Here is the in car view of my 510 VG33 wagon at Pacific Raceways I hope. 🙂

Here's a short video that I can post here. Not sure how to get you to the other bigger files on youtube. piknik pacific raceways.mp4

I think the VG33 looks right at home in the 510. With a Holley carb and no electronic stuff it looks great. Most of the people who have looked at this at car shows have really liked it. I used most of the conversion parts from Experimental Engineering (Dave Carroll) so the swap was almost a bolt in operation. I don't do fabrication. 😞 I don't think Dave is making his kits anymore, so you would need to find someone who has a kit or pieces that they are not planning to use for you to buy. The manifold is pretty slick. More unobtainium is the distributor which is from a Datsun Saudi truck. Other HEI dists are available but the Nissan one is so much nicer. 🙂 The motor was imported from Japan by a company in Lynnwood so we don't know what it came out of. All the parts that I have ordered for Pathfinder VG33 have worked fine. I drive the car as my daily driver and i love the V6 - no turbo lag, just a smooth 180HP. It is also fun on the track. Here's a link to my youtube channel with some videos. https://studio.youtube.com/video/-ZKgTUdQorw/edit Love this car!

the Z31 transmission: FS5W71C is the strongest 5-speed that I know of the series. I have one in my VG33 510 wagon. It's very long. 🙂

Nice mats, but wish I could afford them, now about $250 for just two front mats.

Nice Car !! I have a '72 510 wagon also. It's an un-restored original body with Vg33 carbed engine. Holley Street Avenger 2bbl carb - low pressure 4-7 psi, but also noisy Carter Universal Rotary Vane Electric Fuel Pump (rubber grommets between pump and bracket). Pictures below. Let us know if you find a super quiet pump.

Thanks Guys, I just got the replacement 1157 amber LED bulbs and plugged them in. 4.7w instead of 8w but much brighter. I already put in the Novita EL12 since my flasher was bad when I got the car. Rear lights are next. 🙂 Cheers, M

Has anyone done this on their 510 and how did it work out? Any problems, any suggestions for product to use.

I'll plan on it !! I have the whole winter to work on the car again. Thanks for a great #6

Wow, Had a great time at the show. Did not even have time to get canopy set up before we had a group of interested people... Lots of really nice cars, some I had not seen before and again there were Canadians to meet. Finally had a chance to relax... Looking forward to next year - big thanks to Kimber and Mark!

I will be arriving a few minutes after 12noon The ferry schedule is off due to low tides. Last year was great - looking forward to seeing more cars this year. I have a few new things to show on my '72 510 VG33 wagon. See ya tomorrow! 🙂

Great looking wheels, can you PM me with details about brand, size, etc. I am looking for 15" wheels to mount tires for track events. Thanks, Michael

See you all at Powerland.

New stuff done since my last Powerland - stop by and get an in-person look in two weeks at the show. Electric fuel pump replacement, Futofab rear sway bar, differential brace, fuel pressure gauge.
