edekalil Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Gave her some running around. To get anything I needed for my hell ride of putting a water pump on my 07 Camry that was going out it had water weeping from the weep hole. Edited October 6, 2020 by edekalil 2 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I also picked up one of these that sticks to the tool chest and a box of gloves. Edited October 7, 2020 by edekalil 1 Quote Link to comment
LS_Wagon Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 3D printed the base to the 69 rear side markers with flexible filament. 3 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Found most if not all of the new parts for the L20B build for the 2 door all apart. The timing chain components and oil pump and bearings. All look good. Compleat gasket set,rings set,and tower shims all look good. The tower shims may need a slight cleaning other everything looks good. Plus a L16 exhaust/intake gasket I believe can be used on a u67 head. Now to get a L20b head gasket for the L16 that is waiting for her head. Edited October 12, 2020 by edekalil 1 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 That type of speedo takes me back to when I was a kid. Where the needle goes from one side to the other. 1 Quote Link to comment

Worthwhile to update your headlight relays while your at it. Headlights and turn/hazards are the hardest part. 1 Quote Link to comment

Still got mine from way back I wanted to get several to use as place mats cause they where laminated. 2 Quote Link to comment

Another note- @Jsoi510 since you are redoing all the wiring the stock diagram really isn’t about the colors of what goes to what —- since I’m assuming you already pulled all the stock wires. It’s really about understanding how the system was designed, what splices into what and how the switches work. It helps you redesign the EZ system to match/work for the Datsun system. I found it helped to draw/write out some of the more complicated systems before actually wiring them up. hope that makes sense Edited October 24, 2020 by demo243 1 Quote Link to comment

I think what’s confusing is how I couldn’t match any wires in my stock 510 to any diagrams. Some wires would match others wouldn’t also trying to understand how the system worked with ground through relay and switch is the hardest part ez is all power to Everything coming out of their fuse box. But ima do what you said and draw a diagram before actually putting wires together To make it easier and to have it make more sense. Quote Link to comment

American auto wires fuse panel had some relays built in, and I added two for the high and low beam headlights. I ended up using the American auto wire headlight switch in both, but kept the stalk for hi/low function. it’s been over a year since I did the 620 and a few since I did the 510- so unfortunately don’t remember specifics off the top of my head. Both are running aftermarket gauges now too. if you get stuck on something I can check into how I wired it up on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jsoi510 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Fawwk soooo thats what im missing. I’m trying to make the stock lighting switch work with just the ez wiring, but ez wiring has head light power low beam wire, high beam wire with a “high beam indicator” wire splicing off it at the spade connector. Which I’m guessing that would be to the high beam indicator blue light on the dash. but I’m going to have to build the relays To be able to switch from lows to highs. I seen the headlight relay thread somewhere I just need to figure out how to wire that. I Haven’t gotten into detail under the dash but do want to wire up the most of the stock dash if possible haven’t tried yet. once I i get my lights working properly I’m going to tackle my gauges. thanks for the advise, greatly appreciated of you remember the relay wiring that would help. Either way I will search for it. And hope to find it lol 3 hours ago, demo243 said: I used American auto wire to wire up my 620 and 510.

Either way I will search for it. And hope to find it lol Ill have to go check this afternoon and see if I can confirm this... but if I remember correctly this should help. I will preface this with saying both my 620 and my 510 have custom dashes so I didn't need to try to use the stock 510 or 620 headlight switch. With that in mind it was simpler to use the supplied American Autowire headlight switch which was designed to handle the power for the headlights run through it. For reference here is the quick schematic for the American Autowire set up (Highway 15) - you may need to open it up in my flickr page to get the full size or google it. I have this diagram in my 510 build photos--- BUT --- I did NOT wire it up this way --- helps for general idea of how the relays work though. So with all that info--- From the American Autowire Headlight switch --- Park Lights (Brown) went direct to the parking lights with the needed splicing/splits to get to all of them. Dimmer Feed (Yellow) --- this per American Autowire is supposed to go to their floor mounted dimmer switch for hi/low beam power, but I wanted to use the stock 510/620 stalk, so I ran the yellow feed wire to the new relays as the power from battery (30). Crtsy Dome (white) - didnt use since I dont have one. Gauge lights (grey) - to gauge lights HL power in from fuse panel (red) - power in from panel Park power in from panel (orange) - power in from panel Relay set up- Post 30 -- Yellow (from AAW light switch on above schematic)- Power from dimmer feed from american autowire switch, split into two wires and run to Post 30 on both relays. Post 85 - Ground — low beam relay always grounded to common ground- high beam relay grounded to common ground through hi-beam selector stalk Post 86 - Power In (generic) - Run to 86 on both relays to provide power for the relays to function --- be sure to run this from a switched power source! If it is run from a always on source it will drain your battery. Post 87 - Power out - Run from 87 to their respective bulbs (hi/low) with a split off the high to power the high beam indicator. Post 87a - not used Essentially my low beam relay is always on, and power to the lows is supplied through the AAW light switch—high beam headlight relay functions off of a switched ground which is provided by the turn signal/hi-low stalk and the relays have constant power to function. As I said I will try to confirm this later this afternoon. Edited October 25, 2020 by demo243 2 Quote Link to comment

Thank you Demo243 will get on this once I’m back home and study what you sent me to understand what work I need to do, Happy to help! Id have to look into the stock light switch diagram a bit more - or maybe someone else can chime in, but if it isn’t capable of handling the power for the headlights run through it you could add a 3rd relay in there — or potentially reuse the stock original one in that spot. Relays essentially let you use a low power switch to turn on and off a high power accessory- if you aren’t familiar with them. They protect the switch and keep you from running to much power through them. Wiring is a bit weird, but overall fairy simple, just need to get in the right mindset hahah. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just need to take the time to understand what’s going on. Which so far it’s working. And now with the input you gave it’s given me breathing space to think a bit more clearly on the next part of the electrical. Quote Link to comment

shaddai Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I installed a full Ermish Racing coilver setup (and all new ball joints/bushings/steering parts up front). Still toying some with the height... I think I like it here. 3 Quote Link to comment

This is about as low as I'd want to go - the full tire is still visible front and rear... and it doesn't look like a rally car anymore (not that rally 510's are bad, not at all... just not the look I'm going for here!)
