Cruising through Craigslst and found somebody parting out a '78 B210 GX, picked up a few parts from him for $200.

 

He still has the front sheet metal, bumpers and is planning on cutting out the rear quaters soon, still has some other parts if needed. Let me know so I can contact him if you're after anything.

 

 

What I got:

Front seats

Front seatbelts

Rear seatbelts

Tachometer

Steering column cover

Dome light cover

Clarion AM radio

Rear side windows

Pop-out windows

Complete doors, left and right

Hatch with glass

Huge score for $200!

Had the carburetor rebuilt by National Carb and replaced the PCV valve, getting everything back on and I can't find where the second in from the left goes.

Second from the left just goes to intake vacuum. Vacuum is used to work the Automatic Temperature Control valve in the snorkel to maintain a mix of warm and cold air (around 90 degrees) for the carburetor. A consistent 'warm' air temperature improves cold weather running and eliminated carb icing.

 

 

The car is running fine, decided to change the PCV valve and upon removing the old one it was packed with crud.

 

That crud is blow by vapors that have condensed. Does the engine get up to working temperature? About half way up the normal or warm range? Does the engine burn oil?

New oil pump and oil pressure sending unit, had to cut a new gasket since the one that came with the pump was damaged but provided a good template. For all the good comes the bad with a broke hatch support bolt and glove box lid.

 

Finished replacing the oil pump and the battery was dead, replaced with a Braille B106 that weighs in at 6.9lbs. Had to replace the terminals and fix some wiring.

I've got a leak from a "heater hose" that does seem to be out of place. It runs along the the firewall behind the heater motor and ends with a cap (the point of the leak) but there's nothing shown in the Nissan service manual. I don't know if this was done by somebody else because the manual shows the cooling system stop at the engine side of the firewall and the heater control section has nothing on the hoses.

 

From heater core to engine (driver side)

My b210gx is a 1978 hatchback and i bought another for spare parts. The only thing that I left was an empty shell and back seat. I took everything there was on car it was a complete car minus rear end

And how is this pertinent to my current problem?

That is supposed to be a prebent hose (braided) that ran behind the heater core then out. That seem to be a weak spot, I believe though it was from people pulling on the heater housing without removing all of the hoses properly.

Very nice I have those on my watch list just haven't been able to pull the trigger yet.

I went through their website (http://www.datsun1200.asia/currency/USD), instead of using the eBay store and saved $90.

 

Might as well get it now so you know you've got it, I came by these purely by chance.

Looking for the body gasket for the fuel filler and lines. Haven't had any luck finding one so far.

 

I've also have been looking at Techno Toy Tuning parts, I've seen that it uses 510 suspension parts but will the brake lines work as well?

If you mean the stainless brake lines that replace your rubber lines, the fronts will. And I think one of the rears will match up to yours, you'll just have one left over.

Starting to tear apart the front suspension and replacing stuff with Techno Toy Tuning parts. Removing a number of parts to clean and paint, hoping to get done before Datsloco.

I've been thinking about doing some of these upgrades to my B210, I'd like to know how you like it when you're done.
