rosso Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 So waiting for parts I decided to work on the cargo area now that I can get to everything. Decided to work on sound deadening. Start after a bit of cleaning and polish: add sound deadening back together The panel is really dirtier than it looks - everything I try just does not seem to get it clean. Anyone have a really good cleaner/protector/not real shiny suggestion? 2 Quote Link to comment

rosso Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have seen and read about their products but not tried them yet - I will investigate again. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was also about to suggest 303. I've used it on vinyl and on plastics and been very impressed with the results. 1 Quote Link to comment

rosso Posted July 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I have been searching my garage and house for a headlight eyebrow trim piece that has disappeared. What I found was trim pieces I didn't know I had or needed, such as the cargo mat metal rear hatch trim. So I installed it. One more thing out of the garage! Yay! 2 Quote Link to comment

Anyone know a good installer for our old cars? I have not found another windshield yet either, but am hopeful for some leads. Does anyone have a windshield they want to sell? It is now not looking good to make it to Powerland with the car...bummer. Do it yourself, start at bottom work your way to top. Use soap and water good rope. Slap the window don't pound on it. 1 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Fixed the small water leak at the thermostat housing outlet. Speedometer pinion gear is not leaking and it's been about a week since I replaced the seal. So all the fluids are taken care of. I am waiting for a master cylinder to replace the replacement that has been leaking no matter what I do. Back ordered of 620 Raybestos 13/16" cylinder. If it does not ship in a week, I will order a Centric premium from ebay or rockauto. I ran the engine up to temperature today to check the water leak, and the thermostat opens, the electric fan starts and stops and idling in the garage at about 70 degrees ambient the radiator and fan just keep the VG33 cool. Good thing I live in the Pacific Northwest! 🙂 So other than the master cylinder, I'm done. I can drive it while I do all the other cosmetic and doodad stuff. The car sounds better in real life. 🙂 Edited July 23, 2021 by rosso 4 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you want to try a 3/4" here's a NOS Nabco Japan on ebay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/154190241950 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 that Brake master the output go out the side. Rosso got to change brakes lines then Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I am set on using the master cylinder from a 620 which is direct bolt in and 13/16" - just a tad bit larger than 510 stock. ( I have 280ZX calipers) I have all the cross reference parts - all are currently not available at any site I can find. Raybestos MC39279 - Rockauto - signed up to notify me when available Bendix R11839 - good caps like Raybestos Beck/Arnley 072-6570 Wagner MC96889 Premium (Tokico body) ACDelco 18M146 Nabco body - ordered from Summit Racing - back ordered ACDelco 18030388 Nabco body same as above My backup plan: Centric 130.42303 master cylinder for 620, 13/16" bore (plastic caps, generic body) So now I wait and check sites daily to try and score one of these. Centric is available at many places. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 How about one of these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/164964047290?epid=76141752&hash=item26689f99ba:g:rkoAAOSwG0Jg8n00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/333689796691?epid=220385433&hash=item4db1763853:g:r6oAAOSwmY9fOUbY https://www.ebay.com/itm/184309965488?hash=item2ae9bae2b0:g:HIMAAOSwgope0Sgk The last one would be the best score...if it didn't look like it'd been sitting in a wet cardboard box for 10 years Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I don't know how savvy you are with ebay searches, but this is the string I put in for all those: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=(mc39279%2Cr11839%2C"072-6570"%2Cmc96889%2C18m146%2C18030388)&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=(MC39279%2CR11839%2C"072-6570"%2CMC96889%2C18M146%2C18030388)&_osacat=0&_sop=10&LH_PrefLoc=2 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 HI Matt, Thanks for the links - I usually search for one specific item that is my first choice and then move on to 2nd, 3rd. Searching all results for each item trying to find available and best pricing. The master cylinder I prefer is the Raybestos like this: 1 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I am tidying up things - like putting the splash panel on. Only problem is there does not appear to be any fasting place for the REAR part of the pan. Front two bolts are fine. I have the pan sitting on top of the sway bar but underneath the frame is nothing either. Any BTDT or picture of one installed. Here is what I am seeing: And yes, you can see the messed up paint from all the leaking master cylinders I have been dealing with. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 You need the little tabs/brackets 2 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Looks like they disappeared long ago by a previous owner. I think I will use a zip tie just to keep it from rattling for the time being. Thanks! EDIT: Done! Edited July 23, 2021 by rosso 1 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted August 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Still waiting on a master cylinder - so I pulled the stock 510 tach off the shelf and installed it. Since I have the VG33 V6 I bought a converter box from Technoversions in Arlington, Washington. I did not have to take the tach apart or mod it in any way. Just wired up the converter box as in the instructions and here is what happened: The owner, Brian was super to deal with - he checked the tach was working, calibrated it and sent back in one day. Super service and I am so happy to have a stock unmolested 510 tach working with the V6. The converter box is small enough to fit right next to the tach behind the dash panel out of sight. https://www.technoversions.com/ Now I just need to find some bulbs so I can see the tach at night. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I have the opposite problem. After I retrofitted a 720 tach in to my 510, I added some LEDs to the whole gauge bezel to light it up better. Ummmmm....so......yeah......I had to do a bunch of work to chill that out some. But one the Speedo side, you can see what white LEDs do in the stock lighting locations. Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Does anyone have the exact bulb number and fitting (?) that I need for the stock tach. My tach is missing two bulbs as shown in picture of the back of the tach: Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 It’s like a 156 bulb 194 will also fit but it’s more dim. 156 or 165 is brighter. You can get these at Oreillys or autozone. Quote Link to comment

rosso Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Took the car out for its first gas fill up from a pump. With my wife - giving me a "Victory" sign. 🙂 And then off to JiffyLube for all the new suspension fittings to get lubed: And over the pit and all greased up. And then home again with no major incidents! All in all a good errand run and now I have a new to-do list. 3 Quote Link to comment
