DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Instead of there being a massive amount of suspension or interior or drivetrain etc. Threads to search through for a specific model. Could the technical section also be broken up into car/truck/engine type? Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 We have a search engine, how much lazier you want it? 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Use Google to search. Type what you want, include "Ratsun" in your search criteria. Works brilliantly. 1 Quote Link to comment
DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I guess it's not me being in a lazy mood but more my ocd perfectionist side coming out to play. Lol hell I can't leave doors half open because the edges and corners don't "line up" I just like everything to be in super order. The habit works in the office I work in lol Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Do you have any idea how many models of cars/trucks and engines Datsuns came with??? Holy sheep shit 3 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Can we also make a new section where classified ads can be posted and discussed? I think it would be a vast improvement over the current system. 8 Quote Link to comment
DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Don't get me wrong I love ratsun and it is the BEST site. I just think it would be cool thing to have. And I do completely understand the amount of work involved. If I had half a flipping idea how to website I would offer to help ratsun grow. 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 You know,,,, maybe he is onto something,,,,,,,,,,,, if we once and for all got rid of those "funny looking" 73-76 types cars there might be space for more desirable car content. 4 Quote Link to comment
DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hahahaha it was a suggestion. I just thought it would be a neat feature. Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hahahaha it was a suggestion. I just thought it would be a neat feature. A suggestion that painted a target on your forehead....how about some pics of that 521 you've got? 1 Quote Link to comment
DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A target on my head? So be it lol. I've got a thread on the 521. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Wow. 521 actually has its own section. And it is one of the easiest ones to already work on. Haynes manual, a set of spanners-good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment
DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/66943-my-datsun-521-paddock-find/?fromsearch=1 In Australia they are a hard find and considering my situation I figured a easy project would be best... But like any "easy" project it has its hidden issues lol but we're working through them. 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Oz, eh? The 521s didn't come with the L16 there, did they? Quote Link to comment

DaMuN Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Was going to change the colour but the blue has really grown on me. So yeah keep it the way it looks and paint the tray gunmetal grey. Looking into a 720 chassis swap. Nope we got the lovely J15. Can't really kill them so that's a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The only vehicle that really matters, is the 620 with the L or KA Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The only vehicle that really matters, is the 620 with the L or KA I agree with this, but just 620, there's a v8 620 I'm in love with but will never have. I think the owner will be buried in that truck. And I still kinda want to vg one of mine. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Instead of there being a massive amount of suspension or interior or drivetrain etc. Threads to search through for a specific model. Could the technical section also be broken up into car/truck/engine type? There is already a 521 section for 521 content. In the case of the 521, the engine L16 is the exact same as used in the 510 car. In your case the J15 isn't represented much at all. I guess it's not me being in a lazy mood but more my ocd perfectionist side coming out to play. Lol hell I can't leave doors half open because the edges and corners don't "line up" I just like everything to be in super order. The habit works in the office I work in lol Apply your OCD to searching out your information needed. The Ratsun search works well and the google search even better. I try to leave post content alone but vague titles like "Help" and poor spelling gets adjusted/corrected so the search engine will find those that are relevant, such as "Help 521 ignition problem" It's a 'dumb machine' and needs direction. In addition a vague title means everyone has to open it to read it's about ignition or some other thing they can't help with. A sensible short title makes everything easier. Don't get me wrong I love ratsun and it is the BEST site. I just think it would be cool thing to have. And I do completely understand the amount of work involved. If I had half a flipping idea how to website I would offer to help ratsun grow. Practice, practice, practice. The more you use the site, and the interweb in general, the easier it becomes.
