[Grey_Matter]

im going to the yards today i will be on the lookout for the 77-79 200sx

[Grey_Matter]

didnt find a single thing i needed at the yards...found only one carb, but the linkage was on the wrong side

[Grey_Matter]

i fixed all of the lights on the truck today, so all i need to pass inspection is a carb and tranny....i found a carb on CL in riverside, but it was kind of an old post, so hopefully he gets back to me.

im still gonna try to put it in my name without out it being driveable...the worst they can say is no...right?...lol

I hope you get this 620 on the road again soon, Good luck with the DMV.

i got a hookup on a rebuilt stock carb and a 4spd tranny...so i can feasibly have it road ready this weekend.

 

im gonna attempt the dmv in the morning....

 

once i have it registered i can ship skunk his lights and plates.

hopefully my roommate left an envelope on my nightstand since i already made the house payment and can send skunk his paypal as well

I have both the monkey motion trans and the later model long tail if you need it...

im new to Datsuns (sort of been away from them for 20 years) what is a monkey motion? and are either of them 5 speed?

i am picking up the 4 speed from the guy i got my carb from on saturday, but i'd much rather have a 5 speed

[Grey_Matter]

update:

installed the factory/stock carb and adjusted it, the truck now purrs like a kitten....a kitten with a stutter, but a kitten none the less.

time to go buy a timing light :lol:

[nukeday]

Good onya'. The decency of Ratsun has once again been poured over this truck. Thank goodness the only drama now is which tranny you want...

 

Nice save, skunk deserved better and so did the truck. B)

[Grey_Matter]

projectors are on their way for the truck...i cant wait, too bad our low beams are dual filiment, which means my low beams are gonna be brighter than my high beams, cause i am going HID with the projectors.

 

any pointers on removing the old tranny?

and i need torque specs for the installation of the new tranny/clutch (if its worn)

[Grey_Matter]

before i left for work today i went out to the garage and modded my low beam headlight buckets for the installation of the projectors when they get here (i used one of Skunk's lights as a template.) so when the lights get here all i'll have to do is trim the mounts off the lights. once the lights are in im gonna look for the smallest optima red top i can find and see if it will clear the projector housing

 

dont worry skunk i didnt do anything to your light :)

[skunk]

you may have to put the battery in a box in the bed,

[Grey_Matter]

you may have to put the battery in a box in the bed,

 

that what i was thinking also....but theres some smaller batteries that just might work, i dont need alot of CCA because it rarely drops below 50 degrees here

[Grey_Matter]

tranny is out, i inspected the clutch and it looks to be in awesome shape, i am going to replace the throwout bearing because when it was stuck in gear it seems to have gotten some damage, the fingers look goos and the pressure plate looks new.

 

 

i also installed my projectors:

[datzenmike]

If it was towed the tranny seized? Wouldn't be stuck in gear?

[Jassifrass]

I really just love that you have this truck now. :D

[izzo]

someone leave it in gear while they were towing it?

[Grey_Matter]

thats exactly what its doing...its stuck in a gear.

 

no matter new tranny is going in tomorrow.

[Grey_Matter]

just got done installing a new battery and cleaning up the wiring a little. eventually im gonna be removing all the unused wiring....but thats a long way off.

 

i checked on the availability of a throw out bearing and according to autozone they cant even order one because their supplier is out of stock

[skunk]

check http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php
