The 510 Realm

i too run 300s in orange beast --and pumpkin has 275 as those are springs i had leftover - i dont know anyone running 350s f/r i think if running 250s you may want a rear bar-- with 300 its shouldnt be a rear bar-- but there is a distinct difference some feel a rear bar is needed and some dont-- mo...

The plan is to run coilovers front and rear. I know some people run 350/350 with front and rear coilovers but I didn't want to it to be that stiff.

I'm doing the 280zx coilover conversion kit from t3 and I'm not quite clear on whether I should shorten the struts as part of the process. I know it's an issue of ride height but I'm not super in tune to the pros and cons. Currently, I'm running an L20b but may upgrade to a ka in the future. Additio...

I'm in the process of doing a couple upgrades on the suspension of the 510 and I'm looking for some guidance regarding brakes. So far I've ordered the rear coilovers and the front weld on kit for the 280zx struts. Right now for an engine I'm running an L20b with dual Mikuni 40's but at some point in...

how much downside would there be from using the micro kit that t3 has vs the regular big brake? I want to say it's about an 1 inch difference in rotor size?

I just moved to Berkeley. My 510 should be out here at the end of the month.

who is the go to shop to do an SR20 swap in the greater bay area?

What's the going rate for a rear diff?

Most likely somewhere in the easy bay, probably Berkeley or Oakland. I'm pushing the wife to find a rental with a garage, she hates the idea of me bringing the Datsun and limiting ourselves to apts with garages or carports. I told her it's one of the nonnegotiable things. Yea I'm definitely bummed w...

So back in July of 2014 I picked up a four door 1970 510 down in Ocala, FL. The story I was told was that there was previously a turbo tom setup on the engine. Unfortunately, when I met the owner at the airport, he didn't bring it with him. My thinking was that he forgot to bring it on purpose so he...

It's all relative to what you're willing to pay. I've got a pretty good condition 510 with mikuni 40's and real watanabe wheels and I'm in Boston(Somerville) but I'm not actively looking to sell the car. Someone would have to make me an offer I can't refuse to get rid of it.

So I want to pick up some basic hand tools to work on the datsun. Nothing too crazy, some sockets and some wrenches to cover the basics. I know Snap On stuff is supposed to be some of the best but it's not really in my budget to spend that kind of money right now. What brands should I be looking at?...

Just got the new wheels/tires, hoping to get them on the car this weekend.

Mike was the one selling hte 44's with linkage and manifold for $1950. I had no idea they were that expensive so I was trying to get a sense if that is the new market price.
