The 510 Realm

So after a long battle she runs and drives, although only on battery power. I have rebuilt just about every part of the car now; she is running all factory l16, 4speed (auto swap out), i do have a l18 and a dogleg but both need rebuilding; got big plans for those but everyone on here does(old school...

Please, Help me get this thing on the road after 15 years. I am in need of a L16 flywheel. I just ordered my transmission it should be here on Monday, the last piece i am missing is the flywheel. I Live in Houston so i know shipping will add to the cost. Just let me know how much it is, add what you...

Thank you very much and sorry again Okay.

a quick question, does anyone know if a 4 speed out of a 72 240z trans work with the l16 in a 510 without shortening the driveshaft? Sorry to ask tried to find the answer but i have limited time to try and buy it. Thanks and sorry.

Thanks again Okay I am definitly going to re-redo the brakes with the suggestions from DQ 3.3, as well as consider the strut shortening to be one of the first mods once she is back on the road. i have a few pics of the progress this week. Got the motor out still trying to find a trans, power washed ...

The more progress the more pics i will post. Got the head done waiting on the manifold gasket and ring set. cherry picker coming home tomorrow so i can get the bottom out and get the bay cleaned up and painted. got some bed liner spray i never used from my old 66 el camino project that didn't need i...

thanks ron, i dont know why they came out so big; but on with it, Here are some more pics of the initial progress, since these were taken i did get some new seats in i will get those pics up later. Now that everyone can see the car feel free to offer options of the next stage of progress. She does n...

Lets see if it works this time, Pic of the motor test 3

Well gonna get some pics up tonight, show a little of my progress or lack there of. Tried to find a motor l20b with no luck here in south Texas. I found one he wanted 450 and it had been sitting for 10 years. Seems all the older nissan datsun stuff went down to Mexico. So started rebuilding the l16,...

ok well got her to fire, but she is way too tired. Glad i got to know her a bit though; gonna swap out the old l16 and go with a l20b and five speed to start with. In the future i will swap to something else don't want to put too much thought into the future of her heartbeat; just want to enjoy her ...

Doing an auto to 280zx swap and need a crossmember for it. If you got one let me know; i am located in Houston TX but am willing to pay for the extra shipping cost. Thanks

Ok got spark this weekend but no luck on her to fire. I'm feeling closer to having her back on the road after a 15 year vacation. Got most of the electrical worked out too just need to get the blinkers working. Haven't taken a good look at that yet I'm sure it's simple.

sorry for the bad pics but it is all i got so far.

Sweet deal, got the brakes working..just went to my local auto shop and got a repo unit. Can't loose for 40 bucks. phanks for your help okay. After the brakes I cleaned the 40 or so yrs of crap off the engine and tried to get to work. Ran compression test and came out pretty low. 65,75,90,95; she is...

Today I managed to rebuild the front brakes, no rebuild kit but the seals looked like they would be fine for the meantime. I did replace all the rubber hoses also. I do have a problem not getting any stiffness in the pedal though. I used a hand pump brake bleed kit and it didn't seem to do the job s...
