Did you get those lights off ebay? 

 

I can't seem to find those anywhere... Maybe I'm just searching the wrong words...   :hmm:

 

Ebay Australia, don't think they are for sale anymore though... Not too uncommon considering most every aus spec 610 got these turn signals... They are sexy as hell

Or eBay.co.uk...

Datsunfreak - The AU and UK lights have the square connectors for the lights...your connectors will be round and will require re-wiring. 

 

 

Plug n play  ;)

 

 

Plug and Play for those of us with '73 harnesses, you might say...

Was going through some recent pics today and found this one; not really an update, but a recent pic.

Oh ok, fine. Here's something a little more "Project Thread" worthy..

Mad props to jesusno2 on flipping this crossmember for me. Sexy welds along with some gussets he threw on for extra stability. You're the man!

Decided that the factory coin tray was cool and all, but I wanted something more than the hum of the L18 to listen to(not that there's anything wrong with that). There's nothing sexier than a stock looking interior, so I opted to keep it factory in appearance.

The guts of the factory 610 AM radio(in case you were curious). A bit different then that of the 510, so I needed to reinvent the wheel that was provided in the "How To" section on modifying a factory 510 radio for MP3 use(http://community.ratsun.net/topic/55621-make-yer-very-own-aux-input/)

In the 510's radio, the wires you're looking for are the Blue, Red, Yellow, and Brown coming off the volume/tone potentiometers. In the 610 radio, there are Green, Yellow, and Black wires, with different style potentiometers, so I had to do a little more testing and trial before I got it right.

 

Seen here is the cluster of wires in the 610 radio that come off of the volume/tone potentiometer.

Just like the Red wire on the 510 radio, you're going to want to "T" into the Green wire on the 610 radio. They are polarity sensitive, so be sure that you run the Black wire that goes to your shunt to the potentiometer side of the circuit. The Red wire to the shunt ties into the other end.

Be sure to solder and shrink wrap your connections.

I like to have too much wire rather than too little, so I routed the excess neatly in the casing.

Ran the wires out of the case through a small hole that wouldn't pinch the wires..

All that was left was finding a ground and installing.

I'm satisfied with the finished product.

Last night after work, I had a few minutes to do some housekeeping.

There was some junk in the grille, stuck in the radiator, so this gave me a chance to get at it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I figured while I was at it, I'd see how this old thing fit in there ;)
