The 510 Realm

68.JPG It is grind down, my guess is the DATSUN 1600 that is grinded, you can almost see it. The 1300 don't have the vent tube. My picture is not good but the three on the left should be L-13. Yeah I am thinking that too. Maybe can look at creating my own script and putting in that space. Thanks fo...

Have this spare valve cover and cleaned it up with some Scotch Brite red and steel wool and some polish for the cap. Looking to wrinkle paint/powder coat this one and get a new decal for the cap. Told this is an early Lseries valve cover believe 68-69 510 Lseries or some have told me off a L13 motor...

Prep makes all the difference with wrinkle finish.

Thank you!

Indeed! Prep was more effort than the painting.

Had a spare valve cover and wanted to try the VHT wrinkle finish paint and it works. Used a bucket with hot water and soap and water and simple green to clean. Hear a turkey fryer or propane stove with a pot of hot water works good too. The instructions were pretty clear. Mainly clean well and scuff...

Indeed! Freshens things up.

Two part update Was driving the wagon and got on it on the freeway. Backed off and was cruising when suddenly the rpm's did a quick bounce and the car shook. Lucky was near home so got off the freeway and headed back and pulled the wagon in the garage. Checking stuff and could hear a whistling/whine...

Here's some other pics of some SSR MK2's I had in storage that I cleaned up and polished the lips.

Haven't been on here much but lately been into wheels and cleaning up and polishing lips on them. Here's pics of some SSR MK3's I had been sitting on.

Hope this info can help. I just recently did a post about my wheels and I am using 14x6.5 fronts with 14.5mm offset on ZX strut housings with coilovers and 195-60-14 tires and had to use a 5 mm spacer to change the offset to 9.5mm. I didn't use longer studs but can but used extended shank lug nuts w...

Bought these Watanabe wheels for cheap but the offset was a bit too positive and was close to hitting the coil over perch. Looking at the specs of my SSR wheel ( 14x6.5 +7 offset) and the Watanbe's at 14 x 6.5 +14.5mm offset I needed to use a spacer. Bought two sets of spacers ( 8mm and 5 mm) as the...

Today I officially had enough of my 510. If anyone wants a project and has the means to ship it from the UK, read through my thread and DM me. Non-running, rolling shell. Road legal in the UK and it will come with a de. registration and export certificate that will make it easier to register overse...
