New World Datsuns...

what the hell is happening to everyone..

dinked around with the exhaust today.. i guess you could call it almost finished.... took a little bit to make the metal look okay. i dig it.. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/farmer_joe620/Mobile%20Uploads/20150222_134332_HDR_zpsrmm6tnic.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/farmer ...

you nailed it.. you remember what ways you can go around town so you dont mess shit up.. lol ive gotta raise the engine a touch here soon.. its sitting a tiny bit below the engine crossmember, so its hit a few times.. when i get the coil springs in it, ill see if i might be able to run it a little ...

thanks guys!


lol, it doesnt "hurt", but goin over old railroad crossings does bang ya around a little... haha

the new cams make the top end come on kinda like 2 stroke power... i think its kinda cool how it runs now. sounds a lot better now i hear it from the camera perspective.

went for a drive to take some new pictures... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Kr25PSjIc http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/farmer_joe620/Mobile%20Uploads/20150217_174233_HDR_zpsdmwvkab4.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/farmer_joe620/Mobile%20Uploads/20150217_174310_HDR_zps4esdgwb1 ...

got a new video camera.

went with the cheapo SJ4000 non wifi go pro knock off.

for $75 its pretty good. plus i had a $50 gift card, so that helped. lol

ill be there.... come hell or high water, im goin..

the 620 needs rings, and the 411 needs built.

gotta get the parts from the yard to get the 411 goin...

sooo much to do.

gonna see how the money end of the deal turns out.. it anything, i think ill just re ring the DE. when i think about it, the single cam needs a set of lifters and the timing chain at the least. it was getting low on compression too. if i can just get it to stop suckin down so much oil, ill be in ...

thanks for joining.. well, back at it with the oil consumption issue. topped it off, drove it to work and back and checked it the next morning. from full, it looses probably more than a quart in 50 miles of driving. now most of my driving it on the freeway. its mostly the high RPMs that i notice the ...

back again.. so i think i finally have most of the issues ironed out finally... its been running pretty good in this warmer weather weve been having. it snapped down to 28* tonight and it fired right up and run like a champ. it looses intake velocity if you get on it right off idle.. runs like a top ...

so ive noticed this engine uses a lot of oil.. made a post on FB a while back and didnt realize id had drove the truck mush more than i though i had. thought it was using much more oil than it really was. finding out that it uses about a quart every 100-150 miles.. so it needs a rebuild at some ...

yeah.. i kinda like this pile... lol so the snow has finally melted for the most part.. started it about a week back when it was pretty cold.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNtR8lTpoxg this is how it sat for the better part of a week.. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/farmer_joe620/Mobile ...

the work truck still has a single line brake master cylinder?

doesnt it have disk brakes on the front?

yeah.. some days im not the sharpest knife in the drawer.. hahaha

i didnt think the back tires were that bad honestly. havnt checked on em for a while.. then BAM, snow.

so the truck is not good for snow driving.. tried to go to work in it with the 2 inches of snow.. got like a mile away from my house and spun out at least 3 times. soooo, i turned that shit around and parked it. didnt realize the rears were bald... found that out when i got back home. the welded ...

new plates were $2 for the pair..

stupid, but not piss me off stupid.

got a new alternator belt this morning. no more squeaky belt. im excited! i can run my headlights and heater at the same time now... yay

wooo... drivin it to boise and back again. it does pretty well on gas. but i have been driving the 2500 recently. that fucker is only getting like 11mpg... noticing that the heat is never coming up. temp gage stays in the cold. the first time i drove it before the cold snap, i did get it past the ...
