That's the same car zetozeto99 fixed up and sold to xlr8r now its up in Utah has a round headlight conversion now. If you look back from the first page and look threw some pictures you'll see its progress from back then. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I wasn't able to find very good pictures. Mostly wasn't able to tell the difference between the stock and aftermarket set ups. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Dude this is the 1st result. 3rd pic is a diagram, 4th is one on the car come on now... Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Maybe "L28et oil cooler" wasn't the right thing to search? Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes it did, type 280zx oil cooler in google pics and you'll see a ton of them. I'm just breaking your balls but ya try what I advised you'll have all the pics you need. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well, thanks for the picture all the same. haha. I want to add an oil cooler to my 810, but I'm pretty broke (and really shouldn't spend the money I do have, at the present moment). That cooler is pretty bulky. I have a Volvo oil cooler and lines from a 240 that I'm thinking would work well with that sandwich plate. Maybe even the RX7 cooler I have with the Volvo lines (a lot of guys with Volvo 240s use the Rx7 cooler as an upgrade). The volvo cooler is long and skinny, and I think would fit between my grille and rad. So maybe I can find a sandwich plate for not too much and make something myself. Last summer I did a lot of long distance driving in the 810. Things got pretty hot under the collar. It was about 100 out on my second trip across the state. I could feel the heat through the firewall and trans tunnel, I mean to the point where it was burning the side of my foot some. The old gril never overheated, but felt damn sure close to it when I arrived in Raleigh. I'm sure I should do something about my rad. I flushed it about 15 or so times when I got the car, lots of crap and never got the water quite past swap murk. I don't think any plastic replacement (if I can even get one for the 810) with be as good of quality as this old brass beast. I want to get it cleaned and coated when I have the $$.

bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Also, I have a 1979 Datsun 810 factory service manual that I will offer for free to one of y'all (Well, "free-ish." You pay shipping). Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 That's the same car zetozeto99 fixed up and sold to xlr8r now its up in Utah has a round headlight conversion now. If you look back from the first page and look threw some pictures you'll see its progress from back then. I saw this earlier today & figured it looked familiar, but the pinstripes threw me off. It has the same ripple in the front bumper & small dent in the hood though, so it must be the same goon. Here's a couple photos of her. I've converted to rounds with HID's, put a 5spd in, and a few other things since I picked it up. 1 Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hate the headlights, love the plaid and cheesy 70s steering wheel. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 They're prototypes. The plan has been to replace them with 'classic' style HID's when Dapper Lighting develops them. They do work great though. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 They just look really out of place to me, you know? Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Because they pop out too much? Once the classics come out I'm sure they will look a lot better because they will have the original look to them but with a projector inside. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Because it's a 30 year old car and they look like cyborg eyes on Issac Asimov's robodatsun. Quote Link to comment

Lol, the lights help a lot at night i would know because i have HID lights on my Z with H4 bulbs before i could not see anything at night but those prototypes i think look better on a Z because it hides the headlight a little especially with headlight covers.

bloodontheapex Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 The bulbs in my car are older than I am. I drive with the brights on always. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 The guy I traded my Datsun to sent some lucky Rockauto employee's son to college. So much work to do. Quote Link to comment

nismosilvia Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Lxr8r your wagon sweet man. I'm loving it. I got a slim to the roofline rack of an 80s corolla wagon at the pnp it would look killer on yours. What ellipsoids are you running and did you use the same wiring relay setup as the 510?

xlr8r Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've considered adding a roof rack, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger on it yet. I like the look of a clean roofline, though racks are pimp'n. The headlights are a 'modern' style prototype BiXenon made by Dapper Lighting. They haven't proven popular (they stick out way too much for certain cars, the bezels on the 810 are deep enough that they don't look too bad), so from what I understand Dapper is working on a 'classic' set to look more like a standard headlight & not stick out as much.

ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Did he run out of his classics I don't recall too well but I remember reading somewhere he was gonna redesign them because of clearance issue? A few members on hybridZ made there own retro fitting a projector in there headlights for there 280zx. Quote Link to comment
