Post Title: Tell us about yourself thread.......
Posted by: Bandit240 at 12:25 PM 5/2/2005

I figured we could do a thread to tell each other who we are and how we got into Datsuns.

Ill go frist....

My first true Datsun was a 1979 Datsn 620 King cab truck, i traded a almost dead sentra for it. It was rusty, only had 1/2/R and a bad slave cylinder, but ran great. Ive since took it town for parts and still have its motor in a 1976 Datsun 620 truck. After the 620 trucks i found a nice 1980 Datsun 210 wagon for all of $300. Its been over 1-1/2 years since we got it and its still going strong. It had 200k when we got it and just rolled over to 250k a few days ago. There is a rebuild in its near future. After getting it i found a nice non running 1976 Datsun 620 truck for $150. The cab had rust in the rockers but the floors and bed were soild as a rock. Its going to be made into a work truck over the summer. Just a few months ago i found a very nice 1978 620 truck that i had to have. Its only got 78k on the clock and no rust that ive found. Runs great and has made 2 trips from TN to SC. Im hoping to see either a 240Z or Roadster in my future.

The 1978 620 and 1980 210 are in my sig, and the other trucks can be seen at http://www.cardomain.com/id/bandit620

My dad had always worked for Nissan when I was a kid, so naturally I was familiar with Datsuns. Every car that my parents ever had (during my lifetime) was a Nissan or Datsun.

When I was 15, my parents offered to buy me a car if I could find one for under $1000. So I found an '81 210 in my neighborhood. It wasn't for sale at the time, but I figured it had to be less than $1000 and it was a Nissan, so I knew I'd have the most valuable source of info to fix it...my dad.

I knocked on the door, and asked to buy the 210. They only wanted $800 so I was good to go.

I drove that car until about a month before I graduated high school, when I bought a 200SX SE-R. The 210 got handed down to my brother. But in 2001, he bought a Sentra Spec V, so the 210 was back in the garage. My mom then transfered the title back to me, and gave me the car for good.

As of right now, the car still sits in my garage. I've had to rebuild the engine, and it currently does not run. However, the only thing wrong with it is a coolant leak (however, very bad leak). I plan on fixing it real soon, however I just got frustrated with it after working on it for so long (rebuilding it, etc, etc). Even though I'm now on my 3rd car, I refuse to let go of that first little car, unless ofcourse it goes into the hands of another enthusiast that will keep it running.

I bought my first 1971 4-dr 510 in 1997, and have owned one ever since, I am currently on my 3rd, a 1973 2-door sedan. I have also owned two B13 Sentra SE-R's, an integra a few other things.
My first 510 underwent a few L-series engine swaps before landing a KA24DE. It was my first real hybrid engine swap, so it wasnt the prettiest. But it ran very reliably throughout my college career. I had to sell it to move to Calofornia for a job. But I picked up a ratty 510 before I moved to california, but it was not up to the grid lock commuting, so traded it for an SE-R. A short time later I acquired my 3rd and most beloved 1972 510. I had plans for an SR20DET swap, so now that I had the car, I could get started.

So 2 years later, and I move up the west coast, I am now the proud owner of a built SR20DET powered 510, with many things that make it unique in the world of 510 engine swaps. Only a handful of other people can say that they did EVERYTHING themselves. I have not paid a person a dime for any work done.
It has been running and driving for about a year and has been a blast. I can scare the sh*t out of myself very easily in the car, and it can out run just about anything on the street.
I am constantly improving everything on the car, The only things that are stock is the steering box, the unibody, some interior pieces, and the exterior trim pieces.
The car rarely goes more than a month before I have it up on jack stands and working on it to improve something or another.
These are unique cars (68-73 510), and I feel lucky to have a nice one.

You guys know me....

No Datsuns in the garage (yet), currently it's full with a 95 Q45t, a 93 240sx droptop, a 97 Pathfinder and a 95 G20t. All but the G are modified...

Looking for a Roadster at this point to restore. Don't want a rustbucket, but I also don't plan on spending much, so I'm being *very* selective. It's gotta have no rust, no body damage. Engine and interior work I can handle, but I don't want to do any bodywork.

Figuring if I find a 1600 it'll be lightly modded, if it's a 2000 I'll restore to stock.

when did you get a G???

hmmm Datsun...well...I've got an '85 200SX Turbo(not running )...it lacks the Datsun badges though...I remember riding around in my uncle's old Datsun pickup when I was kid however...

I'd love to have a two door Dime sometime....and a 610.

I've always had a love for the Z car family since I was a little kid. I got my favorite, the z32, in 2000 and then purchased my s30 in September 2005. Much like anything that's good....you always want more. I look forward to building my Nissan/Datsun collection. Next datsun is going to be an old pickup I think.

Where do I begin... I guess the most logical comment to make is that, I love my 1970 510!

