I've this '71 510 since November, just been driving / enjoying it and keeping up with regular maintenance and seeing to issues as they inevitably come up. Slowly I'm making a list of things I'd like to do when the car comes off the road this fall and in the future.
If anyone in the Vancouver area likes to cruise, it would be great to see some local 510s or other dattos!
Engine:
l20b Bored to 2.2
Colt cam
40mm webers
a bunch of other period go fast bits resulting in a satisfying l20b package
280z 5spd
ect. ect.
Suspension:
Cut 510 struts KYB gas inserts all around
new bushings
fat sway bar up front
Coming in the near future:
engine bay wire tuck
New wheels
front coil overs on 280zx struts
new rear lowering springs
new 2 1/4 exhaust
interior
bumpers
the list goes on and on
Until next time!

Hello and welcome to The Realm. If you could put your location in your profile, that'll help us know where you are once you move beyond this thread.
Seems to be a fair few events in BC, so you shouldn't have to wait too long before gathering with other 510s. Any profile shots so we can see the wheels?

The wagon you saw was likely 510Rob above... That's his daily machine.
I'm blessed that in my little area in Maple Ridge there are about 5 running/driving 510's on the road so I get to see hem locally once in a while. There are also a couple active roadster guys and a couple S30 Z cars in the neighbourhood as well to keep the vintage Datsun feel spread around.
Welcome to the site, and I saw your registration to next months All Japanese Classic as well.
