My 210 has none of those. is it lame? Yesh, they are rather ugly, but still very un-common cars, therefor I will help with this bad boy!

lol you're not likely to find anyone with one of those. Assuming you're talking of the style I'm thinking of. You're better off to do what Skib mentioned. Try calling around body shops though?

Alright here we go... This is a project my friend has had for a few years. It's an old '83 Mustang. Heres the catch: It's a GT. No JUST a GT but a GT turbo with a 2.3L L4 and a blow through turbo setup. The thing is, in '83 only 604 of these cars were ever produced, and actually sold for 3000 more then the 5.0L. This car has been sitting for about 11 years. It has a new battery and turns over fine which is good. It doesn't run. It's got fords EEC-IV EFI system with a blow through turbo. Forged aluminum pistons, alloy valves, and lightweight flywheel. Since he's a total car noob and doesn't actually know much as far as troubleshooting, me and him are going to work on it. It's basically going to get a somewhat complex restoration. The plan is to get it running ASAP however, it will be getting much more then that eventually. It's going to be a very slow build since it's winter and it's a busy one at that. Progress will be slow but sure. My old school love is screaming at me to make this one a good one. :goodjob: Enjoy the photos.

Pick up some old bike carbs and open up the jets ;) Weld up a new manifold and you're done.

WOW! Very clean man. Welcome to Ratsun. These cars are very great cars to own when well maintained. Take care of it and it will take care of you ;) You will fall in love with this car the more you work on it. It's a very great car to own and you'll love how easy it is to work on.

Cool beans! I'm guessing it's electric with a brushless motor? I almost bought one of these.

Go to Nissan. I got my A-series head bolts for about $53.

Start with this. Use a bright colored marker/paint to mark the timing mark on the harmonic balancer to make it easier to see. Let the engine idle until warm and loosen your distributor hold down to adjust your timing at idle to the factory specs. Turn off the engine, pull the distributor cap, and get a short piece of CLEAN vacuum line to put on the vac advance and suck to watch for it to move. If it doesn't, it's either stuck or the diaphragm is leaking. Do whatever datzenmike tells you to do after this

LOL filming. no joke.

I was actually going to make a thread on the one wire conversion but I guess I got beat to it. You know Jegs makes a 1 wire alternator with an 880 RPM cut-in that produces 14.5 volts after cutting in until the engine has come to a complete stop? I was just looking at ordering one and playing with a conversion since my alternator circuit has a strange drain I cannot find. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/10126/10002/-1

I use the Eagle One mag cleaner ;) Works wonders for me. Nice right up by the way!!

unplug your alternator signal wire and try again. That will tell you if it's a problem ;)

good price

whats wrong with vee dubs as long as their old school? My friend drives an old VW beetle rat rod thats stretched and slammed with a Porsche motor in it. Something wrong with that?

LOL I know. Totally fucked my video up. They run a repair shop out of their house.

I did it again. You can hear the problem a little better now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbhbnM2it3E

Welcome dude! Sell the S2000 and get a 510! Datsun>Honda anyday!

My GF is my cupholder

Hey now, I'm only 19 :P It's just a matter of jumping into Datsuns at a young age. Datsun'ers are just more mature.
