New World Datsuns...

Stuck the one piece under the truck and it fit great! Bolted on I decided to lift the rear and start the truck, Wheels spin!!  I've got an oil leak from the oil cooler sandwich plate so I've gotta fix that. Other then the small oil leak I've gotta redo my exhaust. I'm not using the same exhaust that I was I've got a ribbed mani and a different down tube that's a bit shorter then mine.


Really not sure how I'll fix the exhaust yet.

Drove the truck up the street! 

But! I've got a pin hole in my rad, small crack under my water pump. So the front cover. And still an oil leak from the oil filter sandwich plate,the filter is tight idk why it's leaking. 

Still no exhaust.. didn't drive far.

Make a new gasket for the filter plate.


You could maybe JB Weld the front cover?

private video lol wtf

Hit the front cover with a 5lb sledge. Wtf is with your radiators dude? lol

Fixed that for you izzo.


And dude I have no idea what up with the rads.
It sucks dick I've had 5 different radiator.
3 521 stock rads. Next thing I'll do is probably electric fan bluh bluh. Haha
I'll job weld the case forsure. Or if the jy has one I can grab.

Remind the junkyard about that 1 10mm bolt behind the pump.

Shitty day if they fuck up 3 covers learning the lesson.

The problem

What's the problem?

Not really a problem but couldn't find an adapter so I can extend to the back.. my down tube is also cut it the wrong place for a adapter cuz it doesn't bend towards the back just moves it closer to the ground.

I use exhaust flex tubing all the time, it lasts a few years and then springs a leak, after a few fixes I usually think about going to an exhaust shop for something a little better, but so far I have got by without spending the money, the work truck has had flex tubing under it for years.

I'll look into a flex pipe. I want one of those flanges so I can just make my own down tube.

521 Lz2.3 drive:

Sounds like a healthy L to me

^ I'll be doing some more driving today.. Hainz over on ratsun asked if my clutch was slipping.. or if I knew how to drive haha cuz he thinks he heard something of the sort.. I asked about what time he heard this noise.. I didn't hear anything tho.
And the clutch forsure isn't slipping disingenuous nicely.

You didn't hear something like a slipping clutch did you? Or anyone.
Only wondering.

I did and kinda chuckled. I just thought you were a little heavy on the gas and not enough clutch. Lemme listen again and I will let you know.


edit....between :30 and :40 sounds like you slipping the clutch or it is slipping itself

edit #2....maybe you just a little excited to hit the gas...I know I would be.

Hum.. I think I can kinda hear something. But like you said it's probably me. Definitely excited!!!

Also my throttle cable/gas is a little different then how it was. Not use to it at all. Gas pedal tighter when I push down.
Other wise things seem pretty damn good to me. It's a monster! And I haven't put my foot really into it yet. Gotta Learn the shifting and gas pedal..

Thanks for the input tho. Forsure will let you guys no if something up with the clutch..

The throttle kinda stick too.. something I'm looking into as well.
Its the make shift pull throttle set up. Not the best but hell, idk how I'd make a better one... or maybe the placement of the throttle cable isn't in the rigjt spot and isn't pulling the throttle all the way open.. don't know how I'd mount a spring to make sure the throttle goes back to where it was..

Oooorrr maybe the throttle is to tight and making me idle higher. Now that I think of it.. I think this is something that's going on. If the truck is in gear it goes forward as I let off the clutch, without pressing the gas. But I was so excited about driving and going I didn't really think about it.

Don't mind me, I just got done driving with my son in his 620. He meant to go from 2nd to 3rd but went into 1st.....3 times!!!

1st time was funny
2nd time annoying
3rd time....Its time for dad to drive! LOLZ

I think you are slipping the clutch a bit on every gear. The fact that its sounds like the same duration in every gear means its probably your foot, and not the clutch.