My father was an avid enthusiast for these wonderful cars when I was growing up. He started with a roadster when he was in college, and then moved onto dimes. He had a wagon and a 4 door, both of which were real strong and real clean! He had a special place in his heart for these cars, and was forced to make a decision... When my parents had us kids, he had to get rid of the wagon, and get a mini-van, and a drunk driver totaled the 4 door, and "just like that" both of his babies were taken from him. This all happened when I was a young kid, and not a Sunday would go by, where he would sit in his chair and look through the classifieds, to see if anyone was selling a 510. He never did get one, until last Christmas...

I researched and found him a 510 that was not too rust ridden, and surprised him with it on Christmas morning, and watched the tears of joy as he saw his new car.

With all this being said, I spent the time to researched this car, and fell in love with it. I recently graduated college, and worked up the funds to buy one! I love it, and have plans to build mine, as well as my dad's so that we can have something to do together! There you go guys, that's my story in a nut shell.

BTW...I noticed this thread is pretty old, so an update on my car:

It runs now, and runs good. However, about 3 weeks ago I was driving it when the tranny went out on me...completely. Gears sound like a blender now.

But I'm going to SC this weekend to visit Bandit and pick up a tranny to get the 210 back running again. So all is well

I posted this in another forum, figured I'd just copy and paste it into here:

I have been a Datsun man my whole life. I grew up with my dad telling me stories about how he used to race his 510, 1200, and Roadster and just blow people away...while at the same time getting good gas mileage and being a blast to drive. When I was born my parents drove a Datsun STATION WAGON and my dad owned two 1970 1600 Roadsters which we used to play in all the time. When I was 4 we moved to Japan and took our Roadster with us. My dad bought a 1978 Sunny GX Coupe complete with dual SU's and all. I remember us driving back from Mt. Fuji on the expressway at speeds well over 100mph in that car (cause at the time I was scared he was going so fast!). Our family became friends with a Mr. Suzuki through a foreign exchange program, he was a very wealthy Japanese man and president of a sports car club out there, also a Datsun fanatic very much into racing/restoring. When we left Japan, we left our Roadster with him to be repainted/restored, which he did meticulously, but we ended up selling it to him cause my parents couldn't afford to ship it back at the time for some reason. Besides, my dad could still have fun in the near-new 280ZX (S-130) he bought while over there and shipped back with us. LOTS of memories associated with the 280ZX. All of my brothers and myself pretty much learned to drive stick in that car, it was my dad's daily driver from ~1984 to 1998 when we sold it to one of our best friends, who now is selling it BACK to my brother this summer! Anyways, in high school (1995) my dad got the chance to buy another 1200 (B110), so that became his new 'toy' and daily driver. We helped him tear it down, rebuild the engine, and turn it into a pretty quick and fun little car...I learned nearly all my mechanical/car stuff working on these cars. He bought another TWO 1200's as parts donors which I was given one to fix up and drive my senior year. I drove one of them well into college, and restored the other one in the mean time. Shortly after junking the first one and finishing the second one, I wrecked the newly restored one. Instead of moving on, I quickly found another one and trasferred all my 'goodies' to the rusted out one I got for $200. I drove, broke, fixed, got stranded, and loved/hated that car all the way through college, and bought a Primo condition one for my graduation present, thus sellin the rust bucket for $400 more than I bought it for. I still have the one I bought at graduation, and am getting ready to restore it all the way maybe next year. Currently it's just about the fastest car in town and my pride and joy (NOT the 240SX!). Anyways, back to the story, my brother started telling me about Silvia's back in high school and how you could get a well balanced RWD turbo car nearly comparable to the Skyline for half the price! I kept that in mind until after college when my brother moved back to Japan and bought a 180SX and told me about how much of a well balanced car it was. When I moved to Japan a year later with my Datsun, I had plans to install an SR20 out of a 180SX into my 1200. So I found a guy with a 180SX that had been trashed on the outside, but had LOW miles on it and otherwise was perfect. I bought it for $1000 and it became my daily driver because I loved driving it so much. I finally decided I'd find another one to 'drive' so I could do the engine swap with the current one and picked up a perfect red 180SX for $1200. I fixed that one up REALLY good and did lots of touge/mountain racing with it up in Okutama and the surrounding area while I did the engine swap on the Datsun. I eventually got into a bad wreck in the 180SX and pulled all my goodies off of it. Besides, I finished my Datsun and had to move anyway, so when I came back to the US I now had all these S13 parts, a love for convertibles, and no daily driver. Naturally I went on the lookout for a nice convertible which I found in Houston for $3000 with nothing wrong with it. Towed it home, threw my parts on, and swapped the engine all within 5 months and I LOVE it. It's taken some of the love away from my Datsun unfortunately, but I'll get to that car soon enough. Nothing has come close to cruising with the big Texas sky overhead, tunes blaring, and blow off valve and exhaust singing away in sweet melody. I love Nissans because they are VERY interchangeable, designed really really well, and I've been with them my whole life.

