Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I used that extra hole as the bypass over to the water pump input instead of the one coming off the downdraft intake since I went with the side draft intake... 1 Quote Link to comment

And Exedy = Daikin. "Yes we verified the clamping force/ load test. Exedy's design department dug out the blueprint and we have it. You wipe off the Dust. A great, less expensive, alternative to the Nissan kits with a great reputation. Comes with Japanese disc, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing & clutch dowels. Use for any 1600 or 2000. If it don't say NSC-581 it ain't heavy duty!" yeah it is and nothing against datsunparts but the guy who runs it just comes across so crass when I ask a question, turns me off from buying anything from him. EDIT: Wait the PP in that auction is the same one Dean sells, except the brand name which is the same company. NS581 "NSC - 581 NLA Heavy duty 600 kilogram Clutch Pressure plate" Both say 600 so assuming they are the exact same thing just cheaper on Ebay. And Mainer I referring to the 1483DAIKIN part on Deans site and not the other more expensive kits. Gotcha. I think you'll be fine either way. I put the Exedy 05022 in my truck, but I think that's the regular duty version. I figured it'll hold the gerbil power that my engine puts out. Yeah, Dean is a bit of an asshole at times. And by that I mean all the time. I only buy from him if I really have to. Edited May 11, 2020 by mainer311 1 Quote Link to comment

I was looking at Datsunparts dual choke cables but they are pricey and again if the dude selling them is painful then I will just look elsewhere. Do you have a link to a post about them? I know the rep about California Datsun but didn't know Datsun parts had a bad one as well. I think the threads might be bspt.... either 1/4 or 1/8.... I retapped all my bspt to be npt , its so much easier to get a sensor or fitting that's npt.... 2 Quote Link to comment

He has actually had parts remanufactured that are NLA, so you just need to work around his personality to get stuff that you really need. 1 Quote Link to comment

A side draft setup doesnt have that coolant port... I used the hole in the thermostat housing with a 90 degree elbow to be the bypass 1 Quote Link to comment
