Diseazd Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2012 Great deal.......looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted September 22, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) That looks really pretty, but... in "as it came from the factory(otherwise known as "stock") form" NOTHING under the hood was polished or chrome plated ...so if your friend paid $550 to get the look of a stock engine compartment, he must have paid for "stockish"It does look great though!

sblake01 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2012 The compressor used on that AC system wasn't available in 1973 plus it has a condensor mounted electric fan; not stock. Looks great, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Moore Posted September 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2012 He does still have the stock fan, (visible at 0:30 in the video) someone just added a pusher fan for extra cooling.(Give him a break, it gets hot in Kuwait.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT240KGTR Posted September 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2012 That is excellent value for $550. Looks great, clean and very original. Well done, wish there was somewhere in Australia that would do this for so cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great, however.I told him to remove the front electric fan, as well as to change the color of the starter ( black ) the starter as what we saw in the old broshures ( gold and gray )we recieved the 1973 ( AC ) do u mean a different shape of comp. was thier ?thank u for ur positive comments.

sblake01 Posted October 2, 2012 Share #11 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) we recieved the 1973 ( AC ) do u mean a different shape of comp. was thier ?That appears to be a 'mist jet' type compressor. Nissan didn't utilize that type until 1979. A 1973 would have had a 'swash plate' type compressor which would be visually distingushable by the side cover which the one in your video does not have.
