DatLady620 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey everyone, Just joined the site. My husband has been a member for a while and he is responsible for my new addiction. He has a 510 and I couldn't understand why he was so in love with such a pile of rust. After owning it for almost a year now I totally get it! So I have just bought my first Datsun, its a 76 620. Once I figure out how to post some pics on here I will! Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 thats 510 need to be about 4inches lower love seeing datsuns still on the road. Beat up or not Quote Link to comment
DatLady620 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 That's next on the list for his, He keeps saying it looks like a 4x4! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Nice 620. Same color as my 710 goon too. You just need a DS fender and front valance and it's new again. Like the chrome rims, have them on my 620. Found in dumpster behind tire place. Some kid buying 17" rims for his chebby is my guess. They look great on a 620 without offending my bling sensitivity. Truck dearly needs to be lower. Even from the factory they were lower at the front with a rake angle that leveled out when carrying a load. Your front looks higher than the back.

datzenmike Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Auto!!! They are always survivors because you can't drive the shit out of them. Dash looks perfect too, they usually crack. 1 Quote Link to comment
DatLady620 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah you got that right! She tops out about 60 lol. The interior is in real good condtion. Everything works. Only major thing is the bench seat and there is some discoloration on the front of the glove box. I def lucked out. I do need to figure out a way to make the dash lights brighter though.

We'll get you over 70 no problem. As to the dash lights I wrote this years ago and Skib kept it as a signature on his profile page... I believe in the EI dizzy, and the IR alternator. That Datsun IS a car and that the almighty Nissan made them. I believe in gear reduction starters for colder climates and high output oil pumps. That setting valve lash hot is better than cold, and that a good mechanic does not need to use RTV. That a good used junkyard part is superior to a reconditioned one and I believe in the merits of a hot start relay and re torquing head bolts at every tune up. I believe that a higher output alternator trumps a stock one and that dash light dimmer switches were installed by Nissan as an in joke by the engineers. I have faith that when a Datsun quits on the side of the road that almost anyone can check for spark and fuel and that having found one and fixing the other it will start and get you home. This is what I do believe in. 1 Quote Link to comment
DatLady620 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 That's amazing! My husband and I were laughing about the dimmer knob last night. Well said! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah something was lost in translation when they read that N American cars HAVE TO have dash lights that are dim-able. They read HAVE TO BE DIM. 1 Quote Link to comment
