Thanks for all the responses. Is this close to a match: http://www.yourautotrim.com/whiteperf.html Keith

Have you identified what tires you are going to use? After we finish restoring the wheels (trying to find the correct color matched silver finish), I need to decide which a white wall or black wall to mount. Your project looks great! Keith

I recently purchased a set of Kia Sportage door seals. They fit great, just need to remove about 12". Keith

The engine shop is almost done with the manual and then I will scan some of the pages. (The rebuild process has taken much longer than anticiapted, I have had to locate many parts and machine some MG/Morris Metro parts to replace some of the Datsun NLA parts.) I was able to locate one of the last remaining Datsun/Nissan felt front crankshaft seals. The rear rope seal was included in the gasket package I puchased from an eBay seller. I would love to post some pictures, but I do not have any photos on a hosted web site. Currently, they only reside on my PC. Keith

My 1966 520 did not have a headliner when I purchased it. Does anyone have a photo of the original headliner? Also, what is this installation process of installing a headliner? Thanks, Keith

Are you looking for a performance upgrade? The Nikki carb on the 1966 is a good carb as long as it is in operable condition. You may consider a rebuild if the carb is leaking. Keith

Today, I fabricated a front crankshaft bolt that accepts the hand crank rod. My J13 was missing the bolt. I purchased a bolt for a Metropolitan. The Metro used an SAE thread, and the J13 uses metric. So we had to machine the old SAE threaded shaft and plug weld a Metric threaded shaft. Keith

My first post on this tread regarding my 1966 520. Today, I located replacement door window fuzzy strips at my local hardware store. 29 cents per foot. 10 feet should be enough for the four strips. (Since I do not have any of my photos hosted I cannot add any photos of the project.) Keith

Do you still have the air cleaner assembly? Thanks, Keith

The measurements I found on my 520 window channel are: .576 (9/16”) base inside .475 side inside Based on these dimensions, I have identified these felts: http://www.fairchildind.com/app/standard_products.asp?cat=4 http://www.technologylk.com/crl-beaded-flexible-universal-narrow-channel-for-1948-1962-various-model-cars-60-in-long-lk-Y630P60.html http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/showLine/offerpage.aspx?ProductID=17138&GroupID=20815&History=19748:19780:20757&ModelID=20815 http://www.jcwhitney.com/all-rubber-window-channels/p2009944.jcwx?skuId=170760&filterid=j1 Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain samples to verify that they fit properly.

I need a J13 crank pulley. Please let me know if you have one available for sale. Thanks, Keith

Our strategy was to insert the 1/2 rope seal in the channel of the block, gently tap the seal with the ball of a hammer to fully seat the seal in the channel. I believe we had to cut 1/8" from each half end of the seal after tapping. we repeated the procedure for the 1/2 seal on the seal/crank cap. (We used the seal from the comprehensive gasket kit acquired on ebay.) Keith

The Datsun Engine Manual is for the J13/J15&J16. The manual is at the engine rebuilder, but when I get it back I'll be glad to copy the index. Then you can tell me what page(s) you need copies of. Keith

I am rebuilding a J13 motor. What J series parts do you have? Thanks, Keith

Keep me in mind if you decide to sell them. Keith

Congratulations on the purchase of the 240Z. Parts for the S30 are much easier to find than the PL520. Unfortunately, the parts that make the Series 1 240Z unique are a bit harder to come by. Keith

nissanparts.cc provides a lookup of "valid" part numbers. The lookup does not confirm that the part is available via the Nissan Distribution Centers (NDC) or in the warehouse in Japan. According to Courtesy Nissan, no dealers have the part in stock and the NDC and Japan warehouse does not have the part available. Keith

Please let me know if you have one available. Thanks, Keith

Beautiful truck. I am rebuilding a 1966 520 w/J13 motor. After searching for parts, I have found that some 510, 521 & 620 parts a well as A & E series motors components interchange. Keith

I am rebuilding a J13, did you rebuild the J15 or was it running when you pruchased it? Keith

The J15 is a larger bore, so the head gasket may not work. I ordered the complete set from ebay seller taiaik (Singapore). I received the set promptly. I am not at the point of reassembling the motor, so I cannot attest to the quality of the set. Keith

I have heard that the Nikki carburetor that was standard on some J13 motors will not move enough air to accommodate the larger J15 cylinder volume. Here is a J15 rebuilt engine for $995 http://www.recycler.com/Details/-32535001 I am in the process of rebuilding a J13. It has been very difficult to locate all the components for the rebuild. The prior owner disassembled the motor and left many of the internals in the bed of the truck for 10 years. Needless to say, rust is everywhere. Keith

Do you still have the J13 engine available? Thanks, Keith
