Elkie Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thought I'd finally get around to posting some pics of my 620. Threw some fat mat down, and carpeted it. Needs a vacuum, and to reupholster the seats. 4 Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Like the color, nice 620. Disk or drum front? 1 Quote Link to comment

Elkie Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Found some pics of doing the floor. It was missing the front carpet, and the back carpet was in bad shape. Stripped Worst rust, can see the hole where seam sealer had come away, and let water leak in. wire brushed the rust off, and threw on some rust bullet. Redid the sea sealer after the pic. Some caked on nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Gonna paint the wheels any suggestions on color? Maybe the bumper too. Quote Link to comment
abbylind Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 IIRC the original wheel color was white Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Started working on getting the a/c system re-installed. Got the condensor installed, and modded the old drier so that I can use more modern drier with o rings. From this (Forgot to take a before pic just found this one.) to this 1 Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Made on a bracket for the compressor, decided to do driver's side since passenger has a lot more to work around. 2 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Really nice work, clean welds. Simple and clean. Wasn't there a smog pump there on a king cab? B) Wish I could ditch my Smog pump and mount a compressor on the driver side. But living in California it is a real hassle having to smog it every year cuz it is so old. Too bad you don't live closer to me. I'd comission you to do one on the other side! lol 1 Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Took like 4 tries to get that idler pulley set just right. No worries about emission here, that stuff was all pulled off when I got it.One last pic with final welds done, painted, and compressor mounted. Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 A couple questions if I may? What is the clearance between the top of the steering box and the bottom flat plate the compressor bolts to? What is the clearance between inside of compressor and the closest thing to it? Exhaust bracket? Can the back strut support (the back twin of the piece the idler cam bots to) be welded in directly under the rear compressor ears, to reduce the amount of unused plate behind the compressor Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Wow, super clean score. I'm looking forward to the rest of the AC stuff :) Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Seeker it sits about an inch above the steering box at the closest point. Heres a photo from above for some reference. Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah redeye it is pretty rust free, surprising for a kansas vehicle. Wish it didn't have so much body damage, but I'll get it fixed in time. Most of my effort is focused on the 521 atm. Summers are brutal here so getting a/c in the dd is a priority. 1 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 You are awesome.. I have to build a bracket for the pass side so I can still accommodate the smog pump on driver side. You've given me some great ideas for it. Thanks a lot. Would you consider building me one of those awesome universal but stock looking receiver/drier brackets? Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Seeker do you have an old drier I could build one from, I used the arms from it to make the back of the bracket. Did some electrical today. Since the old pressure sensor wouldn't work with the new drier, I found a replacement sensor for it. The original sensor was a high pressure switch that would shut off the compressor when it hit 398 psi and come back on a 341 psi. I used a binary switch that on the high side shuts of at 384 and back on at 340, it also shuts off the compressor off at anything below 28 psi. part number is 35829 looks like this... wiring harness part number 37219 and the original sensor. all together, will run a line from the green wire to the compressor. 2 Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Working on making up a cable from the center console to evap unit. Now to figure out a way to attach it so it will push the cable back in. 1 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sorry it took me so long to get some pics to you. Do you have this bracketry under the console? I finally scored this on a parts truck for my 620. 1 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 The tiny cable is roughly 4 1/16 to 4 1/4" long. Don't have an evaporator in the parts truck, and haven't yet installed the one I sourced from a yard into my 620 yet. Do they really fit that close together it only takes a 4" cable to connect? I have a shout out to my favorite Nissan Parts girl to see if she can shed further light on this. She broke my heart yesterday and said she is leaving today for a new job at a different Mfg dealership in another city, no longer with access to the Nissan parts systems. All the other guys where she works are noobs and don't have any interest in learning the old system that handles 620 stuff. Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 That sucks, I generally have to have the part number when I go through nissan here. There's a cable that runs from the bracket on the center console(last pic from my last post) up to a thermo switch on top of the evaporator (second pic). 1 Quote Link to comment
abbylind Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Where did you get the evaporator? How are you mounting the radiator up front? 1 Quote Link to comment
abbylind Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Duuhhh.... now I see you are reinstalling the AC system with a new compressor and drier.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yeah I'm using the old evap and condensor, a po had removed all the a/c stuff. You could get away doing this w/o most the stock stuff, but the evap is the one thing I'd recommend getting. Nostalgic air sells under dash evap units but they run $250-$400 1 Quote Link to comment
