Icehouse Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Keep the progress coming. When are we going to wire it :) Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well, I wanna wire it asap, but moeny's been a little tight with X-mas, the cooper needing a brake job, and everything as well as forkin out money trying to button all the little things up. Seems like some of the last minute details and odds and ends are nickel and diming me to death, and I've been trying not to dip into the wiring guy's payment pool ;) Payday comes again on the 31st, hoping to have everything I need to do, done by then. I have to go get battery cables made, get an upper rad hose worked out (still not sure which to use for an exact fit, or if there even is one, probably gonna be a flex). Still gotta bleed the clutch, bolt down the insp cover, install that spacer, oil the trans, put in heater core, and a couple other little silly things. Probably got a day or 2 more in the garage wrapping all these things up. I'll call you directly after. Thanks Jeff. :D Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Where's the Hamm's button? I havent found one to fit yet, and sadly, I think I'm the only enthusiastic Hamm's fan where I live. :no: :crying: :( Quote Link to comment

burrito213 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Here's my 1st shot at using a tubing bender, not perfect, but not too shabby. Coulda been a hair longer to hide the elbow, but I dont care really. If it bothers me that bad it can be easily fixed later, I just wanna function for now. I was pretty happy with how it landed down the trans tunnel the way it did though. I know everyone's lovin my overspray and unfinished filler action too :lol: :fu: I opted for a banjo fitting on the other end. It's something that can be reused easily and makes for a nice fit here IMO Here's the start of my fuel return line too. Got a couple more bends to make and a couple others to tweak a little, but it's coming together and is alot of fun to do. sorry to bring all these pics back but what tubing bender did you use????

Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Shittsburg special from Harbor Freight :lol: Just a simple brake line bender, nothing fancy. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I havent found one to fit yet, and sadly, I think I'm the only enthusiastic Hamm's fan where I live. :no: :crying: :( Damn dude, cheer up. It must be awesome to live in a place like that where you're surrounded by nothing but women. Quote Link to comment

78B210GTX Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 i havent found a beer i dont like, hamms is decent better than most light bitter beers., Great job on the 620 build NOOB!! looking like alot of progressive will sure pay off, rather than just throwing it all together half ass. cant wait to see it finished. keep up the good work bro!

dat77sun Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 like i said before coors light FTW!!!! but anyways, cant wait to c the 620 done, are you gonna make it to canby? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 ^^^hahaha^^^ im not a hamms fan, but ill drink it if its cold Best served at room temp(or whatever it reads in the trunk of the Datsun) ;) Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm trying so hard to make it for Canby! It's really a matter of wires and that's it. Spoke with Icehouse earlier last week about it and he's got somethiing up his sleeve he's been working on for a little while in the works. I really cant wait! Even if I'm there in a half-ass shined up bucket of bolts with 4 bald tires :D Hamm's really is good at room/trunk temperature btw. ...but dont take my word for it Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 any updates noob? Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nothing to terribly exciting, just hooked up my brand new Nissan heater hoses, got the heater box bolted in, etc. The neck on a KA is 3/4", 620 is 5/8" so had to adapt it. Just finishing up little odds and ends, hardly anything pic worthy. Looking forward to getting closer to hearing it run though. About a week I guess :) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 everything is picworth man, everything... Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 About a week I guess :) I think we heard this a couple of years ago.. :blink: Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'll have to get some new ones up then, it's all just little details. Didnt wanna be the guy that posted everytime he tossed in a new bolt :lol: I'm gonna work on redoing brake lines next probably. Should be pretty easy now that I kinda know what I'm doing :D Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Your posts sound alot more optimistic and that is a good thing.. Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think we heard this a couple of years ago.. :blink: I know I know, shit happens I guess. My old wiring dude took some dough and split after doing up a half ass job. Jeff's gonna come in an rip it out, start over fresh with a new little goodie he's been working on, that by the sounds of thnigs simplifies things a little. I'm really excited! If anyone can do it, it'll most likely be Jeff. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 well posting every time you put a new bolt in is kinda lame, but i just went over your thread and theres not really that many pictures over the course of this project :D Hell maybe i should just show up to some of your parties and see it Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 yeah Izzo, I usually just get to working without taking too many pics. Unfortunately I have to use a borrowed cam from the gf, so usually I end up just doing stuff and wishing I had it :lol: I'll start posting moar oics! Quote Link to comment
