What did you do to your dime today?

[macgyver]

Still in tear down cleanup mode

 

[Just Joel]

I sat in my car and cried

Cylinder 2-4

 

 

cylinder 1

 

My condolences :(

Art is officially fixed.  Was either A. A clog in the fuel line or carb, i blew the carb out with carb cleaner and my compressor, every hole i blew...(that sounds wrong)  Then i purged the line, took off the fuel filter, had wife hold a towel over gas door, and blew air in case anything blocking the line.  So that could of been it. Or B. I put in 2 gallons of fresh fuel, iso heat, and octane booster, mixed it up, and let her run for a few hours outside...or C...a lil bit of both.

 

 

But the hesitation is almost gone, i need to get the carb adjusted a bit for the idle, but most of the hesitation is gone. I got up to 80 on 217 with no issues, she actually feels a lil bit peppier than what she was before, a bit more responsive. Im just happy, so much stress off my shoulders.  My baby is up and running again.

Almost crashed it...

 

Went to a local meet and almost died on the way home. Its not incredibly safe driving without working headlights or defroster when it started to rain. I almost drove right into a median since I didnt see it. Guess I know what I have to fix tomorrow.

I almost did that on the way home from fest. One working headlights and windshield wipers that work when they want with pouring down rain Is a bad mixture

Yeah it was far from safe. Im on the hunt for a larger alt now to cure the flashing dim lights Im working with. 

[skyblue]

Bought and installed a rear bottom seat.

[DAT510]

^^good enough to run.............F-it.........run it till she blows :fu:

 

Precisely  :devil: 

 

My condolences :(

Its ok lol, the worst part about it all was I literally put this engine in not even 2 months ago.

Its soaking with ATF as I type. Hopefully it was a stuck clyinder, or hopefully I didnt make it worse lol.

 

I didnt plan on keeping the engine in there for long anyways, although a big step from a Tired L20B, its still not fast enough (LZ22)

Tristin the one i got from rock auto works fantastic.  Also i dont think ill need that carb anymore, if i have enough money i may still pay you for the shipping just to have a spare, but moneys been tight for me so dont know if i can afford the wife aggro.  Just glad shes running alright, and glad to hear you are all right.   The alt i got from rock was under 65 bucks, works great, went right on Art.

I saw you got it running so I assumed you didnt need it anymore. No worries, its just sitting here. What size was the alt you bought?

[danfiveten]

think 60 something. was way bigger than the stock one. my dad ordered it for me as a present for taking him to jccs.

[Brad's 510]

Spent the day making a speaker box for some new 6x9 speakers to fit in the rear deck under the rear glass & new rear panel in the trunk for the amp to mount to. Still need to decide how to / where to put the front 6.5" speakers

Glad to hear you are ok and hope you get the wipers fixed.

Going through some of the same thing on my 70/510, It's got some trash ( probably bits of rust I'm guessing. When I pumped some gas out at some point the hand pump stopped because of the stuff coming out with the gas. I'll pull the tank hear soon and try to get it all out. Good luck with yours.

[danfiveten]

Yah im thinking of pulling the tank and checking it out...im just afraid of fucking up the filler hose since nla.

I know what what ya mean.

I got some gear oil in the 72/510 now just have a few things to finish up befor starting it up but plan to get it started up today.

[Roz]

Installed the radiator, hooked up all the hoses, and finished up some wiring. I'm hoping to fire it up tomorrow.

[edekalil]

Got the wires hooked up for the reverse lights on the 72/510. Got gas to the carb, fired it up for a moment, gas leaking through the gasket or seal on carb window. Will try to straiten that out then fire it up and pull it out.

[Busta Nut]

Took the bondo out of the left rear door to prep for Rusty Ruby's rear door handle......

My car decided to straight pip its self. Muffler blew up....Fuck it for now. added a choke cable, its cold as fuck outside.

[datsunfreak]

Sadly, because I'm always working on someone else's Datto instead of my own...

 

Spent the last three days turning a bare shell into something that actually looks like a car...

 

Didn't even have front end sheetmetal when we started

 

Got a clean set of black interior panels installed (used to be blue inside)

 

Replaced all the guts in the doors and polished the glass

 

Replaced everything inside the hatch and installed hinges (asskicker job!)

 

New taillights and side markers

 

 

 

Now I need to actually do some work on my own damn 510...   :blush:

He's got lots of cool toys, a 400hp SR20DET 1200 ute, and he's building a tube-frame Mazda R100 with full FD RX7 engine and suspension.  :thumbup:

 

He's just not into forums and stuff. He buys stuff on ebay but otherwise doesn't really use a computer at all. 

[Just Joel]

Need to put the drip rail back on... Looks wrong without it.

[Just Joel]

Clean regardless... Keep us updated on the progress :)
