ggzilla Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yes, the all are Gas, except Nissan and certain KONI (and perhaps NOS if you can find some). Most aftermarket brands go with one-size fits all approach. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for all of your comments on this, I'm working on acquiring another '78 for parts. Really hoping to pick it up within the next 10 days. No title, so I'll be stripping it, it's a fastback so the rear springs are different, but almost everything else I need looks to be there. This way I can cut the front springs and rebuild the struts on the parts car and not have the driver down waiting my slow butt. Plus if I screw it up, I'll have a set of stock stuff to put back in. I pulled the fascia off the heater controls today and lubed and freed up the Off/Vent/Heat/Defrost mechanisms. The handle is broken off, so it was set in the Vent position all the time. Scared myself silly last night trying to drive it home in the damp and fog with just cold air blowing on my legs. Got a little crazy and spent money I shouldn't have and picked up this: It's not perfect, it does have one small 'dent'. Looks like someone poked it with a pen. The discoloration you see is just moisture, it was out in the car. The guy had it on CL for $40. It belonged to a friend of his who had a B210 15 years ago, and recently moved. It was up on a shelf in his garage, and he didn't want to move it. The guy I bought it from doesn't own a Datsun or any other parts. What are the chances that he was about 4 blocks from my grandad's place? Needless to say, I'm really stoked about it. Anyone want to buy it for $200? :lol: It will go in my car eventually...I think... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Crazy! Well $40 is a fair price. Not too crazy. Got the Datsun B fever it never goes away. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Planning to pick up a '78 B210 parts car in the next couple of days. U-Haul's calculator for the tow rig setup says that I'm supposed to disconnect the driveshaft on the 210. The only listing is for a '1978 Nissan 210', no B210 option. Do I need to pull the driveshaft? It will be a standard tow dolly, front wheels up. About 150 mile trip one way. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 There was no 1978 210 ... it was 1979-1982 model years. Can you put it on the two rig backwards, after locking the steering wheel with the key? If it's an auto don't pull it on the rear wheels without pulling the driveshaft. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 ggzilla, I was pretty sure the Uhaul thing was hinky. You answered my question though. :) Turns out this is going to have to wait. The wife did say I could bring it home if I had it stripped and sawzalled, and to the recylcer in 24 hrs. Anyone up for a pulling party? Quote Link to comment
ctmandu Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 looking good... let me know when you can make it up this was and we will look at making the fiberglass reproduction parts you want...like i said i still have some BRE parts to make molds of and the Z flares... may have an air dam that will work for you also ....

nukeday Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm bummed, but the B210 just sold. I sold my Saab 900 last week. My new daily driver is an F-150. bleah. Is there any interest in fiberglass dash pads for the B210? ctmandu manufactures some really quality stuff in Salem, OR and thinks he can reproduce these. The one I have is SO nice, I'd like to share the wealth and see if it can be used to make several more. I think ctmandu has a website, but if you'd like to look over some of the items he's currently producing check this thread out. Found his website here. Should I start a poll on this?

nukeday Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 The guy who bought my B210 gave it to his son. Apparently someone broke out the driver's side window. If anyone has one, please contact them here: http://eugene.craigslist.org/pts/1706627581.html Terry (the dad) can be reached at (541) 228-6762 Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I might be interested in a dash pad? PM me the details Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've got a buyer for it, sorry. Doesn't look like the repop idea is going anywhere. Quote Link to comment
