Re: 72 2 Door 510 Restoration-25 years in the making

Just going by old memory, I believe that the choke heater relays used to fail frequently and cars would come into the shop with a high idle and inoperative charging system. You're on the right track. Disconnect the choke heater relay and don't use it. Notorious for trouble. Double check the charging...

Re: Looking to upgrade 510 distributor

Unfortunately, while many parts like the breaker plates and the vaccuum advance chambers can be interchanged on the L4, L6 and A Motor Matchbox distributors, the center drive shafts are different. The A motor matchbox center shafts have a gear held on by the roll pin that is driven by another gear o...

Re: WTB: 280ZX Calipers

I have a number of complete rebuilt sets...including the necessary caliper brackets... here in California. They have all been disassembled, hot-tanked, bead blasted, taped and painted with Caliper paint (I have some in Red and in Grey), then reassembled with new steel pistons (if needed) and new rub...

Re: WTB Front Sump oil pan for L-series

I believe that I have what you are looking for...
L20B Front Sump Oil pan out of a 200sx or A10.
I also have the Pickup Tube with it.
It is in good shape...has been hot tanked and then blasted and painted.
I'll try and get a few pictures of it and PM you in the next few hours...

Re: vg33 wagon build

If you are thinking of going with the 200sx struts, I have a pair/set of the 1987-1988 200sx S12 V6 SE Front Strut Assemblies. Just the stock struts with stock springs...no hubs, rotors or calipers. These are the Holy Grail of Struts and Extremely difficult to find. You can use 5 lug hubs with these...

Re: Pilkington Windshields - Easy and new Availability

Long Story... Pilkington Windshields are now available at Summit. I was one of the unfortunates that bought and paid for a Blue Tint Windshield from Summit back in July 2018. Part # PKC-400046687 for $202.99 plus $50.00 special shipping = $252.99 They have been back ordered ever since. Come to find ...

Re: FS: 510 White Needle Tach/Cluster [BC]

Hey Jordan,
this sounds like a great deal to me and just what I'm looking for.
If I'm first on the list, consider it sold.
I live in San Jose, California and can do things by Paypal.
Many thanks,
John

New to the Realm, but not new to Datsuns

I have been a viewer of the Realm (and other Datsun related Forums) for many years, but do not not normally participate. However, The 510Realm appears to me to be "Above the fray" and a generally well mannered forum with serious students of Datsuns. That's why I've decided to throw my hand...
