For my own curiosity I found this... Just need to measure and find a match... https://www.suspension.com/universal-dust-boots.asp

We got adventurous in the bus the other weekend... It was our 19th wedding anniversary so we decided to drive the bus to the beach relax and have some lunch... About 80 miles each way, which took about 2 hours.. we did take the slightly longer back road since the highway is crazy and the bus is slow... but I would rather take it slow and see trees vs being stuck in slow traffic... To date that is the longest and furthest we have driven it.. usually its just the wife running around town... While it did get hotter than we are use to seeing, it leveled out in the acceptable range and never caused an issue, only mild concerns.. How it should look in our driveway...

If you cant find the exact plug some appropriate sized individual female spade connectors could be used.... Atleast you have the wiring diagram... You could also secure the wiring to the back of radio so it if the wires get pulled on they won't disconnect from the radio easily...

take a look here, with a little work these worked perfectly.... you can get them at orielley.... I manage to get ones off ebay with the nissan logo....

Not much going on other than driving the truck... luckily nothing else has failed.... The wife finally drove my truck for the first time ever.. She snapped her clutch cable last weekend and had been missing driving her bus around town... So she drove us to the store and back in my datsun... She did pretty good... No complaints from me... Gratuitous picture of truck at work...

I have wanted to do that for my 521 ever since I saw the original flying rabbit...

Those should be the same... Personally I would run the one you have for a minute to see what you're speedometer reads... Just incase your tires size or differential ratio is different from what that transmission was run with... It may be correct or it could have been changed to suit someone else's setup... If its correct the replace with red... if off I am sure mike can help you determine the correct color to correct any error...

Yes that will work... Thats what I did on my lynx intake.... I luckily had 2 spot where something should be mounted... When you tap the holes make sure you have the fittings ... use them as a depth gauge and tap so that when the are tight they are pointing at each other...

Previous experience breaking one. Yes... I tried looking back for what I bought and couldn't find it.... I am pretty sure I bought what visually looked the same... Did it look like this? Easy find on ebay... Datsun transmission breather...

Maybe describe how you doing it a little better.... You need to support the hub not the backing plate.... Then press the axle out of the hub, hub and bearing will come out together.... I have also seen some home made ways, a plate made to hold the hub with a long tube over the axle... Then the hub and bearing are pulled up... If real stubborn maybe some heat around the bearing... Don't forget to check your clearance after reassembly.. thats what the axle shims are for....

This is my opinion, keep it simple... Don't worry about a regulator, place a tee just before the carburetor fuel inlet, then connect to a return.... Make sure it is a return line... On my 521 I sent my return line into the vent line of the tank then added a vent off the filler neck.... Next temporarily add a fuel pressure gauge after the tee at the carburetor inlet and see what the pressure is... if your return line doesn't have any sort of restriction which it should, then you need to create one so the fuel doesn't just flow to the tank.... for that i simply used a spare air corrector jet and installed it inside the rubber line connecting the tee to the return... I was able to fine tune the pressure at the carburetor by changing that air corrector size on the return.... Last thing is remove the fuel gauge, I left one there and it started to leak from the exhaust heat... not good....

Swapping was the easiest way to keep driving the datsun.... So far its doing just fine... and it was 85 today....

https://ebay.us/m/xKZIe4 Currently not available through nissan... But ebay has it...

The wife has been enjoying the bus already, driving it to work just about every day lately.... Ended up installing a basic temperature gauge for her oil... just so she has an idea of her actual operating temp.. She was complaining it wasn't running good on very cold mornings... which is true, but she couldn't judge how long to warm it up till it would run smooth... so the gauge helps her know... Also came across a VDO tachometer that fit the blank in her dash. I had some cheap 2" one stuck to the steering column which I never liked... This is much better and same brand as the speedometer...

Till I saw coolant ... I only see a small puddle after I drive, coming from the corner of the radiator. Atleast I got 7 years out of this ebay radiator.... Luckily I had an original radiator, a fan and shroud to keep going... not sure if it will be good enough to run the ac, but should be good enough to drive..
