datsunfreak Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 That color looks like my dog's puke! :lol: FWIW, it won't be that color, it will be a brighter orange. :P If you get a chance, I need an engine cross member, the piece that the emergency brake cable attaches to on the left side with the spring. Mine disappeared while I was doing the rear swap. No spare engine crossmembers at the moment. May have that other bit, but not 100% sure which bit you mean? Also if you don't need it I could use the rear yoke off your parts car drive shaft, but I need that ASAP! If you can get it cut off I'm willing to pay for next day air. FYI, the u-joints are non-serviceable in these driveshafts. Unless you know someone who can machine the yokes for replaceable joints, or are planning to weld the two halves together without replacing the joints, it might be tough. If you're still game after that, I'll see what I can do. Link to comment
CWhip Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Wish you weren't so far away I'd swap you front ends! I've got an extra grill and fenders for the squares. Got them just in case someone smashed into me. Link to comment

If you're still game after that, I'll see what I can do. The part goes behind the brake backing plate, and connects to the parking brake arm with a pin, the other end hooks to the cable that runs across behind the rear axle, and it has a return spring that goes between the backing plate and the part I need. I think I have a ghost in my house because both pieces fell off both sides while I was cleaning up the rear axle, and the other side was right under the cable, but the drivers side is no where to be found. I spent an hour and a half last night moving everything around in my looking for it, and can't find it. As for the drive shaft, I will talk to the drive shaft shop tomorrow, and see what they say. If they can't provide me with a yoke that will work, I'll let you know. My second 620 was bright orange with black stripes, and it looked killer. I don't know why Datsun dropped that color, I thought it was one of the best, they also went from bright canary yellow to that ugly mustard yellow witch I can't stand. Your 210 would look killer competition orange with black BRE stripes, just an idea. :cool: Link to comment

But take a pic of the other side, just to be 100% sure. ;) My second 620 was bright orange with black stripes, and it looked killer. Your 210 would look killer competition orange with black BRE stripes, just an idea. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of this color, with a satin black hood and wiper cowl. That's the plan this week any way. :P Link to comment

Lol Also just FYI but that 4 light grill verified will fit/ bolt in to the round fronts seen it done. Know you like the squares though just an idea ha Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 just FYI but that 4 light grill verified will fit/ bolt in to the round fronts seen it done. But it won't line up with the early hood. Which would annoy the shit out of me. :P Might line up good with the late hood? May have to mix and match... Link to comment

May have to mix and match... That's a good point... Or should I say a hood point ha. I ran Into that issue when I was looking to shark nose it... The middle dip between the lights looks good butdefibately would make it odd. Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 shoot me a price shipped up here to OKC....i cant talk myself into the 6hr round trip lol just for some tails Will do. Got some parts in the mail today! :cool: New JDM side markers New JDM turn signals And my bumpers shipped out today, so they should be here on Monday! :hyper: Or course the down side is that those side markers are for an early round-eye car. So... :blink: It's either sell them on, or go back to the round-eye front. :sweat: If I can get that JDM round-eye grill from Lonestar, the decision is already made... :cool: Link to comment

Davec Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hey how did the ship you bumpers, regular postal, sal, dhl? tried to order and they quoted me $600 in freight. Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey how did the ship you bumpers, regular postal, sal, dhl? tried to order and they quoted me $600 in freight. I cut them in half and sent them regular post. :P $350+ to ship whole, $85 to ship cut in half. The whole thing ended up being a lot cheaper than I was quoted. Basically both bumpers shipped to my door (albeit cut in half) was around $400. :thumbup: I think to ship them whole they had to go DHL, which was probably the price you were quoted. Link to comment
