This video rocks! Your build is freakin sweet I’m doing a KA swap on my ‘78 620 right now, and am curious if you were able to use the stock instrument cluster for the swap. Thank you!
Hi. Where did you get the can am box. Only place i seen is james site but its sold out, and their facebook has been inactive since 2023. the how to forum is from 2007
This is awesome! I love the topper with the white wheels and white Datsun on the tailgate it looks great. How difficult was the swap? I have a 620 that I'm going to CA18det swap this summer I imagine it's a lot of the same process.
Thanks!! The topper fits it so well, and the white is such a good color paired with the blue! It wasn't terribly difficult. The KA24DE is a very well-supported swap on these trucks, we didn't even have to fabricate motor mounts. The CA18DET has definitely been done before as well- I'd imagine it's almost an identical process. Scour the web, Ratsun.net is a fantastic resource. You'll likely end up using the same CAN-AM box (wiring/relay box) that we did to simplify the wiring. The wiring was pretty tricky to figure out- I may make a video detailing the wiring in the future. To hopefully make it a bit simpler for future swappers!
Louder does NOT= better..In fact louder just makes people associate you and your ride to douchebag status and anything else youve done fun to your ride will be completely disregarded..trust me. A rich tone is sooo much more impressive and respected...just sayin bro.
Fun fact: I discovered recently that Pure Gum Spirit Turpentine clears up acne in just a few days to a week. Just mix it with a carrier oil so it won't evaporate, like vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil or MTC oil. Rub it in affected area and that's it. But don't use hardware store turpentine, it has to be organic, contained in a dark glass bottle, not in a tin can.
We did not, the crossmember was fab’d by a member of the Ratsun community. I don’t recall who, but I can probably figure out who it is if you need to get one
Sorry for the late response- missed your comment. Most of the wiring info came from the Ratsun forums. It’s pretty complex, you’ll have to dig a fair bit to get the info you need, but start there. I’m going to try to put together a “wiring” video soon in which I’ll explain the general details of how to wire it.
Nice! Keep it up! and cherish every minute working on a vehicle with your father, time goes by like a blink of an eye. Great Job Dad!
Bring that badboy to Powerland!
Love the videos, don't know how im just finding them now.✌️
Nice truck I loved datsun after watching yours driving
Awesome! Great job!
We need more 620 videos
This video rocks! Your build is freakin sweet

Thank you!
Nice upgrade. I would have loved a KA24DE in my 74 620. Great motor, had one in my daughters 01 Altima.
It really is a great motor. Super sturdy, plenty of power.

Always nice to see other 620 fans giving these trucks some love, check out my 620, I've got a unique swap in mine.
youtube recommended your channel.
That is so sick! i can't wait to do this to my 620. Also, where did you get that beard gang sweatshirt? i love it!
Thanks man!! An old girlfriend got it for me from a thrift shop!
I am a big fan of magna flow. I used the same tip on my last build!
They make fantastic products. I'm thinking of putting one of their mufflers on my Civic as well. Nice!

Thank you! I agreed until I drove this thing without the exhaust :P

1: NICE WORK!
2: Your dad looks like future you came back in a time machine.
3: What's the story on that 318ti?
1: Thank you!!!
2: Ha! I can definitely see that. We're certainly a lot alike :D
3: I wish I knew- didn't even realize there was one in the video!
Nicely done, need to quite mine up a little. :)
Thanks! It’s so much nicer now that it’s quieter. Such a worthwhile upgrade!

Did you custom make the transmission crossmember?
We did not, the crossmember was fab’d by a member of the Ratsun community. I don’t recall who, but I can probably figure out who it is if you need to get one
El Camper está bonito le talla al carro,donde consiguió el Camper me gustaría uno así es alto
bubble windows 😂😎
Hey man what transmission you got in that thing!!!! Need help
It’s the 5 speed manual out of the 1998 240SX!

@@waystomakeit2494 ok thank you
@@waystomakeit2494 any idea of when its gonna be out?
Its probably not backpressure, you probably built a system that has good scavenging properties
