pl521sss Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Has anyone put a 510 frontend on a 521??? If anyone has a datsun 510 core support I need one. How about you just put a 521 core support instead of a 510. Why would you want to do that anyway I have if your looking for one Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well the 510 frontend has a more agressive look I'm building a drift truck. I may put on a set of viper rims I have and roll the shit out of the fenders. How wide is the hood on a 510 is there a fsm online?? Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 They are EXTREMELY different under the skin despite how similar they look on the outside... you better do some more research. Maybe look at some build threads of both... Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ya i figured that but since I've seen some 521 trucks with 510 fenders Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ya i figured that but since I've seen some 521 trucks with 510 fenders Care to post a photo?? Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Right now I just have the frontend off but I will be pulling the bed and the cab to install 240sx suspension and tein coils. Will post some pics tomarrow Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Still have been lazy with the pics but have all of the stock suspension off, the bed off, and the welded 240sx diff mounted. May have a SR to drop in, and some 17x10" FN's should be fun lol. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) I like to see this!!!!!!!!If it actually happens I think it will look stupid but I want to see photos of progress. They used to have a Continental Kit for the VW bug also!!!!!!!!! Edited July 1, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
stilltwisted Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 x2 ,,and see those viper rim under it Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ya I wanted to run them so bad but I have the 10" Fn's and since I'm 4 lug for now and not 6 anymore It is likely to fit lol Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Is there a 510 fsm somewhere i have the 521 I need to compare the measurements. If anyone has a good 510 core support and 2 fenders for a good price I need some thanks Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Finally got the s14 black top swap for the truck $400 lol. Can't wait untill I get back from vacation to make it fit and wire it up. Need to make a gauge setup since manual spedo would not work it may but I think I will be able to go over 80mph lol.:eek: Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 This seems to always come up from time to time. The general consensus is that it's WAAYY to much work to put a 510 grill on a 521. I've owned both, at the same time, and could compare them side by side. They are TOTALLY different. Plus, seems to me it would be a waste of time, since they already look so similar. Way to much work for almost no gain. Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Ya IDK how I'm going to do the frontend but right now I'm more worried about fabbing the suspension and the drivetrain/engine in. Plus I'm not to shure if I'm going to keep the factory core support singe mine is crased I'm trying to figure out how to fit the intercooler I'm using into a small space while not having overheating issues standing still. I'm thinking I may mount the intercooler in the center and run slanted radiators with ducting on both sides of the intercooler. Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) How's about we see some pictures boss? How the hell does one obtain an S14 SR for $400? You got any links to 521 pics that have 510 fenders? I've never seen one. Where are you located? I got a friend that has a 510 front clip for sale. -Brian Edited July 12, 2009 by 808DA6 Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nope never have seen a 521 with 510 front I know they are different. You get s14 sr swap from dsm fags that dont know what it is lmao Quote Link to comment
Bugeye Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 . You get s14 sr swap from dsm fags that dont know what it is lmao wow, just wow It amazes me how grown up we are Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ya I like Nissan's since no matter how good you build the drivetrain on a dsm it lasts about a long as a rotary :lol: all just in fun the kid I got the swap was supper cool. Quote Link to comment
Nismo Silvia Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The truck is almost stripped to the frame and I tore down the sr today to do new bearings, rings, gaskets, hg, arp head studs, and stripped the valve cover and the intake mani to powder coat them green. Can kind of see the Evo8 intercooler just need to trim the back of the headlight buckets to get it to mount flush Quote Link to comment
