zhent Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have no opinion on the Goon Squad sticker thing... Just wanted to show the most recent photo of mine... Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 looks good! how is that R spoiler mounted? it would hide all the damage on my hatch perfectly :blink: Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Zhent is that a Blazer rear spoiler? Looks good & very subtle...:D Quote Link to comment
zhent Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The rear spoiler is from a 1986 Subaru GL wagon... It's aluminum and I tapped mounting holes and mounted it with Stainless steel sheet metal screws... In the pic it looks white, but it's polished aluminum. Originally it was black, but the Texas sun ate that paint... Quote Link to comment

zhent Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 non-datsun owners don't even know it's not original, and it helps keep the rear window clean at speed. Quote Link to comment
LeX Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have a 72 as well. Zhent, why do our taillights look so different lol? Dunno if mine are from 72 or what. Are those euro lights? http://i30.tinypic.com/28v5z7.jpg Quote Link to comment
zhent Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 yep, mine are the euro lights, and the reflectors under them have been shaved... along with the license lights, the vents and the rear door handles... I had the euros up front, but they were cracked and faded, so put the US lenses back on until I can get a new set of the euro lenses Quote Link to comment

Did you have to rewire your tail lights cause of the Euro lenses? We remove the euro lenses cause it just didn't match up with brake, turn signal and running lights. Quote Link to comment

If you buy the euro housing and lens you don't have to rewire anything. I assume he has the whole set up. Just like the front euro turn lenses. They don't look quite right when you turn em on with out the euro housing. Quote Link to comment

The previous owner did it. I've been in to look at the wiring and it actually appears he just got the lenses and re-wired the housing for it. It all works, but I had to add a baffle between the turn signal and brake because there was a lot of bleed over between them. If you buy the euro housing and lens you don't have to rewire anything. I assume he has the whole set up. Just like the front euro turn lenses. They don't look quite right when you turn em on with out the euro housing. Up front I have the euro housings, no re-wiring required, just plug them in. Though the driver's side lens was separated between the white and amber, so I pulled them for the stock ones. I had a fairly clean set sitting on the shelf so it wasn't an issue. There are other priorities, but I'll get another set of the euro front lenses at some point. they just complete the look...

But didn't know about the wagon tail light housing to be different. Do you have pictures of these euro tail light housing? Quote Link to comment

I could use an extra incase my car's set gets destroyed. Mostly I need the split bulb housing. So with the tail lights they did custom stuff for the euro lens? Not stock euro housings with three bulbs? Quote Link to comment
zhent Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well, I just bolted the US ambers into the euro housings up front, so... I'm kind of looking to keep them... I don't really know if there's much difference between the euro and the US on the rear taillights. I know I had full the US setup on the back of my '71 and the housings are identical to what's on the '72, only the wiring is different. The previous owner took quite a few shortcuts on things for the look he wanted, but then I guess that could be the case on any of our cars. I thought about starting a new thread "what did the previous owner of your Datsun do that you could not stand and had to fix as soon as you got home?" Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 ealy wagons have 2 bulb rear houseings, late model has 3 bulb. you need the 3 bulb for euro lights. if your car has a 2 bulb setup some rewiring will be needed. Quote Link to comment
