RadioRedline Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Lol Thanks Cahoon! Now only if it were a Diesel! Going to look at her tonite at 530. Radio Quote Link to comment
Cahoon520 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ya a diesel engine would make it super cool. I would like to see more pictures of this cause my plans are to put my 520 on a hard body frame for the brakes and ball joint suspension. Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Painted some more on my 620 Doors tonite. No Oics. Pics of the 520 I'm looking at as requested... Scary Rust on the frame? NONE of my other Dattos are this bad! It comes with a bunch of extra parts and a stripped 87 non rusty pathfinder frame. I told him wait a week to try and get his $ he wants (1500-2000) , and if not I'll pay him what I said I would (1000) Radio Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Radio If you get this truck & decide to shave the 2 reflectors on the back I am interested in buying them. That frame looks like scrap rust I mean metal to me LOL. I am real curious as to the angle of the steeirng column. Quote Link to comment

RadioRedline Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 So after not making a deal on the 67 520 mounted on a 1995 & 87 Pathfinder... (3.0L V6 auto 4x4 heated leather seats powered 520 Lol) I Found a 1997 Pathfinder Locally that was in a rollover. it has the 3.3L so VQ33E? 4speed auto with 4x4 LE so Heated leather. Maybe Would be a good candidate for a Underpinning one of my 620s or 521? I want/need a 4x4, and since I sold my 1983 It Hasn't Been the same! I would pickup this pathfinder strip it down to frame motor and chassis. and stick a Datsun Truck cab and bed on top! (Just like this other guy did only cleaner, not rushed and not a rusted out completely fucked frame) I am going to look at the rollover next week. It has 150,000Km, the 67 Datto I was gonna buy had 280,000 Eek! I want something to be My Parts haulin' Rig, and 4x4 for snow days, and dolly tow more Dattos! Radio Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Been working like a little Beaver on the Green 521 and Gray 620. Yellow I am Saving for Last, and will not be sparing a dollar on where I want to go with it. If I do the 4x4 Swap, It'll be under the 521.. Radio Quote Link to comment

RadioRedline Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Father-in-Law towed my truck to his Garage this morning. Working on 521 there (Heated) We blew out fuel line with compressor, changed one section out, installed new Fuel Filter, and Charged up Battery.He Cleaned the points, and checked for spark. He Adjusted the Idle Screw and Bam! I was off to the Races! I Drove to Canadian Tire than My Garage, and added some oil. I drove down the freeway, and it starts to sputter, bad and worse, and I had to hold gas and I flooded it. I Pushed it aside, got it running for a moment enough to turn it around properly. (after sitting so thats why im thinking its flooded) I Removed Battery to charge up.. I am Going back in 2 hrs and taking two charged up batteries with. I believe I should be able to make it back to my Garage then. Next He suggested was to change the Plugs. So I will do that later and maybe cab and rotor and wires, see what I get. But for a 30 minute period, I was in 521 Heaven! Heres a video of how it 'runs' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrCsox6CJmE Here are some Oics: Oh and heres a pic of a 280zx I saw on way home: Radio Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah in 1961, but the company's been passed around like a minor at a biker bar since then. Every owner just uses it for it's past good name. Today it's considered a cheaply made inferior POS Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah in 1961, but the company's been passed around like a minor at a biker bar since then. Every owner just uses it for it's past good name. Today it's considered a cheaply made inferior POS The local parts store has some Fram, Wix and Purolator oil filters 'dissected' The Fram is of no comparison to the others....pretty much garbage I'll snap a pic next time I'm there Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Got it towed back to my Garage. I'm thinking full tuneup, maybe a fuel pump too? I have one that came off my L20B 1980 720 so gonna get some rebuild gaskets in order.. Radio Quote Link to comment
