Rat720 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm new to the whole Datsun/Nissan scene, all ive ever owned(im 19) are Chevy Camaros and 2 c10s. But im loving my Nissan 720, although i call it a Datsun lol. just bought it 2 months ago, has the z24, planning on doing a Ka swap, so far all ive done is straight 2 1/4 pipe with a glasspack out the back, everything else is cosmetic so far. Paint, tint, lowered 4 inches in the back and 5 in the front. still need to get wheels and tires, also going to be doing a sunroof. just did a gauge cluster swap out of a 4x4 for the factory tach (pullapart, $25, Very happy!!) So, what do yall think so far?? Thanks Oh, I love this website!!! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Nice.... Interior pix needed. I like the later boxes without the rusty seams. Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Good job painting it mang! And welcome to Ratsun! Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm probably going one of two ways, either 18" titans, or some moons. But not really a huge deal, just want some that look good. Thanks, its krylon spraypaint :-). Same way I did my 2 c10s flatblack. Ill get an interior pic up tonight. Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 heres the interior, nothing done other than like i said the gauge cluster swap, i got the center console out of the same ext. cab 4x4, painted the dash and doors black. now awaiting bucket seats. what car would be the best donor for easy fit buckets? thanks Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Nice clean truck :cool: Damn 720's look so good lowered! Especially the smooth bed L8r 1's. It even looks cool with the hubcaps :rolleyes: Should av went with SATIN black tho. Keep us posted on the updates. Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks, and the hubcaps are no longer on, those pictures are it lowered 3 in the back and 5 in the front, sense i lowered the back to 4 it looks dencent with just the steelies. And sense i still have to do afew more coats of paint, i was already planning on sanding it down and doing satin black. :-) Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I know some of you(or a lot)lol. won't like this, but just finished the homemade flamethrower install. I ran the coil to the back and is connected to the power of one of the ignition coils and ran through a switch on my center console, then the coil is connected to a ngk plug in the pipe. Then I used the windshield cleaner assembly from under the hood, using the reservoir under the bed to hold the gas, and the motor hooked up to a push button in my center console, and hose going to a hole about 8" before the plug in the pipe. Start truck, flip switch, rev alittle, push button, get fire!! Will upload pics tonight Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I Loave that shit, thats right in the Rasun Wheelhouse!! You should look into adding Air to the system aswell as gas, it will make the flames WAY better! Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 hmm, how long till he shows the wrong person and his car get impounded... Taking bets now. Or lights his ass on fire. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Gotta check the Laws in his local area. Im betting that as long as he only does it on private property, its legal! Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yea, haven't checked the laws yet, but like pumpkn said I should be fine, I'm not panning on doing it on the street anyways. Lol. *update* This sucks, I only sprayed afew times and the pump isn't working, when I have someone push the button I can hear it click like its trying to turn but not happening. Could the gas have caused this? Should I go ahead and buy a little electric fuel pump from autozone for this job? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Possibly, You should check the whole fuel system. The tailpipe getts REALLY HOT at running speeds and could have melted the hose! I would use a fuel pump and a fuel injector or something of the sort, and definately a one way valve to make sure the exhaust doesnt blow carbon in and plug up the shit! Like I said I would add air via a emission air pump ran off the belts to make the flame bigger and the right colour! ;) Quote Link to comment
Rat720 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah, gotta wait till payday next week. Lol. And yea ill definitely figure out a way to get air in it too. :-) Quote Link to comment
