king bee66 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 600 per bumper is outrageous. Who's telling you they are so much, so I can avoid talking to them Quote
Kirden Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 From what I have seen they are between 400 and 600 a bumper. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot... Quote
datsunfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot... I'd say so... :rofl: Mine were roughly $250 each shipped, one from Japan, one from Australia. Heck, I've seen NEW front bumpers for less than $300 shipped. Quote
Kirden Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 Dem shinanigans... Good thing I didn't fork over my money :P And to get the thread back on topic: 2 Quote
SirSmithy Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 New here. Just pulled my 210 out of the barn yesterday. The sun was setting so i snapped a few shots with my phone. I've got one cracked rear side marker, so I'm thinking about just 'shaving' them off. 1 Quote

Kirden Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Welcome SirSmithy! Glad to see someone else in Macon has some taste :P Good looking 210 you have there. Quote
SirSmithy Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Snagged those side markers from you colourbox. Thanks again! Quote
B210GX Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Just to bad we didnt get those here in the states....I'd a been rockin the wagon back in the day Quote
Kirden Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 That wagon looks great. Are those work equips? Look similar to the ones up for sale in the classifieds. Quote
Tristin Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 That wagon looks great. Are those work equips? Look similar to the ones up for sale in the classifieds. Yep, same wheels. Quote
Pumpkn210 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Beat it till it quit on my buddys back field lawn mower track... Then I ran it into the tall grass for safe keeping... Quote

_k_i_d_ Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Inspiration when I get mine someday. :) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote
king bee66 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 the wheels look ridiculous with those flares Quote
j_boy_619 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 it reminds me of shamu.... looks sick none the less though! Quote
Chincwatson Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Hey all, I will soon be taking this gem off of my uncle's hands and begin a resto. I am wanting to do a SR20DET swap and lower the car onto a set of 14 or 15 in. wheels, problem is, I don't know where to even begin. Quote
datzenmike Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Start by getting it running in more or less stock trim. Everyone comes here saying they are doing an SR swap. If you don't know where to begin then don't start. Get it running and enjoy it first. These gennerally get towed somewhere, have the motor and running gear pulled and then they loose interest and it gets scrapped. Ask yourself these questions. Do I have a safe secure garage with room? Do I have tools including a welder? Fabricating experience? Do I have any experience swapping a Datsun motor? Do I have the time? At least several months with money, more if less. Do I have a job or several thousand dollars not including the motor and transmission to put into this? Do I have a family or worse a g/f? Any one answered negative increases the chance of failure by 3X, a g/f is 10X 2 Quote

He understands that I probably love my 210 more than him. God bless him for tolerating it :) 1 Quote

Any one answered negative increases the chance of failure by 3X, a g/f is 10X I know and understand that this will be a slow project and I will not be able to give it my complete attention for a while, but once I start something I'm not going to give up that easily. I know some about the swap and my dad knows even more about things like this than I do, so I'll be borrowing his help from time to time. But still, this is going to be my first resto/swap so it will definitely be a learning experience for me. Also, if I ever do seem to run into any snags along the way, I know a guy at a shop that can help me out a little as well. Quote
