510 Front Suspension

Post by **Big-Bird** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 6:23 pm

Is there someone in here who might have an image from a 510 Manual of the entire 510's front suspension?

I am noodleing an idea around and need to see if it's possible or realistic based on the image.

Thanks in advance!

I'll have to take a look but I think I might have what you need. I'll post a pic when I get home.

720's had the divorced transfer case right? I think you'd have better luck sitting the dimes body onto the truck chassis but seems like a waste of a 510 to me

Yes the 720's t case is divorced but the problem I have with putting the dime's body on a 720 is the height. I wouldn't be doing this for an off-road machine, I was thinking Rally Car. I know this was done with another Datsun body at some point in a Euro or Canadian Rally circuit. I've seen the images myself but nobody was 100% sure where the pictures were taken.

I don't even know how they did it and I don't know if the car is still around or not. I do know it was a 4 door body and it did have a 4x4 drive train in it. Perhaps they did mount the car shell to a 720 frame and just lowered it as much as possible.

the only factory ralley cars I'm aware of were 2 wd, are you sure you say 4wd? not just lifted 2wd? I know they were campainged in africa and south american ralley's in 2wd form, if you want to go rally, it would be pretty easy to space the suspension assemblies from the body to allow for more tire and greater travel but I don't think it's necesarry, dave at sport compact car magazine used to campaign a dime in rally before graduating to a newer nicer ser spec-v, here is the first installment of his story, look around and I'm sure you can find the subsequent installments, loosk like he ran mostly stock suspensionhttp://www.sportcompactcarweb....rt_1/

I never said it was a factory unit. I said it was built that way by someone else. And I did confirm it was a Canadian car. But it's long gone now.

Too bad.
