The 510 Realm

R180 240Z diff with Datsun LSD. $1800 cdn OBO.

For certain reasons I ran this stock 240 ratio in my 510 but found it wasn't compatible with the ratios in my gearbox and I ended up going to a different ratio with LSD.

I don't know anything about this topic but here is an observation. If I'm not mistaken that motor you have is underhead cam and similar to what originally came in your car. The L series engine is much taller being overhead cam. Some basic measurements should be taken to see if there is sufficient cl...

Looks really good. I like your decision to stick with old school red.

Heinrich, I wanted to post a couple pictures for you but forgot.

These oil pans were manufactured for factory SR applications. Bottom of the pan being parallel to the ground Puts the valve cover canted about 5 degrees to the left side.

Nice score! But don't fall into the project dilution trap. I could tell you some stories. Right now I've got.........

I don't have any feedback about the weather strip, but want to say well done on your metal work, seems like it never ends on these cars unless the are from a very dry climate. At the top of the page was discussion about engine angle which got me thinking that you might consider setting your engine a...

Wow, thanks for posting all those pictures! That's a wild cross section of hardware, cool to see.

I elected to go with the integrated stubs and cv axles because I bought a sube sti lsd diff, AND because I had driveline vibration which I presumed was due to excessive lowering. I feel the cv axles did reduce vibration but only slightly, I've since discovered I have excessive play between the drive...

Is your LSD R180 a Subaru unit? In other words will You require the custom stub axles?

When I first read your post earlier today my immediate thought was what if a person were walking behind his truck?!!! It's an automatic reaction when backing up that if you hear a horn, you come to a halt because the presumption it the horn is directed at YOU. Was the driver of the truck old? Did he...

If there is no further damage besides it actually being seized and Pistons + side walls are undamaged, is it worth buying? And no I am not the seller Short answer is no, not worth buying. Long answer: If the pistons and bores remain in good condition yet the engine is seized, then it would be crank...

Keith, I 'm hearing what you're saying, no leaks at all. I might have just slight leaks at two exhaust unions under the pan. I'll address these, and extend my tail pipe another couple inches.

Question for you, where does your crank case breather vent?

Do you folks have any issues with exhaust getting inside your car? My problem seems worse when the windows are down, but if they are up and I turn the fan on or have the vents open it seems to keep the exhaust out. Of course I get no natural AC when the windows are up. SR20DET and Vee band clamp tur...
