510 Envy Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm posting this thought in a couple of the Datsun forums. Now I know this is a Datsun forum and not a Lexus/Toyota forum but I know ya'll can help. I have a SC300 with all the goods and making about 730 HP at high boost as my daily driver. I also have a 1972 240Z with a 383 stroker in it. Both cars run good but I find myself liking the old Z alot. Keep in mind I am married and have two kids. K... So I really want to build a couple of 510 or at least one sedan but I can't do it unless I sell the Lexus.(If I do sell the Lexus I'm going to build the sedan as the daily driver.) The thing I really like about the old Datsun is that they get smiles all over town and really are pretty cheap to build. Don't get me wrong, the Lexus is a monster and a very cool car. So what do ya'll think? Lexus or a couple Datsun 510 builds? Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Somebody gives you $50,000 to build a 510, what do you do? I would like to get your guys opinion on swapping a 2006 cobalt ss 2.0 supercharged motor into a 71 datsun 510 2 dr that i have. ...... I would like to hear your thoughts/opinions on this, here's what im thinking so far: I was just thinking what it would take to get a 510 to 1500lbs with motor and everything. Start out with a 2 dr, completely gut it with only race essentials, then do a complete carbon fiber body and lightweight aluminum wheels, and what would be the lightest engine we could throw in there that would make 300hp? :fu::fu::fu: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 sell the lexus build a ka or sr goon Quote Link to comment
BACARDI_DWB Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 sell the lexus! i had a newer fast fun car (400hp SRT-4), but it definately is not as rewarding as having a datsun. I never turned back after getting rid of the newer car as a project/daily. I am biased also cause I will never own another newer car because of smog. Datsun forever Quote Link to comment

510 Envy Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'll post some pics. tomorrow. I'm at work right now. The Lexus has the boost controler turned off and makes about 18 lbs. through a 73 mm turbo. Like that it makes about 500 but with race gas she dyno at 730 or so with 32 lbs. I'll post some pictures of both cars. Quote Link to comment
