yello620 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Is the noise possibly a timing problem and you are hearing a serious detonation problem?? Jason Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Nah... Everything runs ok.... It does not backfire or nothing like that but when it idles the engine shakes and trembles... So its not running smooth... kind of like this .... RRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr BRom Brom RRRRRRRRrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brom rborm rborm RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Brom RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR It shakes on the broms... When I'm driving it goes like this... First gear with the foot on the floor.... RRR! all the way but with this constant CLink clink clink!! But idling is ok.... well until u rev it hard! :lol: SO pretty much when the engine is forced the clinking comes in... HELP! Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sounds like a lifter:confused:? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I guess I will have to take to get the lifters adjusted. Almost all the engines this truck has had have been making this weird noise... Especial the first one this one came with! But that one just a POS..... Last time I think I got the valves adjusted and it went away... But not to sure since the engine blew out like three days later.... Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Well I had a one day pass so I took her on the FWY.... It handles well.... But what scared me the most was that the temp was registering hot! I pulled over and opened the rad cap... No explosion and the water was hot but not skin burning. I later learned that when I turn on the lights, the Temp will skyrocket. I also used a 160 deg thermostat... So I really think its just registering wrong. Another problem I got to fix I guess. I raced my bros 240sx and well my 620 was keeping up! The problem is that I shift too early since the engine is still new and I have no rpm tach.... Maybe once I break her in, I can take him out! I think it would of made it too the meet after all... Peace! Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Good to hear shes up and running:cool:! Running Hot? Do you have a fan shroud? EBay has a stock 620 tach up for grabs:) Or, Maybe a good "SunPro" Tach should work pretty well:)! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 the sunpro ones work fine ive never had an issue with mine Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 the sunpro ones work fine ive never had an issue with mine ....just as long as you use the "mount" that comes with 'em! I tried to glue mine in the stock location, bounced all over like a trampoline!:eek: Seriously though, a $35 tach buys you extra "peace of mind" for a new motor, that way you KNOW you aren't over/under revving it, instead of just "guesstimating" Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) After a while I have done a few things to my truck. Installed 620 tach, kenwood "shaft" tape player, and some 6.5 infinity speakers. Still not perfect since odo plastic frame broke. So today I sent it to the electric shop and the only thing wrong that the electrican could see was a busted horn relay and a bad battery. 50 bucks later a new battery and a new relay I was hauling ass down the 710. 100MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went to long beach and back a couple of times just cus. Then I decided to go to the junk yard and a found a perfect odo plastic frame that I will install later. So yeah. Moving and my camera broke when I was recording my 100mph... So I'll update more once I move and have more time and cash. Edited November 9, 2008 by Motavated Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Kool...you got her running!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 It can't be running too bad - 100mph ! :eek: Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah man!!!! Thanks!!!!! Running good but still needs some brake/suspension/and clutch work. Just got a new steering wheel for my truck and I have planned on buying the autobot horn button and the Bee-otch air freshner. I plan on painting some black rally stripes. That way I can drive it being trashy... Plus its going to look tight just cus its going to be looking like Bumblebee from transformers... TIGHT!!! huck hiuck hick!!! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I have planned on buying the autobot horn button where would you buy one ? i would want a decepticon one though Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ebay has them. I have been looking for the horn on the internet recently but I could not find one. Ebay is your only bet. They were lots of different sellers with diffrent styles when the movie came out. But now there are only two types. To save some cash I will just try to find a "gel" type sticker and keep my stock horn button and just replace stickers. But I cant find them!!! The bee-otch air freshner is on ebay for 10 buxs!!!! You can get them of some internet webpage for 3 buxs... Just keep looking man!!! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Found out while driving it that the turn signals have a short some were. Its charging the ground? I can touch metal and it shocks me. I took of that fuse for the turn signals and the truck was reving higher like if it was advanced or something. My guess is that since the ground was charged. It was not getting enough power to the spark plug? So when I took of that fuse it drives 50X better!. I guess I have to take it back to the electrician again... Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Mine shocks me to all the time. Is that what this could be? the ground charging? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah man. Something is messed up in both of our trucks. Pull of all the fuses and turn on the truck. Does the engine sound better? Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Found out while driving it that the turn signals have a short some were. Its charging the ground?

OMFG :lol: :lol: :lol: very sorry... but I have a VERY funny picture of this in my head... I can just imagine looking over at the guy in the datsun next to me and he looks like hes having a seizure or something. :D Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 That would be pretty funny! But its more of like a 9 volt Jolt that you feel when you place a small batt in your tongue. I dont know what is wrong... But everything! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 sent a note to datzenmike but I'll post it here if anyone can send me some advice. Its going to be a long.... LONG STORY! Please help! Mkay. I took my car to the electrician and well he fixed the horn relay and checked for any shorts. He then let me go. While I was driving her the other day at night. The headlight fuse "top left" was getting really hot! Weird! And the fuse wont pop! It feels like its going to melt the fuse box. Only get hot when the lights are on. Then there is this other fuse "bottom left" that I think powers the turn signals and the temp/gas reader. When I disconnect that fuse the car seems to run much better! And when I install the fuse back. It seems to lose power. It also I think causes to shock me when I touch metal. How can I fix that hot head light fuse? I heard from a electrician that its not getting enough power and maybe the ends might be burnt. That is what is causing it to get hot. And that the electrican wants to run direct power, a wire from the batt to the fuse to stop it from getting hot. And the Bottom left fuse that powers the turn signals and gas and temp readers. That one is all messed up. I got to figure that one out. What advice can you give me? Thanks! I figure that I should do a headlight rewire with bosch relays to fix that hot fuse. But if there is a simpler solution, please speak up.... I'm still a noob.... Quote Link to comment
homewrecker Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 painless wiring kit would be a nice upgrade and fix all of that crap lol Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah I was looking into it and it costs around 300 buxs. I could use that for something else. But for a last resort, I guess I will have too... Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 OMFG :lol: :lol: :lol: very sorry... but I have a VERY funny picture of this in my head... I can just imagine looking over at the guy in the datsun next to me and he looks like hes having a seizure or something. :D I started busting up laughing when I read this post :lol: Anyways, So take all the fuses out and see if the engine sounds better?

motavated Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well I went to the yard and got a new fuse holder from a 1978 truck. Cleaned the copper with lemon and then sand it down. Spliced the new harness in and fuse holder and well it seems like it stopped overheating the fuse box. So I had it running for like 15 minutes with all the lights on and no overheating. I guess this solved one of my problems. I still need to find out what is shocking me!!! Its now safer to drive... I guess. :lol: Quote Link to comment