Hello all!

My name is Justin...

Bought a 1970 Datsun 240Z...

It has all the usual problems from rust, to the faulty electrical. I have owned a 1978 510 (in a horrible shade of green), and a 1983 280ZX...

I think I might have bit off more than I can chew! LOL

I cut out the passenger side frame rail... and welded in one that was not cut in half because of battery leakage. Beat the rear drums off with a hammer... pulled all the brake lines, and fuel lines... Started rebuilding the L24 engine...

This seems like a LOT of work.... But in the next few years I hope to have it in the same shape as her sister car:

This car has the exact same options, wheels, and color.

I know that the 70 model is getting harder and harder to find ... but, I am seriously thinking that I should replace the stock rearend with the R200 from a 280ZX (get CV shafts instead of U-Joints, and rear disk brakes).

Anyway, I am gald to meet everyone here ... and maybe I can be a bit of help from time to time.

1970 datsun 510
right now its pretty much a shell with wheels
has a stout L20b in there right now but that is
getting replaced with a ca18DET to be pushed by a GT3076R-WG turbo. Fully built engine in the works along with about 400crank hp that would be a prospective 320hp at the wheels. full supporting mods soon to come. coilovers all around and a 6 point cage and 5 point harnesses. its just the begining of the project.

right now i have a daily driver 320hp 415lbs of tq dodge SRT-4 that does 12.5@111mph with a bad clutch. with clutch replaced prospective times are about low 12's and with some stickier tires that would put me touching the 11's but i am not putting any more money besides basic maintenance on the SRT. tired of spinning the tires in 3rd gear on the Freeway cause i can't get traction due to FWD

I felt in love with 280 after I saw it protential after cruising down the freeway around my town when I witness it left an M3 behind. then I was in search for 280zx. I finally found one about 2hr away from home. but it a 83 non turbo. From this stage, what can I do, to do something like the 280 I saw disappearing over the horizon? any tipper?

swap a turbo motor in?

I think Nissan Motorsports makes a hotter cam for the L28E.

thankfully, the motors have had more than 30 years to develop aftermarket parts for them.

Im a Auto Tech/Auto Body/Welding/Sheetmetal Fabrication College student who is broke as a joke and an absolute gearhead. I attend Northern Maine Technical College. My first love is Mazda Rx7s. I personally own two of them an 86 and a 91. But I recently aquired an 83 datsun 280zx 2+2 in near mint condition or so I thought and I still love it Like one of my Rx7s. Come to find out It needs alot of sheetmetal reworked and replaced. But that is all. Everything else is Showroom Condition seriously. I have started to rebuild her. Its actually a good thing I saved her or she would have been a Pancake by now due to being donated to the college I attend. Here is a few pictures of her before I started gutting and replacing both floorpans and trunkpan, both front fenders, drivers side quarter panel and rocker panel.I am gonna top her off with a full MSA Style 2 Body Kit.

New to the site here. I am a wildland firefighter, and I contract an engine with the Forest Service here in Oregon. When working I get sent to different states all over the country if needed. I took some auto mechanics classes back in the 80's/early 90's, and used to do side work on cars on weekends to supplement my income (mostly tune ups/ brakes etc.). My wife had a 1975 Datsun pu when we got married (back in '86), it was a 2 wheel drive with a 3" body lift and big tires. We traded that off and have owned mostly Fords since then. I recently came across a couple Z's that I felt were priced right, so I'm working on fixing one up for the wife to drive, and another one for my son to keep once he gets his drivers liscence (sometime around late Aug this year). My personal favorites will always be the classic Mustangs, I have a '65 coupe that I'm getting ready to rebuild bumper to bumper. I like the looks of some of the newer cars that are out now, but just can't talk myself into paying $30,000+ for something I can't work on without connecting a computer. I also like seeing the looks on peoples faces when their high dollar sports cars get blown away by what looks like an old rust bucket.

Hi, I'm Brent. I'm not sure what I am career wise - been a motor mechanic, a university lecturer, a IT administrator, and now I produce computer based course material from home. Got my first car/Datsan in 1988, a 160U SSS coupe (I think its called a 610 in the US), got it from a panel beater - does the phrase "recently sprayed over rust bubbles" spring too mind?

My next car was my first girlfriend

a 160Z or a B210 - she got me to spent all my money on her and then she broke my heart by dropping a valve

but I still love her. She had a L20B motor with twin dellorto sidedraufts, a S280 cam, a ported head and plenty of vooma! Now I want to make her feel young again be swapping in a SR20 turbo motor. I love a SR20VET but I will settle for a SR20VE head married to a SR20DET block and a S15 gearbox. Anyone know where I can get something like that AND get it into South Africa?

