Hawaiian620 Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Had the 210 on a lift, so I took some pictures. Does anyone have a set of good oem tail lights for a 210 sedan or know where to get some? The ebay specials are terrible. 3 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Only taillights you’ll be able to get are either from a car in the junkyard or the repros on ebay. I have the repros on my 210. Socket is backward so you’ll have to fix that but they are nice. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hawaiian620 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 The ones I got off ebay are already separating between the orange and red lense. They are also a lot lighter than the oem ones. Do you remember the sellers name in ebay? Maybe they have the better ones. Quote Link to comment

He is now for the last 10 years when I started my resto. For the 20 years before that he wasn't and the taillights were fine, miraculously. What had happened was one of the sockets in the left taillight kept rusting out. It just kept doing it so I bought those after market ones to replace them and they were pretty but there was nothing wrong with mine except for the freaking socket. I was always careful about getting water around there even when I washed him (hand wash) and the darn thing would rust out anyway. Had me baffled. Still has me baffled. Quote Link to comment
Hawaiian620 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 210 reached 47k miles. One step closer to the big 50! Quote Link to comment

I’m just revisiting this thread and realized I completely missed your question. I believe the seller was Atom Boys. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hawaiian620 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Drove the Datsun to Westport. I'm still unsure what the noise is, but it drove there and back just fine. 4 Quote Link to comment

(Im new at this so give me a break🙂) 2 Quote Link to comment

While that would be super cool, with even half-assed maintenance the stock engine will also run forever. 😁 Edited September 11, 2021 by datsunfreak Quote Link to comment

Those are always leaking on these. They seem to only last about 20 years without leaking. 😁 It could probably use a rocker adjustment as well. Since yours is a '78 it should already have electronic ignition, so that and some fresh plugs/wires/cap/rotor should have you right as rain. 👍 Edited September 13, 2021 by datsunfreak Quote Link to comment

They also have Standard Motor caps and rotors (best version due to brass contacts instead of cheap pot metal). 👍 2 Quote Link to comment
