thanks guys.... I actually work at a audio/video shop. We do custom installation in cars, homes, and commercial. I am only 20 and love doing hands on work. Lambo is my dads, its a murcielago...pretty fun but hopefully my dime will beat it after it is done(although the v12 behind your head is somehting thta cannot be explained lol). I am trying to do everything right the first time...my moto being go big or go home hehee. WHOLE reason behind getting this car was Me previous car(2003 EVO) was modded alot 390AWHP and was a attention getter. I got hassled SOOO Much in my town(3 tickets in one week to be exact)with that car having to pop my hood constantly and being hassled for aftermarket parts. When I got a state referee ticket that was the last straw....Now I have a SMOG-exepemt car...put whatever I want on it and tell the cops to F off when they wanna gimme a ticket for a modded motor now.HEHEHE previous evo; full bride interior and cusco cage And my car BEFORE THE EVO(first car actually)prob why went back to it..still have the love for the dimes

I'm going to assasinate you and steal your life and your cars

Good luck!

very nice, very nice. i like to see that you are doing your own work, it makes it even more valuable.

damn. i love those seats.

oh p.s. what do you think about the datsport mount kit? im looking into them for my next 510.

Havent mounted the kit yet...waiting for the car back from paint to mount it. I will let you know though. But the qauality of the kit looks very nice

oh, and once more. where did you get the Bride fabric at? thanx!

Got it from a friend who is a mad JDM freak..had an extra 6ft laying around lol. Also I got the black fabric to go on all the other parts wher the gradation wont be.

Thanks for the compliments guys....I will post pics as soon as its back from the booth. Gonna look TITS.

Also...beefed up the diff. ALOT. Pics STOCK(r160 open) VS NEW(r200 LSD baby!)


WOW MUCHO BIGGER!
This diff is a rare find and anyone that knows what this is knows it can handle some major HP. I scored when I saw it on a local f/s add for cheeeep. It is also the LSD version(you can tell by the cooling fins on the cover) which was avail in 300zx turbo 88-91or something.
LSD FTMFW

I am going big so I will not have to worry about any problems down the road. Also this diff bolts into the factory location belive it or not, but I will have to go with custom CV' axles.
Will keep you posted whenI get some more pics:) stay tuned!

WAHT DOES THIS FAP MEAN

as for the speedo, there is a speed senor from z31's that fits the sr/ca/ka trans, and its cable.

i believe its the 83-85 but im not %100.

look into it.

QUOTE=ca18datsun510]you sure the diff fits? im pretty sure you have to mod the mustache bar.

can you make sure?

that 510 is definately a monster...thanks for sharing your PLOG

"The bitterness of poor quality remains after the sweetness of low price is forgotten"

I have a R200 LSD in my 510, and had to do that, along with cutting out a bit from the x-member too.
I went with custom CV axles

we hardness tested them before and after, and the hardness didnt change at all.

I'll try get some pics later.

thats the only pic I got on hand, I have some other pics at home tho

I can't believe how clean and original was the car from the beginning, even had the original chassis OEM stickers....got any pics from the initial time before you started modding the car??

love it mang....

WOW!! Can't wait to see what it looks like in the end. But are these the type of offsets 510's use? cause I always thought they used the same offsets as Z's.

Im using +41 offsett on my 510, using 280ZX struts, with a 25mm spacer