Oh, yes, I'm from Cape Town, South Africa.

Hi guys,

I like to introduce myself. My name is Pat, on most car forums I'm a member, I'm known as blitz (or blitz23). I'm kinda a freelancer, since I graduated from college. mainly work in construction business, relief worker, stock investigator for a local investor, house renovator and flipper, web developer, and some paperwork related jobs. I will do any job that land on my lap basically.

I own a 1985 datsun 200sx turbo (S12 silvia RS), forgotten middle child from nissan. this is from the era when nissan start to abandon datsun name and uses nissan name. It is also called Silvia ZX, 180ZX, gazelle, and sakura. I came across to this car looking for AE86 that's not a rust bucket or over priced, and I found this little square hatchback turbo.

I mainly involved in local autocrosses, with no plan for bigger stuffs unless my economic situation improve significantly XD. Plan for the car including FMIC, bigger turbo, new bushings all around (the old one are trashed), bigger sway bar, struts braces, racing seat and 4 point harness, turbo back, sport spring and shocks. Most of the time I rely on local tuner because I lack of the tools, space, and knowledge to work on it. I'm affraid to take it apart and not be able to put it back together...lol...although it has improved significantly since I bought some essentials tools like spanner and sockets sets needed to work on any given car. I did not own any set before I own this car... not even my dad...

Pics of said S12!

I want one so bad...either a notchback or hatchback. Doesn't matter as they both look good to me. I'm done looking for the turbo models though...wayyyy too hard to find around here. I'm focusing on finding one from 87-88.

As for me, I don't own any Datsuns...yet of course. I've been into Nissans since I was a little kid. When I lived in New York, there was a guy on my block who owned a two-tone 240sx coupe. I just loved how it looked. Also, there was another guy on that very same block who owned 2 S12s. A notch and a hatch! He didn't live there too long though. I just loved how those things looked. I've also been a long time fan of the Z-cars as well. I had two toy Z32 cars and the commercial where GI Joe steals Barbie from Ken in the red Z32 is one of my favorite commercials to this very day. I also remember seeing a gorgeous black 240Z on a flatbed one time. It was so sleek looking. I could go on and on about what got me into Nissans but I'm sure you get the point by now. On a side note though, there was a Chinese restaurant a block away that used a Pulsar NX coupe and an AE86 coupe for deliveries. Seeing those around all the time got me hooked on them also. I just thought they were neat little cars.

I want to someday own an 810 and either a 240Z or 280Z. I already have a vision for how they will look in the end...along with the other Nissans I want to own.

no. there are only 3 S12 in the entire town. barely any oldschool car, except for the muscle car crowd. we have 1 VW fox pickup... rust eat out cars very fast here. tons of salt is dumped on the road during winter.

good looking car Blitz...you still sporting the foam hatch spoiler?

what the hell was Nissan thinking anyway....I managed to find a MKII SE in a local junkyard with the plastic one intact..sadly, the car was hit in the front end and was sitting on the sideskirts

to be honest Boom..the turbo really isnt that big a deal in them...the stock ET won't handle a ton of power anyway...and building it to is kind've pointless.

one of the 86-87 SE's would be a cool one to get if you're not big on doing a motor swap. The Turbo model DOES have the R200 rearend though...I think the CA20 cars got either the R180 or an H190(solid rear).

stock CA18ET could produce 200 bhp at the limit. few ppl in UK has done it reliably, but that's the upper limit of stock unit. more than that you better off putting any nissan performance engine in it rather than building the CA-ET up. or buy a better car altogether :D

yes, I still have the foam spoiler. I like the foam spoiler, it says turbo. ppl think I'm fast, altough the car doesn't go anywhere. . I even still have the psychedelic design seat. and I always get ppl asking whether it's a supra or celica or a drift pig hachi . (thanks to nissan for using 200sx name on a the sentra )

I'm not looking for big power out of this car. my wallet is not thick enough (or my credit limits is not high enough :p). looking for around 160 whp with fmic, exhaust, better intake, and cranked up boost on 91 octane. rest of my budget is gonna be for suspension upgrade.

anyway, now you know me little better

PS: Canada don't get the SE V6. we get turbo until the end of the production year.

Post Title: Re: (Mr1der)
Posted by: BOOMSHAKALAKA at 6:25 AM 9/12/2007

If I manage to get one I'm not building it for power. I'm going to focus mainly on suspension mods...just want a car I can have fun with on the track.

