EVILC

 

Where at? Would definitely be interested. The Limerock vintage race is coming up soon as well.

Now for what I know you all want-

Bracket for the filter Mounted up

Filter Element in place

Rear Filter on

Front Filter Element on

The filter element ovalizes some more when the cap is put on so I dont know if it still touches- was tough to say

Completed- Thanks Todd! You got a spot in my engine bay with the sticker

May have to replace two of the studs in the front carb since they came out of the carb and the nut stayed on- seems to hold fine though- I locktited everything and the filters came with some nice nyloc nuts as well.

Got my Air Filters from Todd at Wolfcreek- Hoping the rain holds off so I can mount em up tonight- Will get some shots up once they are on.

 

Think Ive decided I am just going to get two new 5 point harnesses- probably simpson- so both the passenger and the driver seat will have 5 point- probably 2-4 weeks out on that since harnesses are not cheap...

Throw me an offer if your interested- can get you more shots if you need em but they are brand new.

Got these with the car- way to small to fit with the stacks on- Ordered a 3 1/2" set to use with the stacks.

 

Both are brand new- out of package though. One came with out the packaging the other I opened to make sure I had all the parts that came with them. Both have 2 gaskets, 4 clips, and a bag of nuts and a plastic piece- should have taken a picture of the parts but forgot to- its all there though, you can see half the parts in the picture through the opening.

 

You can see all the part numbers and what not off the packaging.

 

Just paid over $100 bucks shipped for 2 new ones- Lets call these $70 shipped to your door.

 

PM me please.

 

Cheers

 

So I have been looking into belts for the passenger seat... not sure if i want to do a simlar 4 point (obviously has its downfalls...) 5 point or just a lap belt

I don't know if the 510 actually goes fast enough to need one lol- I'm definitely getting one of those meters because I do worry about it not starting at a bad time

Yea saw the plug and popped it-

 

I actually do have a working cigarette lighter! - but a radar detector will probably take that plug soon-

 

Tested it with the new alternator- all good 13.5+ with all the lights on-

 

Although realized my front signals aren't working anymore... The lights are on but they don't flash... Found a few threads on it- going to check the 4 way flashers first-

 

Pulled the dash/cluster off last night and just put it right back on- lol - that's alot of wires-

 

No love for the 510 today since im in NYC all day -

 

 

External regulator is long gone-

 

Alternator tested bad as well- got the IR one for a 200sx bolted it in - hooked it up - charge light is gone and it starts no hesitation

 

Next up- start working on the gauges-

Got the problem figured out- the alternator on there 14118 is an externally regulated alternator for the original 510 motor- ordering a new internally regulated alternator for a 200sx that should do the trick-

 

Also found out the trunk leaks like a sive- so time to pony up for a car cover

Great to hear she is on the Road! As I said, I always had a thing for this car-

 

I just picked up Brad's red car last weekend- great to be in a 510-

I guess since I finally have a dime i need to post here!

 

 

 

 

 

The start of a whole new adventure for me! Stoked!!

Went ahead and ordered the big filters from Todd at Wolfcreek- should allow me to keep the big stacks-

Only got a chance to do one thing to the Datsun today...

Added the get out of the way arrow-

Tried to get a shot of the alternator for my own purposes this is the only one that came out clean- going to pull it in the am and get it tested- probably going to have to order a new one

 

Todd from Wolfcreek said he has some big 3.5" K&N Style ones that would clear them so that is an option- or one of the clamp on or snap on individual filters... but I am unsure of their actual filtering capabilities so ill prob go with Todd's

So my guess is its probably the alternator since is a 60 amp-

 

Ill pull it and get it checked- if they say its bad Ill order a new one- looks like I can get the 79 200sx 60amp internal alt for like 55 bucks from autozone

Off it was 11.75- Running it was around 12

 

Gonna check the amperage out of it and probably pull it to go have it checked- unfortunately its raining already so probably not today.

