I would love to. I haven't seen any 520/521s for sale out here on the wrong coast. After I got the 620 I saw a 521 for the first time and knew I had made a mistake :P

I just had to replace my fuse box too. I bought one of those new ones off eBay from "designguu" it was $24.77 plus shipping. Shipping from Thailand is expensive, so I order a couple more things from them and sent them a "request total" and they combined shipping for me. I'm surprised, it's good quality. It says "Niles Japan" on it, and it came with a new metal mounting plate and the plastic cover. The only thing I did to it was; I opened up the securing...

prongs at the base of the fuse terminals (the ones that hold the terminals in place). They were a little loose, but now they are in there tight.

You moved to TN??

Thank you Indy. I'm still torn on them because rotas do have a bad rap, but I've never seen rotas fail like other reps. Wonder if its harder to find hayashi streets or advan a3as :P

Nevermind. found the hayashi usa site.

dont buy Rotas, buy real wheels. At worst you spend a grand.

I have 13" A3A's on my wagon with 280zx struts. They clear the barrel Fine. Problem is the back of the face of the Wheel locks up on the face of the caliper. I had to run a really small spacer for it to clear, I dont remember the size but its not even a 1/4".

Draynor has Advans...280zx brakes. But not super wide.

Thanks guys. I'll look into it

And why do scrap yards want $700 for a KAE with 160k+ miles?

ive got a twin cam that needs to be rebuilt if your not dead set on single cam

go ka then sell me the a15!!

Sell me the 1200 :P

no!! lol I needs it

I don't think that the carbs will hit but you may have to make/modify a filter setup. I just this week got a GX head,intake, carbs and filter. It was off a 1200 but should be same.

I'm not sure about the head specs, but if I'm not mistaken the GX head is supposed to flow better than my H89. Would you mind sending me pics of the intake and carb setup? I'm still trying to figure out what carb setup I want to run.

+10 is a pretty low offset, you can probably get away with a bit more if you need to depending on your front disk setup. Of course you can always roll your fenders too if you have some close but not quite wheels. 185/55/14 is a small wheel at stock height it won't even come near the wheel wells. I currently run 15X6 +10 with rolled fenders and 205/60s on the back and it just fits. I did get a tiny rub in one spot on one side if I totally bottom out (full car and big bump) so damn rare.

I've run 14X7 with a bigger tire previously and a worse offset and they fit okay. 15s are a lot easier to get tires for than 14s though.

Yea, I've noticed. I would go for 15s, but I rarely see the wheels I want in 15s. Plenty of 13 and 14s but no 15s. Thats the problem with wanting a specific wheel :P

There is just to many things i want in those catalogs.

If i win the lottery i am going to buy 20 or 30 of those baby bulldozers and open up a mini bulldozer race track

haha, that would be awesome. I'm drooling over welders and torches at the moment. Really need some decent fabrication tools.

I got a 32/36 that prolly needs a rebuild. PM me.

good to hear

If all goes as planned I'll be rocking a datsun again in the near future :)

Congratulations.

military is on the table, I have to drop the weight first but it has ben an option for the last couple months. I've dropped 20, still need another 40lbs gone before I'm boot camp weight.

And thank you nismo dr. It looks like september has really taken its toll on a lot of people.

The Army has been good for us. Just get in now, before they make changes to benefits and retirement packages.

No shit! Havn't driven my 620 for 7 months. re-doing front end after being hit and ripping out smog and re-doing motor etc. I feel ya man!!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

I have one hanging around.

it will work with the updated alt bracket. i am running a 720 alt on my 73 620 and no issues. i was running a Z 60 amper on my L16 but had to use the newer alt bracket.

Thanks moparvwfreak, I figured it would work but wanted to make sure before buying another part.

Titanium beats Stainless Steel any day!

Stainless isn't that strong. Grade 8 should have been more than sufficient. It's breaking due to excessive vibration. usually due to the bolts being too small for the alternator (holes in alternator ears larger than the bolt, common issue when using a newer alt on a L16 mount). You need a bushing in the alt to prevent that, or use a later mount with larger bolts. Also seen excessive vibration from folks going "fancy" with the upper adjuster (using turnbuckles, etc). or e...

thanks guys, I'll be sure to look into making a bushing. I know the belt wasn't over tensioned. It was actually more loose than the previous belt because we couldn't get it to tighten as much in the rain. The vibration part makes the most sense. I'm using the stock upper arm for the alt, but the holes for the mount are a bit larger from what I remember.

I hope I can find a wagon. She likes slammed cars so a 810/910 wagon slammed would be great.

210 wagon? Or an A10?

Looking at a 210 wagon as well. I just have to show her pics and see if she bites. If not I dunno how our relationship will take it...

Solder.

^ true story

Ah, I are correctedified. Mucho gusto.

i can haz link now...

this is why you lay down the rules ...but not my rules because apparently i dont get to make them :(

Who needs a women when you can haz a datsun :) lol

haha, that may be the best way to go about this.

plus the unavoidable cost of machining. I wont even mention Hot tanking, sonic testing, or balancing.

how bout the cost of a headache from doing all of it!!

And, I forgot to add that I received a parcel that looked slightly like a pipe bomb last Thursday. Been munching on vegemite sammies every since :P

good find
