GOONS check in

[cgovia]

I might need to pic yopur brain on how you did that like what kinda car you got the motor from and all the other stuff like mounts etc.and of course the wireing:blink:

[datrod]

well...i've decided to put a KA24DE in my goon.

 

A friend of mine called me up this morning and told me about his friend that has a KA24de from a 1995 240sx with 80,000mi with 5sp gearbox (i never liked the word tranny....i'm not putting a transvestite in my car :D) and everything needed for the swap... $600

 

...since I don't have time or the tool and know-how to do it myself, im dropping my goon at his house first thing tomorrow morning. Another friend will be doing the install and wiring. ...$1400

 

I'd say thats a pretty good price~

 

 

heads up: as soon as it is out, my perfect running complete L16 will be for sale

Dude you SUCK. :lol:

I have a 510 Front Anti Sway Bar 1.125"/28mm for $130.00.

Greatly improves handling...too bad I can't use it anymore with the swap, so anyone interested, PM me.

 

Thought I'd let my fellow goons in on it first before going to classifieds. :P

[chumstone]

gettin some wiring done on the little girl.

 

[ppeters914]

Question for some of you other wagon guys. What are you all running for gas caps? Are you still running the simple twist off type or have you all moved to locking caps?

 

 

I'm considering putting a locking one on my wagon but I don't know if i'm just being paranoid. They are pretty ugly caps. :rolleyes:

[hang_510]

i have a stant chrome button style.

cant afford gas so how could a i afford a 'real' locking cap :lol:

Any pics? If it looks nice I wouldn't mind getting one. Supposedly they have the locking ones for 510 wagons but I hear they don't fit right. :(

[gokiburix]

i have a stant locking gas cap....

 

ugly...but oh well. I cant justify spending too much money on a gas cap

[datrod]

On my red goon I have an original datsun locking chrome gas cap.

 

BUT NO F/N KEY :mad:

[datrod]

 

hope you all enjoy

 

That's a nice goon benzo.:D

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Stock twist on gas cap on mine. Ill prob. swap over to a locking cap & put the original one on for shows...

John...pick the lock :cool:

[benzo]

That's a nice goon benzo.:D

thanks, wish I can find a locking gas cap for not too expensive as well as a factory tach. I am not worried about the tach so much as I might put a autometer or get something from Japan. still have to fine tune my motor some but all in all it is a fun car to drive around. still working on some more suspension items for the rear

[Gensaiken]

wanted to post some updated pics since I last posted pics in this thread.

 

 

 

Wagon is getting closer to completion.

 

One thing I wanted to ask you wagon folk is do any of you guys have retractable lap belts on all the seats in your wagon?

 

I have retractable lap belts on each seat front and rear but no shoulder harness. Any one seen this? Was this some one's "cool" idea?

 

Wagon was made in 71 if that helps.

that is one clean wagon. ice cream

[hang_510]

my 72 has shoulder belts, the shoulder part fits(rotate and lock style) into the lap clip. they are not retractable (i had to add that)

 

 

this is the only photo i could find of part#10623. its not exactly the one i have, but very close. i took 3-4 outside and they let me determine the best (single lock vs dual)

why a locking gas cap is a good idea...

Thanks for the info. I'm still looking in to a locking cap, want to make sure I cover everything before I just jump in to buying one.

 

My silver 510 has the type of belts you are talking about. It seems like almost every 510 had them as well. I'm going to guess the retractable ones on my wagon were a custom job. Might take them out and use the shoulder harness out of my silver car. I just don't feel that safe with only lap belts...

[Cruez]

The day I picked it up..

 

As of a couple months ago..

 

 

Should be running...hopefully this weekend..... we shall see..

[datrod]

Cruez.

Dude you can't do that. We need more pic's. That's gonna be one badass goon.. :cool:

[gokiburix]

just got back from Japan....sorry...i couldnt find any 510 parts.

 

Good news is that my goon is almost done! I MIGHT be able to pick it up this weekend ::crosses fingers::

[denveratsun]

Yeah Cruez!!! Come on man! Killin' us here!:D Looks really good though.

[speedgato]
