Guest DatsuNoob Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Dont pay indiot to even WASH your friggin car, he could fawk up an anvil with a rubber mallet Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 we need pics!!!!!! i personally would do the swap if funds allowed it check out the 710s unite thread in the other datsun section Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 First off, whats wrong with the L20? If its bad, smoking, knocking, etc. etc, then I would swap to the KA24DE. Otherwise, run the crap out of the L20 and start your build, your way. Then do the swap at your convenience... Oh, yeah, pics please... Quote Link to comment
Hello710 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 alright heres my pic and my L20b is runnin fine i was thinking about rebuilding it but with this damn 4 speed i cant outrun anything but a bicycle haha Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Five speeds aren't really quicker but they have an over drive to reduce high speed RPMs. 4th gear would out accelerate it anyway. Some 5 speeds have a lower 1st and 2nd for take offs but the lower they are the larger the RPM drop between shifts. If you want more go, find the differential from a '74 710. (has to be with an L18 automatic) These H-165-B differentials came with 4:11 gears versus the 3.889 in the standard tranny of the same year. All L20B motor 710s after '74 used the 3.70 rear ratio. Going from 3.70 to 4.11 would be a major increase in 'head snapping' shifts. :lol: Lowering the gear ratio in the differential will reduce mileage, although installing an over drive 5 speed would recoup some of this.

OpelWagenGT Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Nice! your car looks sick one picture though?!?!? we are picture whores here. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 we need pics of the whole car now lol and engine compartment and interior i have a question wanna sell the front air dam :D Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 If the L20B is a good runner, why not make sure the carburetion and ignition are in good order? I would go for a Weber and Electronic Ignition, and see if you can outrun the bicycle then... :) BTW, nice looking car! I want more shots from the front end (I haven't seen that grille before...)

sssr20det510 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 paint that blue fender red and swap it Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 i think something is up with your outer lights, they look like they are sitting a little low :blink: Quote Link to comment
Hello710 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 yeah i know i need to paint it.and the outer lights arent original lights theyre actually foglights haha but i will be replacing them with the originals soon. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 what year is it ? before you go hog wild on it remember your in cali and if its a 76 or newer you have to smog it that said looks like a clean car i like it i personally would remove the the rubber strip along the body thats to prevent shopping cart damage and if there is no smog throw a weber and a header on it open up the exhaust to 2 1/4 with a magnaflow on the end of it this is what it will sound like and it is a considerable improvment over stock im also running a matchbox dizzy Quote Link to comment
Hello710 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 well it is a 77 so i do need to smog but ill just find somebody that will do it for the right price i guess .as soon as i make a little money i will start fixin it up and hopefully be going with a ka24 someone told me to put a 1jz supra engine??

bonvo Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 no supra motors this is a nissan lol Quote Link to comment
Hello710 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 haha thats what im saying lol Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 i personally vote vg30e Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 alright guys well here are the rest of the pics i have.give me opinions on what i should do??thanks:) This grille is awesome. FTW, I love the look As for the headlights - yeah...the outers need the real deal, not foglights. A simple check of volts at each headlight will be a good indicator if they are dim. Ground each separately; they run to one (usually corroded) ground lug. Good runner if the engine is strong. Check compression, and get the Electronic Distributor (beings that it is a '77, it will have the remote transistorized ignition, but it has its faults). Get the Matchbox Distributor, and gap the plugs to .044, and find a shop that will "handle your smog needs"... Clean 710, looking forward to watching this one get built! Quote Link to comment
Hello710 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 yeah man thanks for the info and what is the vg30 from?and do you know its specs?or could you give me some info on it? Quote Link to comment
