New Project 620

[six2ohyea]

Feel accomplished. Lol never thought I would be able to wire up these light’s myself. Now fingers crossed I don’t get a fire. Lol thanks to everyone that answered my questions and helped. 

[six2ohyea]

Ceiling wire brushed (not as bad as I thought) rust converted and killmat on. Just waiting for the headliner to ship.

Darin- referring to those mentioned in the post above for the 1200.  Part numbers 96301-H5950 and 96302-H5950.

Oh ok. Yah it says discontinued on nissanpartsdeal.com. That’s why I asked that question.

Messin around with ideas… slapping some stock hub caps on the ugly new wheels? Lol 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

You can buy hub cap clips from US Wheel and Wheel Vintiques. Then either drill holes in the wheels and use #10 screws and nyloc nuts to hold them on or tack weld them. If you have a large lathe, spin the bare wheel in the lathe to scribe a concentric line which you can use to drill the holes. A roto-table on a mill will work, or even a tire balancer and a steady hand.

BTW - I really like that look.

 I checked the numbers directly on the Nissan corporate online orders site and it said in stock.  I ordered them and received no notification they were not available.  I should find out next week for sure, as I will pick them up at the receiving dealer then.

Making interesting progress on the truck.  Really need to find the time to work on my 620 soon.

To turn on with ignition? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[six2ohyea]

This was my final wire up.

Why in the wide wide world of sports would you only want your headlights on if the ignition is on. No car made is that way.

It’s not the actual headlights. The halos around the headlights are what I wired up. (Running lights if you will) The headlights themselves are still connected to the original switch.

That's what I was thinking for being powered through the ignition switch - power in the run (key on) position. This has been the standard setup in Canada for a long time, not sure how widespread it is in the US

I don’t have any of those tools unfortunately. Thinking about taking this approach. 
 

 

 

The only thing is I would have to make my own template. Thoughts? 

[datzenmike]

Not often you see a car these days that does not have daylight running lights. When I drive my 710 I always turn the headlights on. This is because people look and if they don't see headlights they may think nothing is coming.

 

My pet peeve is daylight headlights should be more than just the headlights, it should be ALL the lights. Idiots get in and start up and because the headlights and dash lights are on with the ignition they drive away without tail lights. 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

The worst is the new thing with the reverse lights. They come on when people are sitting in their cars in parking lots.  So you think they are backing out, but they are really just checking their insta.

[six2ohyea]

Pulled the rear window. Hopefully get the headliner soon. Gonna pull the windshield next. 
 

 

 

also… the original paint was blue. It probably wouldn’t bother most but can’t stand how the interior pillars are painted blue with grey exterior paint. I’m going to attempt to vinyl wrap… wish me luck! 
 

 

[six2ohyea]

Vinyl wrap kind of matches 

 

[six2ohyea]

Used a rubber for the first time and it felt good… changed out the old door window channels. Just need to add some adhesive. 
 

 

also started the vinyl wrap. Already looking better. I need a lot of practice though lol

I think that would be fine myself!!!!!!!!!!

I know on my 510 there is a switchable aircond fuse wire that is tucked up under the fuse box. not hooked up

 

maybe a 620 has this also a spare switchable fuse wire

Yeah I had a AC wire that the radio guys hooked up to the radio. I’ll probably have to retire when it comes to using the AC again
