ggzilla Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 U320 ute was sold in Japan, called "Datsun double-seat pickup" (ットサン ダブル シート) I was very excited when I seen the title to this thread, I thought someone had two U320s ... U320s are very rare, and only Australia got them Quote Link to comment

miss grease monkey Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yeh keeping stock engine in the static one, it still runs.. but wanting to give it a rebuild to get her running strong. I can fix her myself as I am a mechanic by trade the hardest thing will be finding the parts. Does anyone know where I can find a VRS kit (rebuild kit) for her haha or am I pushing my luck Quote Link to comment

They used a lot of those motors in forklifts. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 theres a white one near me behind a fence near the Royal Bear in Algona/Auburn. I bet it goes to the junkyard cause of no title or owner. Quote Link to comment

And with my bagged datsun I m gettin a independent rear out of an one eighty sx.. for the rear clip set up. So will be heaps of chopping and fab work to come. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 ^^^^Here's Wayno now. Been busy working on Datsuns again I suppose... Today I was busy making a living, it seems that it is time to start working again, I need more time off to work on my Datsuns. :) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Valve regrind set? Head gasket, valve cover gasket, manifold gasket, valve seals... I think someone suggested a fork lift truck dealer. Contact a large engine re-builder and ask them. A Nissan dealer probably won't have anything that old but often they can contact other dealers and ask them to check their inventory for obsolete stock in their storage? If nothing else pick their brains for what ever else those motors were used for. Maybe they can name the lift truck maker.... might even be Nissan. Surely Japan will have something See it there are any NL320 clubs or collectors on line and ask what they do for parts. I know some MG parts fit the A series motors maybe there is another cross over part for the J series? These motors are somewhat designed on the British Austin motors of the 50s. 1 Quote Link to comment

miss grease monkey Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yeh I seen a few links recommended on ebay.. but for now I am spending more time on the blue 64.. my outcome for her is airbagged, body chopped, (she was fully shaved when I first got her out of the paddock) taking a few inches off her length. And building my own rear clip.. I have to say I bought myself a new miller plasma cutter, by far the best cutting tool out, so clean n tidy, love it.. I know alot of people are against cutting up such an old car but thats why I bought two of them :) 2 Quote Link to comment
miss grease monkey Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I will keep an eye out on ebay and a few datsun forums for parts etc but For now I am spending more time on the blue 64.. my outcome for her is airbagged, body chopped, (she was fully shaved when I first got her out of the paddock) taking a few inches off her length. And building my own rear clip.. but you knonwhen you plan something they dont always turn out the way you want it. I have to say though I bought myself a new miller plasma cutter, by far the best cutting tool out, so clean n tidy, love it.the other night I wad down in the shed making up a few nitch plates I was using the grinder, plasma cutter, and mig welder, I thought great another night without hurtin myself, as I opened the packet to get my new tape measure out, I bloody sliced myself. The one tool that aint dangerous haha.I know alot of people are against cutting up such an old car but thats why I bought two of them Quote Link to comment
