The 510 Realm

Ladies and genlemen, boys and girls, allow me to reintroduce myself. Hi!! My name is Chris and despite popular belief, I actually do more than just collect really cool parts. Rarely, ever so rarely, I actually work on the car myself. So, in the spirit of getting dirty as all hell it was time to brea...

So, my Wolf Creek Racing CV axel kit and R200 stub axes came in and everything looks great. One of the most well packaged kits I have ever received. And, they even gave me some amazing instructions with pictures that were extremely detailed. Great stuff!! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them ag...

As would be par for the course of my life. With every window of prosperity, there is a dark ominous reward. Today I got a lovely letter from the IRS. I'm getting a (rectal) examination. I give so much to charity. Seriously, I am thinking about stopping. It just triggers things like this. So aggravat...

@Dave - Thank you man!! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to answer all of my questions and helping me get confident with the purchase. After 5 minutes with you on the phone I knew I had the right product and the right support behind me to know how to use it. Can't wait to get these bad boy...

Not a huge update, but parts continue to roll in. Futo Fab adjustable rear cross member brackets are in. Great looking quality and extremely well packed. I only wish I knew how to adjust the damn things lol.

A mini fridge is already in the works my friend....

Got to work Friday night and didn't stop until just now. I had already finished the epoxy on the other side of the floor. I used a little less flake so I could find the nuts and bolts I'm sure ill drop working on the Miracle Whip reassembly. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8259/8651326926_b8e3a2fd86.j...

So, I have been busy traveling and researching, but have been acquiring parts for the rear subframe build for the last couple of weeks. I am also finished with the epoxy on the garage floor and haved moved on to painting the walls and ceiling of the garage with a high gloss white and a high gloss li...

two_68_510s - Powder coating would have a nominal effect on performance at worst, but I may just powder coat the cover. I already sprayed my engine with high heat enamel paint and found it extremely easy to work with. Although, if I were to do it again, I would go with a matte black finish. You can ...

Look what I was fortunate enough to find. A 1986 300ZX R200 LSD with a 3.70 gear ratio and the lovely finned cover. I was going to go R180, but I couldn't find a good clutch type LSD for a decent price. Subaru rears from 2004-2007 fit the bill, but then you are looking at an additional money for the...

Hi everyone! I didn't want anyone to think I was getting too sidetracked. I've been enjoying my rear subframe research and learning about what parts I really do need and more importantly, why. I think a lot of people build things they don't entirely understand, but know that is what most people do. ...

Dude!!! What a great thread!! Awesome!!! Thank you!!!!

@okayfine - Penultimate piece with core exchange may be perfect for my needs and skill set! I will do a search and try to find more about their services before going the Datsport route. Once again, thank you so much!!! I can't tell you how helpful this is to a guy like me. @shacks510 - That is a bea...

I am looking at rear crossmembers but have yet to grasp the difference between a slotted version and an adjustable one. A slotted rear crossmember IS adjustable. Byron's brackets give you adjustability as well, as does a Penultimate, or the Datsport brackets. It comes down to how much adjustability...

From excitement? Or have you figured out my paint/body situation?
