The 510 Realm

Letter from Datsun

Site is really glitchy today for me

My tires are still MISSING in UPS's hands, so, at least Tire Rack has stepped up and sent a replacement 2 tires, hope to see those next week. here are a few things from the bottom of one of my trunks, the books I have likely posted before, but here they are again. Both the Stainless Steel Carrot and...

2.5 ID? Seems too small to me on a stock strut?! if in reality 275 and and 950...that would be ok I guess. Specialty's "street" suspension was 200 and 900 if I remember right. My front bar is 1 1/8"...... Not sure I can comment on the free spring length...the HARD suspension free leng...

Funny, I as going to type a reply this morning, as I had been thinking about your question. Others have answered some so I will leave it at that. Not sure what you meant on the "2.50"? The stock springs can be cut of course, one has to make sure you have NOT lost travel..and could hit the ...

Power steering components.......

Just in case you never saw this..my post on box adjustment: Roll the car forward a few feet, to make sure the wheels are pointing forward. Then, take a wrench and loosen the jam nut on the top of the steering box, AT THE SAME TIME, put a slotted screw driver into the slot in the top of the screw, AN...

Ha...so do we miss it, we used to go there a LOT back in the late 70's, early 80's. That braided steel line I run my wires through to the switch box......is WATER line from a Boeing plane! Who would know..!!!???/ As soon as I saw it in coils in the surplus store, I bought a bunch of sizes, knowing I...

Morning World! So, on the 5th I ordered my tires...two came on the 11th...UPS seems to have LOST the other two!!!! ARG!!!! I have been on the phone 3 times and sent an E-mail to Tire Rack..oh, an "investigation" has been opened.....and how long will that be...oh, it could be weeks...WTF!!!...

Oh Yah, the sign. That was the time Dave Krulitsky followed us in his huge Chevy van. We had 14 people on that weekend I think. That was when we had the BIG crash at the go-carts and Jaz got his hand and leg hurt, that was a pretty hard hit we all got into, glad I was in the lead...ha..ha... Good me...

Whoa...hold the phone, rewind the camera..... What's with the licence plate screws....on such a beautiful build and we have sub-standard mounting screws..... :lol: I used some nice socket head stainless with washers, looks really good. That camera is too cool! I worry when backing into curbed parkin...

The Knox poster I always did for our annual walk up the Hill, to scope out any road changes, etc. It really was an excuse for 12 hours of bench racing, and, the insanity of how intense the go-carts were. It got so the owner knew when we showed up, he would NOT let civilians be on there with us, so w...

I spent yesterday down on the Archives looking for my fuel tank "pump down" hose. It is an AN fitting with 5' of rubber hose screwed onto the threaded fitting. I had made this for the hillclimb, where I could pump down and empty my main tank, to lighten up the car for the race. I now neede...

I will fix that.

Too bad we did not keep going with this at the time, might have quite the reference data base now. 2017 was when Byron last updated.

Anybody else who wants to throw a number in, I can keep this going for a bit. Same format, handle or real name, whatever.

What I did on mine, was to put a 1" section into the brake pedal arm. That both increased the leverage, and, it gave me more "feel", modulation of you will. Plus I bent it over a hair. I can measure that EXACTLY if you like, it has been awhile since I did that....40 years...sheesh.......

Being that there are not many of us older persons left on this site....that REMEMBER the threads we have had... :lol: Here is a list from one of those threads. It has gone by the wayside, to bad, it was filling in lots of holes in the production of our cars. This was from the time I was getting engi...
