Cleopatra Jones Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ok just chatted with my mechanic. Nothing is wrong with the hoses but he has to take them off to get the a/c in and he wants to be prepared in case they break. I sent him the parts diagram so he could tell me which hoses. It was 54 and 55. He said he thinks he can get 54 cause it's just a L but 55 might pose a problem. I don't need anything yet but if one of you all knows if I can get one do let me know. Part numbers are: 54) 27182-H8500 55) 27185-H9100 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 It the orig is not useable you might have to piece on together out of different hoses and sleeves. Not impossible, just might not be pretty. Luckily it will be in Stanley's insides and out of sight, kinda like your intestines B) Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 You can also bend one up out of metal tube and just connect it at each end with a length of rubber. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 So far the hoses are fine. My mechanic just wants to see if they're available in case. Which I get. We are dealing with 36 year old parts. I may have found a couple of places that have NOS hoses. I'll be calling them tomorrow. Not a bad idea Lockleaf. I'll definitely keep that in mind and let my mechanic know just in case. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Found the hoses at a couple different Nissan dealers out of state. Ordered this morning since they were so cheap. I have them just in case. Can't believe someone had them. It's like Christmas! Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 If you're going to keep Stanley for life... You might want to buy an extra #55 hose, or keep your original without cutting it B) Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Oh I'm definitely keeping him for life. I'm sure he'll outlast me. I planned on buying an extra one but the other dealer didn't have it :( My mechanic will do what he can to salvage parts but you know. Stuff is old. Quote Link to comment
Daryl Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Man I'd dig A/C but don't want to molest er. So... I'll keep my sauna instead. Still awesome! Question: I'm currently dealing with getting the heater working. Do you know if the dash has to be removed for the entire heater assembly to be taken out for diagnosis? 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I don’t think so. Maybe just the radio/gauge cluster has to be removed. I’ve taken the dash apart many times but right now I can’t remember if anything else has to be removed first. You may have to start with the glove box and work your way over. 1 Quote Link to comment

Question: I'm currently dealing with getting the heater working. Do you know if the dash has to be removed for the entire heater assembly to be taken out for diagnosis? What is your heater doing or not doing? i’d drain the coolant and remove & inspect just the heater control valve if it is accessible before removing parts of the dash. They are typically seized open or shut, and can cause a number of problems. Quote Link to comment
Dirtyowlnumber4 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 My '76 2 door i bought for $50, saving up some money to get a paintjob and wheels before I start making modifications to the engine and suspension. http://imgur.com/a/l54xz Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Radio, glove box, trim pieces, heater controls, ash tray then heater hoses and heater box should be able to come out. Probably plugged core or valve broke or not hooked up. Quote Link to comment
Daryl Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 What is your heater doing or not doing? Heater control valve opened up nicely. No issue there. It's just to clean out debris like leafs. Quote Link to comment
JDOM310 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hey guys anyone ever come across a thread on anyone who has installed a 280z L28 into 210? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Daryl Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hey guys anyone ever come across a thread on anyone who has installed a 280z L28 into 210? Thanks I'd imagine it's too long an engine to fit without cutting firewall, etc. L16/L18/L20b do fit with minimal work I've seen. KA/SR do as well. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hey guys anyone ever come across a thread on anyone who has installed a 280z L28 into 210? Thanks I sincerely hope not. ^_^ As he said, it's about 8-10" too long to fit in the engine bay. Even an L16/L18/L20b is a bit of a squeeze. Quote Link to comment
0r0B210 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I sincerely hope not. ^_^ As he said, it's about 8-10" too long to fit in the engine bay. Even an L16/L18/L20b is a bit of a squeeze. Not a rebuttal...just sharing some cool possibilities. Old but, interesting. RB in a 120Y 4-door. https://youtu.be/xkfSqsiPA1s Quote Link to comment

RB in a 120Y 4-door. https://youtu.be/xkfSqsiPA1s I would at this stage point out that an RB is shorter in length than an L28, and the engine bay of a B210 is longer than that of a B310. But that is cool. ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Update: So now that the car is all apart and my mechanic is getting the a/c installed I stopped by the shop this morning to have a look and noticed that Stanley does in fact have the indicator area for the a/c. Who knew! My dumb ass didn't see it before. I'm going to have to source out the plug and bulb but just thought I'd let everyone know the discovery. Not Stanley's radio cluster but this is the indicator and plug I'm talking about. And my NOS heater hoses showed up last week. Didn't need them as Stanley's hoses were still good but these are nice to have as backup just in case. Meanwhile, I may need to find vent hoses. Not sure yet. To be continued....... 1 Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Where did you get the long hose from? Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 It came from a dealer in Missouri. It is the last one in existence as far as I know. Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I would at this stage point out that an RB is shorter in length than an L28, and the engine bay of a B210 is longer than that of a B310. But that is cool. ^_^ Not a rebuttal...just sharing some cool possibilities. Old but, interesting. RB in a 120Y 4-door. https://youtu.be/xkfSqsiPA1s Just to point it out. That B210 is a JDM GX....longer hood and fender the radiator support is as big as a table...lots of room for just about any engine. Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Only the PB210 would have a longer frontend to make room for the L14, otherwise there be no difference in body dimensions between jdm b210 and usdm b210s. Only pb210 vs b210 would have a chassis difference. Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 A JDM B210 GX is a PB210 genious. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Um...but not all B210s in Japan are PBs. Blanketed statement doesn't really cover all the bases on this one. And you spelled genius wrong, genius. 3 Quote Link to comment
