cjr198car Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ben, This is my dash. you mentioned wanting a stock dash and I thought these might give you an idea for a half aluminum half factory looking dash (best of both worlds). We saved the dash pad and glovebox... -Colton Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 That's a valdini motorsport build car. Alex and Adrian do some badass cars. I don't think you'll have to do any performance upgrades on it. One badass dime my friend.:D Quote Link to comment
Hyphy Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) on the gauges note... Ive been torn on which way i wanna go. I like how clean ur dash looks, but the 521 factory cluster is nice too, very simple. Also rather small. Looks like you have the autometer speedo with digital odometer, nice. If and when you decide to get rid of em, I might be interested in gettin them from you if I dont stick to the OEM cluster. By the way, is that a rear brake bias control i see at the bottom of the driver A pillar? Edited March 29, 2009 by Hyphy Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hey B ben, Here is a pic of your car on new years day 1-1-09 Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I met up with Ben today, it was nice to finally meet you Ben, after what is it now 2+ years since our initial Datsun 510 related contact? We met for lunch in Milpitas but of course lunch was had only after about an hour of looking over our cars and being interuppted at least 4-5 times by random people walking or driving around us asking us questions. I'm sure Ben didn't mind and if he did...he better get used to it :P. I warned him how ratsuners NEED pics so here they are, with a little video too: messsing with the images to look old... or more menacing :P And for you exhaust fans... Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I like the custom mini battery mount where the fuse box used to be. Can you post a close up of that? Quote Link to comment

71DIMER Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Looks to be a motorcycle battery. I like how it's small & slick mounting. http://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc680-battery.html Quote Link to comment
BoostinBen Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Yeah Its a Odyssety pc680 drycell battery They sell them for motorcycle and auto Heres a link to the specs on it from their website.. http://www.odysseybattery.com/autospecs.html They are great batteries I use them in all of my stuff ... It has no problems turning over the sr20 at all.. surprising for how small it is. Edited April 3, 2009 by BoostinBen Quote Link to comment

OrangeDime Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I like how your engine bay color looks =) Quote Link to comment
defdes Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just don't drain the Odessey battery, because once they are dead they can not be brought back to life and be counted upon. I had problems with mine in my race car, haven't gone back to them yet though I probably will... they only weigh about 9lbs. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I wish I had my 510 still. I would make a Billet tray and strap for one of those dry cel bats. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Dude I love that car!! MMMHHH SR20 :D I like that car, it's my style. The engine bay is the nicest, everything else comes second :D Ben I don't know if you plan on running wipers but if you do the wipers circuit is very easily removed from the stock dash and engine harness. The only wire that splices into the car harness is a ground and the blue with black stripe. I pulled a dash and engine harness apart because I wanted a test harness for working on intermittent wipers but I haven't really went back to it after pulling the two harnesses apart. What HP does the car have? I know a stock turbo with the boost turned up can be loads of fun in a dime. Quote Link to comment
