Yep... now that almost everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket, how come we don't have current UFO, Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster sightings? I'm not saying that earth is the only planet with (intelligent?) life mind you... Just saying where is the photographs?

I found his video... He made this comment 5yrs ago "That was cold start. And you're right, they run great when tuned properly. Absolutely melted tires lol. I certainly miss it. It is sold now."

Good information! My 1983 Datsun Pick-Up Factory Service Manual 1st-Revision (looks like it was printed in 1983) shows Head bolt torque 78-88 N-m (8.0-9.0 kg-m, 58-65 ft-lb). Are these still current specifications, or have they been updated since 1983? FSM calls for Valve adjustment every 24,000km, 15,000mi. Are those intervals still a good practice?

Thank you Mike, I appreciate the information. I'm leaving in 20min to get the parts truck, so your timing getting back was perfect!!!!

My truck is a 1983 4X4, the axle code on the inside front passenger fender tag is HF38 with automatic hubs. The parts truck is a 1985 4X4, the axle code on the inside front passenger fender tag is CA41 that someone installed manual locking hubs... I knew that the CA41 was a Salisbury differential from some of the posts made on this site and my HF38 wasn't... I assumed that I could swap in the entire 1985 Diff, axles, hubs, and brakes over to my 1983. If your saying that I'm opening a can of worms; then I'm glad to hear it now before I go get that parts truck! And my understanding was that my HF38 signified .3889 gears and the CA41 (CA was for Salisbury) (41 was for .411, or .410)? So talk me away from the edge Mike, before I trailer the 1985 home in the morning.

Wow thanks Mike for that photo; that really puts it in perspective! This truck (1983 720 4X4) was in the family since new. Original owner passed about a year ago and it was offered to me. I don't want to abuse it, but going from .3889 to .411 gears (I found a parts truck CA41 axles to replace HF38 axles) and a Weber This was the specs I found on the cam Lift is .406" and Duration is 272° Lobe centers (LSA) are 108° I know this is some necrothread activity, but damn I'm researching everywhere I can.

I am considering this cam as well. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot though, as I've heard that there really isn't much room for error regarding the cross flow head. The dealership didn't have information until I started asking if he contacted Nissan Motorsports directly, to which he replied that he never had but would try... He called me back to report that the cam was available but he couldn't find where it was listed as a direct fit for my 1983 720 with the Z24 engine? It's a little bit concerning that CharlieW hasn't been here since shortly after these modifications... hopefully his motor is still running like a champ