Ever since I was a little girl (born in 1970), I was in love w/ Z cars The mom of one of my friends across the street got a white one in "80 and we were all so envious. I finally bought my first z car 5 years ago with 190,00 miles. When I was at the Dmv registering her the man at the booth told me I got a great deal for $2200 because his had over 350,000 original miles and was going strong.

about me....a lover of quality, grace and beauty

Just got my first Datsun today. 1981 720 Kingcab 4x2 with custom flatbed. Needs alittle work before I use it for daily driving/weekend worktruck. Mum and Dad had a Datsun 1000 sedan 30 years ago, we drove half way across Australia in it. Photos to follow.

I began my attraction for Datsuns when I was a kid. I grew up overseas, and saw lots of Datsuns, but different to the ones in the US.

The competition Datsun that I grew up with was the Datsun 710. These Datsuns competed in road racing and rallye off road races. I did not see a Datsun 1200 or a Datsun 510 , as well as a 610 datsun untill I came to the US.
I saw Datsun B210s and 310s.These 2, together with the 710 where all around in competition. It is funny to see how different parts of the world specialize in certain kinds of Datsuns, this is due to Nissan/Datsun marketing practices back in the day. I can see that in the US, Datsun Z cars as well as the Datsun 510 are the popular ones. In Australia it is the Datsun 1200 and the Datsun "UTE" which appear to dominate the scene. The very few Datsun 510s I saw as a kid were sold with A series push rod engines. The B210 Datsun made it to the markets with the L series engine, and for that matter, it was the car of choice for competition together with the Datsun 710.

I was fascinated with the reliability and versatility of these cars, and I remember many street modified Datsuns shaping my taste and making me drool as a kid.

The number one Datsun car I saw as a kid, and which inspired me was the 710. I am sure all of us have a special Datsun model that made us dream about fast cars.

Datsun is a name with a lot of history. I hope Nissan goes back to it's roots. Todays Nissans, except the 350Z and the big trucks, look awfull. Those Sentras, Maximas, Altimas, look awful. What is up with that grille scheme.

Did you hear me Nissan???? time to get rid of the french influence!

Yes, that is a nice one!
My older brother had a performance 620, with T/A's low profile and a nice header/Weber combo. Off course, never had the chance to take it for a spin......but it is the first pick up truck I got to see up close, very cool. It had an L16 engine, and it was known as "Datsun 1600"

Hey all, New to Datsun's but am a retired Engineer, so it will at least run when I get done. I have a '84 720 King Cab pickup with over 200,000 miles on it, the poor misguided sonofabitch who owned it b4 me cut almost every vacuum line and I'm just tracing them and plugging them in and listening to the motor purr. I believe it's a Z24 2.4 with a Weber. The clutch master cylinder had grease packed in it (!) and with the other weirdness I'm just replacing and tweaking it and I will eventually put it on the road. I should also mention I didn't pay any money for this (gem) but I currently have $350 in it, so it will be as rough as a cob until I can get it back to the state where all the little things have been bought and replaced.

Had a '79 280 ZX that I loved, but then got married and the wife fried the clutch out of it and it was too small. Now my 19 year old son is wanting a 300Z tt and i figured I'd see what I could find out about them on a forum.

well i personally don't have a Datsun. but ever since i've seen a 240Z i feel in love with Datsuns. I try to learn more about Datsun's history and about there cars in general. and also come to find out my moms first car she learned to drive in was a Datsun B210 hatch, im guessing it's a hatch that's what it sounded like from here description. and then also i feel in love with the Wangan Midnight Fairlady Z. Right now i've thought abut what my next car is for a project and well it's a 240Z with a L28, i am determined to get a 240 and build it.

Well, I own a 240sx that I've recently restored.

I've always loved the 240 and 260z. My next car will probably be one of those two depending on which one comes along. I want a pre 75' Z of course because I live in California where the smog law is horrible.

I believe that the 240z was the first Japanese muscle car, well the first Nissan muscle car anyway. Like many Americans who love Corvettes and Mustangs, I love the Z. The Z is a classic and the body lines are so beautiful. I love every inch of the car, and never owning one I am looking forward to working on it and restoring it.

I would do a KA24 twin cam swap and if time and money permits, turbo KA. I want a little bit of old school and a little bit of new age. This is just for parts accessibility. It may not make any sense to do such a thing, but that's my vision.

The Z is the last letter of the alphabet but it's an A+ car.

Hello im jordan, im 16 from valdosta GA. I just bought a 1981 280zx 2by2 GL about a year ago and i never want to get another car. I bought it for $2100 and i thought that was too much but i soon found that the car is priceless. the only other car that i will get will be an older 240, 260, or 280z. i fel in love the simplicity of these cars after working in my schools auto shop, the straight 6 is so eazy to work on. The L series engines seem to last forever too, i dont seem to here many stories about L series blowing up or failing. I have a feeling that most VQ35s are not going to last over 10 years so these 350z guys need to start respecting there heritage. Datsun forever we will miss u peter Brock

I've had so many Nissan/Datsuns over the last few years (17?), that I've earned the name "Datsun Daiv" here in S.W. MI. My "keeper" (since '92) is a Jim Cook Racing "California Z" '71 240Z. It ran an L28 with a header, triple Dellorto carbs, and flat-top pistons with the e88 head. I run it up at the local 1/4 mile drag strip in the summer. The best so far is 14.90 @ 91 with huge amounts of wheel spin..

