Gensaiken Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 hmm, thread always seems to get necromanced. Car is still for sale. I get a lot of messages but most people just don't pan out. Going to take some updated photos of it now so they are pretty current. Link to comment

Gensaiken Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 If you still have car, please bring to canby, would love to see. were you planning on going to the show this year?? Ty Don't think i'll be making it up to canby with the car. Anyways, what most folks would like to see. Some updated photos. Kind of slow on the responses and posting right now as I'm kind of in the middle of moving things around. So patience. :thumbup: Alright, so let me clear up some frequent questions and whats going on with the car. Mechanically the car is great, likely needs a bit of a tune up, fresh oil, carbs tuned and to be driven. It could use some new tires, the current ones I believe are over 10 years old. This car hasn't been driven on a road in roughly two years. Why? Nothing is wrong with it, totally drivable but it lives a ways away from my home so it isn't easy to just hop in it and drive it around. I feel bad letting it sit but i'm just not in the Datsun mood these days. Almost hesitant to let it go even though I feel bad letting it sit and go to waste. So, will it make the trip to where ever you live? Based on that it has sat with little movement other than driving around a yard, I don't think so. I'd advise it being hauled or transported. Being that it hasn't been garaged for a bit over a year and lives with a cover on a few spots have been weathered, mainly the engine bay which is very dirty. Other wise there are cob webs and other small things that just need some cleaning. Back seat materal has started to fade (damn cheap material). Other wise the interior survived very well and oher areas Link to comment

ephinoob Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Gensaiken: Still have the drain? One of my dimes had a similar-sounding problem (bout 1980?). Used to diconnect the battery by unplugging red solenoid wire in the engine bay next to the starter (pain in the ass, but better than battery cable). Then one cold morning, noticed rear defrost had melted lines on rear glass, even tho not "on". Disconnected defrost @ glass, never drained again. Worth checkin out, perhaps.Anyway, beautiful ride, glws. Paul. NOOB, not "new" Link to comment
RacnJsn95 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Didn't the rear defrost only come on 73s? Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Didn't the rear defrost only come on 73s? Yes, it was only available on the last year of the 510. I don't have rear defrost. It is pretty easy to just disconnect the battery if I know its going to sit for more than a day or two. If I ripped out some of the electronics I had installed it would likely get rid of the drain (stereo and alarm). Link to comment
qwik510 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Canadian 510s got rear defrost in 72 and 73. Link to comment
loungin112 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 What are the odds that someone digs up a FS post from years back and the guy actually has the car still and DOES want to sell still?!? :blink: Link to comment
izzo Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I had a 73 scamp. It had a blower in the speaker panel mounted in the trunk for a rear defrost. Might be a cool option, and more available. Link to comment
only in a datsun Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I wanted this car then and still want this car. This would round out my Datsun cars. I have a z car, a 67.5 Roadster and this is the last of the Datsun that I want. Bad timing, just bought a Porsche 944 Turbo. Can I make payments please? Is the price still the same? Link to comment
