draco101780 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 well she has her own posting on here but i guess ill keep it going lol Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I definitely did not know this. Thanks for the info. I didn't know until I traded parts. Turns out the first two years of production as well as the B210's all had a "D" so the '81 was very unique. I sill like the "D" look better though. Quote Link to comment
Drive510 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 @ metalmonkey47 Very informative and helpful. Thanks. Can you tell me anything about the racing heritage of the 210's in Japan (weren't they badged as the 310's)? Where they just modified A-series engines or were they using a different motor all together? Forgive me but I'm such a newb with Datsun's - however, the car in my profile photo is the exact same car that took me home from the hospital the second day I entered the world. I'm still in sponge mode about these awesome machines and learning so much. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 You gotta start learning somewhere right? lol Pretty cool to have that as the pic! As far as the JDM 210, they were badged the B310. If you look on the vin plate of a 210, it will read K(P?)B310. In some cases they were called the 140Y. From my understanding, there were 3 BRE 210's. Only one remains. I'll find pics in a few min. The drivetrain was usually a built A series with twin carbs, hefty cam, and a crazy ported head. I heard a few occasions where they used an L20B but I don't think that was with BRE cars. I'll do some more research later ;) Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 not sure how many of you may live in centeral texas but the san antonio pick n pull has three or four 210s and one b210 if anyone is interested. the b210 is picked over pretty well but a couple of the 210s are still mostly in tact. dont think they have that much longer Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 The things I would do for that Grille :blink: Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Too sweet man, looks so good with the grill and bumpers! i see another hiding in the back! yours? Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 i remember there was a guy from "kuwait" on ebay for the longest time selling grilles like that for 250. i must say seeing them on an actual car they look pretty slick. ive said it a hundred times, america really got screwed on the bumpers for most datsuns Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Here some of my favorite pictures. My Datsun Dog "BUSTER" trying to remember his password. I just remembered my password, BusterB210. Datsun DOGS, Roxie and Dan Next set of PIC's will have 14X6 RIMS on the back only, thinking about painting the PURE...RED/Maroon color. Thats all for now.

D@tsuks Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Picked this up for $500 runs like a champ but looks like... ehhhh, still thinkin if im keeping it. Quote Link to comment
Drive510 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just my own opinion but please don't take offense to this, <_< but I'm not really feelin hood scoop, rear diffuser grill, or the paint scheme. I can't say I've ever seen a "bosozoku" 210 before. Nice score though for $500. :) I'm sure you're at the crossroads to either work with it and give it a good home and pump some sweat and money into it, or sell it for what you paid for it(or more) to someone that needs some wheels.

metalmonkey47 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 That's a good looking body for $500. Gotta side with Drive510 though. Take em off, get some fender mirrors, maybe paint it? And you'll be awesome forever! Quote Link to comment
D@tsuks Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I certainly agree with you guys. Im going to strip all the shitty down grades they did to her and shoot dp 90 and throw some iron crosses I have layin around, but even then probably just get rid of it. Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hey here is my 1981 datsun 210 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Wow man, you need to replace some of that metal. lol Quote Link to comment
Drive510 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 A little rusty around the fender's. Good thing it's 2 door, I'm picturing fender flares. Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 yah eventually were gunna start cutting and replacing. and yesi got fender flares for it. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Picked this up for $500 runs like a champ but looks like... ehhhh, still thinkin if im keeping it. I like it, what year is it? Did they do anything to the inside? How about the engine? Quote Link to comment
D@tsuks Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I like it, what year is it? Did they do anything to the inside? How about the engine? Its a 78' , the motor is all stock, dogleg 5spd, Some a/c components are missing, as for the interior seats are nice, dash not so good, everything else really not so good. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 A new hood and a little paint and it would be pretty cool! Quote Link to comment

I see you are from CALI, does it smog? or is that why you got it for $500? It's in great shape for a '78. 1 Quote Link to comment
