I'm pretty sure there's a spacer on there, but I'll double check! Thanks Aaron! I'll also check to see if the pumping the pump by hand works, Hainz! So excited to get this running.

Got everything set up. Had some issues with the timing. Looks like someone put another timing mark on it since the timing plate is on a different part of the motor. Anyway, it's timed to 10 degrees BTDC. Starts up and runs if I give it fuel down the carb. For some reason it's not getting fuel though. Both fuel pumps I have are working. One is brand new. Neither of them will pump fuel. If I take them out, I can pump them by hand and they work great, but when installed they don't pump enough pressure to even suck fuel out of the fuel can. Should I get an electric fuel pump?

Hard to see, but there's a Datsun/Nissan pickup in front of me. Right at the center of downtown!

Also, would you guys be able to give me some help with my heater hoses? If you know where they go that is :) http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=9231&page=3 I can't figure it out.

I'll check for Reline. I'll be in Colorad/Utah with the car so cold weather stuff is fine :)

Will do. That stuff is expensive! The only GL-4 stuff was Royal Purple and it's like $16/quart

Got the clutch line ordered. Should be here Friday. I'm in a rush to get this all together. Saturday I head to Chicago for 3 weeks and after that I wont have my car to work on anymore. So I've got everything but coolant lines, the clutch line, and some small wiring. As far as coolant lines, where do they go? The ones I took off of the car don't make any sense. Neither does the Haynes manual So do I run hoses along the green path, or the blue one?

Awesome. Will grab some today :) Do you know how much I need of it?

All of the stuff I see is like 80w90

What weight gear oil do I need for the dogleg 5-speeds? I can't remember and it wouldn't be in my book because it's not the stock transmission. All the book says is "Hypoy 90" 90 what? :(

Oh someone post it here! I can't view CL :( Pleease :D

I need brake/clutch line to go from the metal line on the body to the transmission. Anyone know where to get it? I checked Checker and they dont have it.

Got the exhaust and intake manifolds on. My exhaust manifold won't hook up with the downpipe/exhaust pipe though. the crossmember is in the way and wont let the exhaust move enough. So once it's running I'm driving it with just the headers to the exhaust shop. Yay. Also got my rad in. Now it's just some wiring, hoses, and fluids.

Alright. Got the transmission all finished and mounted. I even got my bushing sanded down and the shifter installed. No play or wobble in it at all! Awesome! We had to drill new holes for the crossmember because of the spacers, but they turned out well. My only concern now is if the exhaust will fit now that the crossmember is an inch and a half lower.

it came with a single piece with a chunk missing out of it(seen in picture) I was thinking of cutting out a section of my old one(which is missing half of it somehow) and JB welding it onto there. I dont want to have to take it all apart though. Ugh. My spacers don't work with the stock holes, I wish I would have known that. I knew they'd be off a little bit but I figured I could still use the old holes. We got the driveline in and started mounting the transmission. We are going to drill new holes for the crossmember and throw some huge washers and nuts on the bolts on the inside of the car.

I found a place to make me some spacers, and they offered me a deal on powder coating too so I had my exhaust manifold sandblasted and high-temp powder coated. Also, how important is it to cover the gap in this plate?

When was the last time you took a look at Euro cars? :P They've come a long way. A lot of them are safer than American cars. Plus, your statement makes it seem like the Europeans don't have SUVs or big cars. They love big cars, they just also love small cars for the city. I really think Renault, Peugeot, and maybe a few Fiats would do well over here. Might have to be rebadged as I dont think most people will buy a car from a company they cant pronounce, or if they think it's French, but they're all pretty damn safe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2oSkJ8oOH0

Renault Megane, Fiat Panda, we have most of the Vauxhalls anyway(Saturn) but there are still a ton of Euro cars that would do great here. And I think the diehard 'Murikans would rather buy a euro car than a Chinese car.

Mount a carseat next to it! Get him used to the roar of a few giant carburetors!

Mid-engine, rear wheel drive. Do it. Who needs rear seats in a rod?

I want to put in a request for one(1) incredibly sexy low profile intake. Holy hell. I wish mine was that good looking.

New Camaros are already being recalled for faulty battery cables and issues with the front of the car body cracking at high speeds.

Share the tips! My wheels look like your befores

That website missed some! I got bored and looked up "dragon fight" on youtube. turns out it's a Jet Li movie. Anyway I start watching the clip and half way through a guy gets slammed on the hood of a car. I think "Wow that hood looks like a datsun hood. But no way it could be, I think everything looks like a datsun". Sure enough though, about 6:48 into the clip, it shows a 620(?) and a Z car sitting right next to each other. Being fought over is my guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG6kp36QAS0

The throwout bearing? Yeah. I removed the old one from the sleeve, cleaned the sleeve off with brake cleaner, packed the inner recess with grease, and pressed the new bearing onto it. Then slid it onto the drive spindle with the retainer clip.
