philcas1987 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 i took care of the wiper department. Its Oregon. we gotta have working wipers!. i ripped out the old "good" stuff. and only kept the wiper linkage. the linkage needed work so i took it apart, and sprayed that shit with brake cleaner. used synthetic grease throughout, and put on datsun restore's wiper boots. i also bolted on my mazda 626 wiper motor conversion, and working wipers washer system. :fu: Quote Link to comment

Steve I must admit I have something of yours too I have a sohc 240sx speedo and it has 3 connections in the back. any idea on how to hook that up to my dohc ka? I don't know. I can't imagine it being difficult. Id have to check one out. I ruled a 240sx one out because its too big. Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 in order to fuel the ka. the fuel system needs to be reworked. im running a inline walbro 255lph, hardline from under the back seat to the firewall, and 5/16 fuel injection hose from tank to hardline, and from fuel rail to hardline. i mounted the pump on the little space underneath the rear seat. i plan on making a water/stone shield for it. im also running a 300zx fuel filter on a 240sx bracket mounted to the inner fender. i love how the fuel lines come up from the firewall. makes for a clean install. i need a couple of fi clamps and wiring to the fuel pump and im done. that will be done when the engine goes in.

DISLEXICDIME Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 phill you need a fuel filter before the pump so you dont suck anything in it and destroy the pump Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 i got the car with a mangled front valance. i took the front sheet metal off. now i just have to drill out the spot welds, and find a decent valance. i also installed a steering box brace by Design Products Racing:D Quote Link to comment
Yakuza Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 love the DPR brace, they're in huntington beach,Ca. and have LOTS of parts for 510s....keep the pics coming, cant wait to see what it looks like in the end...:D Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Seems like it was only a year and a half ago that Nissan was selling new valances, but i think they were about 150-180. I bet a fiberglass one would be cheaper.... Quote Link to comment
