goes2fast Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I would go with the 15X7 and 15X8 with staggered tire sizes, should look great. Back in the day when I had my 1200, I had the same wheels that BRE used on the 510s, 13X7s with B60/13s all around. I thought I had pics of that car with the wheels on, but all I can find are pics of shortly after I bought it with the stock wheels and hub caps. It was red with black interior, and looked pretty badass, for the time, 1973. If I had another 1200 coupe, and some money, I would put a SR20 in with a 6 speed, Ive seen the videos of a couple of them drag racing that are unreal fast!! :D Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 FWIW, I gave in to peer pressure and test-fit the 14s from my B210. I kinda like it, but still torn between 14s and 15s... :P Link to comment
bez1200 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 15's if you're going to flare it, 14's if you wanna tuck them if you plan to run the 14's - you can always sell me the flares Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Why not 17s? Tire selection is the best. I seriously hope this is sarcasm Dave. :P The sakura wheels are kinda was-never-trendy No idea what this means. :D 15's if you're going to flare it, 14's if you wanna tuck them if you plan to run the 14's - you can always sell me the flares Oh, I'm selling them. There's now way I'm doing flares now. I only wanted to do flares to be able to fit something like a 14x7 +0. Since I can now fit a 14x7 -9 without flares, no reason to flare it. Shoot me a PM if you want them. The wheels you see on it from today will be what it gets, although I'm going to sandblast them and powdercoat them a different color. I'll be getting something different for the B210 when I take these off it for the 1200. ;) Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Here's kinda what I'm thinking, only much deeper dish wheels, and gangsta negative camber all around... :cool: Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Save the big wheels for your 210 Like these 18s: Link to comment

MetalGear1200 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i need to you send me as much info as you can about the 510 swap. im going to start ripping off the suspension off of our 510 this 3 day weekend it will be easier if you do it through facebook. do you no longer want those daytime flare shots?

datsunfreak Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Been way too busy to work on this for awhile, but got a few minutes to tinker with it today. To get the geometry correct, I needed to notch the crossmember mounting brackets: Then fitted them back on the car: Everything fits much better now. Next step is to weld those brackets to the crossmember itself, then I'll move on to the spring mounts, and then the shock mounts. Then it's "done". :cool: Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 15's look sick and the 1200 is sweet, love white on this car! looking forward to the suspension swap :) Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 those equip 03's would be so bad ass on this. Got any for sale? :P I thought about the knockoffs for a bit... Link to comment
dennis Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Got any for sale? :P I thought about the knockoffs for a bit... If I did have some they sure as hell wouldnt be for sale. Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 If I did have some they sure as hell wouldnt be for sale. Well, when you said "those", I thought that meant there were some "in circulation"... :cool: Link to comment
dennis Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well, when you said "those", I thought that meant there were some "in circulation"... :cool: They can be in 4 - 7 weeks. Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well, buying $1300 worth of wheels is a little far down the road for this project. That money can be better spent doing something like... putting an engine in it... :P Link to comment
king bee66 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 i like where youre taking this car DF. id like to see this type of stance on a 1200 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 id like to see this type of stance on a 1200 That's pretty much the plan, so... :cool: Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I got the brackets tack welded to the crossmember while it was in the car, then took it all apart to do the final welds. Tim doing the final weld on the brackets... After blasting and painting... Should be (hopefully) mounted back in the car for keeps tomorrow. :cool: Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Got the crossmember bolted back in the car (for good I hope). Looks like we even welded the brackets on straight too! :P Got the diff ready to go back in as well. Fresh fluid, resealed, and a lick of paint for good measure... Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Keep working on the 1200 and get it done. Then you can tell us about that white B210 coupe ... Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Then you can tell us about that white B210 coupe ... What do you want to know? :P I think I did a bit of a build thread on it somewhere, will see if I can dig it up. We are in the process of putting a 1200 dash in it, as well as a full race A15. :cool: How it looked last summer: Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 That looks too good to be a B210 :) Link to comment
