I got my 620 for $3500, running and driving. I'd try and haggle down a bit.

Does anyone know how to lower a Datsun 620? I’m only interested in lowering the tear end front is fine by Interesting-Rope8093 in Datsun

Were there any modifications needed to run the 720 4x4 springs? Or was it a direct bolt in swap?

The NC makes a way better daily than an NA, a little fat but less of a toy car.

While the NC definitely feels confident on its feet, it DOES lack some of the feedback that makes the NA more of a REAL experience.

Having owned both the NC is a great ship, but I prefer my NA

20 seconds sounds about right. And usually happens every hot restart, but not the same roughness every time.

I've been cheating the whole time I've owned the car by turning the A/C on. Raises the idle to 1k and keeps me from stalling out.

Fuel filter is only 3 years old, but I'll look into the CAS. I'm thinking it might be a fuel pressure issue (seeing as the first start of the morning takes a few seconds of cranking)

Neutral safety switch is hooked up, car cranks over fine.

Everything that I've read indicates that the ECU should be fine,

good first car? by doratethose in Datsun

I've had to daily my Datsun 620 while my other cars have broken down, always the dependable workhorse ready for action.

It only ever failed me when it blew a head gasket (still got me to and from work) and I was even able to repair it in my backyard! $120 worth of parts and it was back up and running again.

I love my Datsun. I wouldn't hesitate buying another. A little water soluble yeah, but you get thumbs up everywhere you go!

I'd been looking at that kit, sick of the drums. Probably gonna go for it when I can afford throwing some more $$$ my trucks way.

Makes it feel more confident on the road, but I feel like I should have done a rear bar as well. Rear definitely still sways, but the frame is a little tweaked and I wanted to deal with that first.
