BayArea510 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 So why is the new HG?? Quote Link to comment
BayArea510 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Where did you get that manifold?? Did you re-weld? Too much weight without support? Quote Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Story of my life... Cracked manifold Fawk!!! You can't catch a break :( The car is looking awesome though. :) I'm sure you'll get all the bugs worked out soon. ;) Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Got the car back and I still am going to have to replace my exhaust manifold gasket.. The copper one has a small leak but for now I can deal with it. Other then that the car is running strong again :) got the HG replaced and no more leak. Also got the SAFC installed and my turn signals now work! Woohoo! Been toying with the idea but finally tried it put with some vinyl tape. I like it alot.

Tristin Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Car looks good... you should have followed the red stripe onto the rocker under the door though... its a bit weird that it just stops at the door. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hmmm, Day Two stripe huh? At least it's still better than the over done BRE stripes.... Coo :) Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Also seems your Yukachan line is backwards. Did you do both sides or just the one? Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Both sides Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Is that the official name for this style of stripe Tristin? I've just heard that it's also called a day two stripe.... Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Its a stripe, who cares what its called <_< Because its not just a stripe. Its like calling BRE stripes just stripes... Quote Link to comment
rusty12ver Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Reminds me of I think dukes car circa 2006 Shasta. I think he had a red and blue stripe going up over the roof. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Reminds me of I think dukes car circa 2006 Shasta. I think he had a red and blue stripe going up over the roof. Is that the car that had the same lines continuing into the interior? I remember a car with a red and blue stripe sewn into the interior and along the parcel tray in the back. Quote Link to comment
HEATHEN Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wow two and a half hours and 64% of battery life. This is a great read. I kept looking at the dates of the posts hoping it was going to run by end of it. Congratulations! Documented well. Enjoyed the videos too. The car looks and sounds great. I Have had my datsun down for 6 years. I towed it from my father in laws he had been working on it for 23. Your build has inspired me. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

It's been an amazing, fun, irritating, painful and expensive build but has been well worth every minute. Get yours back on the road it will feels so good to drive it after so many years ;) Quote Link to comment
