tnip Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 EDIT: this is a LADA not a 510, thanks kiznook for helping us figure it out obviously this is not mine, saw it on ebaums and thought i'd share. crazy mods in and out, plus a li'l ol' RB26DETT. for more pics go here: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/31044/ Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 that thing is fawking ugly!!! I like that it says "Super Charged" kekeke yep, uglier than the blue/white v8 box flare car...thats sayin something. This car diserves a trophy, or a flaming bag of poo Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 well imo, change the headlights back to normal and try and do something to protect that big ass ic and it might not be as ugly as it is. haha. it's pretty sick that they crammed that engine in there tho. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm not convinced it's a 510 under all that. Skyline engine, yes. Window lines look wrong. And yes, it's fugly. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think he windsheild (windscreen for you canadians?) angle is wrong. Looks like it's a much more dramatic angle, probably to make the lambo door conversion easier. why not gull wing? no saving it...ever! Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 good point. it might not be a 510. at my first glance i thought it was a lada i didn't recognize or something that i def wouldnt' recognize like a renault or something. but with the nissan engine and those box flares coming up to the body line like that i just assumed it was a 510. i could be wrong. also: where the fuel filler is. p.s.: upon closer inspection of a few of these pictures i also don't know why they say it's russian, or why i assumed they were right, they were so obviously wrong about the boost system. all the signs in the background are in english. idk. it's weird tho. :D and did you guys notice the celica with the rising sun in the background of the one shot?

kiznook Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 510 with the rain gutters shaved? I think theyre might have been a mild chop to the roof? body line on the doors is portrudes too much. way too much work went into it. ALSO not in the US, look at the ruck in the background, and guessing by the climate, not Japan or near Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 no when i said english i just meant maybe it's in england. this thing is def not in the us. and like i said, maybe i was a lil too quick to call it a 510, hell it could've started life as a full size dodge ram... you never know what people have done. HAHA ok maybe that's a little bit of a stretch. i really would like to know more about this thing. like you said, alot of work went into it, whether or not it's ugly is beside the point to me. crazy mods and interesting engineering and design stuff always gets me wanting to know more.

kiznook Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 HAHA! fuckers! http://www.engineswapdepot.com/?p=65 you were right...LADA! Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 damn .. howd you manage that? haha i love the "1khp" its like it could have one kila-horse power... haha and the only reason i guessed lada is cause it said russian and it resembled a 510, i thought, hmm, could be a lada. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I knew it wasn't a 510 from the roof line, but that could have been modified. The giveaway was the strut towers/inner fenders and the core support. Who would adapt different stock oem towers? then I searched russian rb26dett lada or something like that Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 The wiper arm locations indicate it is a left hand drive car. Probably not from the UK. What reasoning does the article give for it being Russian? any evidence of that? Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 so the Lada was only available in Russia? Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 LADAs were built in Russia, and ones of that vintage were Soviet so you'd see 'em all over the Soviet Bloc (East Germany, Hungary, Czeckoslovakia, etc). Russian vehicles are LHD. I've ridden in a Soviet truck (in Egypt!). It does look like a LADA. LADA clones were built all over behind the Iron Curtain, and were actually superior to the East German Trabant. That isn't saying much. Both have major cult followings nowadays, but when the Iron Curtain fell folks couldn't abandon them fast enough. http://www.ladausa.net/ Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 IMO... thats one of the ugliest peices of metal i've ever seen.. cool engine tho Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Not to rain on his parade, but that is actually a twin turboed RB25. Check the valve covers and the intake. (modded) Mine actually has an RB26dett... Hehehe I like the car though. Reminds me of Road Warrior or something. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I think the black on black looks awesome on it! So you got the engine in? You have to start a project thread :D We wanted to swing by your place on saturday, by the time I finished my mini tubs it was pouring bad! Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I got the engine in and new chassis built, but that will be a different thread won't it... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Dude you really need to post now! I want to see it bad. Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I don't have any pics on this computer. I need to get pics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

DOM Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I don't have any pics on this computer. I need to get pics tomorrow. Do you have a JDM engine shop up in Monroe in the industrial area west of town?? I think I seen your car about a year ago with a SR in it. Tube framed with a 300zx rear suspension yada yada yada. That thing looks like fun to drive. We spoke a little bit about dimes. I was looking at SR motors at the time fro my 510. Post some pics....either way. Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hey all. How about closing this thread and adding new info to the "510 getting nasty RB" thread? Just a thought.... http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=1468 Quote Link to comment