 

I have some redline air cleaners that are very similar to those- I guess I could run them if I took the stacks off- I would love to keep the stacks on there though, although if they are going to be covered by a cleaner then the aesthetic aspect of them is no longer there

Got a few minutes to play with it this evening before it got dark- with a jump it starts right up- volts out of the battery and the alt are around 11.75 - didnt get to check the amps- headlights are super dim- battery i think is good since I probably got a solid 10+ starts out of it with no issue- and then nothing

 

Looking like rain tomorrow so probably no chance to play with it- need to get a cover since its outside- hopefully saturday will be nice to I can take sometime and figure this stuff out.

 

Ill be back with more questions and some answers soon enough lol-

I like this car.kinda funky fuel routing. Fuel comes from the drivers side to the fuel pump which is not a 510 one.All 510 lines come from the under neath from the passenger side to the fuel pump then out as you have it.I see prveios owner hid the wires.temp guage its this stock? try seating the instrument connector in back.Fuel gause is a wire in center of tank. see if that hooks up and does soemthing.If not try gorunding the wire and see what the gause does.My gauge hasnt worked in years but I have a trip meter i use and fill up every 170-180 miles to be safe.for the carb air cleaners they make a foam sock to fit over.YOu can get new cables for the speedo. stock 4 sp or 200sx77-79 5 speed can use same 510 cable

Thanks for the tips banzai -Im going to guess that the fuel pump was put in with the engine swap and probably came from the donor but who knows- Car runs quite well, was idling a little high but I stopped by one of the local vintage shops (Stonebridge Performance) and Mike was nice enough to take a minute and make some small adjustments to bring down the idle- car sounds great at idle now- definitely have alot of learning to do on these carbsThe fuel gauge is stock and it is wired, so i believe I just need to hook it up- same thing with the temp gauge-Speedo definitely needs a cable- so good to know that those should work- although I am unsure exactly what 5spd is in itSpent last night looking into air cleaners and I do not know what I want to run- definitely want some sort of foam or cloth filter on them (not just a wire mesh)- and I like the idea of a stack "sock" or the pop on filters just for simplicity-Thanks everyone- keep the tips coming- I am jumping into the deep end on some of this electrical stuff-

Thanks Again Brad! Absolutely Stoked on the Car!

Been a lurker for quite some time now-but finally found myself a 510.

Stumbled upon Brad's (Mr. Bohica) 71 4dr on craiglist and after a couple weeks of talking things over I made the trek down to Maryland and picked it up. Super stoked to finally have a 510- already have it registered and driving around.

Still needs a bit of love though- First things to take care of
-Find out why the battery isn't charging (got a good 10 starts or so out of it no problem; and then nothing this evening at work, got a jump, 45 minute drive later, and nothing when I got home)
-Get all the gauges hooked up- some of them sometimes work?? Temp gauge worked for half the drive to work today- tack bounces around sometimes- need a speedo cable as well, and need to connect the fuel gauge
-Need to get some air cleaners on the stacks- got some from Brad but they are definitely not deep enough so need to decide what I want to run from their
-come up with a way to connect either a belt or harness for the passenger seat
-decide what I want to do about mirrors- need some more time with the wink mirror to decide if i like it or not
-transmission has a pretty good whine in 4th and 5th; but that could be just the shear lack of deadening material
- would like to relocate the ebrake as well sometime-

Probably going to leave the paint and body as it is for right now- same for the interior- although i may toss a head unit and some speakers in there- this beast is loud and something to drown the sound out might help

There will definitely be plenty of questions... and any suggestions are welcome.. Ill do my best to keep this updated.

Thanks again Brad! Stoked to have a 510!

Here are some oics of the journey- 7:30am to 9:30pm- Tacoma hauled it like a champ-

Uhaul didnt want to rent me the full trailer... Said the Tacoma wasnt big enough- Called the place in Stamford and they didnt care at all


Riding a little bit low; fully loaded;


What a view to have for the 6 hour ride back


Night shot- little bit of editing made for a cool shot- love the yellow lights and the grill badge



And here is a link to Brad's thread for more history on it-

Looking forward to following this thread- have a thing for that car. even chatted with Mr. Bohica about it but decided it was more of a project then I could handle.
