Hey Mike! I messaged two Datsun buddies in KC area to keep their eyes out! Hey Aaron! So you ended up in KC area? I have family in Smithville, Lawrence & scattered around! My grandparents lived out their lives in Lee's Summit 🙂 Last time I passed thru was in Nov 2019, but might try to get back there in 2023!

Very cool, but that is a BLANK................no internal oil catch baffle, no hole for a fitting to that baffle & the holddown "bosses" are not drilled. Bet that was a test part, or simply never sent out for machining! 🙄

😎 Wow, that is some NICE patching! I would say you are in good hands! 😎

I was one of the lucky ones............throughout 10+ years of daily driving MG's, I was never left stranded on the side of the road, except when I did something stupid like wrecking one! I started working at the first British resto/repair shop at 20 yrs old & learned to fix whatever needed fixing, correctly..............not like the jerry rigging that so many did (same as on the Datsun's!). I would fix things properly! 😉

Dood, that's a fire hazard............or at least potential smoke damage!!!! (remember, I grew up in British!) 😂

There are two 70-73 510 factory tachs...........70-71 is white needle, 72-73 is orange needle (they match the speedo needle). Either will work in any 70-73 510 2dr 4dr Wagon. Each wires in a little different, but either can be used 70-73. Most work, but some can have corrosion/oxidation and/or broken wires, so a KNOWN TO WORK or tested is always worth more. That said, anywhere from $250-550 😁

Oh don't be silly, those are blue LED lights under that pan!! Duh 😆

Well, who says the "elite", the do nothings behind all of this ARE actually getting the jab?? Biden & others created photo ops..............doesn't mean they actually took the "vax". Does anybody know if a human can be tested for the presence of the mRNA spike protein?? Would THAT be a fun study, with all of these "elitists" ie Biden, Harris, Fauci etc etc!! My logic is to look & listen to ANY & ALL ideas. It is HOW any one person responds to these ideas coming from others. I never ran around telling friends & family NOT to get the jab..............but I did not get it. I never ran around pointing & screaming about what this current "administration" was & is STILL doing......but I think they are all political crooks with an agenda that will ultimately change how we live. I never openly stated that the Russian Dosier was a hoax........but it was. Should I have? I would have been outwardly labeled as a conspiracy theorist, by family & friends that disagreed with me. I do hold some importance on what other people think of me...........but I do NOT let it rule my life!

She took her regular supplements, but toughed it out regarding the other stuff that we both agree on. We bought the vet ivermectin over a year ago, but never used it. We never bought the HCQ, but have some friends that did. I have been avoiding hanging out with her for the last week, until she feels better, but have at least seen her every other day for something.........no "hands on"! Hope to hang out tomorrow & we WILL talk about it all..............maybe she DID sneak a mouthful of the ivermectin??!! 😂

Man, that is some really bad B movie makeup!! 😆

To be the lefts puppet...............which he is!! Look at this situation!! They had to know who/what they were putting in that position............he has been a MORON his whole career. A compulsive liar & at this point, a compulsive crook too! I do consider that they were completely aware & planned on keeping him drugged up throughout his term. But the other reality is that he developed this babbling dementia after it was too late. I understand that dementia can take over somebody's life VERY quickly. If that is the case, I feel for him as a person. But the left has KEPT him in that position & he is on a strong path of destroying so much in this country, it is terrifying 😑 Then again, what is the lefts alternative? Kamaltoe Harris & THAT might have been much worse............

The factory 240Z dual Hitachi ROUND TOP carb set ups complete, show up for sale relatively often for $250-450, but typically need rebuilding. If you are experienced with that, they are pretty straight forward. If not, ZTherapy in CA will rebuild them. They offer a "basic rebuild" which looks good & they offer a "full restoration rebuild", where thry yellow zinc all of the pieces parts.............they look NEW! We sometimes have complete sets, as we use triple sidedraft carbs on all of our vintage race builds, thus often have spare parts that we will not use. We also do street Z rebuilds/resto's & always send to ZTherapy for their full rebuilding service! If you buy the 810 & think that's the direction you want to go, message me here (PM) to see if we have any for sale! What was the factory HP rating for the 810? Compare it to the 240Z, which was around 150hp. You would not see a big gain, but it sure would be cool! Keep in mind that you can also have a slightly larger exhaust system custom made (you will NOT find a bolt on aftermarket exhaust for the 810!), along with a good higher flowing muffler. Now, if you go to triple sidedraft carbs or an aftermarket EFI system like the Jenvey (look at 240Z applications), you WILL see a noticeable improvement in power, with proper tuning. Talk about LOOKING cool too, under the hood! 😎 PS you will very likely just use your existing factory cast iron exhaust manifold & downpipe. Any L series 6cyl exhaust manifold or aftermarket Z car header should bolt up to your cylinder head, but I will have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER if a Z car manifold (dual downpipe) or a Z car header would clear your steering, subframe, frame rails etc. Yes, a fuel pressure regulator is a good idea, as the SU Hitachi carbs (and the Weber/Mikuni's) do not require the higher pressure of EFI. We put electric pumps on all of our race builds, along with a regulator. I can help guide you on the components we use, but we do NOT buy the cheapest parts, as you get what you pay for! I see you might be a 2002 guy? If so, you understand! 😁

Also, just about ANY wheel for a Z car will bolt up to the 810 & I bet the standard Z offset would be just fine!

