Re: My first Datsun
How wide of a tire and rim can I fit under my rolled fenders? I was thinking something like 195/45/R15x7.5 0 offset both front and back sound about right? no camber plates or anything

Re: My first Datsun
How about using the 510 springs, perches and top hats? Would that give me the same handling or should I use 210 stuff?

Re: My first Datsun
Does the spring choice affect the final spring rate? I need enough to support a ka24de along with my spirited driving style. Maybe 300lbs spring rate?

Re: My first Datsun
Alright guys, in two weeks I'm bringing it into my advanced auto tech class. At this point I will have $3000 dollars, and want to get my car stopping on a dime, cornering very well, and looking awesome. Looking at the 280zx stuff, it seems pretty cheap from rockauto.com but I'm having a little ...

Re: WTB 280zx rotors, calipers, front struts
So can a old style master clyinder off the 280zx (two vertical bolts instead of horizontal) plug right into a 510? Will the m/c work with newer style rear calipers?

Re: My first Datsun
Yeah there's dings absolutely everywhere but not much rust except the trunk which is see through. I'm just collecting my parts right now just to get it running good. I don't really care much about the look of it, I just want the rust taken out. I'm not going to paint over that patina though, maybe ...

Re: My first Datsun
Oh okay. Wheww... That got me sweating a little. Any way is coming along pretty good, 2/3rd day I had it the engine was already out lol. I'm looking to get brakes and suspension next, then it will be off to the body shop for window and door seals plus a tiny chip repair in the windshield.

My first Datsun
Hello, I've been advised to introduce myself and my car so here I am. I'm George and I live up in Shoreline, WA. About 2 months ago I picked up a cool little 1970 Datsun 510 for $2150. It's the same one that sssr20det510 was selling down in Vancouver, WA. It actually made it most of the way up until ...
