JK510

Great thread, with some great information here. I too will be looking at 3 point belts as I go through my rebuild and will be using the advice offered here to Martin. Martin, let me know if you buy the belts recommended or if you find a UK supplier of similar. I'd be interested to know how you get on. Cheers, JK

Thanks chaps. the o’reilly website appears down, but summit have a few. What’s Z22 Mike..? Thanks again JK

I'm just about to start the resto of my 510 and one of the things planned is moving battery and fule pump to rear of the car. I want a fule pump block off plate but the only one I can find to buy is the one at California Datsun (link below). https://www.californiadatsun.com/engine-accessories/fuel-pump-block-plate-for-l16-l18-l20b.html I've heard various reports about them from the UK so just wondered if you guys had an opinion and if you'd recommend the product or can point me in the direction of a good supplier of similar. In the scheme of things it's not a lot of money to buy one, but I do like to buy once and buy right if I am buying at all 🙂 Thanks, JK

Great, thank you...!

Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but where are the kits for $265..? I can only see ones for $995 upwards and requiring cores, I'm UK based so this is no option for me..! TIA

Any chance of a photo of it fitted...?

Hi, Does anyone have any experience of these, Is it a good product? My carbs are Weber 40’s which have no heat shield currently and I am not too comfortable with that, thanks. https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/510/heat-shield-510-running-mikuni-solex-webber-or-delorto-carbs cheers, JK

Yeah they are quite corroded under the lenses, the gaskets have perished away almost completely. I think they will need to be replaced...

You bought it then...I nearly did but wanted to see what else he has first to combine postage... now it’s sold 😎

Thanks for that, can I also ask what the switch to the left of the ashtray does too, mine just has a hole here too..?

Probably a job further down the line, but I'd like to get the light above the radio working again at some point so if you've a picture I'd be grateful. I'm sure I can locate a similar sort of knob hers somewhere. Cheers, JK

Hi Guys, I've recently stripped down the front end of my car to essentially polish up the chrome work and tint a couple of the headlamps. After doing so and putting it back together the lights are puzzling me and just wondered if you could offer some advice. Now I never fully checked them before I started, so there may have been an issue before hand, but the indicator certainly worked correctly and that is very confusing, I'll get to that bit later..! So, when I pull the headlamp switch on I get nothing unless I push the indicator stalk forwards to what I presume is the high beam setting, then I get the lights as the image below... Drivers side headlamps : White lens quite dim, Yellow lens nothing. Passenger side : Yellow lens very dim, White lens full beam. And the indicator is now flashing in the white parking light lens rather than the orange lens...how did that happen..? Oh, and lastly how do you turn the parking lights off..? The drivers side seems to be on permanantly. You've probably gathered electrics aren't my forte 😄 Cheers, JK

Ah, OK I see the symbol for a light now next to this switch/plug...so above my radio hole is a transparent plastic rectangle, is this where a dash light would illuminate..? And if so what does the switch that turns this on look like...? Cheers, JK

Interested too as mine only has one knob...

Thanks Mike, I’m not doing the seats though just all the dashboard, glove box, radio surround, etc. cheers, JK

Thanks guys, I googled the SEM product but no luck in the UK, however the search did bring up this stuff https://www.vinyldye.co.uk/ So I've ordered a can and will see how it goes.... I'll let you know if it's any good 🙂

Hi Guys, Following on from my earlier dash thread, you may have noticed I have a large hole where the radio might normally be. I have an old Datsun radio (see below image) that I want to fit however it is missing the bezel that fits around the dials and wondered if anyone out there might have such a thing that they would like to part with. Let me know, thanks. JK

Hi Guys, While this lockdown continues, I'm looking at doing some of the jobs I planned for later on and one of them is stripping out the dash and re-colouring as, the photo below almost shows, its looking a bit weary and needs refreshing. Have you guys used any particular products for repainting the trim that you can share with me, preferably from online suppliers that are available in or UK based, thanks.

So mine has arrived from SA...runs well, interior a bit shabby but overall I'm really pleased with it 🙂 are most banks open today

Which..? The Amco ones...let me know if you do, I'm interested, thanks.

That looks quite similar to a 260Z console, I wonder if they can be made to fit...? This was my old Z interior

Hi Guys, I've seen lots of pictures of 510 interiors, many with and as many without centre consoles. Is it a difficult item to locate, does anyone make aftermarket centre consoles and do any other datsun models (S30 for example) have a centre console that can be adapted to fit..? What have you guys all done? 1st pic below is the sort of image I've seen around (taken from another thread on this site) the second image is the interior of my car due soon with no console, thanks.

Hi Martin, 350Z UK, you'll have known Martin Macdonald then I'd imagine...? He lived not far from me and we did a few events together up here when I had my S30..!! My car (and Ronnies) ship on Friday and should land on the 14th of March, so hopefully cleared and registered by early April, just in time for summer. Radiator looks really good too by the way...👍 Cheers, JK

Thanks Carterb, So who should I use to buy through yahoojp, is there a recommended proxy bidder..? Cheers, JK
