810!

I'm kinda ok with the huge bumpers since the gas tanks in the trunk and I heard they used to explode on impacts back in the day

[Z-train]

I doubt there to many options for better looking bumpers out there for us sadly.

Shoe box Novas & early Chevelles.Cut the center out,slice to fit and chrome them.

In-correct.

That's a good idea on the bumpers Z-Train I'll look into that.

[nismosilvia]

I don't want to get my hopes up too soon but the local jy just got in 4 old corvairs and I did a quick visual and measurement and the bumpers just may work. Im going to pull a set tomorrow if they will allow a return if they won't work and see if I'm full of it or not.

If you wagon guys need any wagon specific model parts get ahold of me soon. Parts car is getting close to the end

[ArchetypeDatsun]

Wish I could man I am really low on funds gotta save up for bills I owe.

[Z-train]

nismo-your box is full.

Just put a cd player in the stock radio spot. I didn't cut up my maroon dash instead went with the black one from the parts car since someone already cut a hole for a tape player. I don't think I've ever cursed doing a project more than this one. It would be nice to have a modern radio without cd player. Aux and usb make it smaller for old cars.

There is a really nice Sony stereo that I looked at a audio shop with my cousin, it was a non cd deck with only aux & usb. Not a huge Sony audio anything but that stereo is an exception if I find a pic or link to I'll post it. Does any of your 810's have the secondary deck where the shifter is?

 

For me I want to keep the original stereo since it works but I need to fix the power antenna and see if the speakers work. I wanna add something that will also do aux & usb but I want it to be small.

Yaa my sedan had the tape player in the consle I removed it though. I tried to first mount the cd player under the parcel tray but there's just no room. So that's why I went for the black cluster. My only gripe is I recovered the dash pad in red like factory so the two colors kinda clash now. If it bothers me more down the road ill go back to red

Online company I bough a trunk lid sent me something that isn't even close to right. Literally off by a mile, must be a maximal trunk not even close. I'm beyond livid right now. I will be on them tomorrow. Needless to say I will be on them tomorrow. This would never happen if I just bough a z fml.

[ArchetypeDatsun]

Nah man, 810's are hard to find parts but they are the rarer Datsun that's what makes them cool to me. I always have someone tell me stories of them and how they haven't seen one in years.

 

If you had a Z that would be awesome the parts are literally super easy to find since there everywhere.

 

I would never trust a company that sells suppose parts for cars like Datsun 810's it's hard to find anything for them. I know of one site but they sell simple stuff for 810's like light assembly, dash covers and other misc. I'm thinking of buying the wipers when I pay some bills and get extra funds.

Yaa I'm about to learn that the hard way it seems. They assured me it was the right one. It's one from a datsun maximal I can tell. Supposibley they are trying to make it right ill be contacting the bank I use regardless.

[Z-train]

I suppose you don't want to hear that i scrapped an entire 79 coupe last year.......do you?

[ArchetypeDatsun]

^NO! Don't buy anymore 810's

[nismosilvia]

No not rly. But z train buy just one more dessert 810 and sell my the trunk lid. Thx

[Z-train]

Since the last wagon I bought,i haven't seen ANY for sale around here.

[ArchetypeDatsun]

You probably got the most 810's in your area, no one where I live has one well at least that I haven't seen the whole time I lived here.

 

nismo I'm keeping an eye out for here on the northwest hopefully someone has that trunk.

Do you guys know what the maximum tire size can be put on the 810 wagon with original steel wheels? I want to go with as wide as can fit in the back with 185/70r14 up front. A little taller is OK, within reason.

[Z-train]

I'm runnin' 195-75-14s.

[tablebeast]

Is 225/60r14 on stock steelies too big for the rears?

[Z-train]

Can't personally say,but remember the steelies are 6 inches.The problem is PROBABLY going to be rubbing on the fender/trim lip.

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I'm running 185/65/14 in the front and 195/60/14 in the back and mine is lowered so I can't tell you how much bigger you can go.

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I heard the 810 goon that was for sale in south dakota on CL sold to a young guy his dad owns a tire shop hopefully he joins us here.

 

Have any you guys seen anymore 810's for sale I seen one in L.A. area burgundy faded paint cob webs selling for over $4k kinda insane prices now lol.
