Re: A couple pics from the Wayback.

The car 2nd from left in back might be Brian Holloway's white and teal BRE striped car, but the wheels look too big. I don't recognize any of the other cars. That might be Mike Eaton standing 2nd from left, and possibly Freddy DeSota to his left, or not. Looks like either early arrivals, or last to ...

That was a UFO SoCal meet at Nissan HQ in Gardena, not Whittier. I was probably there, too. :D

Re: Jeff's '70 2 Door

Jeff, Nice work on the build. You've got a pretty sweet ride, there. I think you'll need a 23 tooth speedo pinion. Sorry, I forget the color. That's what I used to correct my factory speedo with a 4.38 R&P and 23" tall tires (205/50-15). It may still read a few percent fast with 4.44s, in w...

Re: what struts are these?

They look like my S12 struts/brakes. Any p/n's on the tubes? Mine are Atsugi 54302-04F02 (R) and 54303-04F02 (L). The backing plates have the holes, and the calipers look similar. What is the diameter of the steering knuckle cup in the bottom of the spindle casting? S12 is 54mm while 510/280ZX is 40...

Re: Did 510 have rear swaybar originally?

Great info! Anybody know if there was a company in the early-mid 1970's that sold a dual Dellorto side draft carb kit? I have an UN-branded (no markings) dual dcoe intake with Dellorto carbs & a linkage system that comes up from the bottom in between the carbs! It is on an old SCCA B Sedan 510....

Re: What do we actually know about Semi trailing arms???

US patent 3,603,421 for the 510 rear suspension by Nissan. It gives the equations for the camber and toe curves. Their claim is that their design compensates for camber thrust with toe change to provide optimal straight-line stability. https://i.imgur.com/2id9kQ1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XmIfYgQ.jpg ...

Re: Help needed identifying struts

Google search comes up with these calipers for a Holden XB:

Maybe someone could ID the struts from the part numbers stamped into the strut tube?

Re: Stock front wheel alignment

This is my eyeball alignment technique to get the front toe close, and the steering wheel straight with relatively equal length tie-rods: First, set your steering wheel to the straight ahead position and roll the car a little to relieve any torque in the tires, then site down one side of the car at ...

Same car? Appears to have been a no sale at $37k at Mecom Monterey.

Re: Side draft intake mani, size differences?

The HL510/A10/810 13/16" brake master also has the bleeders on the left side. This is my personal favorite for 280zx front brakes with stock rear drums on a 510 sedan.

WTB R160 LSD Pinion Gears (also found in 1200/'74 B210 H145A)

I need a pair of good pinion gears to put mine back together. Turns out the R160 CLSD uses the same pinion gears as the stock H145A open diff found in Datsun 1200s and '74 B210s, part # 38425-18000. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
