Yes, it would & will still happen. Any airborne virus WILL RUN ITS COURSE thru humanity. Sure, they can TRY to curb it with a drug, but the majority will contract it. Those that have a STRONG NATURAL IMMUNE SYSTEM, will hopefully avoid the symptoms or avoid it altogether. Maybe the drug will work for others. DRUG......not a vaccine. It has been one big experiment on humanity. FUCK THAT LYING RAT BASTARD FAUCI & FUCK BIDEN & HIS MINONS FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT 😡

Right here in good ol' Colorado!! Fuck Biden & his illegal fucking mandates! The vax'd are "safe", right? Then why the fear of the NON-vax'd? Because it's NOT about fear, it's about the "administrations" sick agenda for control of the masses. FUCK BIDEN & all of his leftist piece of shit liberal asshats!!

Wow!! Great buy!! 😎

$37 for a GAS TANK? Link or it never happened!! 😉 I don't see a gas tank listed on rockauto for a 1980 720.................what vehicle were you looking up?
-
We have www.rockauto.com here in the states. Not only is it a good parts source, it is a FANTASTIC part # cross reference source. In your case, if you have a European car online cataloging similar to our rockauto, you could cross reference the ball joints, shocks etc. Hopefully they would list your CabStar, which we never got, so it is not listed on rockauto! You could also get chummy with a Nissan parts person, get them to look up part #'s for your CabStar, then compare to the 78-79 620 & the 80-up 720. FYI the 73-77 620 had a fulcrum pin front suspension (not ball joint), so completely different. Good luck!!

Hmmmmmm I think you should look at the 1990's Previa. That 1980's Toyota van looks kinda like this Nissan van & they did not produce as many as the later Previa. Just my 2cents!
-
See if you can find a parts blowup like above, but for the 1990's Toyota Previa van, that had the engine in a similar position in the chassis. Maybe Toyota used a similar cable......?? Toyota DID make a manual Previa, but most were automatic. Toyota likely sold many more of the Previa's, so if you can "borrow" a similar manual shift cable, would be much easier to find in a junkyard...........heck, if you think it would work, might still be available from Toyota.......??

Welcome! Lots of good USED parts out there! Check out www.kfvintagejdm.com for patch panels!

The 1980 720 2WD uses the same length 5speed as the 77-83 280Z/280ZX. I just pulled the L20B, the 5speed & the rear axle out of my 1980 720 2WD parts truck, to install in my 1972 521...........I have not installed it yet. The 77-83 Z/ZX L series 5speeds will bolt up to any L series 4cyl or 6cyl, but in your case (and mine), they are longer, thus you will need a fab'd trans crossmember & shorten your driveshaft (google local "driveline shops"). Look amongst the Z car guys in your area for a 77-83 5speed.............best to find regionally, cuz shipping them sucks..........big bulky & heavy! There are three different gear ratio's, but they are all kinda close in ratio's, so not sure I would worry about it.......?? As someone says above, the "shorty" 5speeds came in later 720's, so that trans is gonna have the later NAPZ bellhousing. It WILL bolt up to the earlier L series, but the "clocking" of the bolt pattern is NOT correct & will tilt the trans way too far (I think to the passenger side??), thus your shift lever is tilted way too far over! Yes, you can also find a 1972-1978 240Z 260Z 280Z 4speed bellhousing (I usually have, out right now, get $125 + shipping) & swap, but that is just added work/labor..........easy, but 😐 I suppose if you already have a later "shorty" 5speed, find the 4speed bellhousing & go! Wait a sec!! If the 5speed "shorty" you already have, came out of a 1980 720 WITH AN L20B, then you don't need to swap the bellhousing. FYI 1980 was the first year for the 720, the last year for the L20B............1981-up used the NAPZ engine & trans!

We have used a new late model Sanden compressor on two 240Z builds. Sanden & places like Vintage Air will offer a SMALL but way more efficient compressor (technology!), but you will very likely need to fab up at least some small spacers to mount & align the pulley with your tensioner & crank pulley. I doubt you will find anything modern that will bolt in. ALWAYS replace the receiver drier, unless it has been recently replaced. We also had a local AC shop custom make new hoses, to our specs.

