    Didn't think the time would ever come, but I cannot keep both my project cars. I have owned this one the last 10 years. Start with the problems. It is currently not running, the price reflects that and may change if I find time to diagnose and fix it. I recently did a new coil, matchbox dizzy and plug wires. Coil wire didn't come with an elbow so wasn't long enough. The car was running well after this work. Only about 150 miles on those parts. It has spark (not sure how timed or strength), it does not seem to be getting fuel. Older Italian Weber 32/36 strong squirt from the accelerator pump and idle and air jets are not plugged. A squirt of starter fluid and it fires right up but only for a brief moment. It has some body damage and some rust. I can take more specific pictures as needed. I did try to cover the main rust bits. The primered corner has some bondo and the body line to trunk lid isn't quite right. Bought it this way and never prioritized the body work. Interior is kinda rough, dash is awful. Radio has never been hooked up since I bought it. The Good stuff and info: 280zx front brakes and struts. B210 springs shortened about 1 coil for a little stiffer ride. Collar method for adjustment as found here on the forum. Camber adjustable with some period 510 camber plates. H89 (peanut) head Nissan Valve cover Long tube header. It's not pretty under that wrap, bought it from a guy in puerto rico sight unseen flows great and doesn't leak. 2" exhaust through single muffler in front of axle and silly side exit exhaust Weber 32/36 Carb Remanufactured Matchbox dizzy and New coil Seats are from a 76/77, which aren't direct bolt in but after fitting the 75 sliders to them I gained over 4" of headroom. Steering wheel I believe is a GX wheel. I may still have the stock wheel. Wheels are appliance dia-mags with decent tires. Also comes with complete set matching the spare Gotti style mag wheel in the trunk picture. All 8 wheels are 14x6 et 0 for the diamags +10 for the Gotti style mags Comes with a tow bar that goes on with 2 pins or bolts. Previous owner towed it behind an RV. Which is nice so I can deliver locally or you can drag it home yourself. Lots of extra parts including a spare block, nos pistons, mystery cam (don't recall what I was told about it but its supposedly a performance cam) new clutch kit, extra tail lights, bumper trims and bumperettes, original carb/air cleaner, original head (though it ate a valve seal), hubcaps, plenty of other stuff.

  2. Lucky for the buyer, not only the pallet is included but also wood screws to hold it to the roof!
  3. This was a Ratsun car back when I got my b210 and joined here. Sad to see it regressed. If I powered up my old laptop I could post some pics of this build when it was "fresh"

    I need to free up some storage so I have been going through my spare parts and am passing on some duplicates to someone who needs em. I AM NOT PARTING MY CAR, picture is just for attention/legitimize the post or something. Maybe showing off cause 9 years later and I still love this thing. Currently I am not interested in shipping stuff, but may be willing to ship some small stuff if no one local really wants it all. For $50 you can take the B210 stuff below. Bring me a case of beer or something if you don' t want the hubcaps: 5 Stock Steel wheels, 4 "good" tires (old, kinda dry but hold air and have tread) 1 previously the spare in worse shape. Good rollers. Hubcaps. I have some honeycombs and some "deluxe" I believe. I may hold on to a couple but I should have at least two sets to give up. A stock carb for parts or rebuild. With air cleaner housing, Grille with 1 partly broken tab and some light cracking. Its actually nicer than the one I cleaned up, painted and installed. Good drivers side taillight and cracked/broken passenger Front seats from my 75 no rails (one on the right in the photo, thats driver, passenger is less torn. One on the left is from a 78 and what I installed) Could make garage seats or refinish and replace yours. Sadly I trashed some stuff when I moved, but I am sure I have some other miscellaneous stuff too. If you need em I have bumperettes for the US bumpers, havent removed the front but I will be refinishing my bumpers soon without em. I also have the bumper trims for this as well as a second set if you need those. I may have more laying around that I will throw in as well. Maybe can talk me out of my spare block. It was from a built motor, not sure if I have the flat top pistons around for it anymore or not... The other wheels not B210 specific/oem $75 Western Mesh 13x6 +10. Holes are a little ovaled, they ran great with proper shank lugs and washers. Not sure if its a unilug thing or if someone messed them up, but I got them this way. Good fit, I didn't try them after the 280zx brake upgrade. I can test fit one if someone wants. Most 13s dont fit, but you never know.

