well finally its over and running...
i just score a 1970 510 2 years ago...and last year i had the chance to get a salvage s2000...mmm lets see what are my options???
a bastard swap it is...!
yep, a bastard swap! i receive some hate, but also some love too...lol
i had a guy who just came to me on a datsun meet just to tell me he didnt like my swap...
i think every to their kind, but i would rather play a little more..so why not? gts on f20, s13 on vq's , EG on K series.. why not a 510 with f20c? <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/rice.gif" BORDER="0">
here's the tale:
I would like to share my bastard swap just for kicks...
i started when finally bought my datsun 510 around september '06,
then had to sell my recently finished built boosted crx, early 07...
then i had the chance to get a 01 ap1 to part it up; and around April 08 the 510 adventure started.
to be honest i was really scared if i would chop away a decent 510 and throw away complete s2000.
heres the sacrifice i made, to sell my crx ! still miss my little bucket...


*cry*
enough teary memories.!
heres how i got it..
picked it up at gardena, and drive it back to the valley...
wich was a trip, because it really needed some working brakes ...


here's the donor...an nice s2k w / trunk bashed.


then pulled both motors out ... no funny work doing alone...

lifting the dime to test the sucker down...


after some clean up and paint anti-rust cosmetic stuff..


ordered some things and fuel adapters..



then motor went in.

then some wiring mayhem! a 30'ish old wiring mixed with the new..!

used the stock fuel tank with the s2k fuel pump...also had to re-route the gas lines and the brakes lines had to be made too...
custom accel pedal, prop valve location and a lousy buggy hand brake who tends to slide ...
cleaned the subfloor and layed a new coat of bedliner
ordered some honda stuff...
rsx-s muffler...

new clutch, custom driveshaft, sway bar .. etc.
and after some couple of working weekends....
then after some time i got it off jacks to check the clearance..


the oil pan cleared 'bout 4" ! that meant i passed " bumps 101 ".
and finally.


still some work ahead, tuning, paint and also making my mind if ITB's would be a good idea to; upgrade hand brake, look for a stiffy suspention etc.
i short tale the building pics because it was a messy job.
other stuff replaced: maxima brake swap, eclipse suspention, 280zx front brakes, s2k seats brackets, evo arm rest, s2k cluster bezel etc...
wanted to share progress so far.....
the reason i choose the f20c...its because i knew a little more about the wiring and i had access to it.... had the chance to use a vq, but ...the f20 would be much fun for me...
im not a puritan...so sorry if this offended you..( nissan to nissan, toyota to toyota, honda to honda guys etc.. )
but i just love my datsun whatever engine it has..! it fun to drive..! <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/popcorn.gif" BORDER="0">
