洋子 (Yoko) 81 210


Recommended Posts

Thanks, Soundline. I do my utmost hardest to follow the manuals when I do any task. Leave er in better condition than originally was.

She's got quire the character. Driving er is a "trance" most of the time. Such a Joy. The mechanical simplicity and boxy views makes er all that more attractive.

 

For now I'm keeping er stock and seeing if we get to 300k miles. I'll be getting another A12a, rebuild and EFI convert.

 

Apparently I can't order the 756F accelerator pump by itself.

BUT I was able to find a kit that does have it!  Autozone - 1983 Nissan Sentra w/ 1.5L SONC uses the same pump. 
I may be one of the few that loves Hitachi and Nikki carbs... While consulting 3 manuals for compatibility.
 
Updated To-Do List for this week!
 
Get a spare non rusted wheel.
Tighten heater coolant line inside cabin.
Replace Output Shaft Seal.
Replace Idler Arm Bushings.
 
Getting down Wednesday to do both seal and bushing work since parts came in. Ordered the lower rad-hose and awaiting.

I get the feeling of them being hated for all sorts of reasons... Lot's of em.  :rofl:

 

Idler arm is done.

 

You can remove the idler arm without having to remove the hinge bolted to the engine bay wall.

Clean up the arm and grease the bushings prior install.

Fill it up with tons of lube and tighten er up.

Hopefully that removes some of the steering play.

 

Oil pan gasket is wet on drivers side. Not dripping just wet. So far it looks simple enough. Just remove bolts and let the pan hang?. If its like that, I'll end up doing it Friday.

I really don't want to take anything else apart. Pan doesn't look like it's ever been removed or tinkered with.

But we'll see what occurs tomorrow as we dive into it. 

 

I'm sure the gasket has turned to stone. Quite the "Hard" situation.  :rofl:

Got some work done yesterday and found some interesting info on er.

 

Removed drive-shaft and dove into the output shaft. Bugger was so F*ing tight!

Not going to lie I'm a slow driver even for being young. I get that a lot. Seen cars cut in half, no survivors. Leaves a mark in ya memory.

Damn. Your leaving before I get there. Always fun to see other 210's. Good luck and safe travels.

Shame, I'd stay longer but I got work Monday. We'll meet one or another way. You too, thanks.

 

Been stalking your build thread... You happen to have the same shade of yellow that my other 210 has. Crummy pic:

Friday, June 9th. We hit the road onto Hwy 101 with a gorgeous scenic route. Left @6am sharp.

 

Trees of Mystery & Drive thu Tree were on the bucket list.

Pretty empty so pics came out great.

Not a single breakdown, or any need for fluids (except fuel). That's quite the accomplishment for 1,352 miles.

On other note. Driving the I-5 came across another 80-81 yellow 210. Quite the Scene.

 

Had a great time & met some cool ratsun-ers. Monday's work day, so that about sums up what I did sunday night/mid-day.

Trannys still grinding along in 2nd. Hasn't been doing all too good. Located a 60A to swap the F4W56A (56A) currently in yoko.

Would like to rebuild and drop in but I've hit another wall...

Can't locate F4W60A (4speed) synchros anywhere! So here's a Question: What are the possibility of using the FS5W60A (5speed) synchros?

Both are 60A series, so could I use the first 4 synchros and junk the 5th? Or are they completely different internals.

 

Quite the long shot unless someone knows where I can get some for the 4 speeds.

4spd F4W62 Synchros(Baulk Ring) # 32604-H9000

5spd FS5W60A Synchros #32604-H9700

 

By number, they are different.

 

Maybe at www.bearingkit.com

 

I was able to get 5spd parts there, worth a try if you haven't come across that website.

I've decided to go a different route. Shipping A-series stuff will crack my bank and doesn't look like a realistic setup for the long term.

 

So...

 

Picked up an L16 last week just in case I ever needed an L series for something. Today I picked up an F4W63A (26") to mate em. Both for under 200.

Went threw today and tore apart the L16. Internals are pretty good. Deep cleaning, definitely. Hone, re-ring, new bearings, & all new gaskets.

At least it sounds like a doable fun daily. Actually looked all over the net and couldn't locate pics with detailed steps on process. I'll be doing so then.

 

I'll keep using the A12 & F4W56A till I get this setup accomplished. Keeping the A-series drivetrain for smog purposes. 

Shooting for the next couple of months to have heart surgery underway.

A10 crossmember makes bolting an L into a 210 an easy affair.

 

A10 member, 210 control arms.

 

 

Need A10 L20B oil pan and pick up.

 

 

 

I know of one member that I sent those specific parts to that has zero current plans to use said parts.

Great list. Pandora's tranny box has been opened. Lol.

 

Wonder if they would pass the parts along.... I sure could use em'... I'll post something in the classifieds.

 

Are the 210 control arms just the stock ones or do I need to fab em?

Link to comment

Stock ones.

 

 

The member I gave my A10 stuff too will more than likely see my posts about it.

 

 

I aquired said parts to put an L18 in to a 210. Maybe THAT member will help me see my dream lived out.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm looking at you. You know who you are! Lol.

No you don't.

Would probably pass along the oil pan?

 

I already have a vintage Datsun Comp 7 quart baffled oil pan (with windage tray!) for my freshly rebuilt L18.      :cool:

Also, been meaning to confirm this for about a year now, but something is telling me the sway bars are different. Might need the A10 sway bar too. 

 

This... We'll see as soon I locate the member. 

 

L16 has been officially called "cracked space."

 

Found two cracked bolts. One of which was a pain in the a## to remove. None the less it's bore measurements as within spec, so a re-ring we go.

We'll see how it goes from here on. I need to make a new list of stuff that is needed too.