  5. Love the project! I also have been lusting over Dajiban for a long while. Not sure why I never paid much attention to the non datsun projects part of the forum, this place seems to generally match up with my eclectic tastes well.
  6. B210 check in! Been daily driving my B again this summer. Man I missed it. Life has been hectic and it needed a little work. I have a new summer toy which means no funds to buy non US spec bumpers like I had planned to eventually do last 9 years... I put the front bumper back on so I could tow it to the new house last summer (previous owner has tow bar mounts welded to it, they pulled it near 300k miles behind an RV). I decided to mount up the rear bumper again. After taking off the bumperettes, drilling the absorbers and pushing them in nearly 3" I don't hate the look. I am not sure I will drill the front as I would trust the tow bar (get out of jail free card) even less... I will post pics of the rear mounted back up after the bumpers and grille get the fresh coat of paint they got prepped for yesterday. Seats! I have had some Prelude sport seats I wanted to put in this car as well as some out of a less torn up 78 B I picked up ages ago. The prelude seats were going to go in when I weld the floors, well the floors haven't gotten worse so I haven't gotten to it. Those seats are destined for my other project now anyways. So, in effort to make room in storage I put the '78 seats in. The rails mount a little differently between 75 and 78, so I had to flatten parts of the 78s shell so there was clearance for the slide lever. Well I got them in to find myself sitting a solid 3" lower than before. @6'2 this is something I should have done a long while ago. Its wild what 3" can do, the wheel feels so high now and I am not used to having a blind spot. Pedal angle is way better and I can actually heel toe a little easier now. And if I ever get the auto/rally-X bug I can fit with a helmet on now! I am considering mixing up the direction I take this car with the Celica in the garage now. I have been itching to build a baja bug for a while but have no space for a 3rd project car. Considering a mild safari build on the B210. Probably no body cutting, not cause I am worried about being able to go back to stock, but because I love how the car is now and am not sure I am ready to commit to giving this up. I will share some pics soon after parts are freshened up. May even throw on the "fancy" headlights with led turns I got from 5280Datsun 9 years ago (along with the seats, spare grille, bumper trims, and other misc parts). Could free up the openings in the grille for some projector driving lights or something silly.
  7. I am running a weber 32/36 on mine. It's an older OG Italian one with manual choke. I already was comfortable working on the DGV webers since my first car was converted to one. It runs about the same as the OG, maybe a touch more power at the higher end but its minimal and the car isn't built for speed. I love the simplicity of the weber and the car starts just as easily as ever. You will have to figure out what to do with a bunch of vacuum lines and some emissions stuff. I cannot remember exactly what because though I only recently replaced the stock carb I deleted the air pump system on my car ages ago. You will want to route vacuum from the intake or carb (my weber doesn't have a port) to your distributor and take care of your breather from the PCV valve and valve cover. Lots of lines can be plugged. Make sure you keep the hard lines for the fuel system, while it looks like you can improve on some routing or anything there is a restrictor on the return line and if you bypass it you will likely have too much fuel pressure, or hardly any depending on how you route the return. If you haven't found it the tech wiki at the Datsun1200 page has a wealth of resources unlike any one place I have found for any of the other cars I have owned aside from maybe some sources dedicated AC VWs. Blows the doors off anything I have found to help navigate Gen1 Celica ownership... What makes you think the carb needs a full rebuild or replacement?
  8. Pretty sure the B210 springs/perches are narrower than the 280zx. I cut the perches off my B210, shortened the spring 1.5 coils and used collars on my 280zx struts. I dont remember if this is a requirement but I believe it was, probably as mentioned in the thread I found here over 5 years ago.
  9. Post up some pictures. Something to keep in mind when sizing tires/wheels is that you can always gain a LITTLE fender clearance upfront when doing the 280zx front strut swap. the front track width narrows by about 10mm each side if I remember correctly.
  10. Sounds like a good plan, I wish I could run 13s sometimes. Are the Hayashis one of the 13s that fit over the ZX rotors?
  11. 1975, and yes they will fit, but as far as my datsun project goes right now seats are a lower priority so they are not installed yet.
  12. I will be mounting some 89 Prelude Si seats in my B soon. The driver seat is fully adjustable including bolsters. They are in near perfect shape. Thank you mildy wrecked but beautiful Si in the pick n pull.
  13. Yup and thats if you can bid on it without a broker. Theres another $250 if you cannot.
  14. Decent looking 210 on Copart. this could be had for under 1k. https://www.copart.com/lot/40447196/?resultIndex=17&totalRecords=30&backTo=%2FwatchList%2F&query=*&displayStr=My%20Watchlist&viewedLot=40447196
