Some guy from instagram. Gota find his name, I was happy but not completely satisfied, he did a good job polishing and restoring but when I got it it had a dink and the back part of the light Basel and he told me it was a 68 but don't recall him saying it was for the wagon Quote Link to comment

I’m with you, he gave me a month for the return, became way over half a year, he also charged a deposit which I was on with then the rest when finished, well turned out he wanted to get paid before(several months before finishing). Because he had to move shops and blah blah bs, as a costumer not my problem as a business owner I understood so gave in and paid. Still very disappointed on that whole experience. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jsoi510 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 With the help of these lads I was able to get the brakes in:) and test fit the shoes, cheap shoes because it needs more important things to run, 😂 it’ll get spoiled with some nice shoes later. 2k stimulus don’t go through ☹️😂 2 Quote Link to comment
Jsoi510 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 been while since i been on but EL DATTO is almost out and riding, but troy work in the suspension and got it ready for the road, as wel as the brakes. finally got the diff cut welded and rebalance. neeed my front glass a clutch master and a few test runs to see what im missing and ill be out. right now im having issues with it trying to get it running smooth as is running super rich. came out the maf is bad as the sensors inside if it are no longer in there. so hopefully that fixes the issue other than than stoked to almost be out! 1 Quote Link to comment
Jsoi510 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 so we all like videos lol this was exciting to see as well as a very proud moment of mine. first run after sitting for over 10 years with me and another 7 plus years with the previous owner. swapped but still runs really rich. and i cant figure out why. enough black smoke to cover the block, idles better with maf disconnected but of coarse wont rev pass like 4k help? lol 02 is in, knock sensor is in, no egr or swirl valves on, new coolant temp sensor. only thing i can think of is timing but ive set it to the second mark to the left on the crank pulley. rotor was facing #1 plug and #1 piston was all the way up need to order some nice headers and go get the piping redone as its also currently running the stock ka24de cast headers to the 510 piping . 4-2-1 typer of flow. also previous owner had installed this antenna on and after sitting for so long i wondered if it was gona work still. yup still working! wired all in correctly and switch attached to dash so close yet so far 1 Quote Link to comment
Jsoi510 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 And the Katsun is running! check it out. Wanted to make it to the datslocos even but couldn’t finished it in time. Even now I been doing the fine tuning. So far had to raise it because it was rubbing on every tire, even after a light fender roll. there’s a really bad whining I’m thinking it’s my transmission or The diff which gets really hot to the touch ima 10 mile drive highway and street speeds or maybe the hub??? Has a bad wobble in the rear driver it has new bearings and the disc hit my caliper. Instead of my pads . other than that it’s all groovy. all lights work all gears work all sensors work sits are in brakes stop engine is timed to spec spend 2 weeks trying to figure out a extremely rich issue which I was misdiagnosing as setting my timing wrong. turned out to be a tps issue, which I trace to the ground circuit being shorted out right behind the ecu connector. Solder it backed up and it started like a brand new engine. Compression was 165psi in 1-3 and 180 in #4 I’ll be posting some more vids in the YouTube channel, as I drive it more. Manage to put it some nice old schools sits too. I’ll post the pic of those later I need help identifying them:) glad this thing is running after being sat since 2006. 2 Quote Link to comment
