B210 interior update ?'s

[josh_t]

I have been trying to come up with ideas to make my interior look a little fresher and feel a little more modern without doing anything drastic. i wan to keep the dash and maybe the seats. i plan on doing some sound deadening of some sort. any ideas welcome. currently i have an all-black interior. i want to keep the same color.

Lay down sound-deadening mat everywhere, even on the tunnel, under the seats and on the wheel housings. Then cover with carpet. Will make the B210 much quieter

 

 

For interior trim, here's some ideas:

 

 

teflon

 

face carbon fiber

i have my door panels cut out like the first one but they are holes for 6 1/2" speakers. i had to cut a little of the door metal out but i dont regret it at all. its one of those things that does way more good than harm. only one speaker up front wasnt cuttin it. i really want to do something inside the doors for sound deadening too. i hate getting out of the car and hearing the music as clearly as when i was inside. and what deadener do you suggest?

ive coated the inside if a b210 door with under coating, helped alot but I had no panels on the door either

Didnt ad much weight.

[josh_t]

there is some kind of rock solid undercoating type of stuff in there as it is. it doesnt seem to do anything

[josh_t]

one thing i think might help me out is getting some rubber body plugs and putting them in the big round holes that are there for ?drainage? in the floor and from when i removed my ac i the firewall. they are cheap. would some kind of expanding foam do well in the quarter panel cavities? it sounds kinda ghetto but i think it was worth asking.

[RedBanner]

I mean the cheap aresol spray in kind.

It might rot around spray foam idk for shure.

The drain plugs should get put in

And if you scrape that coating out the doors..... It gets worse.

[josh_t]

yea that kind of stuff might hold moisture and cause more unwanted rust and stench. i'll stick with more traditional methods. i have heard good stuff about some peel and stick stuff for roofing that you can get from home depot. it looks like aluminum foil. i assume that would keep out heat too. it would be nice to have some temperature insulation as well.

Those look like JDM seats, they actually had an option cloth just like that.

thanks, ill take that as a compliment all day long. they came out of a totaled 210

[josh_t]

i do like the idea of cloth seats. if i redo my seats i want to put more foam in them so they are a little softer and do something about lumbar support maybe some stiffer padding on the back of the seats. not sure yet. i really want something that feels like the cloth seats out of the 3rd gen maximas. i always found them to be quite comfortable.

I just swapped out the interior in my daughters 79 210 (310) sedan base model for same year 210 sedan deluxe that had the cloth seats, carpets, and cloth type door panels. Made a ton of difference in the sound dampening, the jute they use under the carpets works real well. Found the car in a pick-a-part locally, picking all the interior out for her. It is in great shape, no rips or tears at all. Her car looks and sounds most excellent now, love to spoil my baby girl who loves datsuns as much as me....

Have you thought about modifying the dash?

 

Here are some ideas:

 

* Some guys fit a Silvia (240SX) dash

 

 

* wood cluster

 

 

* Replace the gauge cluster with custom aliminum plate

 

* Paint it black and color (intead of all one color or all black)

[josh_t]

i think i'll stick with sound deadening and some cloth seat covers or something for a while. i just want it to not look trashy and torn up and not sound like a bean can as much. i know it will always have a little bean can left to it but i can at least reduce it. and i want to keep the old look with a newer feel to it. basically i want it to not feel all worn out.

Had them sent to a shop to be redone. If I remember right, I had all the seats done for 600 cash. I love them.

[josh_t]

well the only part of mine that is messed up is the faux woven look vinyl. the smooth part is great on mine. except for one corner of the drivers seat. it looks to have torn its stitches and its sagging. i think that can be fixed without too much trouble.

I got cheapie seat covers from AMAZON, otherwise my seats look like chit. I purposely keep a little extra fat on my azzzz for padding and lumbar support :D .

i like they. i'm trying to decide what color though. i have a yellow car, black interior, it has a off white head-liner and it has the silver stripe across the dash. and i want the two tone ones. that will help out my interior a good bit. that and having my carpet fastened to the floor properly so it doesnt stay all bunched up or get moved around all the time.

I think the combo set gray would look nice.

 

I have thick shag carpeting under the seats and on the floor of by B210 and then covered with rubber mats and then beige floor mats. That quiets the B210 quite a bit, filling the doors with insulation which I haven't done yet would help. I'm afraid I would ruin the door panels.
