bluterus Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hey everyone I'm Pete, Recently I finished work on a Datsun 620 1500 ute only to have it written off 2 days after finishing! :cool: This was her And this is after So it could be fixed but I really couldn't be bothered since I didn't really have my heart in the car anyways. I was devastated that soo much work went to waste but soo much more excited now I have a KE70. Here is the car I bought for $400 its a 1983 CS with 5 Speed and blue interior with full centre console. It is completely stock and has 152xxx kilometers on it. I'm going to cut out the rust since it has some in the boot, rear left wheel arch and bottom left corner of the rear window. I'm also going to do a 4age conversion, respray, lower, mags and tint. So far I have acquired a tacho dash, gizzmo dual stage shift light, 4age bigport, AE71 crossmember. Still chasing some parts so if anyone can help with the following it would be great. T Series Diff and tailshaft T50 box with clutch slave, fork and tailshaft I'm going to use the two to make a single piece tailshaft. 200mm Clutch and Pressure plate to suit. RWD extractors preferably 20v 4 into 1's XX model plastic door bumper trim things for the side. Most important ECU & Loom! The engine that I bought was going to come with a loom and ecu but the guy wanted too much extra and the loom was stuffed. Now as for colour's I was thinking gun metal grey, champagne with black rims, tail lights, windows, bumpers and XX trim side stripes in black or the exact same black bits as the champagne but in white. Painting isn't a problem just after doing my datsun a full respray seems like a lot of work especially on a sedan so I was leaning more towards white. Any suggestions on colour?

I was leaning towards gun metal grey but dunno if it would look plain. I'll definitely be needing help when it comes to hooking up the loom the rest shouldn't be so bad.

bluterus Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just a bit of an update. One of the original sealed beam lights were blown so I replaced them with some crystal H4 headlights which are 500 times better than the sealed beams. Also fitted some 130w hella driving lights and now I can actually see where I'm going. Here's a quick pic the driving lamps look a little out of place at the moment but hoping they will look good once I've resprayed the car. I have acquired nearly everything for my conversion. Managed to get a few parts from some of the guys over on AE86 driving club. so far I have only a 3 Rib big port 4age, ECU, Loom, RWD Mounts. Picked up an ADM T50 on the weekend which I'll probably eventually swap out for a JDM once I find one. Got an F1R 6 puck brass button clutch & Aisin heavy duty Pressure plate Got AE71 steel rwd engine mounts, tranny rubber mount, gearbox x member and engine x member. AE71 pedal box and clutch master with line. All I need now is Fuel pump, fuel regulator, extractors & T18 Diff then I'll start my conversion.

bluterus Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ok so I wanted to put a stereo in and I haven't owned a sedan since 04 and just had utes so I really missed having decent subs that aren't slimline. So I was going to spend a fortune on a setup but couldn't be stuffed since it is only a rolla and resorted to some cheap stuff but it should still sound ok. Just gotta buy another 6rca out pioneer head deck with sub control and some 6 inch 2 way pioneer speakers most likely the top of the line ones. Here's some pic's of when I was testing to see how I should mount it all. Stuff as follows: 2x Powervox amps 140wrms x 4 (wonder how long they will last they feel so cheap no weight) 2x Performance Teknique 12" dual voice coil 500wrms 1x Performance Teknique 15" dual voice coil 600wrms 1x SSL 2 Farad Capacitor. Also got a bunch of stinger 4 gauge wiring, splitters, fuse block and other things from a setup in one of my old cars. I know the subs are ok cause my mate has them but I dunno about the amps all my experiences I've had with cheap amps are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) looks alright, take that 15inch sub out unless you want to lose output Edited February 25, 2009 by Roo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluterus Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 looks alright, take that 15inch sub out unless you want to lose output I think its a bit over the top I'll see how it goes all together prob will pull out the 15 though. What do you mean by output? Like power output? I'm not installing any of it till I respray the car and put in the 4age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
