I had a hunch you'd be on this one!

I bet you could get it for $20 at the local Toyota dealer parts counter. All the relays and fuses are Koito labeled as well so I assume the harness is made in Japan. The harness kinda just seems like an OEM grade version of what people have been doing for a long time. Naturally there's 2 annoying feet of slack because it was made for an SUV but the extra length fits under the battery tray just fine. Indicator works great and the relays added a satisfying click:

Hell yeah. Got a set and they're great. I hooked up the relay kit and now my lights are twice as bright from the test fit with stock wiring.

^^ What he said. Should just have to remove the bolts and pull on the pump. The gasket probably glued the pump to the motor over the years, give the pump a tap to release it and scrape the old gasket off with a razor blade. Good chance you need bearings though unless you're just zero on pressure.

I'm using NOS rubber bushings that I conveniently found under the back seat. I was looking at durothane but I can't get into the 1200 wiki to get part numbers to look up at the moment. I remember finding one or two matches on there. https://durothane.com/by-manufacturer/nissan

Good deal Doug! Thanks for the washer tip, I'll have to give it a shot. These came with grease so I'm hoping that keeps things from binding up. Luckily I had a bunch of NOS rubber bushings for the rear so now the whole setup is almost new, minus the front uppers which were in suspiciously good shape. Went for a drive on them today and it feels like a different car. The parking brake used to pull the axle forward a little and any roughness in the road on a turn would be a roll of the dice for traction...

They showed up this morning and fit perfectly. In usual 1200 fashion it took about 30 minutes to pop the shackles off and get it all back together. You can see the rub mark from how far offset the old bushing was sitting. No idea how they ride yet but the holes are the right shape. Test fit on the springs I'm cleaning up. Yikes for comparison

Nolathane sells a lower front leaf spring bushing kit out of California for the 1200 for $15. I ordered a set and some spares while they were on sale a couple days ago, still waiting to see what the scoop really is because they seem a little handwavey online but I hope they fit, hold up, and don't rattle my car apart. I looked into this way too much because I was expecting to have to spend an arm and a leg on some NOS bushings or ship a repop from another country. The dimensions on their Australian site for the part number seem to be about the same as the old Nissan competition drawing. Assuming a lot, here's the $15 + shipping alternative, hope this helps someone in the future and this isn't just a well known thing that I searched for wrong.

I wondered how the other 50,259 members pulled off registering, then I saw Delaware. Sorry for your luck.

Thanks! Close, that picture was at South Jetty in Florence.

Enjoyed a good storm and a drive to the coast today.

It holds the trunk floor panel up so it's easier to get the spare out.

It's the countershaft bearing, otherwise it was smooth! I've got another gear set with the tailhousing stuck on - the collar that holds the rear bearing separated from the case somehow (instead of the bearing coming out...) and doesn't clear the shifter internals so I need to find a way to hold that collar square so the bearing will actually pull out, or cut it and be sad.🤣 The 210 suspension upgrade definitely worked out well. I did that last winter and it's been a lot of fun, and bolt in! A lot of 510 coilover parts/bump steer spacer/etc fit so it's been kind of a relief on that front.

Pics and updates... I'm slowly painting as time and weather work out. I picked up a pretty beat 210 for the 5 speed, and the 5 speed took a shit within a month or two but I figured I'd swap the suspension over to the 1200 to make something of it until I get the 5 speed fixed. It wouldn't be right without some coilovers that I didn't even take a real picture of I put this little wing on Went to Powerland Got my kid stoked about cars

Took a look through the white car a bit more. I was planning on making it strictly a parts car, but both other cars are almost parts-complete with spares and there's just a lot of bondo on the white car, making it tricky to cut spare corners from. so I'm leaning back towards patching up the most pressing rust and driving the wheels off it like the good lord intended. If there was ever a perfect candidate to try all my bad ideas out , this would be it. Too bad I traded off the trunk lid recently. 😆 This window sill is gone, and so are some of the rockers, but otherwise it's not the worst I've seen.
