New World Datsuns...

Looks like a driveline failure to me.

None of us are likely smart enough to point to the exact start of this failure, but we together can likely get close once all the info is out there, more info everyday, it's a lot more active on the Ratsun thread about this, a lot more details about the last few seconds.

Yep, true.

I'm with you guys. Driveline failure I suspect..


just sucks having put the time and money into it and pretty much fall in love with my truck again just to have this happen.. now I'm going to be grinding my teeth more once I get it back on the road.. Also I know I'm going to fix it! I'm not one of these people that give up.. haha maybe if I stuck with the ka-e swap this wouldn't have happened... The lz2.3 is nice as fuck tho!! A beast really and having built it I can't just walk away.. Some people in my life don't understand why I would continue to spend the time and money on fixing this truck... they just don't get it.. oh well..

now I've got a chance to have another datto too. If I can get it 'ANY WHERE CLOSER' to me it's mine. 620 l20b long bed. Sitting in front of flatcats 210.. needs a carb and dizzy. I have them things. Ha. Not ball joint..
any who...
I've been awake for far to long.. I really think two days now.... :/ work night isn't over yet either..


I think tomorrow night I'll be headed to portland to work.
Check this out. I get paid for the drive there, really any where we drive we're getting paid.. I've gotta go on a road trip next week for 4 days down to Lewiston and eastern Washington.. I'm given 80 bucks in cash for food and the company pays for a room.. pretty sure Lewiston is an 8 hour drive... that's a full day of work at 11 bucks an hour for fucking driving! Awesome! Haha
Life is getting better.. slowly.. now let's get me another datto.. 1200 or 510.. wagon or whatever beside a10. Haha

Thumbs up on that last paragraph. My vote is for a 210 wagon as backup ride.

Alright guys!! I'm back on the road.


Really it was all banana and his son.
So I've gotta thank them.
I helped pulled the block that was about it. So thanks a ton guys for the help! They may not be on here but I've gotta say something. OH shit and tdaaj for the temp 4 speed.


Drove 30 minutes or so from bananas house to mine and things were good.. Some oil leaks I've gotta find out more about.

Either way I'm going to it the datsun meet I set up for tomorrow the 8th in Tacoma Leftys burger shack google is your fucking friend if you can make it use Google to find Leftys burger shack! I should be there around noon.
I know alot of you guys may not be around these parts that's why I plan on having another meet. I'm thinkimg you Vancouver mother fuckers better show up if i come down to see your Datsuns..
Not sure yet when I'd like to do this but I always have Fridays and Saturdays off. Sooo feel me in on where we can hang or what nots..
Flatcat! I'd like to get some more info on how your datto is coming along.. I know you'd like to get some hush - hash parts but I'd really like you to get the mother on the road!
I know what's up tho. Just get some little stuff done a day. Need a tent thing to cover it so you can work on it? I could make that happen..
Next week I'll be in kennewick I think for a day for work. Not sure about times yet but when I know shit I'll let you know. I'll also be in the Lewiston ,Spokane a few other spots too.

Yes!! MOAR DATTOS

I really want another datsun. . Be it a truck or what. I can have this long bed 620 in front of flatcats place. I have no way to get it here in the oly area right now.. at the moment it doesn't run. And has no carb Oooorrr dizzy. Parts are missing from the og set up and would best to use a weber now.. I have a carb and mani.. no dizzy..unless cats a nice guy again.. but 620s are not really the truck I want. King cab yeah!

This thing isn't that bad. Not sure what I wanna do with it.

I was able to make the meet I set up!!

I had a great time! And got to see some sweet dattos, just like I wanted.

My truck is alive, after this mishap... settled on driveline failure.


Now I'm rolling lz2.3 stock 4 speed, driveline. Thanks to ted and Andrew. Tdaaj..Banana.. of fat510 say wel.

It's a working progress.... With a job that's getting me 500 buck weekly things should start rolling along. Got a line on a long tail 620... 100 bucks.. and stiiiiiiilllllll have half the parts for a for wheel disc brake swap..

Going to get this done before new years I'm hoping.

Should be picking up a 5 speed the 2nd.
Gotta buy fully loaded calipers..
hardlines.
Jrock should have picked up the fitting needed for me.

Picked up new ka-e pistons. Nissan!
Slowly build ka-e.

Maaaaaaaay drop the E head on the Lz depending on how good this raise is I'm getting..
Well see.



Saving 'truck money' in a folder. Each paycheck I put 50 bucks into it.. might step it up to 100.

I can report that I do have


thanks wayno!
Not in yet but! The old stuffs out.

Had to clean it.


Need to put a speedo drive in it. Remembered when I put oil into the Trans... opps.
Also it looked like I was leaking some from the rear seal.
So I'm changing that as well..
whats today??

Oh it is friday. Later today after I get off work and sleep I'll get back to the 521. Hope Ita be driving by night.

Best pic evar^^^^

But you need to move over a bit. It's a little more effective right behind the ear.

Back on the road with a 5 speed.

You forgot the midplate.