Hello all. My name is Donnie, im located in Northern California. I have 2 620 trucks, one is a 79 the other is a 73. the 79 is my daily driver with almost 300k on the org. engine and transmission, my grandfather was the second owner of this truck, making me the third. My 73 is a project in the works, i got it in trade back in high school for a case of beer to use as a parts truck. after being in the navy and stuck in san diego for the last 8 years im finally home and want to start working on it again, i was going to stuff a small block mopar into it, but after looking at the truck for several hours i decided just to semi restore the body and make a hot rod outta the little L20 thats in it.

Hello everyone, I am sort of a NICO newb, haven't posted much. I've always searched around, looking for certain things I'm interested in on the site. I recently got serious about Datsuns because I had to part with a few of my cars. I now live in Southern Cali and everyone knows how pointless (to tuners anyway) it is to put so many laws out there to restrict motor builds and just plain good old tuning! I then heard that if you got a car that is 25 years old or older, you don't have the emissions testing so I started searching for something I could "settle" with. I got rid of my Skyline and both my 240sxs, I was stationed in Okinawa for the record, so I looked at older japanese muscle, per the old car rule. I ran across the Hakosuka and 2XXZ and turned into an old classic freak! So now thats my story and I have been waiting patiently to buy another car to wrench on. I am "home sick" to say the least!

My Name is Dean. I just bought a 84 720 4x4 for a daily driver. My other car is a 2000 BMW Z3 Roadster. The reason for buying the 720 is because i changed jobs and am going from sitting in an office back to the job site. I work for North Cobb Electrical Service now, essentually i am an electricians aid working on being an electrician.

I am looking forward to restoring the 720 to better then new but it will be a long slow process since i need it to drive on the job sites pre-build out.

I have loved 510s since high school. my first car was a datsun 310. 1.3 ltr 4 speed front wheel drive... fun (I had a paper rout at the time). I over heated that car, blew 2 trannys and clutches doing the paper. after that I got a 91 civic dx hatch and fell in love. it got totaled. then a '90 civic si hatch. I did a B16 swap on that and drove it every day with a smile on my face. it never gets old reving past 8000 rpm for no reason. that car got totaled. I cried, but now I could finally (after over 10 years of lusting) get a 510. I would love to bring the best of both worlds together and "drop" a s2000 motor in it but I don't have that kind of $$. I would also like to put my B16 in there but the b series spin "backwards" and It would be to much work to force it to work. So I'm down to ether ka or ca. I know you guys will say SR20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but that is what everyone is doing nowadays and I like to be different. Plus if you look at the ca18det it is a 4cyl RB motor.
so the 510 is my project, my daily is a pluming van, and I have a 91 integra for the weekends.
anyway, that's me...

Hi my name is pete and I like long walks on the beach, women carrying large caliber rifles and donuts.

I came here randomly through a rip in the space-time continuum and have been having second thoughts about registering. Since I am a nihilist, I really don't care.

No but really, I have a 79 Datsun 210 with the stock A14 still in it. I want to swap it but i am not sure yet which way to go. Maybe being a member here will help me make a decision.

Cool man, I had an '81 210 with the A15 motor in it. Sold it earlier this year to a coworker (so I still see it sometimes when he brings it to work)! But if you ever have any questions on that car, let me know, because I know them pretty well.

I rebuilt my A15 after the rings were shot and blew a head gasket. But I considered doing either an SR or CA swap instead. Anyway, nice to meet another B310 owner! (or well, at least I was up until a few months ago)

I need to look into swap options for this car.
The problem with the 210 is that the bay is really tight. I was wondering if anyone has ever see an RB20 DET stuffed into one and if so, is there a thread somewhere you could link me to.

My main question is how much custom motor mount stuff do you need to do to a 210?
Or, rather, is there such a thing as an "easy" turbo swap for this car?
My guess in no.

RB would be very tight. I don't think it would fit without modifying the firewall, but I haven't ever measured so I can't say for sure.

