Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
Dash wiring, gauges and hidden wiring into the engine bay all took much longer than expected.

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
Ok, too long between updates. So lots of catching up to be done... The rear seats and trims were installed, seat belts as well. I found out later given my car was a private import into Australia I needed to install retrackable seats in the rear as well. So everything needed to come out again. The lo...

Re: Jeff's '70 2 Door
Hi again Jeff, I used the new aftermarket one piece bumpers. They are effectively too straight through the main body of the bumper. I’m not sure if I explained back on my thread, but I cheated a little. I cut the brackets down, around 10mm from memory and rewelded. Then offered up to the car, I obvi...

Re: Jeff's '70 2 Door
Hi Jeff, Your car is coming along nicely... having been through all issues can I suggest a few things - get your door seals now and TAPE them onto the door whilst get your body lines right. So all major adjustments can be done now prior to paint - check the main body line of the quarter to the door....

Re: Alternative Modern Wiper Motor Conversions
My next question, which Datsun comes out with a threee stage switch that will fit the original position in the dash?

Re: Alternative Modern Wiper Motor Conversions
An update on my Integra wiper motor conversion- 1. Make sure you put the 510 drive arm on the Integra motor drive shaft in the correct orientation! It can go on one of two ways. If 180 degrees off, the motor will jam your wiper blades into the cowl when you first turn on the wipers and you'll have ...

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
OK, I'm steadily moving along trying to complete jobs so I can look to fire this car up some time soon. But one thing was bothering me, that being the side windows, they wouldn't close and clamp properly. I finally figured it out and for you guys that always had two doors, it might come as common se...

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
Gawd, those bumpers look great!! Excellent job on the wiring, looks very good. Thanks! The bumpers did take some time, but well worth it in the end. I pretty happy with the wiring, but after finishing that day I did realise that I had forgotten something, that being the wiring for the guard indicat...

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
Lastly, start working through some of the wiring in the engine bay. Looks reasonably clean, will need a little tidy up when everything is completed.

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
You wouldn't believe how long I spent messing with this heater cable before I recognised the error in my ways. I probably shouldn't admit it publicly, but oh well I happy to poke a bit of fun at myself.

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
Things are slowing down as I get to more of the fiddle bits of putting the car back together. Rear screen (including new rubbers), parcel shelf and speakers are in. Looking at it now, the rear speakers look out of place so I will have to change them for something a little more - a bit too modern for...

Re: USA to Western Australia my two door 510 build
I'm using the new one piece aftermarket bumpers and one thing I noticed when initially fitting them is that are a lot straighter than a original item. This straightness results in some big gaps (especially on the rear of the car) between the body and the bumper. Whilst I did dummy fitted them in the...
