510 4-speed transmission pan gasket: Sources?
BvtnDave replied to BvtnDave's topic in General Discussion
bananahamuck: I did buy a roll of cork gasket material from NAPA. ($9.02) Yes, making my own will be easy. In this case, the transmission was very clean inside and out - and was evidently "harvested" from a low-mileage 510 quite some time ago. A replacement cork gasket will certainly last for as long as I will need, and just feels better to me than using (even modern) goop. As for the cost of buying from the online seller, it is really a matter of principle for me. I have purchased a lot of parts (for my Datsun Roadsters) from this source, and it just seems like the recent price increases are somewhat excessive. My hope was one of the typical aftermarket gasket providers would have a listing for such a (formerly) common vehicle, but as you note, the newest Dimes are 50+ years old now. Related to this, it is also a common experience for me to find an online seller has simply found a supplier with stock, buys them on the cheap and quadruples the price. Such is life. One would hope the Datsun community would look out for each other - which it does, for the most part - but self-interest is a motivator for many. -
datzenmike: The distributor I intend to use (for my L18 SSS build) came off the Japan-sourced L18 engine I once had, and appears to only have D409-54K stamped on it. There are no other numbers (such as 22100-?????) evident. On the bright side, the chart shared by DARIN 510 confirms the application for this unit is for '70-'74 L16 SSS & L18 SSS. So, given that the dizzy in hand is in VGC and is appropriate for my current L18 SSS setup, I am confident in using it. One other cool thing of note: The distributor came directly from Japan with a blue cap and blue rotor. These appear to be OEM type parts, and somehow, I found the same blue parts - new - in my stash. Thanks

Loving this conversation. The chart shared by DARIN 510 answers the questions regarding the numbers on the distributors I have in hand. And, the insight by datzenmike will be most helpful when tuning my build.

510 4-speed transmission pan gasket: Sources?
BvtnDave replied to BvtnDave's topic in General Discussion
datzenmike nailed it. That is the gasket, for sure. It seems Crashtd420 has found a source, and I now know that part will fit. Just seems like an excessive price to me. One would hope Felpro or some supplier would have a listing. No doubt someone has a few of these sitting around somewhere. Thanks. -
Initial inquires have left me stumped. The local Nissan dealer is unable to supply a PL510 4-speed transmission pan gasket. (PN 32162-14810) This is not surprising, but a few other stabs at sourcing aftermarket substitutes have yielded nada. Who has info on what/where to buy this part? Thanks
-
Thanks All for your feedback and input. After careful examination, the numbers I shared appear to be the only ones present. Also, it is evident none of them (regardless of the vacuum advance threaded/not-threaded attachment points) are not for a Roadster - as they have a different base with a tach cable drive. So, the idea of using the SSS L18 unit remains top of mind.

Sorting through the old stash of L-series 4-cylinder distributors today. Many similarities, some differences. (All on hand are single-point type). As for identification, they seem to have stamped marks (ID for characteristics?) that may mean - what? One thing I know for certain is the unit with the blue distributor cap came with the Japanese market L18 SSS I bought a very long time ago. Thoughts on these? I'm inclined to use the SSS dizzy as my build is an L18 with the SU carburetors. What says the tribe?
-
Thanks iceman510 and all who replied. The tribe comes through again.

Here is a bit of mystery: So far, the usual suppliers are coming up empty in my quest to find the two-hole fuel line grommets for PL 510 that are located in the RF corner of the engine compartment (below the factory fuel filter location) and under the fuel tank where the lines pass through the floor of the car. Does anyone have a source for these? Thanks

Looking ahead as I reassemble my 2-Door Dime: Any suggestions for more modern/recent front seats that will fit well in a 2-Door? I would prefer to stay in the Nissan family if possible - and like separate/adjustable headrests of some type. (No high-back one piece). Not in love with excessively high side bolsters, so there's that. Of course, whatever is found must tilt forward to allow rear seat access. This is really wide open, but something along the lines of a Sentra (maybe?) or any model that isn't long extinct and may be a likely donor seems like a starting point. Cloth or vinyl would work, (leather drops to #3 on my list) and I do have some fabric that very closely resembles the original (black) vinyl if recovering is needed. In the alternative, a pair of original seats in VGC might work as well. (The set I have is junk. Too far gone to revive, IMO). What say you, Ratsun folk?

