flatcat19 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I never did see that one on CL. That's why I asked where you got it. There was one that kinda looked like that down the road from my house- Rd 44 and Argent area. But thank you. I had the green machine out a lot last year. Lots of shows/meets. 2 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Can someone remind me AGAIN what that cylinder with the green wire does? Is it crucial to operation? 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 i'm guessing this is meant for charlie 4 o2 sensors? damn that's a bunch. i hope the pictures help, actually thought about it while tearing shit apart Actually I wrote that post at like 4a and my iPad died. I thought it posted then... but I guess it posed now.... fucking apple and their shit. So the "hobo" part of that post was about the splitter under the drivers side that's not hooked to anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's exactly where I got it. Shit hit CL, and I'd been looking for a 620. So, I pounced. Not exactly what I wanted, but for the low price, I pulled the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Guy had an old Mustang too? Vintage fuel pump? Uberkevin and I were out cruising around one day and ran out of gas. Turned down that street cuz it was there...Look, there's a Datsun. The next day I went and placed a Ratsun sticker on the windshield of that truck. Cool. Now you know where I live. No getting lost. I live half a block off Burden, right around what would be Rd. 46. 1 Quote Link to comment

I live half a block off Burden, right around what would be Rd. 46. That's the place. I'm new around here, I moved in in Aug and I got messed up at the site in Sept. been indoors a lot since. Just healing up and waiting. I'll be sure and put some good stickers on it once I get it squared away. I'm tapped out for tonight though. I'll move trucks around tomorrow and pull the Datsun back in. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Suck my nuts wirining harness bullshit. There, I feel better. Welll... maybe not, but, almost all of my lights work. Just the one on the drivers side front fender. I'll knock that out one PaiChan sends me the lights. You wouldn't happen to know the diameter of fuel line going to the 32/36 Weber carb, would you? The piece between the fuel filter and the carb has seen better days... a lot of better days.... Other than that, it's progressing... I'm not sure what pictures I'd take that wouldn't bore the shit out of you... So here's a picture of my Jeep conundrum. After like 150-300 mi my CEL comes on telling me I'm random misfiring. At that exact moment... it goes into limp mode and the party's over. I've replaced the cam sensor, idle control valve, re-checked all my vacuum lines, pcv, the air inlet tube, cleaned the throttle body, it's a 2000 Cherokee so that fucking coil on ignition which I replaced. I'm running stock Mopar everything... still didn't work and my mechanic told my to "hit something hard with it"... but I prefer to fix things... not crash them. I pulled the oxygen sensors for sport and... 3/4 are wrong.... that one second from the left is correct... or so saith the Jeep nerds. So I put the ones in they suggested. My oxygen values are completely different now.... 97 mi and it runs fine... so... maybe it's fixed? It's my winter beater... so we'll see what it does. 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Ordered a shitload of Thai parts... honestly starting to think a huge portion of the Kingdom of Thailand's GDP comes from Datsun owners... In the meantime I'm redoing vacuum and fuel lines, which... once again is fucking boring. I'd take a picture, but no one cares. I ordered an overflow tank and... the fucking thing that the hose attaches to is on the wrong side... so that's a total dick salad. I ordered a Mishimoto one that's supposed to swing both ways... Ordered new steel, rivets, por for the floorboard so I might take a pic of that. And I'm waiting on disc brake parts... So.... not really much... but I'm still rolling along. I found out that the 36/36 Weber is a common thing for VWs so I bought a new air filter off one of them shits. Fuck it, its 4 am local, I'm out. 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Finally have all my lights working. Bit of an improvement over this. The Thai repop parts are a total fucking shitshow. Don't get me wrong, I expected them to be a step down in quality... but fuck me. They went down a step, fell down a flight of stairs, crashed out the window, straight into an open manhole lid. I ended up using a found throughly used one that I took a dremel tool to with some polish to get some of the oxidation off. It's clear, it resists water, and it works. The tail lights I put in are a fucking train wreck, which.... btw... don't have a DOT stamp on them, and therefore are not permissible to be used on WA State roadways because the vehicle is newer than 72'.... So, they're a temporary fix. I'll have to take the "all the electrical parts work" as my win for now. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Any rectangular lights like yours found on a Datsun will fit. Mostly. Kevin or I have a set or 10 kicking around in our stashes. I'll see what I can come up with. The lights on my 521 are from a 620. 3 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Cool, thanks Gato. I'm gluing shit together to make what I've got work for now. Started changing my headlights and my grill is busted to shit. So I'll be playing with that too. Just gotta duck out on Thai parts as much as I can. That shit is terrible... Until it warms up next week I'm good. No sense in freezing for the sake of freezing. 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It took you that long? Man. Do more work. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'll find one, based on my phone were gonna hit our high temp of 9 F... at 11 pm... what the shit is that? So I'm just gonna chill tonight. I'll find a grill, or make one. It's not really a huge deal. When it warms up Wednesday I'll glue my shit back together until I can find a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It took you that long? Man. Do more work. I may have noticed before but wasn't a priority. Still isn't but I know who to cuss at when putting them in 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Well... I haven't been cussed at in Thai in like 6 weeks... Pai Cube has terrible customer service... until you put it on speaker with a friend that's fluent. Turns out they know they make shitty parts... and don't care. That's cool though. I'll find what I'm looking for, I'm just not Buddist Monk level with the patience game. New radiator overflow tank came in and I immediately took it out of the box... and stuck my wet hand to it like that stupid fuck that licked the flagpole in first grade. So.... yeah... too cold to work on it. I did look at my repairs to the grill and... they're shitty. It's under the functional temp range for the adhesive I used.... waaaaaay to read the directions AFTER... Just means I'll do it better next time? Next week I should be able to fix the fucking floor and I'll order some knew carpet. Suggestions on carpet kits that work? 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Well, for about $7,500 you could make it into the Japanese El Camino.... http://09racingshop.cart.fc2.com/ca2/27/p-r-s/ IMO, that is some ugly shit. I did however get these in and framed from a fellow Ratsun member. I'm very happy with the prints from Fisch and I put them up in my home office. 3 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I ordered an 8"x10" piece of sheet metal for $5.46 off Amazon and... that's what I received.... I typically use my built in 10" ruler in pictures but... clearly their 10" ruler is substantially larger... 1 Quote Link to comment

Soundline Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Unfortunately it was a "Last one" that's now unavailable. After I cut the parts I need, you're welcome to the rest. I doubt I'll use more than 1/3 of it. 1 Quote Link to comment
