Hoping to make it! Have to change a couple parts tonight, wish me luck! Lol

Hey Crash! I’ll do my best to be there alongside the 260z, I’ve got most things sorted out besides an overheating issue and my lower rad hose blowing, I’ll have all the parts I need in the middle of this week, so fingers crossed 😅🤞🏽

I’m down to meet up before hand most definitely! I agree that there is no structure to how they park people on the lawn, so showing up together would make sense 👌🏽👌🏽 As as far as wiring, I’m waiting on my reverse switch to come in the mail, and a few other things and I’ll be tapping those back in and hopefully completing the circuit so I have no loose ends. If something comes up I’ll be shooting you questions for sure 😁🙌🏽 Thanks!

The wiring is nuisance, but a fun problem to solve... I guess 😅 a KA swap will be worth it though, if I had the opportunity to throw one in mine I prob would go the same route! I’ve gotta check yours out for sure!

Ive noticed! Lol Before I joined I scoured the forums here, then realized I just need to be a part of the conversation already. I was thinking about upgrading my dash lights eventually with the info posted in the other topics. thanks for the heads up, looks like I’ve got to look for a dimmer switch now 🤔 this toggle switch is JANK.

Sweet! That’s not too far, this is getting exciting lol 👌🏽 I was looking for one for some time now, and I coincidentally met a guy in NH who had one personally, and way too many other projects going on, so he offloaded it to me 🙌🏽 Nice, how far are you from having it “ready” for then? If you need any help let me know! Either way the 510 is always a nice option to have. Oct 13th gives me some time to sort out my issues as well, hopefully we make it!

Interesting, it’s a toggle switch to the right of the steering wheel. It’s in the same place as the instrument panel dimmer switch that I’ve seen on later models.. is the dimmer switch supposed to be on mine as well?

Should the dash switch in the picture be wired to an individual 7.5A fuse though? That’s my biggest confusion, I don’t know where the original leads from the switch connected to, and the fuse being looped in makes no sense 😅 I’ll post pics of the fuse and more under the dash soon, may clear it up. Thanks for the info, the last things I need to rewire in is the rear license plate light, and the reverse lights from the switch on the transmission. 🥴

Thanks for the welcome I’m from the Haverhill area! I was hoping to bump into some locals here. Larz Anderson is always good for a pop in, didn’t know they had a Japanese day 😁 going to look into it myself

Hey all! After some time considering making the plunge, and pushing from my buddy (260z Owner) i've finally purchased my first Datsun! It is a 1973 620 4spd 1.6L. 😄 Upon picking it up, it was pretty much all there besides needing a battery and the brakes bled. It has some shotty body work from the previous owner, but I've found ways to make it look more pleasing to the eye for now lol. With in a week it was running, braking and registered and on the lawn at the Larz Anderson Museum for Cars and Coffee! 😄 The only real issue I'm working on is the night mare of wires under the dash and frame to the rear tail lights. One issue is my dash instrument panel light switch, its got a 7.5A fuse wired and hanging from it, and the other end is wrapped around a terminal on my fuse box. The original wiring diagram hasn't been much help as the wires aren't all the original colors and so forth. Maybe one of ya'll can bring light to what I can or should do. Any help would be great. see below for pic of the switch. My gas tank is also rusted out, so it leaks if filled past 4 gallons. I ordered an 83' 720 13 gallon tank, and plan on retrofitting it to the frame. I'll post more pics of the truck when I get a chance.
