hey new guy with a 510
-
hey guys been lookin around here for quite a while and didnt really have any reason to say anything till now. well i just traded my 71 datsun 521 truck for a 72 510 4 door. its got a 5 speed swaped into it, fiberglass fenders, some kinda front air dam, racing seat, and a few other goodies. someone used to do some kinda racing with it i think. just cuz of some of the stuff thats done to it... but i cant really understand how they did that with the stock suspension. lol unless they swapped the factory stuff on once they sold it to the guy i bought it from... its pretty igly and verry rusty
i was told it was a decent car (talked on the phone with owner since he lives in canada and we traded at the border) but once i got it home, i was very dissapointed. well heres a pic.but i am looking for a set of rims for it. perferably something like panasports, libras, rota rb's,maybe some old school mesh's, or westers or mini lites well you get the idea. maybe even some stock z series rims.. lmk what you got and maybe we can make a deal
also im from devils lake -

thanks for the welcome guys! its not actually nice at all! that is one of the pics he sent me, it looks not so great in person with all the rust. the lower portion of the drivers side quartes is just about gone, and both floor pans are shor where they were seam welded, and under the hood right next to the strut tower is gone! he also told me it had a new radiator, this is garbage and prolly needs to be replaced, but still keeps very cool he got me pretty good tho.. i traded this truck and 300 american, and i got jewed
but its ok everything is always fixable..http://community.ratsun.net/topic/22210-2-1971-521s-for-sale-or-trade/

get a set of watanabes....swap in a rb25 and cruise that thing. Ols school Datsuns are the bomb. I had a Datsun Sunny when I was stationed in Japan. Basically a 510 w/ a box, uni-body too. A-4 w/ 48mm weber side drafts, header, rsr full exhaust and watanabes.

well i started stripping the paint off tonight, iv got no rocker panel on the rear quarter drivers side, and i honestly think ive grinded off about a gallon of bondo. im just using a grinder with a flap disc for now, then i will prime. then eventually do all the body work. want to swap to an l20b with a cam and twin 48 mm webers, ka24-e pistons, and a ported and polished head. not guna be real fast, but enough to have some fun with
was also thinking bout doing another ka24de swap..... -
well i thought i was guna come on here and just get hatted on! this is turning out good, thanks for appreciating classic jdm's... as long as there not riced out....

ya im kinda a nissan/datsun fan
i did wuite a bit of work on this 85 nissan 720, got the rear sump pan hacked to gether and a rear pickup tube hacked together, was a shitty job, also squeezed the motor in on stock mounts.... all that was just temporary to make sure the motor was a good runner then i was guna build a good pan and pickup tube with new tranny and motor mounts but i sold it before i got it running... sold it for way less than i had into it also had the frame notched with an 8 inch notch, i cut the leafs in half to make a 2 link, was guna put in a panhard bar, to make sure i get the 4 link i was guna get the perfect size. but never got that far. the wiring was a pain in the ass, had all wiring almost done, then a friend came over and fucked with some of it, then the lights and wipers didnt work but i never got to fixin that either... so im poretty sure the guy who bought it said fuck it and is sitting in a junkyard. i never met the buyer, a friend bought iut from me, but couldnt come up with the money, so he sold it and paid me.... i guess the owner of this lives in fargo?? are you on here man?also just had this 521 but then traded it for this car.
previous vehicles have been a 79 chevy luv! and a 89 dogre ram 50, and a 84 vw rabbit turbo diesel still have that just need a turbo... wink wink
hope you guys dont mind pictures
