Tomakze Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 thanks alot dude! i appreciate everything your saying, thatll be cool to see a single cam roadster! the motor doesnt get enough credit! (my luck im gona get tired of it in the first week) lol! i wana see a video of that thing sideways!! (do it do it!) Once I finish my big brake swap, I will be uploading some more videos... Trouble is, the stock R16 is completely gutless, so sliding is hard with my big sticky tires! I would kill to see some videos of yours sideways though!!! That KA aught to make it easy as pie to kick up a ton of smoke. I wish mine was as far along as yours! Quote Link to comment

onefine,fivedime Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 bought a vw rabbit radiator (dont remember the year) it fits perfect in the rad. support decided to go a different route as far as mounting (idk why!? i think subconsciously i like to make shit difficult) the lower mount will be welded to the frame picked up this guy from speedway motors (minus the fitting) started to make my hoses template of lower hose (so much easier to get parts from autozone when u have a template!) went to buy the hose at autozone and i swear they mean well but dammit sometimes i cant stand them! the dude just wouldnt listen! autozone guy: what could i help you with? me: can i have a look at your radiator hoses cuz mine is for a custom application. autozone guy: yes sir but itll be easier if i just look up what you need me: your not gona have it im using different parts autozone guy: sir, trust me ill find it me: its for a datsun with a KA in it autozone guy: is a datsun like a nissan? me: *sigh*... yes.. but your not gona find the motor size autozone guy: see here it is right here, what size motor is it again? me: dude, its a 72 datsun 510, with a 89 240sx engine , and a 80 something vw rabbit radiator in it! autozone guy: ... let me take you to the back car places should have car people working there... anyways.. my first time making something that technical completely by myself! pretty happy with the outcome! 10" fan was the biggest i could fit, and so i opted to have the vents cuz at highway speeds itd be suffocated whew.... its starting to look like an engine bay! =) p/u 240sx throttle pedal and cable from the junkyard. mounted the cable and used the top half of the 240sx pedal and welded it to the 510 one, put a lil bend at the top and fit perfect! wasnt sure how i wanted the actual pedal then my coworker mentiond his bug and it had a wheel for a pedal. second i saw it i had to have it! and i wanted it to be a skateboard wheel! best part is i can put any wheel i want! had gotten this at eaglerock for $150! has a 300zx tt fuel pump!

Rotary510 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hey is there a way you can send me an actual template of the bracket you used on the steering box? I will pay for cardboard, yes! LOL. I will then have my uncle, who is a machnist, make it for me and I will bolt it on. I like the idead behind this. Let me know please. Quote Link to comment
onefine,fivedime Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 =) thanks alze and ludvig! appreciate it! and rotary ill pm you about that! Quote Link to comment
onefine,fivedime Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 found these at a cool ass junkyard in san berdoo, (one of those that the people who own it, live on it) and picked em up for $100 =) and they were in this! ... on top of this!! (had to climb the side of it and hold on for dear life while i tried to unbolt them) super excited to have picked them up! and since they were dual eyelets just had to fab somethin up fitted em with poly bushings and theyre ready to drop in! (didnt have a picture) gona have to do something about the springs before its running tho. car was a circle track racer so one is 610 lbs. and the other 475!! lol! i hope the setup works period! but for $150 total i figure its worth the risk ran my primary line (5/16th brake line) not too bad for have never bending before, but it was a biatch to do so! using 2 stock 240sx fuel filters in back: up front: didnt want it to run up to the core support so i bent the stock line and my new one to the inside of the frame rail and up the firewall , in my opinion WAY nicer! (just gotta make a holder so that return isnt floppin around) Quote Link to comment
onefine,fivedime Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 in few words.. WIRING my car SCARES ME.. idk why i just havent grasped how it works but thats where brent and ken come in! =) (not just that but with all kinds of stuff on it, no doubt these two will be the reason why its running when it is!) THANKS GUYS! them figuring it out this mess just looking at the harness gives me a headache.. i got rid of my heater core and am deciding to do something productive with that area, i made the front speaker panel and im going to mount the ECU behind it. like so (just not sure how yet) then i wana make hinged "doors" for it and mount the relays and fuse on them to keep the kick panels clear and stuff out of view. then over time build a center console to suit. i think itll look hella clean! kinda like this, but not sure if itll work right: this is a current project that i have yet to complete, any thoughts or ideas? picked up some 15x7s for the back! gona look so f'n sexy when their on started gettin to work cuz those lips need help thats pretty much current except for mounting the batt box. progress so far has been over a long period of time, ive gone through alot of changes during this time, some of which were getting married, moving, adjusting to more bills and married life. aquiring a great sized garage to get this thing done in. im happy! =D gona get more done this saturday, not sure what but hopefully itll be significant!

thatsoon72 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 damn thats a lot of work! driving a 510 how its supposed to be. like u stole it. and not afraid to chop things. a lot of 510 owners clean up their rides so much it defeats the purpose. heres some of my builds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccp_N7mlgzM&feature=fvsr http://www.cardomain.com/ride/678774/1972-datsun-510 Quote Link to comment

onefine,fivedime Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 thanks rusty and thatssoon! ill definately have a shit ton of vids when its running, and when i start it for the first time! =) cant wait! i like when a 510 is built super clean or restored but i cant do it like that (yet) but i like to live by "go hard or go home!" =) Quote Link to comment
onefine,fivedime Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 had an unexpected "work on the datsun" day 2day, pretty cool and productive just chilled out got stuff done while listening to music =) not much but its progress! 2 gauge welding cable ran my power to the front with the fuel line i need a optima and terminal ends and power is done! (ha ha! thats like 3/4 of the power) remade my console door templates and cut em out of 20 ga. (4got to take pics! dammit) gona get some small piano hinge to make them open and close and figure out a latching system finished drilling other hinge for the struts =) love em! gona run this high beam open w mesh like so, wanted to see it already! i love it! but anyone know where i could get the "domed" mesh screen? this one is flat and had and a emblem in that indent area Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 You really should run your power cable separate from the fuel line. Fuel and fire can make a bad situation for your dime IF something were to go wrong. Quote Link to comment

Fuel and fire can make a bad situation for your dime IF something were to go wrong. i do agree with you, my only problem was i didnt have much routing to work with. (altho i didnt look it up and see how everyone else runs theres) my problem with it is the vulnerable spot between the rear suspension and "frame rail" since im low im paranoid its gona rub both lines on driveways,speed bumps, etc. so im goin to make a skidplate/ cover for that area. my only other options on the routing would be to run it along the other side of the car ( which doesnt make make sense since the batt and starter are on the p/s) or have it run through the car (which didnt seem like the best option either) Quote Link to comment
NWOleman Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 get a speaker cover for your hedlight if you want a domed mesh. Quote Link to comment