Hmmmmmm. It is a LONG block!? The L20B was available in rear sump (way more common) & front sump. All they did was reengineer the oil pick up tube to suit the sump.............it bolted to the block in the same spot (same spot as the L16 L18 too). I'm gonna leave this info here, but............. Mike you are correct on the 6cyl! I just looked at an LD28 diesel block that we have kept around, after pirating the diesel crank out of it! The LD28 came in..............the Maxima chassis & had a different oil pan, thus sump, thus oil pick up tube. The standard Z car L28 had the oil pick up tube mounting point about halfway in between front to back of block (as you thought)................the diesel block had the mounting point only 4-1/2 inches back, from the front of the block! And, BOTH blocks have the "boss" in the casting. The diesel LD28 block is only a "boss" where the standard pick up is, with a blank hole machined, but no actual oil passage. The standard L28 block has the diesel pick up "boss", but it is completely blank, no machining! That said, Rebello is apparently using the LD28 diesel block to build a 3.5L, but I have never talked to him about it. It must have really thick cylinder bore walls?? So that lends to the question if there is enough horizontal space between the block & the shallow end of the sump, to "extend" an oil pick up tube (as you suggested) OR can the standard L28 block be machined to open up & utilize the forward oil pick up mounting point for the 810/Maxima chassis & oil pan combo?? THIS is what makes this stuff fun!! 😎 2002jm if you are NOT looking to modify the 810, you might struggle with the old technology EFI system..................especially because parts will likely NOT be available. We have to send fuel injectors out for rebuilding for any 280Z's we are working on! So if you were looking for a cool mod & more performance, I bet installing a set of the 240Z dual Hitachi carbs (round top only, NOT the flat top) would wake it up. Again, a set of triple sidedraft Weber's or Mikuni's would be way cool, but likely more effort & tuning requirements!

I liked the "Biden is a clone" theory, that amplified his bad attributes!! 😂😖

Wow, cool find! Well, I NEVER outwardly just make an offer on ANY car. You could offer way more than the seller thought or you could insult them to the point where they kick you out! It truly is not a valuable car, but it is unique! It is worth what you are willing to invest...............but if I was to consider that car, I would be under $1000. I ALWAYS ask a seller to put a number on it, then go from there! One of my favorite responses to a seller that says "Well how much will you give me for it?", comes from Mike Wolfe on American Pickers.........."Come on, I can't sell it & buy it too!!" Had a local guy call, said he had a 1977 280Z in his garage for 20++ years, hadn't touched it in last 5 years, were we interested? "Yes, what do you want for it?" "Well, why don't you come look at it, make an offer?" The problem here is that our time is valuable. If we got out there & he said he wanted $10k, it would not be for us, thus a waste of time. I explained, said "Why don't you sleep on it, let me know what you want for it?" Now, that too is dangerous, cuz many will jump on internet & assume their car is a gold mine. He called me back the next morning, gave me a number. I RAN to my boss, said get yer truck, let's get the trailer, we have a 280Z to buy! We spent 2minutes looking at the car, I told my boss "Get the money out NOW!" We paid him, and he said "Great, now let's get the boxes of NEW & USED parts out of the garage!". That was one of the best purchases we have made! That car is now 95% restomod'd & beautiful!

My gf has been sick for over a week, tested positive last Sunday. Poor thing felt like she got hit by a truck, but she STILL doesn't have that concoction of drugs (the jab) in her & never will! That has been her decision, thankfully! 😉 Saw her briefly last night, she is doing much better!

This is why ANYBODY that voted for or continues to support this JOKE of an "administration" we have, should be grossly disappointed in themselves. For God's sake, open your eyes 😑😖

I'm reading that he found an 810 2dr & is considering buying it..............?? That's a rare bird, but unfortunately that does not make it valuable............kinda like the 1974 260Z being a one year model, but it does not add value. That said, body parts, trim & interior are gonna be VERY hard to find parts, that are 2dr specific. My guess is that there were much more 4dr's produced. If the car has already been hacked up, I would suggest walking away, because in order to UN-hack it, would be difficult, cuz of lack of parts! As datzenmike mentions, it should have an L24 similar to the carbureted 240Z L24, but fuel injected in the 810. Keep in mind that that fuel injection system is old technology.........not much horsepower to be found! If it is a nice clean car & you want to modify it, I bet an L28 would swap right in (the 810 L24 oil pan & pick up tube would swap right over), then a set of the 240Z dual SU Hitachi carbs, or better yet, a set of triple Webers/Mikuni's would likely work nicely (carburetors do not require an electrical system to operate, like fuel injection) or one of the triple Jenvey throttle body set ups for the Z cars...........?? I highly doubt that you could find a tubular exhaust header to fit that chassis, but you can make one OR perhaps a Z car header would fit.......?? A MANUAL pedal set might be out there for the 810 chassis, but I bet you would be buying from another country. A 5 speed trans would bolt up to any of the L series engines, but you would either have to fabricate mounts etc or again, maybe buy parts that bolt in from another country..........?? I love restomod stuff on unique cars, so keep us updated! 😎

Yeah, I thought I had read that the truck downpipe was different! Curious what intake needed to be clearanced? What is the OEM casting # on top of the rear runner OR is it an aftermarket intake?

You have yourself a real unicorn. It's hard to find a 521 or a 620 truck glass.............the 510 & the Z car are still available in cheap Chinese repop. Even the aftermarket parts scene is low for the F10. As a career classic car parts guy, I can't imagine any manufacturer ever reproducing parts for that model. This a a great place to start, but good luck! It may be a long arduous journey for you.............🙄

Sorry, no. Anything in study or coming out of that piece of shits mouth is a lie. He is a big part of this "agenda", whatever it is.............😑

.........but it says "video"!! Ha, is the drawing/logo the same from WW2? As usual, a "new" meme created from old ideology!! 😆
