If you're fishing for interest (or since you are), yes I'll certainly be following this as closely as I can. :wink: I too have some iffy or marginal tail-light housings, same issue with crumbling plastic. Seems to me your idea of attempting to somehow "permeate" the material with some sort of epoxy ...

I'm running a 2" pipe with no resonator and a Magnaflow muffler on my L20B with SU's, and find this combination really nice. It probably has a little more steady-state noise than if I were running a resonator, but I think the smaller pipe offsets that somewhat. Just a bit of deeply mellow whoosh whe...

Hi Jim; I had exactly the same experience with exactly the same crappy parts, a year ago. I couldn't believe RockAuto sold these things for the 510, they're so incredibly out-of-spec. What the...? As Michael suggests, I ended up ordering the genuine ones from Nissan and of course they fit perfectly....

Just in case you haven't already read enough-- and seen enough pictures-- here's a quick "PS" on top of everyone else's accounts. If you live within reasonable range of Kelowna BC and haven't been to Knox, you ought to consider putting it on your bucket list to do so. This was my first time there, a...

Great plan Keith (& others). I'm also grey haired and-- according to our sons at least-- in the "old fart" category. There are certain circumstances under which I'd dispute that... but it's becoming more true all the time. Saturday it is then! I told Brenda about the offer to hike up and putter our ...

Hey Keith, thanks for the detailed info. Should be easy for us to meet, since you're willing to hang around for a while in an obvious spot. I'll make sure I wear a Datsun T-shirt to make things a little easier on your end! :D Looks to me like you're planning to head up on Saturday morning then, righ...

I'll be heading down this Friday from Edmonton with my wife-- but sadly not in our 510. It's not ready for a long trip yet. Even so I'm really looking forward to meeting whatever Datsun folks can make it. Knox has been on my list for a long time and lots of stuff had to be juggled to make it finally...

No problem Dave-- let me know. They're here if you want them. (PM sent)

This a good thread about cunifer lines too-- mostly discussing brake lines. http://the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=26600&hilit=cunifer Honestly though since this stuff works great for hydraulics, fuel is a total non-issue. Extremely low pressure compared to brake lines, and pretty much the same...

Hi Dave; I've got 2 of these switches available but unfortunately both of them are missing part of the outermost trim-- the black ring that surrounds the blue centre section. Here's what they look like (both are the same). IMG_9534 comp.jpg I have no idea what happened to those rings; they were both...

So-- backpacksaddler, did you get one yet? I might be able to help. Shipping from Canada, unfortunately... not ideal... but if you're still looking, it's an option at least.

Did you ever find one of these? I've got one if you're still looking.

I hear you. Getting our kids engaged in these fiddly, old-school projects can be a real challenge when they're used to quick results. That's what I found with our boys anyway. Eager to have their own vehicles, you bet! Not quite so eager to invest the time it takes to learn how they work and how to ...

I chased vibration & noise for ages and finally found that the bolts holding the factory tranny mount to my 71B 5-speed were coming into contact with the crossmember (Experimental Engineering) when load came on and the driveline rotated ever so slightly on its axis. Bolts with a shorter head took ca...

I hope you're hearing it-- you did a great job describing & illustrating that process. I'm saving it for later. Thanks a lot for sharing what you've learned.

Steve
