4perrev Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, I'm sitting in Japan right now and looking for some cool stuff, but can't seem to find the goods. There are a hundred skylines around, but can't get those back in my bag! Wish there was a Japanese Craigslist! 2 Quote Link to comment

4perrev Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Finally returned from my trip. Had a friend pass away and had to go down to Cali for a bit. Upon my return, I wanted to get back into the truck. So, I decided to put the L16 back in and wait until the L20 was complete and rebuilt. The 16 wasn't hard to get out because the Xmission was already out, but when I put it back in with the Xmission attached....Well it was a little bit harder. Had to do some wedging and floor jack creativity. None the less, she'e back in and running. Here's the fun: And a video, if it works: 4 Quote Link to comment

4perrev Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So I put the truck on the classifieds for Ratsun. I'm going to start a 510 build (if the truck sells). Not that I don't love the truck and have had fun rebuilding her, I just think that I would like a 510 more. Got it listed for 3K OBO. Wasn't sure how much I should list it for, so I just started at 3 with the or best offer. Too much? 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 So, I just dropped it to $2K. Somebodies got to want this beauty, right?? 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Relisted the truck and added the set of mag wheels. It has been great fun learning about the truck and building her, but I have bought a 510 and need to concentrate my time towards the car. Would really love to see the truck go to a good home. She's almost done and is in great shape. The frame will almost never rust again!! Thanks for all the help from everybody who commented and helped me out. 2 Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 How much for the mags and is it a full set? 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think it will be hard to sell a truck that's in pieces. GLWS. Did you start a 510 thread? 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 How much for the mags and is it a full set? I'll sell you the mags for 2k and throw the truck in free?! Sorry, but I have to sell it all together. I do have all 4. 2 Quote Link to comment

I have not started a 510 build thread yet, but will soon. I slow on the build for a little while due to work, but will get her going quick when it slows down. 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So I've reassembled the front of the truck in hopes that it would sell. Here are the latest pictures: 1 Quote Link to comment

4perrev Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would keep her big, but I'm moving on to a 510 project that is going to take all of my space. I think she's going to go to a good home.Just trying to save one dat at a time though! 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Well, the deal feel through and I still have her for now. Did pickup (no pun intended here) a 2 door 510 that needs my attention. Finally got one because I thought they were all gone! Quest complete, now it's on to the fab and building. 2 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ok, I gotta order some goods and get her on the road. Been away for a little while and now I have to get her moving. Just trying to share time between her and the 510 now. So many projects and so little time! 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Alright boys and girls. Ordered a new set of wheel brake cylinders (front and rear). Gotta put the steering column & wheel in, install the gas tank and hook up the clutch slave cylinder. After that, the only thing left is a windshield, but that will come eventually. Oh yeah, tires for mags and she'll be right as rain!! Progress is coming!! 1 Quote Link to comment

It's just about time for my little lady to start running and move me around for a change! Here she is out of storage: Have u installed the rear cylinders yet? I ordered some rear ones a while back and the old Y adapter didn't fit the new ones. Let me know how it goes cause in am badly in need if some new rear wheel cylinders. What brand did you get? 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 You might be able to get rear wheel cylinders from Nissan. The price is higher, but the quality is very good, and includes the "Y" adapter, and bolt. I believe 521, and 620 rear wheel cylinders will bolt on to both 521, and 620 backing plates. However 521 wheel cylinders have SAE threads, and 620 wheel cylinders have metric threads. 1 Quote Link to comment
