jackassllc Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hello all, Cracked open my new 65 l320 today. I have my work cutout for me!!! Looks like rats set up a home in the carburetor and air filter for the last twenty years. Oh well, anyway I am going to have the carb rebuilt, my engine seems in pretty good shape for not having been run since 1986. My brake and clutch slave cylinders, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a rebuild. Does anyone know of a rebuild kit for these? I assume they are original, the brake is a Nabco 3/4, the clutch a Nabco 5/8. Also I drained the oil and transmission fluid. What oil should I put back in, and I assume it doesn't matter for transmission fluid? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I am new to the Datsun world. Quote Link to comment

jackassllc Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ya rats. Someone had put on a after market air filter, rats had eaten through the filter nestled into the carb, making a nice home. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Are you planning on any brake upgrades? If you are, I wouldn't waste any money trying to save the stock master brake cylinder, as if you upgrade to disk brakes you will likely upgrade the master also. My NL320 has front disc brakes, and a dual circut brake system also. Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Maybe you guys should install an exercise wheel in the engine compartment, ya might find a little more RAT power. Quote Link to comment
jackassllc Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think I am going to keep the original brakes for now. I would like to keep the original components including tracking down a original air filter cover, if anyone has an extra they would like to sell. Quote Link to comment
