I think there is a video a few pages back, maybe the last page.

So It was a no go on the door.. beat! just left outside not on a truck for to long.
However the guy is a member on ratsun just never on any more do to life, He and his dad are building a 510, with i think he said full A.W.D. Sr or... Idk
car look pretty good, full roll cage..510... Ha. the Sr wasnt in it yet, no all wheel drive stuff either.. lots a Datsuns in the guys life so it was cool to talk to another person into them.
I told him about NWD and to maybe even hope back on Ratsun.

just want to say if your looking for 521 doors, make sure their for a 521 and not for a 520. They look the same so check the latch in the door jam, the 520 is in a different location.

[uberkevin]

Not really looking for doors just seen that they were 521 doors and wanted to maybe buy them if they were in alright shape.

I thought the hinges were different but I wasn't sure.
What about the bed?

[Ni10]

the beds are the same.

their is something else that makes the doors different but can't think what it is right now.

[uberkevin]

Isn't it the latch? That's what I've read I think.

[DRIVEN]

Looks like it got hot. Really hot.

I think I know who you're talking about with the AWD 510. He used to own one of the 1200s that Banner's brother has. Had a red L320 too. He was an early Ratsun guy I can't remember his name though -- something to do with B2k. Haven't seen much of him in a few years.

[Ni10]

awe, I know who your talking about, it's LAYEDOUTB2K from Kennewick, WA

had a red L320.

he's not been on Ratsun in 4 yrs. Nice guy

[dat77sun]

wow no wonder it was making noise, musta been overheated before i got it, never once got hot when it was in my posession

[flatcat19]

I told Kevin it looked like burnt oil all over the motor.

Cyl # and #4 pins were a bitch to move back and forth.


On with the 2.3 build!

[uberkevin]

Thing he said his name was Chase. But yeah he shows me some photos of a 320nl he has and a few other cars like the 1200, I wanted to ask about banner but didn't. I told him we didn't care if he was making pprogress on the build just that it isn't forgotten... So I hope he get back on his dattos.

Tomorrow if I don't have to work I'll take the crank out and get the block hot tanked and cleaned.
Then maybe off to talk to a shop to do the 2mm bore to the block.

Ill start to get parts together after the bore and pistons are pressed on the z22 rods.

[dat77sun]

thinkin when i ran it outta oil it wiped out the rings on that cylinder and caused the damage to the cylinder wall, it woulda made noise if it was a pre existing problem, never made noise until i ran it outta oil

[uberkevin]

Did you have a big ass oil leak?

[dat77sun]

not until the very very end, valve cover always leaked, got way worse when i ran out apparently

[uberkevin]

Just glad i have to bore the block anyway. Would like to get it to the machine shop within the week.

[flatcat19]

Did you have a big ass oil leak?

Are you kidding me? That thing was covered.

That thing was burning up oil too. As fast as it was spilling it.

didnt burn it when i was running it that i noticed, yea it always had a oil leak but got severely worse right before it blew up on me

[flatcat19]

Oh it was burning. The head, rings, exhaust manifold were all caked with burnt oil.


Oh well. She will breathe again.
