PRODUCTS:


​Kingpin Rebuild Kit - 320/520/521   ***NOT AVAILABLE***

Kingpin Rebuild Kit
 
 

This kit has the bushing holes modified to line up with the grease fitting in the spindle. It will include 4 extra shims, just in case.

A simple, but effective bushing removal/installation tool will be included with this order and shipped with the king pin kit).



THESE WILL NOT WORK FOR THE 620.

Master Cylinder Push rod - Datsun 411   ***NOT AVAILABLE***

Master Cylinder Push rod - Datsun 411 ***NOT AVAILABLE***
 
 

I only have a few of these left and then I will not longer make/sell these.



Whether running drum or disc brakes, changing the master cylinder(m/c) to a dual circuit unit is a great safety upgrade. The stock push rods are not compatible with the newer, dual circuit m/c's. These have been created to use with the upgraded m/c. 


​
​Spacer Set for 320/520/521 Inner Bearing Replacement  (click for more info)​      ***NOT AVAILABLE***
Spacer Set for 320/520/521 Inner Bearing Replacement
 
 

The inner bearing for these models has been extremely hard to find. These spacers allow you to use the readily available inner bearings from the '72-'77 620's(drum equipped) trucks.

Spacer for 320/520/521


Hardbody D21 Adjustable Upper Control Arms (click for more info)    NOT AVAILABLE

Hardbody (D21 2wd) Upper Control Arm Set(2 arms) - ​***NOT AVAILABLE***
 
 
These upper control arms(UCA) provide far more caster/camber adjustment than can be obtained by shimming the stock UCA. They are designed to bolt into the factory position with the existing factory bolts.


The custom cross shafts are machined from 6061 aluminum.


Chrysler 772 ball joints are used in these carriers.


If you would like to take over manufacturing these, contact me. I have a lot of turnbuckles and rod ends left over. If you buy those from me, I will give you the CAD model.


​
DATSUN TRUCKS - 320/520/521/620 (1963-1977) with drum brakes and king pins


Adjustable Tension Control Rods       ***NOT  AVAILABLE***

Adjustable Tension Control Rods for Kinp Pin Pickups (320, 520, 521, 620)
 
 
Kit includes two adjustable tension control (TC) rods with bushings. These will allow the position of the lower control arm (LCA) to be "tweaked" to compensate for suspension changes that may have happened over the life of the vehicle. A lot of TC rods get bent for various reasons. When these trucks are lowered from stock ride height, the TC rod pushes the LCA to the rear a small amount. This kit will allow the LCA to be placed back in the correct position. These are not intended to increase the caster by pulling the LCA forward more than the factory setting.


The ends at the bushings can be worn from metal on metal contact due to worn out bushings. The new bushings have a boss on them that will help to keep this from happening in the future. The mounting holes at the core support and LCA will need to be opened to 9/16" which can easily be done with a step drill bit. I round file or metal cutting burr would also work.


The kit will only be partially assembled due to shipping constraints. The turnbuckles are zinc plated, but the rods will be bare steel. The customer will need to apply whatever finish they prefer, ie paint, powder coating, plating, etc.

​​320/520/521 Aluminum Disc Brake Upgrade Kit​​ (click for more info)   ***NOT AVAILABLE***

320/520/521 Aluminum Disc Brake Upgrade Kit Once stock is gone, they're done.
 
 
Kit allows later model hubs/rotors/calipers to mount onto the stock kingpin suspension with a simple modification to the spindle. This kit uses '87 D21 rotors, not 720 rotors as the previous kit did. Hubs from multiple years of Nissan trucks can be used, but some may require modification to clear the center holes of your rims. 
FOLLOW THE LINKS FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ​HUBS, DONOR PARTS, AND ADDITIONAL PARTS REQUIRED.
This is the aluminum version of the previous steel kit, and does NOT require the wheel spacer to fit stock 14" steel rims.

This is, basically, the same kit as the 320/520/521 kit, but with different inner bearing adapters and metric hardware.

​REAR DISC BRAKE KITS by Kiel Lippel - @kielbasaind

Not sponsored.  Kiel makes a rear disc brake kit that uses the factory parking brake cable.  

copied from his IG post: 
 Datsun/Nissan 521, 620, 720, hardbody rear disc brake brackets in stock. Uses 1990 trooper caliper pad rotor and hoses.
Allows for more frame clearance on lowered trucks and very easy attach factory parking brake cables than other kits that have been available.
These are machined and welded in house, here in Orange County, Ca.
I’ve never posted these on Instagram because most of my followers are vw guys, but for the Datsun guys who been following recently, here you go. Hit me up if you want to grab a set/questions.
I am also putting out a few new products out soon. One being a proper center link flip for the motor swap guys on the 620. So keep an eye out for that.

​
311 Roadster Disc Brake Upgrade Kit ​ (click for more info)
          ***NOT AVAILABLE***
311 Roadster Disc Brake Upgrade Kit ***PAGE FOR INFORMATION ONLY***    
 
 
This kit is used to push the stock hub out far enough(approx. 1/8") so that a modified '96 Altima rotor can be mounted to the stock hub. The rotor needs to have the center hole opened up to fit the backside of the hub(approx. 3"). The rotors and machine work can be obtained elsewhere(locally) for US orders. They MUST be obtained locally for overseas orders. A stainless steel caliper spacer is used to mount/center Volvo calipers. This kit only fits the Roadsters already equipped with stock front disc brakes.
The feedback from customer is that the stock, dual reservoir master cylinder works well with this upgrade.

​Option A: Modified Altima rotors for 311 Roadster Kit (pair)​         ***NOT AVAILABLE*** 
Option A: modified Altima rotor(pair) (for 311 Roadster Kit) ***NOT AVAILABLE***
 
 
The center holes are opened up on the rotors to fit the backside of the stock hubs. They will also have new mounting holes machined in them to better fit the 7/16" factory bolts. These rotors will be made to order. The brand may vary due to availability. They will be stock Altima replacement rotors such as Centric or Raybestos. Drill/slotted rotors can be machined for this application. The price depends on the cost of the rotors. It is possible for you to send in the rotors of your choice to be machined.
