datsun 521 ute Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 There's a seller on ebay that has lots of 620 parts from panels to rubbers, I thinks his ebay user name is Phils Rotaries. 1 Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Awesome. Thanks. Greiggy, I did find a pair of seals on eBay that said they'd suit a 620 with quarter windows but I think they were from Bangkok. I might have a dig at super cheap when I go to work and see if any of our suppliers carry them or can get their hands on some for me. I have seen Phil's rotaries on eBay. The guy I bought the ute off said he used to deal with him a lot as they're both in Brisbane and I've only heard good reviews about his products. Might test him out with a new tail gate at some point down the track. UPDATE! I ordered some side Mirrors from rocket industries through work on Monday so hopefully they should turn up tomorrow :) thanks for all the sources guys. Ill keep you posted Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Riley. Sorry mate, quick thread hijack. Before you buy anything from Phil's, have a look at the trader forum on Ausrotary. It appears there are a lot of Rotor heads who are very dissatisfied wth the products from Phil's. Quote Link to comment

I guess I'll just have to see for myself and learn the hard way if it goes wrong. Everyone has my trust until they abuse it :) Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Any body got some wheels they want to get rid of? Quote Link to comment
Drakoe1 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Not bad man... Definitely looks like a solid start for sure. Diggin that its a longbody Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 please please dont buy phills rotaries items unless your desperate.... they might be new but they have super poor fitment ... my tailgate is one of theirs however my panel beater had to unpick the skin and reposition it because the body gaps were piss poor to be honest!

rgk93 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ok thanks for the heads up. I'm currently in the process of stripping the 620 down and start clearing out some rust. It will be the death of me. Got my mirrors today, they're going to fit with the ute so well. I love them Got them from rocket industries in melbourne. You can't really see but they're a swan neck with an offset mount 4inch round mirror. Lowering blocks should be here tomorrow. On a completely unrelated note, I do love a practical daily Sexy and useful ;) Quote Link to comment
datsun 521 ute Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wow I didn't know his stuff was that bad. I have never bought from him because he has never sold parts for the models I have, thankfully by the sounds of it, but always see it on eBay. If that's the case I'll not mention again. You're certainly getting stuck into the old girl which is good to see. Quote Link to comment
datsun 521 ute Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sexy and useful ;) So which is which? Lol Quote Link to comment

rgk93 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 How do you remove the front bumper? Is it removed from the inside. By the time I came to it last night I was tired and annoyed so I called it quits for the night and didn't bother Quote Link to comment
southern620 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The way I did mine was remove the four bolts the hold the bumper to the frame. And then it will give you access to the nuts on the back of those carrage bolts. If you peak over the front of your rad support and look strait down there will be four bolts, two each side, right on top of the frame and once those are out you can pull the whole bumper. There may be two bolts on the inside on the outer corners that you can access from behind the finder and the bumper will all but fall off. Hope my rambling on isn't to confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment

datsun 521 ute Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Haha what do you mean? Which one is sexy and which one is useful, the boat and car pictured? Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The boat is neither sexy nor enjoyable, my car is both haha will probably start playing with that car soon too. Needs new wheels and coilovers Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Not much progress at the moment. Got the 2.5 inch blocks in and it sits nice ;) cranked the torsion bars a little but can still go a little further. Waiting on a few things to come in. Still haven't mounted the new mirrors yet. Possibly tomorrow. Ill throw some pictures up soon, my phone is going flat. Still not sure on a colour yet. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
RCStealth Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Don't know if you've settled on a color yet, but here's a link to some Datsun factory paint colors and their corresponding codes: http://www.ratdat.com/?p=340 Quote Link to comment

rgk93 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Alright, so like I said, not too much progress. Just clean ups. Here's how it was when I bought it. And here's how it is with 2.5inch blocks (Australian made ;) ) Sits quite nicely but as most of you would understand, I'm not satisfied yet haha I cranked the torsion bars down a little. Not too much yet. Does anyone know when I can order some lowering shocks? Also, is there a how to thread on removing leafs from springs? Is there any benefit or loss from doing this? Does anybody know of pre cut floor carpet for a 620? Can it be bought from anywhere. I'm also chasing a set of wheels if any body has any they want to get rid of or sell? Ill be moving the ute to a bigger shed just down the road so I've got more room for body work. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 URGENT! Help needed.. I need to know how to remove the windscreen wiper switch/knob from the dash and dash frame. It's the only thing holding the two together. Quote Link to comment
datsun 521 ute Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm not sure on the 620 but if you look on the under side of the knob there might be a little grub screw holding on the knob. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Pull the knob out and hold the shaft with some needle nose pliers and puch in and turn on the the knob Quote Link to comment
