Hey everyone. Name's Matt, located in Kansas and I just bought my First Datsun 510 and I love it! Been away from the car scene for a few years due to other life priorities so I'm gonna ask a lot of questions that have most likely been answered. I'll be sure to browse the forums first to avoid any repeat posts.
Any help and info will be much appreciated!
The goal for my 510 is making the engine more reliable. It runs fine but I wanna clean up the engine bay, put some go-fast parts on to increase performance a little (carb, headers, exhaust, cam upgrade, etc). Basically make the L16 the best it can be without tearing into it too much because I plan on doing a motor swap later down the road. Next will be brakes and suspension upgrade. Last will be body work. Not gonna mess with the interior as you can see in the pics it's mostly original. I'd rate the interior a 9/10. But I am thinking of putting in 240z front seats and 240z steering wheel. So far, I've bought new headers, polished manifold, Weber 32/36, new radiator with electric fans, new engine gasket kit and a cool little Datsun keychain