See some good trim bits in there! 😎 -
She sounds like a KEEPER!!! 😎 Welcome back to the world of Datsun's! The biggest change you will find, is the LACK of new parts thru Nissan, compared to 27 yrs ago............so much has been long discontinued, so aftermarket & USED parts will become your friend!
-
Remember, if you are concerned about the actual trans gear ratio, the Wagon 4spd apparently had a slightly different gear ratio than the Sedan 4spd. Either will bolt right in, but if you grab a Sedan, you MIGHT notice a difference......?? Sorry, I don't have the details here now, maybe datzenmike knows!

I should have an illuminated HEADLIGHT switch. The various different part #'s were typically different length harness & different plug. I also have NEW repop plastic plugs available from vintageconnections.com, but I would need a pic of the plug ON YOUR DASH HARNESS to match or I can sell you both male & female plugs NEW with NEW terminals. PM me if interested! TJ Denver CO -
www.kfvintagejdm.com here in Florida should have them! We have used three of his 240Z floor pans "sets", including his lower front fender patch panels for the Z & they are excellent fit & quality! He has sent me some of the 510 panels for me to see, but we have not installed any yet. I expect the 510 panels to be just as great as the Z panels! TJ Denver CO

Curt, as the pic that I sent you before shows, my 1980 720 L20B cast bracket holds both the AC compressor (lower) & the air pump (upper). My particular truck did not have the air pump on it, perhaps removed, but the mounting boss is there on the bracket. As I stated above, there must be a NON AC bracket, as the factory AC was an option. I have an L16 block, so I can hold the L20B bracket up to the block to check bolt pattern, but iirc the bolt patterns are different on the block............ TJ

Sounds like your latch needs cleaning, greasing & adjusting! Could be the latch on the hood shut panel OR the adjustable striker on the hood. Just because a cable is longer, shouldn't cause an issue, unless it is kinked/bent at some point.
-
I think I have an L16 emission air pump bracket, but it is welded steel plate, not cast. Also, don't think it bolts up to the L20B..........?? The L20B cast bracket that I have that we talked about, is both AC & emission air pump. So there must be a NON AC cast bracket off of the 78-80 620/720 L20B??

I have a stack of sunvisors, but every single one has oxidized hardware...............the J hook rod & the 3 per side screws. The chrome was so THIN from the factory, that it barely protected the metal! The long rocker panel trim is now available in reproduction out of Australia............haven't seen any suppliers here in the States offering them. If you want function over originality, I install late model Subaru Mazda Honda Toyota rear view mirrors. Here in the States, the 3 screw mounting was Federally mandated, so almost every other imported car (not trucks), with the roof mounted mirror (not glass mounted), are the same 3 screw mount. They are "breakaway" mirrors, so I grab the mirror stalk firmly, give it a pull/yank, it POPS! off in your hand, then be sure to grab the 3 screw mounting plate! These mirrors look good. The original 510/1600 mirrors were very cheaply made & get sun baked, so hard to find good clean ones! Hope some of this info helps! TJ -
Crazy, cuz we buy parts for other cars out of the UK often & shipping costs are not that bad. I'm afraid it is what it is from the USA to the UK, cuz of the bulk of the package. If you get some other 510 guys to buy the same (I know, not many 510's in the UK!), the spoilers would "stack" together, so the size/dimensions of the package would not necessarily increase with more of them. The weight would increase marginally cuz only fiberglass, but the bulk/dimensions of the package are the big issue! FYI Troy Ermish is on his way to Road America right now, loaded with 510 vintage race cars, so if you inquire, you may not get a response right away. He should be back in CA mid next week..........only reason I know, is cuz I usually go to the same event.........😐

My co-worker at the time & I always say hello via text etc on the anniversary, remembering that day. RIP 🙏

If the ball type linkage connections you are referring to are like the factory USA spec Hitachi linkage at the firewall, yes, carefully pry apart. There is a tiny hole on the back of the plastic ball cup..........you can squirt some WD40 around it, hope some gets thru the hole, which will lubricate & perhaps allow it to pop off easier. I always lightly grease mine when re-assembling! If your Mikuni set up has the aftermarket metal type of ball/socket, I think they had a small spring steel clip, but same idea........yes, carefully pry apart!
