datzenmike Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Post a few pictures of it. Maybe someone will recognize it. See if you can read the part number off it below the spring perch. Quote Link to comment

71SSS510 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I didn't find a # near the purch. Or anywhere. Kind of rusted. Here are pics. Thx for your input. IMG_0150.JPGIMG_0151.JPGIMG_0152.JPG IMG_0150.JPGIMG_0151.JPGIMG_0152.JPG Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 With no pics its hard to tell. Do they have coilovers ? How big is the rotor ? A stock 510 rotor will be smaller than a ZX rotor. Thats 1 way to tell if your struts have been swapped. Quote Link to comment
71SSS510 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 my bro had the panasports i bought and fit his 510 great on mine my tire would rub my purch and the wheel would not sit right into the center of the hub it was thicker. so i had to use 3/16" spacers to make them fit fight and not wobble. my springs are also smaller in diameter than my bros 510 ones. also a stock 510 purch sits over the tire and my purch sits right on the tire Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 . PLEASE: ....DO NOT drive until you get longer lug bolts .......... The front wheels will fall off with any spacer and stock lug bolts Quote Link to comment
71SSS510 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thx Indy any idea where to get longer studs with the same thread. I got a new set of extended rays alum lugs and would love to keep using them Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Non vented rotor so its not 280zx, caliper dosent look stock Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 . Are the lug nuts 12x1.25 ? ............... The spring perches don't look stock ............ the calipers don't look at all like 280zx calipers...... It's a mystery Quote Link to comment
71SSS510 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Do you guys think they look like 200sx from early 80's I heard that they lower 510 by 1" in stock form Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Looks like a volvo or porsche caliper on early 200sx strut Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 ""any idea where to get longer studs with the same thread. "" Theres a "wheel stud" thread in the 510 section. Lots of info & part #'s. I posted pix & info on how to swap the longer studs on. Quote Link to comment
