southern620 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I may have overlooked some information but I was under the impression they didn't make Quick Release hubs for the 510/620 vehicles. is the one on your truck a direct fit? any specifications? Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I use nuts like these: They are a type of all metal lock nut, they have a flanged style as well. http://www.frsport.com/FRSPORT-8mm-nut-Turbo-Outlet-8mm--1-25pitch--Locking-Head-Nut_p_3096.html Digging the new(est) set of rollers! WIll Stainless nuts work too? And Thanks, The Longchamp Mesh are going to be sweet! I may have overlooked some information but I was under the impression they didn't make Quick Release hubs for the 510/620 vehicles. is the one on your truck a direct fit? any specifications? I have a 510, not a truck. Not sure if the Spline is the same. But my setup consists of a NRG Short Hub and a Works Bell QR. Quote Link to comment
510T Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 WIll Stainless nuts work too? As long as they have some kind of locking function that isn't nylon, I'd imagine they would. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 My old ARP 12 point nut don't have a locking feature and they stayed tight for 4 years. I will probably just get some like you posted. I was just afraid of them stripping cause the copper is so soft. Quote Link to comment
510T Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Try your local Fastenal store. Their website shows a handful of zinc-plated or stainless metal locknuts. I always prefer locking style on turbos, it's just a big pain if they do loosen up. Fastenal 9000 Brentwood Blvd. Suite E Brentwood, CA USA 94513 P:925-240-0851 2 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ended up having to use a combination of my new locking nuts and my old 12 point ARP nuts. There were 2 locations where I couldn't get the access necessary to turn the hex nut and 2 locations I couldn't get the 12 point box end over the 12 point nut. Spent 10 bucks o a pack of 5 nuts and could only use 2 of them. Story of my life. Lol Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Also decided to ditch my BMW Projector lights. The Light housings were just too long and impeded on some areas I needed to use. I still want HIDS so I found some NOS H1 Marchal Bulbs and they look awesome. Marchal lights all up front now. Plus, I really like the old school bulb look. The projectors just take away from the vintage feel. Just puting distance between me and all those projector/halo rice combos everyone is seeming to be installing lately. FTMFL! Hahaha Anyways, I digress, here are some pics of the S.E.V. Marchal bulbs, 2 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Did allot of work on the dime this weekend. Felt good to get allot of the small things I've needed to do done.I love putting in work on the 510, even tho I cuss at it allot... hahaha Also received some more shizzle for the dime today. 3" 45deg 4 ply Coupling for the intake and some T-clamps. Those little fuckers are expnsive as far as clamps go... Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Also picked up some 1/8 NPT to 1/4 Hose stainless fluid fittings for my Overflow tank. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Finally Modified my light bezels to properly retain the Fogs. Modified the Bezel Ring feet to make them shorter so that they sandwiched the fogs. Also Modified the Headlights a bit to make them fit and they are "perfect"! Plenty of room behind my headlight buckets now! Took me forever but mostly cause I am an insane perfectionist. Nothing I pull of my car goes back on without being cleaned or polished. Those old BMW Ellipsoid cans are way too long and I really wanted a more vintage look for the front grill area. Still have to adjust them a bit but you get the idea. 2 Quote Link to comment
