]2eDeYe Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yep, you definitley need to lower that thing :cool: Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 yeah i want to lower it, just not sure how im going to go about doing so. Dont have a ton of money to spend on lowering it, but at the same time i dont want to do a hack job. Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 yeah i want to lower it, just not sure how im going to go about doing so. Dont have a ton of money to spend on lowering it, but at the same time i dont want to do a hack job. You have plenty of time to do it the wrong way...But never enough time to do it the right way... I hacked the springs on my 610 back in the day. MISTAKE! The ride suffered terribly because of it, and I ended up having to bring it back to stock-ish height to compensate for it... My suggestion still stands: When you can afford it, get your hands on the 280ZX Front Struts, get a set of cheap coilovers (2 inch ID), and run those instead. You will inevitably have to do brakes in the future, why not upgrade while you're at it? BTW: The wheels look sweet on the car :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 car is down again do to some cracked hoses. im going to try and find all the hoses that are crusty or super soft and pull them off tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Check them auto trans coolant lines as well. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 yeah we are going to check all of them real good tomorrow and replace as needed. fuel, coolant, brakes, trans, and vacuum lines all that good stuff Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had this given to me by an old friend who remembered my Datsun truck and thought it might come in handy. He thinks he has one for a 510 but couldn't find it. '74 610 but other than body and rear end is almost identical to the 710. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 i keep watching ebay to see if a 510 one ever comes up. Man would it be handy to have Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 ^^I have one you can use until I get a 521, it covers both Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That is one fine looking car man,, keepin the bumpers for safety ( of the car ) is a good idea for a daily driver i know everybody wants to take then off first thing but i dont know,,that sheet metal is pretty dang rare. And yours is exceptionally nice Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The oldest manual I have is for 510/521 but I don't think is a FSM. The pages are thick paper almost like a book and the cover an first 23 pages are gone. It uses British terms like sump, dampers, clutch withdrawal lever and so on. It appears to cover only the very early '68-'69? 510. The layout is somewhat like the Haynes manuals. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 ^^I have one you can use until I get a 521, it covers both I have a Haynes manual for the 510, covers the 521 also it says. 510 factory service manual would be really nice :D Quote Link to comment