Bandit240 told me one time that the exhaust manifold from a Nissan forklift (which I think uses the A12P) will fit on the regular A block upside down with room to mount a turbo...or something like that. I don't remember the specifics. I think he said a guy in Australia had done it.

i was born and raised around datsuns. my dad has had 50+ datsuns over the years so naturally after being around them, i got hooked. he still currently has 5 datsuns right now. i bought my first datsun when i was 10. it was a '64 NL320 that i paid $50 for it. i still have it and am in the process of rebuilding it. my second car was when i was 14. it was a '77 280z that i paid $125 for. i got it running and when i got my license, i started driving it but my parents insurance said i couldnt drive it due to it being a sports car and had to sell it. i owned quite a few other vehicles over the years then i bought a '72 510 a couple years ago. it was a total rust bucket and got rid of it early this year. at the time i bought a '64 L320 and got it going and have been showing it all this year. early summer i also bought a '72 1200 coupe for $100 and it has now become my daily driver.

I guess it all started whith my moms 2nd, i grew up along with that car it was a Nissan 200SX CS110 i believe. it was a model before the S12.
color was silver-bluish, MT. My mother bought another Silvia but this time it was a S12, Gold with mesh wheels it was a coupe, at first i didnt think much of it but as i grew and when i got into middle school i started to like Nissan alot... i knew somewhat about nissan alot, i was thinking of the Skyline R32, R33, and R34 before no one knew about it.

I started to like the Silvia Series alot and became a huge fan of it. At the time the S15 was out but i didnt like it as much as the S12 and S14, there was a phase in my life where i loved the Silvia S12 along with the Skyline R33. Soon after this my mom Blew the S12's Engine on the Freeway. i felt mad at my mom for doing so, yet sad that i lost something that i loved
(cuz you know "I" aint getting a GTR in the US). I yelled at my mom to go get the S12 from the Junk yard... but the engine was gone and it was all chared from the fire. But little did my mother know i had other plans for the Body of the S12.

well anyways after that i alone became a great Nissan Lover, and Hated Honda's for some reason .

At school my friends and alot of ppl would call me Nismo and still do, my Girlfriend calls me that to this day.

well around the age of 16 or 17 i really got into the Z series such as the Z31 and S30... i played video games and loved it even more, i would bug my father on getting me a car for school or something... so i sent him post from craigs list, Months later we went to some guys house (Stevens) and i bought a 280Z from him. U got the Z in my garage and im slowly working on it trying to fix it im 18 now well my story isnt much but here it is

My name is Nick, im 21 years old and im new to the datsun/nissan world. While im not new to cars, i grew up in a race shop. My dad built some of the fastest drag cars in montana in the 70's and 80's and has since slowly got out of racing. I grew up around big engines and big power but i was always drawn towards imports. My first car was a 1998 Supra TT. I had it for 2 weeks and my dad took it away from me. I almost went to jail at 15 years old becuase of it. My next car was an 86 toyota celica GT and to this day will always be my favorite of all my cars. I learned everything i know about imports becuase of this car. I regretfully sold it and had a few other 4th gen celicas until i finally settled on my 88 celica GT4. Now for the datsun. I got my 1980 datsun 310GX about a month ago at an auction at work. The guy brought it in to have the oil pan replaced and never came back to pick it up. I got it for 150 bucks. Anyhow sofar its been an awesome little car, runs good gets KILLER gas mileage! Its my first old school import so i plan on making it a little track beast. Ive grown to really enjoy datsuns even though toyotas will always be my ride of choice. Ive always wanted a 240z as well!

Only a couple of pages of postings and this thread has been here for four years? Are we Datsun lovers a dying breed? As for me, my passion has always been 210's. I have owned four of them and sadly, the last one was stolen over the summer. If i could find a body that wasn't eaten up with cancer, I'd buy it today and fix it up. That's one really good thing about them. They are cheap to buy and cheap to fix (carbeurators not included). I'll check through my albums but I'm pretty sure the ex got all my pics.

HEy my name is Ryan and i just entered the datsun/nissan world. i started with domestic Small block chevys. then went turbo. never looked back. i have since owned alot of cars but my favorites were a 2nd gen TSi AWD and a 1st Gen TSi AWD.

Now i just picked up a 1972 Datsun 510 4door. its already got a KA24E swap in it but it has rod knock. so im looking for another KA24E motor to replace it before i get the cash for a SR swap. it also has recaro seat, full suspension w/ camber plates, subaru LSD, and some custom ugly exhaust.

so here are some pics. i picked it up for a steal and its going to be an on going project for me.

My first datson is my 71 510 4 door.Pics to come.I bought it from a freind for 200$who only paid for towing to his house.Its in great shape original stickers still under hood.It had an L20b in it but its in the middle of a vg30te transplant.Im going to put the turbo in the back and use it for a muffler also.It gives it more time for cooling and keeps under the hood temp down.My 2nd is a 1992 300z 50th anniversery that i got from the same freind who needed a place to keep it and eventually became mine.He just happened to run it into a dumpster a couple hours before dropping it off at my house pretty sure the frame is tweaked at the front pillar.Glass looks like its going to pop out.So thats where i got the vg.he abused this car so bad it had 35000 og miles when he got it and didnt put many more on it.Plus his brother drove it through a brick wall.Funny that only left scratches compared to the dumpster.Plus he over heated it several times

Sorry for your loss Azhitman she went way to young.My heart goes out to you and your family.

