Phil's 510 2 door. The tranny 68


Recommended Posts

The car is looking good. Good job on keeping up with the progress.

 

One recommendation on the lower rad hose. I really don't like the universal hoses so I used a 240sx lower hose and trimmed both ends a bit and it fit perfectly for my KA swap. I know it's a little late but I thought I would throw that in there.

on the rabbit radiator I have a cut down ka hose. The lower outlet on the new rad I got is huge!. The cheesy chrome hose will work.

at speed i noticed my hood wobble. the rubber hood bumpers were gone!. i ordered some on ebay. in the description it stated the nos packaging will not be included but rather a nice gift. im thinking f it i dont need some old box. the gift is probably some sticker. i was totally surprised! look what showed up.

Looks good man! have you installed the rear window latches yet? I need a new set myself and would like to know if they are a direct replacement.

100% direct replacement. Its the oem part. I haven't installed them yet. I'm waiting on some parts. My car was completely missing all the latch parts. I would hurry and order them. Something like 20 left in the whole us according to nissan

 

 

Dang they get around.

I know they are whores. I'm tossing around the idea of 3000k hids. Just gotta modify the backing plate for clearance

lol. I went into your store looking for u bolts today and as i was leaving a guy asked me if that was my 510 outside i said yup its mine. and he replied are you looking for Phil? lol. thought that was funny.

I spotted you by the gas station where I first spotted you. Goon was loaded!

 

Man, even brett from norcal stopped by in his dime. 510s stop or drive by about once a month.

I just removed my eyebrows, hood trim and the seal around it was breaking apart. I am getting these parts recchromed and wondered how i would seal them back again. This is a perfect way to diy. nice work!

this is one project ive been looking forward to. i hunted parts for months. my car didnt come with anything that relates to the 1/4 window latches. got new latches, one nos bracket. one bracket from 78kingcab, and all stainless hardware. i had to clean the threads on the c pillars with a tap. i couldnt wait so i installed them on my lunch. i didnt even eat.
