baycity720 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I recently acquired an '85 pickup from my grandfather. The truck is in excellent condition other than normal wear. It has 77k original miles on it, and has never been wrecked and always under a carport, so there is 0 rust on it. I have several questions I hope to get answered on here. As I am new to vintage Nissans. I am currently building an s14 RB25DET as my street/race car, and have been building imports for 15 years. I want to get the truck up and running good first, then address the interior, and finally wheels, tires, and maybe a little more low. Here are pics of it before I touched it. I will post pics later after it's cleaned up. What is the lug pattern, and has anyone considered converting to a 5 lug hub from a Z car? I want some ballin' old skool JDM wheels for it, but I would have to go 5 lug to get anything cool. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I see no oics.... As for rims, you can get some pretty cool ones in 6lug. I cant recall what the measurements are off the top of my head but it is the same as the titans and frontier. There is a whole thread on rims, 6 lug even if I am not mistaken. And of course we now have a wheel and tire section on ratsun... I think :blink: Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 You can dress up the dash with the optional clock and tach. . Quote Link to comment
baycity720 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 where could i find a gauge cluster with the tach and clock? Also, what components do you all use to lower these trucks? Does someone like Belltech make blocks for the rear? How do you lower the front? Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 You can add the clock and tach to your existing cluster. Elec plugins are there...just need to drill a hole for the clock adjustment rod. I have both 4 sale....shoot me an offer Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Standard drop blocks for the rear and crank the torsion bars up front. Theres a writeups and pics for the front in the FAQ in my sig. Quote Link to comment
