Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

There is no evaluation, every car is different and when you get to the age of some cars - they have had many people, many years, and many trips on them. Trust me, Alice isn't looking her age! She is a character..... All is going well - slight delay due to the shortages that seem to be affecting ever...

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

If the voltage regulator is indeed dead - I can make a solid state replacement. They are surprisingly easy to make using only a resistor, transistor, and capacitor and a small heat sink. I may even have one or two that I built laying around from when I had a rash of Mopars with issues.

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

RPM Act

I don't know how many of you have/haven't heard about this but here is the link : https://www.sema.org/epa-news Basically what the EPA is attempting to do is "ban" the ability to modify any production car for racing use. This even extends to engines that come out of production cars. Basica...

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

Thanks for the compliment Randy! I figured I would document this well since it would probably be a good rough guide, or answer a few questions that people have. The 411 should hopefully be done in a week and a half or so. I hit a snag when I ran out of a couple colors of wire - and like everything i...

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

Rear harness fabrication! As mentioned earlier, the factory rear harness was ran underneath the car - exposed to the elements. This I would be willing to bet is the cause or a major part of the cause for the re-wire. I ran the harness under the carpet / rear seat inside the cabin of the car to elimi...

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

Let's make a front lighting harness!! I always scribble down a primitive diagram - just to figure out how many runs / colors of wire I need. Usually I will stare at this a bit, and realize I forgot something (I did in this scribble - I needed one more wire for the running lights.) and that gives me ...

Re: Datsun 411 Wagon Re-Wire

Rainy Day Update. As I still wait for my wire order to show up..... lol. But here is a few little tasks that are getting done. The stock ignition switch only had a couple positions and probably is pretty low in amp-handling ability. I have a bunch of these generic GM style ignition switches laying a...
