I was just telling a friend how its an interesting experience owning a Datsun, just the past 15 or whatever years. Its a ride, and experience to drive one and how not many people have that.

Been doing my thing. Happy 521 day my fellow Datsun heads.

Been a while. Now thats its warming up im driving the Datsun more and more. Let's call the 521 iv been driving O.G for now.. mostly stock other than the L20b and 5speed. My other 521, my first one. With a KADE in it has been sitting waiting for love forever... and well.. you know how that goes.. Well I had parked it 'my old one' in my garage to keep it out of the weather annnnd I started taking some of the few good part off it and swapping them over to O.G. and that got me thinking, I should take the disc brakes off and put them on the truck im driving kinda daily driving now. So here I am. and here is my original Mklotz disk brake steel brackets kit, that Jrock and a few other Oly guys helped put on for me year and years ago. just going to be cleaning up niceand get some small parts, https://mossmotors.com/661-890-pin-cotter-unf ive gotta thank Ratsun and the real OGs For helping find the lower dog bone seal N/A problem.

I have a few. Idk if all are for a 521 but I do have a few.

You nailed it! 👏 Been Jessica for the past 43 years.

Flywheel needs resurfaced but isn't to bad. Pressure plate is okay too. The puck just happened to find the only way out. This clutch definitely had a bite to it at the beginning but it was something you got used too.

You're telling me! Some how my wife an I didn't hear a thing. I just hope my transmission is okay. I had a problem with the main shaft sleeve, years back when my bearing basically melted and broke the sleeve. I'll have to find the photo of the bearing it was fucked!
