DATSUNgeo

Skib, Very nice Z, would you happen to know the color code? Yenpit, would you please ask you buddy is he can pass along the color code? I do like the Toyota OD color. I believe Toyota calls it Army Green. Thanks guys any other input/suggestions welcomed.

I am ready to choose the paint color for my Datsun 620. I would like to paint it some shade of Olive Drab(OD) green with silver or Black trim. I know Datsun used a Moss Green, Jade Green as factory colors. However, I am looking for a color on the darker side of OD. It doesn't necessarily need to be a Datsun/Nissan color. Additionally, I am looking for a solid color not a metal flake. Any suggestions and welcomed. Thanks guys.

Well it’s been a while…! After working on other parts of the build I have circled back to the floor boards. After bonding the fiberglass floorboards and allowing them to fully cure in place I have added some fiberglass woven roving and an additional layer of 1.5oz chopped strand fiberglass mat over the woven roving sandwiching it. This will minimize the oil can affect. drivers side floor. passengers side floor

Thanks guys. I’m going to give it a whirl and report back.

Here is a picture of the TereFlex insert, for those that have not seen one.

The holes are tapered. However, they are tapered in the wrong direction if you are flipping the link(for the purposes of a KA engine swap). The reamer is 5/16" at the tip and is designed to open and existing hole to a true 11/16", if inserted or reamed to the stop guide. The TereFlex insert will produce the inside diameter taper in the correct direction to accommodate the center link I am looking for. The outside diameter of the TereFlex insert when modified will be at 11/16". This 11/16" hole could be achieved with a regular 11/16" drill bit but if I'm thinking correctly this reamer will produce the same outcome without the unwanted chatter and binding that a regular drill bit tend to have. Here is a picture of the reamer. Thanks, -Geo

Anybody ever use an 11/16” Champion SA80 Car Reamer to drill/ream out the idler and pitman arms when flipping the center link? I have access to one, so before I go buy an 11/16” drill bit I thought I’d ask. I will be using the TereFlex insert method for the center link flip. Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Very nice! Gotta love that rifle rack!

Thanks guys for the input. One of your tire size recommendations was 225/50R17, what if I went with a 215? The 215 is a bit more narrow than a 225, right? Thanks.

Got it. Hopefully these wheels end up tucked inside the fenders so when I do hit pot holes they don’t rub with up and down movement.

Cool, thanks for the insight. I would go with the thinner tire, 225/50R17. With this size being close to the original diameter do you think I’ll have rubbing issues on a full radius turn? Thanks!

They are 17”x7.5”. It took me a while to find the right set. They were either too beat up, too pricey, being sold with off-road tires, missing the center caps, or all the above. I paid $250 for the 4 on OfferUp. I plan on lowering the truck either 2” or 3”. I would like either a lower profile tire(50, 55, or 60) but not sure what size to get??

After about a year, little by little the 620 is slowly coming together. I found the Nissan Titan wheels I’ve been looking for. I used a router to bore out the center and cleaned them all up. The router sure made a big mess of aluminum shavings all over! They sure look nice! I’m not too sure what tire size I will be using, any input is welcomed.

I didn’t find any information on how well it holds up to UV exposure either. I think I’ll call up Kydex and ask. I was just wondering if anyone has had real world experiences with it.

I’m taking it in and having it long blocked professionally. However, there are plenty relatively inexpensive of KA24E rebuild kits on eBay. I’m not sure of the parts quality of these kits, they may work for regular diving. Just make sure you order the correct KA24E kit. The KA24E 240SX kit is different than the KA24E kit for the D21/Hardbody KA24E.
