mrbigtanker Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 This shit's coming right along and looking good dude! :thumbup: Heretic's question had me wondering as well, so I dug through the thread on my 521. Ours is on the passenger side too. Hard to see, but it's sort of visible in this shot of it starting to cross over toward the bottom of the pic. You guys are not alone my exhaust goes out the passenger side as well Quote Link to comment
Hooligan Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 LOL... they all do. Its because of the gas tank. It crosses over for clearance. Oh... I'm loving the new color Jon.... dammit, now I need to work on mine Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 thinking about going with a gear set too ...phixius recommended 3.88..any one got a h190 kicking around with 3..88 in it ... I got my stock wagon diff... anyone got a link to a spider gear swap .........wonder if I can buy the right spline spiders new? Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 3.88, yup that is the 510 wagon H190 ratio. Side gear swap link. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/10748-h190-spider-gear-swap/ H190 differences link http://community.ratsun.net/topic/17044-h190-differentials-wpictures/ Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Datsun/nissan 720s had 388s, they are common gears, and can be found easily in a wrecking yard. :) Quote Link to comment
dscottdatsun Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I did the side gear swap on a wagon diff, it was easy. The alloy diff looks cool in there as well, when its all cleaned up. It would really look hot polished out :thumbup: . I also love the 3.88's on the smaller 205/70 - 14 tires. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 BTW jrock... those titans look SWEEEEET tucked in so close to your frame. yeah that's a good 3/8 inch clearance...lol so I guess I gotta figure out what rear end my goon has ... phixius has shared that the goon was a 3.88 in a/t form but in manual it was 3.7 or optional 3.88....I'm kinda hoping they are 3.7...im kinda a short shifter at heart anyway...so fun ....now I'm off to count teeth since I don't think a 3.88 and 3.7 will be discernible with a rotation count .....I have only used that technique in researching large differences like4.11 to 3.53 which would be pretty easy to tell ....fuck why cant they just stamp them on a tag like they used to ...either way the goon rear end is getting sacrificed for the sake of taller gears in the snack.....

heretic Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 if you're pulling it apart no need to count the teeth, the ring gear should be stamped. .... now I'm off to count teeth ..... Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 well the easy typical stuff like ... exhaust ....the 620 manifold down pipe is way different then my existing so just gonna redo all of it I guess.....sigh....fix my timing to a more permanent setting... had to adjust the plate to get it to 9 degrees now...fix my pan I think its leaking along the back ... reinstalling it in truck hit a snafu and instead of double checking the seal I re set it and bolted it down.....it might just be residudal oil from when I oured it over the head ... I went a little fast once...thinking I need a different temp switch for fans ... 200/185 seems to be too hot for the location of the sensor....I wanna finish the motor so I can do the chassis stuff last ... thinking about adding a hitch... truck runs strong though.......carbs are pretty ok ... still need some tinkering .. seem to be idling to high still....thanks adam ... I put new floats in this set of sus and they fired right up ... hoping they tune to a better idle and its not a air leak.... loading a video to post.... 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 So when you said you were treating Goldfish to lunch , i didn`t realize you were going to walk around Walmart eating stuff off the shelves, then putting the empty packages back. 1 Quote Link to comment
