I got a little ways with a seller on Instagram with a similar name. Tried to get me to Zelle him money, both his random email Zelle accounts were super shady, and Zelle basically wouldn't even let me get any farther. It was a minimal amount of money, so I was going to give it a try, but I couldn't even get that far. Was a pretty poor scammer if you ask me lol.

Thank you kindly!  Not like it's a huge expenditure, but didn't want to buy 12 o rings before I got the right one.

I have an annoying transmission fluid leak from the trans where the speedometer cable comes out. I have done searching for the o ring that goes in there (which I am thinking is the culprit) and can't find anything. Is it the same as the 240s?

Thanks in advance!

are you talking on the relay side or the pinout for the connector on the other side?

Thanks all for your guidance, it sounds doable, the weather is supposed to turn south again this weekend I will have time to tackle it

I have fixed so many leaks (trans, coolant, valve cover) on this thing I am down to the last one.

Everything that I have seen has said that you need to put the car in 4th gear (on a manual car) and you might be able to get the stubborn crank bolt off to replace the seal behind the pulley.  I have a Jatco automatic, do I have to pull the motor to get this thing off?

Edit: Should mention it's a 1972 4 door Datsun 510 with stock 1.6L

Lol, yeah I don’t know where I found it

I didn't get to the store in time to get the blades that would allow me to use the old connector, I will try to do that this week.  Moved on to polishing bumpers after this.

Ok, so it works now! I followed the instructions and compared it to the “advertised” plug with my waterproof relay. When I get back inside I will show ugly “oh my god, look at this wiring pictures”

I have a water proof one with the wires connected and will try my hand at it this afternoon or evening.  I have the plastic end from the old relay I will clip in to make it look semi professional

Thank you very much!  I think I have one of those relays laying around in the garage somewhere

Mine is a 72, so the wiring should look the same as the guide above, I am all ears and have lots of time, we got hit with snow and wind today, so it will be a while in the garage.

The way I understand it (which could easily be wrong) the insides are basically the same, but the wires don't matchup on the pinout. So if someone had an extra one lying around (I threw my 89915 away a long time ago), and opened it up, I could match it up.

Below is the picture of my 25230-89905 relay, than two more for good measure after I pulled the plastic casing.

When in July? I'll shoot you an email

It has been challenging to find any relays for headlights in Datsun 510's. I purchased a 25230-89905 relay and I have a 1972, I threw away my 25230-89905 because I am not smart 🙂. So I am looking for some guidance:

25230-89915 is for later 510's and 25230-89905 for early 510's is what I am seeing when I search the internet. In Dime quarterly Volume 7 Issue 3 it speaks about changing the location of the wires in the 25230-89905 in the plug to make them work properly on later 510's.  Can anyone tell me what wires need to be changed?

The parking lights do work, at one point I had JUST high beams.  Then someone tapped on my relay and it switched to just low beams.  I got two new relays after that and it has always been just low beams.

That clears it up, thank you very much. I was wondering what everyone was talking about.  I do have the brightness switch and it turns on the light in the dash, but my headlights both turn off. So it is back to the drawing board I guess.

My Headlights don't work when the brights are on, it's been an issue that I have just put on the back burner for a long time, but recently I was browsing Datsun related forums in regards to the headlight issue and noticed mention of a dimmer switch for the dashboard.  I cannot find one in my vehicle, it's a 1972. Does my 510 have one?  And if it does, where is it?  Is it shared with another switch?  Is it an option?

Laughs in Northern Iowa...  I've seen worse rust on 2016 Fords

There were two guys on the Facebook group that initially pulled it out of a field and did the body work, then I guess this guy bought it and finished it.

Yeah the tire shop I go to does the patches not plugs.  Plugs to me are good for a quick fix like on the farm or something like a golf cart.

Sorry I have a 72 510 4 door. Yeah I may look for a hubcap in the meantime, they can't be that speedy, right?  Than when the tires wear far enough I do like the mesh style. What offset would work with Ermish racing coilovers?  That is probably the direction I would go.

Last week I had a tire start to go flat, had it patched at the tire shop and put back on. Today I was out on a county road and heard a funny noise, like a tin pang a few times. It went away so I didn't think anything of it. Stopped at the gas station and was missing my hubcap. Went back to where I heard the noise and walked the ditches and can't find it. The bonus is that it was a squeaky hubcap, now I am debating on whether to get a matching hubcap or just get new wheels and tires.  The tires were new when I bought it, so 90% of the tire tread is left on them.
