What did you do to your truck today?

[Andyinc]

Worked on my 521 today

[TrevDaddy]

Removed the old bumper mount brackets to make way for new stop-rust painted ones. Tried going through the front valence at first but then realized it would be much easier to simply pop the hood and loosen them that way. :rolleyes:

[Madness]

made it shiny.

:cool:

[denveratsun]

Ripped the POC heater core out and found out why it sucked so bad! Got some of the cores cleaned out and resoldered the leaking fitting. Actually have warmth in my truck now! A...mazing! :P

[720Joe]

The factory Hitachi all you have to do is remove the top, rinse out the bowl, spay carb cleaner through all the jets and passageways and put the top back on. The most common problem is crud in the bottom of the bowl where the main jets fit.

I wonder if thats the reason for my low end bog.

Yesterday I Took the distributor out and cleaned it and made sure the vac. advance was still functioning.

Tomorrow ill put my new corner light on and whatever I see that needs to be done.

[hessianben]

put on some 2" adapter/spacers that i've had for a year but had snapped studs...

replaced broken studs and installed...

mucho tuffers!!!

 

[jrock4224]

tow strapped her home after a night out....

[DatsunKid]

My 620 became my daily driver today :cool:

[Fuelrags]

LOWERED IT 2/8/10!!!!

 

[slowdown]

covered her with a tarp..she gets real wet inside..

[moparvwfreak]

drove her to Granite Falls and back. she sounded terrible, but made it there and back without issue.

[Guest DatsuNoob]

Capped the rear of my frame with some 2 1/2" sq tubing, gusseted and welded it in, bought some more supplies to finish up the fuel cell install (steel, rubber, and fasteners). Trying to add weight in the rear. Pics to come

adding wieght so it'll actually hook up under moderate throttle??? LEAD.... lots of it :D

[Guest DatsuNoob]

HAHA, yeah. Traction is going to be a little bit of an issue. I'm hoping my beefy fuel cell cage is gonna help preload the leafs a litle. That and 15 gallons of gas behind the axle should help quite a bit

Put a FAT Girl in the bed Instant 300lbs!!!!!

[Guest DatsuNoob]

I was thinking of something more along the lines of a couple kegs of PBR and another bench in the back just for fun. (was actually thinking of picking up a keg for Canby if the money's there around that time) I had fun cruising around in the back of Carlos's truck, sitting on my old bench with Lynch.

[720Joe]

Lowered the front further. Got new tires on the rear, finally have both 15's on the rear. Seafoam'd it (found alot of exhaust leaks.) ^_^ Ground down 18 layers of paint on my hood, now I have a black racing stripe. Is it just me or is older paint just really thick?

[moparvwfreak]

bought a motor for it. its gonna be in my carport sometime this weekend.

[TrevDaddy]

changed the oil, plugs, and wires. Then I adjusted the valves, which went well. Afterward however, the truck did not perform well. It's stumbling in all gears, but idles and revs smoothly. I guess it's back to the drawing board this weekend, it's good that my motor build will be rollin soon.

Looked at mine and wished I could drive it. But its raining and no fender wells and rain don't mix.

Did you recheck the specs on the valves after you tightened them? They like to tighten a tad more after you torque them tight which will make them run really tight and possibly not let them close fully.

[TrevDaddy]

I did recheck them, and all seemed well. However, I did adjust them hot, and by the time I finished they weren't really warm at all. I'm going to try again this week, hopefully it'll turn out better this time.

[drxfter]

Whipped off the front wheels for new tyres, inspected the front end - looks like I need an idler arm and some brake hoses - amongst many other things!

[denveratsun]

Chainged the Castrol Syntec that had been in there for a LONG time! Way nice to run synthetic but I end up taking advantage of it too often. :unsure:

 

Started working on a stereo system to fit in the glove box and speakers that will be out of sight...all for the long trip to Cali that is coming up soon...

 

Tunes would be nice somewhere around the Utah border. :P

[Roadracer Al]

Speaking of tunes, I gave up trying to find an A-pillar style radio antenna at local parts store, and just installed a standard whip model in the front fender. Now I gotta weld up the nasty big hole in the A-pillar.
