oldjunker Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 very nice work on your 510. it's definately inspiring me to get my roadrace dime back under way. i've got a similar rollcage with 280 brakes and koni coilovers on all 4 corners with bubble flares and 13x7 libras. i picked up a 4 port turbo 13b rotary and need to make that fit. just takes time...

hitch Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Great work and impressive project! I love what you are doing, you make the 510 and its history proud. Seeing how much work and time you have in the car reminds me of the effort I put into my 1st 510. I started with a roll cage, suspension upgrades and saw how much more I'd need to do just to be competitive in auto X, nothing I ever did can compare to your efforts in your road race project. I gave up and bought a kart, kept the 510 for the street. Keep up the great work, I'm so very impressed. Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Super sweet build. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I must confess, the first picture that loaded was the rear flair and I was worried. That said this is the most impresive dime ive seen this far. Give us more please ....... Ive got cheese burgers! Quote Link to comment
kmc63 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Wow! That is beautiful work.If you drive as well as you work,competive you will be. :D Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Bart, The car looks great! I love the wrinkle finish dashboard. Rumor has it the #46 BRE car will be at the Road America Vintage race in September. Will you be there with your car? The US Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen (SVRA sanction) is the same weekend and Datsun/Nissan is the featured marque for that event. I will be at the Glen with my '71 Datsun 1200 for that event.

Bart's 510 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks guys! Dave,I am trying to get the car ready for fall race in Road America.It is my home track only 130 miles away from where I live.As far as driving,I think I am OK.I drove Porsche 911 for few years but cost of repairs is beyond my budget.So Steve and Chris Bonk talked me into Datsun.I did my racing licence in Chrises car (510 also)and I am hooked.Funny part is I am working on this project for about 2 years,spend countless hours and bunch of money on it,and drove 510 first time in my life just few months ago doing some testing at Autobahn in Chrises car.... I still love Porsches and work on them daily in my own shop.I am doing a lot of racing as a shop owner and chief mechanic in SCCA,PCA and little bit GrandAM. I anybody has some free time here is link to few lines that I posted from 24 hours of Daytona and 25 hours of Thunderhill we did in 2009.Enjoy! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/453838-my-rolex-24-hours-daytona-experience.html http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/522480-25-hours-thunderhill-gt3-cup.html Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Looks awesome Be leary of cast alum oil pans as if they hit a rock on the road could schatter the pan. a Stamp steel one might be better. Ichiba has nice spacers http://www.ichibausa.com/ Quote Link to comment

Uncle Laulau Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 This car is sicktastic. Nice work! What do you expect for hp? The original #46 only claimed to have 130hp, right? I would love to learn more about L racing engines, and what they are capable of. Thanks for sharing all your hard work, wow. Quote Link to comment

spoolinitup33 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 God bless, did you get a blind person to weld that cage? 1 Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 That is one LOONNGG trailer for a 510. I do like the roof AC though. Makes getting back into your your street cloths much more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment
