Hello everybody, I just bought a Datsun 210 aka b310, title says 1980 but door plate says 11/1979. I bought the haynes manual however my engine is not represented. ?? I think I may have the GX model with a whole 86HP because of the chrome trim.a14 engine.

I'll try to post pics but basically I am new to these cars with a decent machanical history otherwise... no luck with pics, any help here?

I am looking to redo the front suspension and was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find bushings, poly bushings if possible would be cool.

I am planning on using kyb gr-2's, any beta here would be helpfull as well, thanks.

Story on the car is a local guy bought it new and I picked it up a month or so ago.

links to helpfull pags would be , well, helpfull, thanks!

look foreward to gettin to know you guys up here at NICO, peace.

Welcome to NICO! To be honest, I'm not familiar with your vehicle. I'm going to move this to the Datsun section for you because this is the Sentra section.

Let me know you've seen this post so I can move it without making it seem like it has disappeared into oblivion.

LOL! actually i found it in the paper but the showroom was full of AMG's and $60k 1930's ford trucks. some really nice cars but I think I got the best one, one previous owner, i have the original title.
