The 510 Realm

Hi Keith, Yeah, Jason and I have both registered. We missed the VIP so we don't have reserved spaces. Probably in the same park you were in last time. I can talk to the organizers about getting a club spot. Great if we had a few cars together. I've got a bed for you if you want to make a weekend of ...

Jason and I will have these two at the Peach City Beach Cruise in Penticton, BC if anyone wants to join. June 21-23, about 800 cars. peachcitybeachcruise.ca https://i.imgur.com/vjn7KEw.jpg This pic was from Okanagan Falls last year. There is a weekly get together at the Legion if anyone is in the ne...

Happy Father's day to the dads out there.

Awesome gift from my family. The artist is local, let me know if you want his contact info.

The car looks amazing, you are doing beautiful work. To second Keith, you have a crazy skill set!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I got the car back together and had a few adventures getting it started. Turns out the GM HEI unit was fried. Replaced that then it was time for a test run with the newly rebuilt transmission. I was apprehensive but it drove beautifully. When I pulled back into the driveway there was a snail trail o...

My transmission rebuild was delayed by finding a RH thread main shaft nut. The nut is NLA. None of the local machine shops had an M27X 1.0 tap, so I ordered one from China but they sent M37. I eventually found a tap in the States, bought some hex bar stock and had a couple of nuts made. I have extra...

Thanks Mike. I will see if I can find that part. To be honest, I'm not sure what era the transmission is. You ID'd it a few years ago....from memory 1977 ish wide ratio.
I will post some pics tomorrow.

I've been freshening up my FS5W71B transmission. While putting it back together yesterday I realized that the replacement mainshaft nut is M27 X 1.0 LH thread but the shaft/ original nut is RH thread. After some googling it seems like the RH thread was a short lived early configuration. I can't find...

Looks awesome Fred.

Hey, glad to be back on the Realm. Thanks to the admins who have been working on the problem. I'm into my winter to do list. The main item was to get rid of awful bearing sound when coasting in gear. Noise went away when I pushed the clutch in. The transmission was shifting fine otherwise and was ok...

I was talking with the organizer of the Peach City Beach Cruise in Penticton last week. June 23-25. They are willing to create a Datsun/ Nissan/ All Japanese section for us, depending how many register. It's a long way out but something to put on the calendar if you are interested. https://www.peach...

Sadly, a last minute trip to Australia meant that I couldn't meet up with the Octoberfast crew. My consolation prize was pure luck. 2 hours after getting off the plane I found the Melbourne All Nissan/ Datsun club annual meet at the local shopping centre near my parents place. I want out for a coffe...

Looking for a FS5W71B 5 speed. Preferably in BC where I could pick it up. LMK what you have. Cheers!

I have been having a blast in the car this summer. It is so much fun to drive and I'm amazed at how much interest it attracts. It seems that everyone my age or older had one, or had a buddy who had one in high school. I guess this means it's a new car now! I wonder how many laps that odometer has do...

Looks awesome. Welcome to Team Blue.
