I shoulda hit you up to hang out! I'm thinking of moving up there... What's the job market like? And how strict is OR on modified cars? I absolutely LOVED how many old cars and trucks are still rolling around up there! Yea ya shoulda! its nice around here. The Job market is typical small town, your gonna have to commute to the larger citys if ya wanna make any money. As far as I know their is no restrictions with modifyed cars, I know we dont have to smog cars here. and housing is pretty cheap right now. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 so are you still using the torsion bar sway bar mod on this? howd that end up workin? Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 It works way better than I expected. Honestley I thought it would be way to much, but it seems good. I only got 200lb springs up front. you can really feel the chassis stiffen up when ya get into a corner hard. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The striping looks great. Nice touch! Where did you get the hardware, brackets, and bracing for your rear end in the car? Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I built everything under the rear of the car the only thing I bought was bushings and heim joints and springs shocks Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 any one got a diagram for aftermarket relays for the headlight circuit? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Kinda, I did it for hooking up my BMW lights. Except with those, they dont have high beams in addition, that that is ok. Red/Black is low beam ground Red/White is high beam ground You should be able to just run the Bulb connectors in place of the one shown. If you need any further description, feel free to ask. I can make a new diagram for low/high with the proper colors, or for a different headlight setup. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Glad to catch up on this one tonight. Hats off to you. This is a bad mambajamba! Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks fellas its been pretty much daily driven and I havent had a single issue yet. Sometimes I get a clicky starter which I think I need to put a relay on the starter circuit. And theirs a super annoying buzzing rattle coming from the haych or roof, not sure which but its hella annoying! Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yeah, welcome to the wagon buzz. I have been fighting the buzz for a long time. I think I got all of them now. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Only buzzes for me are the rods for the door handles behind the door cards, and the rear hatch hinge cover. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Mine is so loud and annoying im almost certain its the roof. But I dont wanna rip the headliner down just yet. Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 @Jesusno2 Nice wagon! The flat olive drab is bad ass, gives it a crazy urban assault look. Those RBs are also a great choice imo, especially with the polished lip. I did have a question about the engine, I've been thinking about what engine to swap into my wagon as a little bit of an upgrade from the stock L16. I've noticed that you have a 12 valve KA24e, which seems to be the swap of choice for many people, but I've been lead to believe that the 16 valve KA24de is a better motor and was wondering if you had some insight into how the 12 valve runs and its reliability. I really want to go for a KA24de n/a just because it makes more torque than the n/a SRs. Any personal insight would be a great help! Your wagon is kick-ass! Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Well the single cams are cheap. I traded a l20 for this ka and bought another blown up ka for the harness intake etc. Did a quick re ring job and hand lapped the valves, with new guides, and valve seals timing chain etc. I like the torque of the single cam, and its just less moving parts. The 16v is a great motor also it just delivers its power differently. Either engine you decide on is your choice. I just kinda had the single cam stuff fall in my lap so I went with it. If you plan to keep it N/A then the single cam is a pretty easy swap wiring wise, if you plan on turbo charging etc its kinda a pain with the fairly primitive ecu, but it can be done. Maybe this summer I will have the money to put some boost to this engine, but right now I just drive it. Quote Link to comment
