Wrecking Yard Report

[DanielC]

The evaporative emission tank has more ports, to hook up the vapor- liquid separator.  It requires you use a vented gas cap.  The junkyard truck had the wrong cap, one for an evaporative emission 521.  I took it, to get a stock Datsun gas cap on Ratsun.

I was down in Portland this last weekend and I did some wrecking yard cruising while I was in the area. I was on the lookout for 720 4x4 springs and a front brake conversion from a V6 D21, and a side mirror from a T100.

 

This is all as of Saturday the 5th of March 2016.

 

My first stop was Buds Auto Wrecking off of 82nd Ave south of Foster Blvd. That was a total strike out, no Datsuns.

 

Next was LKQ on Foster, they didn’t have anything that I was looking for, but they did have a good selection of nice bucket seats including this pair of red vinyls out of a 1980 Pontiac Sunfire (I had to look up what they hell that was)

 

They are asking $120 for the pair, and I came really close to walking out with them, but eventually decided to pass. I know where to look for seats now though.

 

Then on to Pick N Pull on Foster (I think it’s officially called PickNPull Portland South)

Found my T100 mirror here, but that was it for me. The rest of you might be interested some updates on the following:

 

521 pickup (I think that’s what it is, it’s already in this thread a few times)

 

 

 

 

Not a whole lot left in here

 

 

Cool steering wheel

 

210 liftback

 

 

 

The body looked really good on this thing

 

 

Another wheel I kind of regret not pulling (I could really become a steering wheel hoarder)

 

 

Dash is really nice

 

720 Pickup

 

Lots of good parts on this thing

 

 

 

I don’t think it was a 4x4 though, but it was pretty hard for me to tell. There were no badges denoting it.

 

Hardbody Pickup

 

Engine was missing, but I don’t think it was a V6. I don’t know these things well enough to really be sure though. I think the calipers were single piston though. If it wasn’t raining I may have pulled some of the front suspension off of it. There were no other Nissan trucks though so I could not have left with all I needed anyway though.

 

My iPhone orients the pics correctly, and then windows does the same, and then when I upload them they're all flipped around, I'll see if I can fix that.

The blue one is a 210, not a 610.

Went to Hobo Spiders BBQ the other week and decided I should stop in at the Arlington Pick n Pull to do some shopping, and ended up spending more than 3 hours there.

 

Found this hens tooth:

 

 

 

 

Which (Until I got there) still had it's rear leafs. It was sitting on them at the time so getting them out of there was a challenge, but I wasn't going to leave without them. I asked at the front desk about lifting the thing so I could take them, and she told me to come back on Monday and maybe they could do something about it (this was on Saturday) Fortunately the thing was light enough that I could lift a side at a time and kick some slightly taller supports under the frame until it was loose.

 

There was also a beige 720 that I guess I didn't take any pictures of, but that one is not a 4x4.

 

D21s galore:

 

This one's a V6 and still has it's brakes, bring a lug wrench

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

along with this one that I took the brakes and MC off of:

 

 

[hobospyder]

I need to get the rubber off those wheels I got from you so I can use them as spares

 

Again, thanks for coming out, was nice seeing and meeting you.

 

And just hobo is fine, everybody will know who you're talking about

Hey Mysta2, you should check those hardbodies for limited slip diffs...

[thisismatt]

...and get me one!

[Cleopatra Jones]

Went to check out the '81 210 at the LKQ in Wilmington yesterday and it was a big ole disappointment. The car was there but half missing. Literally half missing. The entire front had been cut off. The inside was a wreck so no cool gems to be had.

Went hiking in my favorite Honey Hole in Denton TX looking for 280ZX rear springs.  Found this pretty straight '73 610...and bought the whole car for my son.

 

[Abe Froman]

Wow, that rear trunk spoiler.....

[MicroMachinery]

That's a 74'. Get me that spoiler... along with the rest of the car.

[fredges]

I want the alternator and the bench seat outa this 521....

Ahh I see. It's got a build date of 6/73 so I figured it was a 73. Good to know :)

Pretty nice stash of junked Nissans in that yard!

[Draker]

Locals probably know of this car. It's pretty much gone though.. rust rust rust

Yeah...I can't believe they haven't crushed it yet, does it still have the biohazard tape in the front driver side?

 

Any other dattos? I was going to go do walk around yesterday but then the accident got in the way....

No tape. Some good parts still on it too. There were some other datsuns out there too. This was the one that was most interesting. I was looking for subaru's... but that yard is a mess to say the least.

[KoHeartsGPA]

Ya, the subies are near the front few rows deep, as you come in the gate go straight for about 5 rows of cars then go right and you'll have 5 to 6 there....then again...last time I was in there was about this time last year...

No go on the subies... I looked around. I found one that could have had the CLSD.... the car was complete front to back... except the rear crossmember was sitting on the ground... minus the diff.

 

I'm too slow.

That 610 wagon was posted on Facebook a few days ago. I pulled the rear hatch trim, rocker panel trim,clock,& both headlight buckets yesterday. It still had 3 good doors,& a little bit of rust on the 4th one (left rear),all with door panels fairly decent condition ,the rear hatch was still there, & still has its "spoiler " the hood is still there. Still has the engine &transmission, air conditioning parts in the engine bay, but interior part is gone. No seats,dash is a little busted up. I may go back for a few more parts,but it's pretty much picked over already

There's a B210 listed in th Chula Vista PaP in So Cal, but the pics show it's really a 77 200SX. Has anyone seen it to know if the engine is still in it?

[Sierra]

I am thinking of going and checking the 200SX this coming weekend.

I will post pictures if is still there.
