circa.13 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not exactly a new car but new to me. :D I ended up trading my 1992 SE-R for this loud, obnoxious , menacing piece of nissan love and history. Just picked this up Sunday(4/24/11) so I'm in the process of learning. I do believe I am going to end up pulling the motor and trans in a month for a KA swap. Well here she is... As far as I know this is what the 510 has: L20B 280SX 5sp Trans Weber Carb 280sx Gear Reduction Starter 1969 Front Grill 1969 Apron(I think) Nismo(what i was told) Header Welded Diff Relocated Alternator European Tail Lights Prelude Seats Mallory Electric Ignition Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The motor looks great!!! I love comp orange, is the front bumper off level? Something looks off on the front end. Good find man I hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment
circa.13 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not bad for basically free right? The l20 is purtty and sounds awesome but I need something with a little more turbo. :P Yeah I'm not sure what's going on with the front bumper, I was going to take it off today to test some paint options. It probably got a smack in the mouth back in it's hay day. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The bumper mounts look Un level, tie a string to the mount bolt hole and place a lv on it, make sure the car is on flat ground that is also lv Quote Link to comment
circa.13 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Awesome...I had a feeling it just needed to be adjusted, now its confirmed. :) Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yeah that can happen a number of way like someone jacking the car in the wrong spot, some mild adjustments should at least make it look straight. It still a great looking dime dude Quote Link to comment
circa.13 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Started taking apart to throw some paint down. Uploaded with ImageShack.us As of now I'm just doing a satin green because I'm not to fond of the sparkly black that is on it now. Maybe later on I'll have the money to actually have the dents and what not taking care of. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I have the whole rear taking care of as of now just getting to dark for pictures. Quote Link to comment
circa.13 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Little update...shes green. :D Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us The bumpers are getting painted black but I'm sure what to do with the rest of the trim. I kinda don't want to touch it because I'm not sure if its hard to come by or not. Eventually I'm going to really sand the car down and try to fix most of the flaws and have a professional paint job.
