  1. Intro in order (from Haubstr)

    Posted

    I have replaced all brake springs, shoes, drums and rebuilt all brake cylinders...

    I also installed 4" angled lowering blocks and reindexed the torsion bars 2 notches... The only problem now is the shocks are bottomed out... I'll probably get the Toxic #411015 next...

     

    Here are some Pic's

  4. SU carb linkage for 521

    in Trucks

    Posted

    I did a search and looked already and didn't come up with very much

     

    I'm pulling the motor/trans out of my 510 (1800, A87, SU's, MSD 6AL, Z 5-speed) and it is going in my 521. I'm starting the process of acquiring everthing for a KA24DE swap for the 510...

     

    My question is, what type of linkage are people using in the 521 trucks? I want to still use my stock cable... I know I will probably have to build some sort of a bracket, but I was just trying to get some ideas on what they look like and where to place it...

     

    If anyone has some PIC's please share

     

    Thanks

    I'm 41 but still work on the Datsuns like I'm 21... drives my wife crazy, but she loves me...

    Married 5 years (this time)

    I'm on my third PL521 and my second 510

     

    I need to hurry up and retire from the Air Force so I can have more time to ummm... probably work some more... I wish it was to work on Datsuns all day...

    While I was stationed in Germany that was 1 of the places I missed... I hit Paris, Italy, England, and Austria... It sounded like it would have been a blast... maybe next summer when I visit the inlaws back in Germany...

  8. Z-71's on 521

    in Trucks

    Posted

    I asked the question because I wanted to find out if others had come across the same problem or if maybe I had done something wrong... I hadn't even tried to put a lug nut on it yet because the spacers won't be here until Monday(hopefully)... I was trying to use some advance thinking and see if I can do something else in the meantime... like getting longer wheel studs...

    I want to put on my Z-71's w/205-40's on my truck but the tires hit the leaf springs... The rims are already machined out to 4"... I figure I need spacers to get them to not rub, but how much spacer? If I put 1/4" spacers on can I still run the stock studs?

     

    Thanks

    I have been a lurker for too long and thought I would come out and introduce myself...

    My name is Jamie and I'm out here at Beale AFB in NorCal... Been in the Air Force for 21 years...

    Had my first Datsun when I was 17 ('71 510 wagon)... My parents had a '69 510 wagon that I drove for 2 years in high school... Since then I have had '70 and '71 PL521's (both gone) Now I have a '72 510 2 door and I just picked up last week a '71 PL521...($250)

    I obviously enjoy talking about, working on, and just appreciating Datsuns like everyone else on here...

    Thanks to everyone that has answered my couple of questions that I posted up here and I will start putting in my 2 cents when I feel I can contribute...

    Here are a couple of Pic's I just took last week... Later

  20. tranny question

    in Trucks

    Posted

    I'm pretty sure it is the 200mm clutch... I haven't measured it... So should I try the L18 collar and throw-out bearing???

     

    What do you think about the possibility of the Brass Input bushing wearing out???

     

    I don't want to pull the transmission again... I have had it out already 4 times since March... Oh well...

  21. tranny question

    in Trucks

    Posted

    So what do you think is wrong with my setup? I have a fresh (stock) rebuilt L-18, SU's, Z 5-speed... I have the stock clutch for the L18 and I'm using what I think is the throwout bearing and collar for the Z... The collar I'm using is longer...

     

    My problem is that I wore out 2 throwout bearings in less than 4 months...

     

    Right now it is making a noise again and I suspect it to be another throwout bearing... When I put in the clutch I can feel it in the pedal and I can hear it loud... It only happens for about a second when the throw out hits a certain RPM... It sounds like the bearing spinning and vibrating has lost the grease in it... It was brand new

     

    My other idea is: Could it be the input shaft bushing maybe real worn out and that is where the vibrating in the pedal and the sound is coming from... The RPM's from the input shaft could be vibrating...

     

    I appreciate the help and ideas

  22. Speedo 90 Deg adapter

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    This is the piece that screws on to the speedo gear on the transmission and changes the angle 90 Deg. so the speedo cable doesn't have an extreme angle.

     

    Does anyone know what Datsuns they come on? I broke mine and I'm looking for another...

     

    I found my original one on a '80? 510 wagon derby car... It was pretty beat up...

     

    Thanks
