1Low620 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 over the weekend I rebuilt my carb and got my pathfinders mounted up finally, still trying to find a local steel yard with some 2 1/2 x4 square stock that don't charge 28.52 per ft. Quote Link to comment
sdsurf Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 hitachi carb or weber? If hitachi what kit did you use and how was the difficulty? over the weekend I rebuilt my carb and got my pathfinders mounted up finally, still trying to find a local steel yard with some 2 1/2 x4 square stock that don't charge 28.52 per ft.

1Low620 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Stock Hitachi ( think its a dch340 ) the kit, I got from Yello620, and it appears to have covered several models guessing from the left over gaskests. Difficulty wise, it wasn't too bad and really helps if you have a worksheet of some sort to go off of. My only pain was the tight fit around the carb, they sure don't give you much room to work with.

1Low620 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Did it come with a worksheet? Nope, but I went to http://www.olddatsuns.com/data/Hitachi_Carb_DCH_DCP_DRJ340.pdf click on the wiring diagrams, then scroll down to the Nissan Hitachi carb service worksheet. Quote Link to comment

79D50 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 On Saturday I took off the 15" 5 Star Moderns and put on 14" American Racing Chromies. The tires and wheels look 100% better. Before and After Pics on the way. Also, replaced the heater control valve and ordered Solex Door Locks from Hong Kong...$46.00 shipped. Quote Link to comment

DAMN Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) New here I have a 86 720 KC Today i painted my valve cover here is what it looked like before the weber all stock! Then got me a new Weber 34/34 carburetor! Here it is sitting next to the crappy hitachi! Valve cover removed and stripped of paint using paint remover in an airisol can. Next i primered it with heavy particle primer and wet sanded it down with 400 grit paper until it was smooth! Then my camera ran out of memory..hehe so heres what it look's like with almost everything installed! Im loving the look! Now i just need to get the NISSAN Z decal made and put back on the valve cover! I also lowered the truck 2in and will post pics up as soon as i get the body cleaned up a bit. Hope everyone enjoyed the pic's!! Edited December 1, 2009 by DAMN Quote Link to comment

alleycat Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I used the Forerunner rear window seal and it's perfect! I purchased two NEW ones from the dealer for $35 (that's for both). Take the old clips off and reuse, and cut the trim with a pair of tin snips as there is a metal strip embedded in the rubber. Don't make it too tight a fit. The first one I did, did not ride against the window, and I found out I had it too long and it made it bulge. Trimed a little off and it seals nice and tight against the windows. I will get photos and post later. what year 4runner seal did you buy? been wanting to do this Quote Link to comment

Roadracer Al Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Bought an electric fuel pump (wtf? fuel pumps used to be $20~30, now they're $70?!), plugs & plug wires, and some skinny LED trailer lights to replace the smashed up OEM rear lights. Oh, and got some new vacuum hose to replace the dry-rotted one to the vacuum advance on the dizzy. Amazing how something so simple will make such a big improvement. Quote Link to comment
TrevDaddy Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Replaced the choke cable. I was going to fix the float level too, but beer got in the way. Quote Link to comment