As shown in the photo, the lower door glass channel window frames - on which the window is mounted - have pieces on the front edge that fit into the glass-run channel that guide the frame up/down. For lack of a more specific term, I am referring to them as "guides". The parts appear interchangeable from side to side. While one of them on hand could be reused, the other is broken. Any insight on where/how to obtain replacements and/or an upgraded version will be appreciated. ThanksAsk for price

Good news! I am planning to attend. Note: This event is on the same day as the Providence Bridge Pedal bike ride - which causes closures of I-405 and and various bridges from 5 am - noon. So, for those planning on driving to Blue Lake - especially from the West Side, keep that in mind and select a route that will avoid the traffic chaos. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Dan, First let me say we, as part of the Datsun community, really appreciate all of the effort you and your family have put into this annual gathering over these many years. I have enjoyed so many encounters with like-minded enthusiasts while attending, and have been fortunate to make some lasting friendships at Blue Lake. So, if you need some assistance - including financial - to get back on track, feel free to contact me. Perhaps we can get other participants in this forum to reach out to Oregon Parks as well. This may help them understand the significance of our interest in keeping the tradition alive. Strength in numbers may have an impact. Enjoy the Ride! Dave

Wanted: PL 510 (4-door) LR Glass run channel with SS Cladding

Looking to source the rear door LH side glass run channel to match the RH channel as shown on top in the attached photo. It's the version with the SS cladding I need. Thanks!Ask for price

I have been working on a 4-door Dime. Among the parts on hand are two similar - but different - (RH) rear door glass channels that secure the glass run rubber and hold the fixed window in place. One of them has stainless cladding (see photo) while the other matches the painted type as found on the LH side. While I am not sure about the origin of the part with the cladding, adding the "bling" to the LH side appeals to me. So, here are the questions: Does anyone know the origin of the part with the cladding? Could it be from a wagon or different year-model than my car (1972)? And, most importantly (to me, anyway) does anyone have a LH part I can get from them? BTW: I am also looking to source the LR rain gutter trim strip for my car. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for your feedback. See you at Powerland in June.

Good to know. Will reach out. Thanks.

Any and all Datsun parts you can print will be welcome. One idea I have had for a long time: The cowl vent trim pieces for the Datsun 1200 Coupe. They are a cool feature on these cars and are nearly extinct in useable condition.

1972 Datsun 510 4-Door body shell ONLY. There is no title. To be sold complete. I will not cut up or part out. I will not make any trades other than for Datsun 510 parts I may need. This car is primarily good for the body segments that remain. EVERYTHING else has been "harvested". What you see is what you would get. Note: All suspension parts are removed. If you want this shell, you will need a trailer. I will assist in loading, but cannot deliver. There is no evidence of a big smashup anywhere, so if you need sheet metal repair pieces, this could work. The floor pans are solid: A few small areas have been patched and everything has been painted with primer. The trunk area has rust and dents. The roof is straight. The hood is quite straight and in pretty good overall condition. The Trunk lid is straight and has a small (drilled) hole that could be patched. The door hinges are sketchy. The front core support has been removed. The front valance is on hand and could be repaired. The strut towers are both solid. All door glass is in good condition and an extra LF door is included. Windshield is cracked; rear glass is in good condition. I will respond to interested parties in the order of inquiry. I will not waste time answering questions about things that are addressed in this posting. I will not be hosting "tire kickers" - there are no tires to kick. If the posting is up, the shell is still available. email responses are preferred: davecsellers@gmail.com Thank you for your interest. Long Live Datsun!$1,200

Thanks to those responding. It's nice to see the progress on the Dime I used as the basis for my color inquiry. It has come a long way. The 021 Datsun code looks promising - though the code for the 620 in "Kelly Green" is listed as 940. More research is in order to get either one from PPG - though their #44432 seems correct. Just want to be sure to do this right.