Damn man, what'd I do to you?

I know how much the POS carbs from AutoZone are. I tried that route and they suck...bad. At the time, i couldn't afford a carb from Nissan (they were almost $700.00). I ended up rebuilding the original one with a Nissan carb kit and it outperformed the rebuilt one.
If you really do know anything about Datsuns, you are aware that you can no longer get a carb for this car from Nissan. So, there is no proof of price. Just my memory of saying WTF? when they told me the price several years ago.

A good rebuilt carb is a good option - i would say it would be a bit more thru nissan.

I mainly like the old 510's

got any pics of the 210's? Would like to see some

If you can tell me how pics or bs isnt talkin crap ill give you a full apology.Im certainly not an expert with datsuns i never claimed to be.I need a lot of advice from people who may be thats why i came here.Like most people i know a little about some things and alot about nothing.Like truthfully I dont know crap about turbos and its driving me crazy.I learn a little every day though and thats good.If you wernt talkin crap sorry but i dont think anybody wants to be told there bsn when there just trying to get some more knowledge.Im an old school v8 guy who just happened to fall in love with a datsun.Put more context in your replys and there will be no confusion.

i am new to this forum and am glad to tell you some about myself.
i bought my 1974 Datsun 260z just a few months ago for a little over a grand. it has very little rust and runs pretty good for how old it is. i bought this car because i am taking an automotive/management class at an University and i needed a project car. now that i have it i am an Z car enthusiast. my car came with 3 weber carburetors that i plan on eventually switching to fuel injection.
i don't have a thread right now, may have one in the future but i am not really the kind of guy who would constantly update it. so i am, for the moment, mainly trying to glean some knowledge.

Well my first Datsun was while in HS, a 73 510 that I proptly wrecked hot dogging on a dirt road. I just crumpled the drivers fender and moved the front bumper about a foot towards the passenger side. I then moved onto an 82 200sx my senior year, a 84 200sx when I was a junior in college, a 84 300zx NA my second year out of college, then my current cars a prestine 95 300zxTT, a 67 Datsun Roadster 1600, 2008 Rouge and of course a 2007 Quest. I'm currently looking to buy and restore a 67 Patrol.

Well, I'm brand new to this site, and mostly brand new to this car. I have a 1972 Datsun 240Z. I am also only 15, and this car needs far more work than i know how to do. This was at one time my fathers car, in college... unfortuanatly it has been sitting for almost 8 years now. so of course the paint, and the dash are RUINED. i do have a dash cap though. also pirrelli tires with less than 200 miles on them. the interior looks grim, peeling vynl, cracked center concole, and the foor plugs on the left side are missing compleately. one day my dad decided that it would be a good idea to take out the sound system and stick it in our boat, so now i have the startings of a sound system (pioneer CD/MP3, Blaupunkt 6" speakers) but absolutly no knowledge of sound systems or electrical. It also has a broken exhaust manifold stud on the 6th cylendar. so far i have attempted to begin to prepare for the paint process, i have taken off both bumpers and the front air dam. I'm just so tired of looking at it sit there rusting away. i need some sort of inspiration to get me off. my friend also uses this site for his 240sx and he turned me on to it.

My first car I bought was a Datsun. A 1970 2dr 510 that I bought back in high school from a lady in Oakland, CA. I paid $800. I then proceeded to own and drive that car for more than 10 years. I rebuilt the original L16 engine in Automotive Tech School in AZ back in 1983. (new bearings, rings, mild cam, timing chain, gears and, put a Weber DGV on it, and swapped out the 4 speed for a 200SX dogleg 5-speed. After the L16 engine burned a hole in the piston (I remember I left the air cleaner off for some reason, then shortly the piston was burned). I then put in an L18 SSS engine (twin SU sidedraft carbs) from Japan with low miles and that thing was bullet proof and fast. Unfortunately, that car got totaled (hit from the back), I think I got 900 for it at the time. I then soon got another 510 2dr a 71 but ended up trading it to my good friend who really wanted it for his '68 Mustang with a 390 engine (I sold that car). Anyway fast forward from the late 80's to today, and now I just bought another 510, a 72 4dr ka24e-t swap. I like to wrench on my own cars, but doing a hybrid swap I've never done. So in between the 2nd 510 and the current one, I have owned an '85 RX-7, '94 Integra 4 dr LS, '98 Subaru Forester, '85 Nissan Sentra (recent totalled by another party, which prompted me to find the swapped 510) and now I also own a '03 Subaru WRX that I lightly modded. My wife owns and drives a '99 Lexus GS300. That's about it.
