Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hey im using a Z car shifter in my 620 too ! Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 i like it... i had it the opposite way when i first put it in, so i didnt have to cut the console. when i got the new bushings, i cut the console and flipped it round. it takes a little more effort this way since i dont have the leverage i used to on it. the trans is mostly to blame on it tho... ive trashed the syncros it it..

Farmer Joe Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 alrighty! got a 4 day weekend.. got jason over to help with things. started today procrastinating till it warmed up a bit. got the front end apart.. heres a pic of behind the grill. dad had fixed the front end before i bought it. the 'new' engine. i was testing how the carb fit with the fuel inlet on the driver side. getting the l20 out. jasons making sure the negative cable doesnt short? i was thinking of making it run on propane, and hook it up to a generator. ha! the Z24 ready to toss in. mounted.. again with the cables... thats what came out of todays work... gonna get down on it tomorrow. got alot of small shit that needs to be done now. the main thing is getting an extension cable for the welder, and ill be set. more to come... 3 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 mkay, were back.. didnt get a whole lot done. got the extension cord, and got the welder working. have to unplug the dryer when i need to use it, but thats a fair price to pay. :lol: as of now, im trying to get the exhaust put together. the head pipe has turned out pretty damn well, for just scrap.. current status... ill get some more pics up tonight if we get anymore done.. gonna have it running and driving tomorrow.. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I assume the new one is on the right, looks good to me especially compared to the old one. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 yup.. :lol: the old one wasnt bad, it was the stupid flex pipe.. had a head start with this one using the stock headpipe. i ran out of welding wire just after the last post. i got the majority of the current new headpipe welded up. theres only going to be like 8in of flex pipe, so the rear section and the front section are separate. i got the shifter done. we also got the engine squared up in the frame. nano got the starter bolted on and hooked up. well get more done tomorrow. gonna call it a night.
