Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Again, not much exciting, trying to get through those cold, wet days. I was going through some picture files, looking for this photo, of a co-worker and friend (to this day). He is having a birthday tomorrow and wanted to send him this picture. That was my 1972 510 that I bought when I got serious a...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Well, another non exciting day on the Realm and a small task for me, I started my car again. It lit right off, so that was good. I see my fuel pressure is showing 4 PSI, should be 3.5. I am going to put a new diaphragm into that Holley regulator , just for safety sake, and then re-adjust once out dr...

Re: supercharged KA24E?
YUP...As I was sitting reviewing the day, I remembered Gary Milligan's car!
I believe he still has that. Wow, that was a long time ago now. He is still working on the latest
A-Mod car, as I believe john Haftner is too.
I guess the Meyers dune buggy with the Porsche engine should qualify also.

Re: supercharged KA24E?
In all my years of racing, both at Boundary Bay and some of other venues, only one person EVER showed up with a super-charger, and it was on his 510. It was a vane style, Judd or Paxton can't remember for sure, He constantly fought the thing to run right, as he had trouble with belt tension constant...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Well, I am a week away from starting my 510 again, so nothing exciting. What I did do was stop by Specialty to see how the Jordan/Bob Datsun 1000 was coming along. Looking so good! Almost ready for fire up, lots of small issues have showed up, not unlike any car that has both sat for 30 years and is...

Re: JDM Nissan Bluebird Coupe (ex JCCA Race Car)
Glad to hear and see you are truck'in along with your car. It is too cool, to have let go.
I know how I felt 2 years ago when mine gave up in the garage.....
I am now so looking forward to season of driving!
Good luck as you progress along!

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
WOW...3..!!!! Yes, a few mods done, 510 wagon rear axle, then of course that gives it bigger rear brakes, hence the 240 finned drums. KYB shocks all around. Not sure what front brakes are. Corvair 13" wheels with beauty rings. Yes, Saturn engine..long story.... Love to see some pics of yours, y...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
I started the 510 the other day, cycling it to 200 F twice before shutting it down. I had received the rubber exhaust hose I ordered a few weeks ago, so much simpler plus it ran out the garage door. Way quieter in the garage and car too, no aluminium vibrating on the floor. Also stopped at Specialty...

Very nice job!
Prep makes all the difference with wrinkle finish.

Re: Dry Sump l20b
I am sure you are likely aware, but I will mention it anyhow.
Make sure have provision to separate air from the oil if you are not buying a proven setup.
Lots of stuff on the Net of course discussing that.

Re: BACK TO MY NISSAN ROOTS
Thanks!
Pretty lucky where we live,we are caretakers of a now 102 year old house, being here for 47 years now. It has not been without it's challenges for sure.
Wish it had a garage!

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Morning World! Nothing exciting to report today, I did order a proper rubber garage exhaust hose for starting the 510. Tired of the crappy aluminum ducting, given it was never designed for this type of service duty. Next engine fire up will be last week of January. I looked at the cost of constantly...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Went and checked out car during the -15 temperatures a few days ago.
Light bulb in engine bay kept it above freezing...37 - 39 F. and the interior of the car was 51 F.
I hope that's it for cold weather.

Re: BACK TO MY NISSAN ROOTS
Morning World! This is the 13th birthday I have had the car now, putting some 171,334 Km (106,466 miles) on it since purchase. Can't believe it is again sitting under a pile of snow. I made sure it was NOT under any trees like last year, where that ice storm dropped the branch on my hood. I last dro...
