njoz1200ute Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Im thinkin about getting a weber for it, a little bit more than hitachi but might as well upgrade while im spending money on it. Its well worth it, power gain, performance gain, only a little bit more $$ than the stock carb. 1 Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Stripped all the black paint off the headlight surrounds and polished them. Makes the lights look huge, see if it grows on me but adds a little to much bling for my taste. Side note, don't wear flip flops while using paint stripper, the splatters burn like hell between your toes. Duh! 1 Quote Link to comment

njoz1200ute Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Perfect. Can you show me your hood pins underneath?? I want to do the same, yours position well Quote Link to comment
racer135 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 CRC Gasket Stripper is awesome for stripping paint, you just have to scrape/brush it all off before it dries, but I suppose that's the same deal as normal paint stripper. Works a lot faster than the brush on paint stripping paste I know that much. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 DF, are those LED headlights? BTW the Sedan grille stuff looks badass. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just ordered some yellow tint for the headlamps, there Currently Hellas with new H4 bulbs so I want to keep them around for the time being. I'll see if I like the look and performance of the film, I have yellow Cibies in another car that when on (high beams) offer incredible light. The film is cheap 5$ for a 12"x48" roll.

graveltrapp Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just remembered I have a roll of tint I could try on the lamps as well to bring back the darker front end as well think I'll wait to try the yellow first. But it does look good on your coupe. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 DF, are those LED headlights? No sir. Smoked H4 housings with fluorescent bulbs. Would like to do LEDs some day, but probably not on this project... 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 These would be pretty cool on a 1200... http://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Round-L6024-Street-Headlight/dp/B00OYR8MVO/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1430704896&sr=1-2&keywords=7+led+headlight 1 Quote Link to comment

Morrisun Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 13X6 turbine wheels, American Racing?? Or that's what the caps say/said. Tire size BR 5.0-13 way old school close to a 215/55-13 which is a size they didn't make. No cracks, were stored in bags out of the heat and sun. Probably used them for Datsun meets only! Made some changes, a little less of a tail dragger. 3 Quote Link to comment

Morrisun Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 datsunfreak- Yah, that didn't last longer, damn near lost my fillings going to the gas station can you say dismounted! Kilo Tango 1200, you are right they are very similar- center hubs differ- yours look in better condition. Pressed out lower pin, drilled holes bigger, replaced with 1/2" bolt- sleeve in urethane bushing is 1/2- Yes #6 other things I didn't remember! Changed to an electric fuel pump, installed cover plate on engine block. All this so I can move my battery back above idler arm, on the right chassis leg, WHY?? So I can install NEW wider, mo' better radiator, electric fans and go 1 mph faster and be $200.00 deeper in to SMURF! 2 Quote Link to comment
