ggzilla Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The A10 (new 510) is the same size as the B310. It's an upscale version of the same chassis. differences: * The A10 is fancier with more expensive trim, and has a larger engine * B310 has a 4-link rear axle while the A10 leaf-sprung rear axle Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 for a couple hundred more get this...http://community.ratsun.net/topic/37759-what-year-is-this-goon/ it`s bigger ,, faster and looks almost the same..and about as straight as anything out there.. I would go with the 210 for parts availability. A15s are not that under powered. My friends 79 hatch is quite quick, just the 4 speed makes it no fun on the freeway. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just swapping in an auto rear end will help on the freeway, or rap that shit out. Can still do 70, plus the 210 gets way better milage. Way better. Quote Link to comment

Hardwyre Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Should you buy it? Clear it with your wife. No wife? You're asking a stupid question then.. VICTORY! Though, there is one more "responsible adult" step to include: *Do I have the financial means right now? If that question is also a yes, then buy on! Thanks mike, I almost want to print that out and bring it with me!!!! Give me a minute. Quote Link to comment

BillM Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just to let everyone know- the car has been sold now. I was thinking about buying it but someone beat me to it. I talked to the owner last night and he said that the 5-speed in it is going bad and that is one of the reasons that he was selling it. I have boxes full of parts to rebuild both 4 and 5-speed "60" series transmissions and was going to rebuild it ( I have been rebuilding them for a few years).. So if the new owner needs parts or a rebuild tell me and I can help out. BillM Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 i hope some redneck didnt buy it to put a 350 in that sumabitch Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Well I picked it up this morning. sorry Bill. I might take you up on the offer for the parts. I'm not sure when I will get into that, but he gave me 2 spare transmissions that needed rebuilt so I'm hoping to make one work. The one in it works fine, but it whines through the gears. I'm not sure how much life it has left in it but hopefully it gets me through the winter! The body's straight, no real rust and one fixable dent in the front fender. Everything works but the reverse lights, and the dash is missing. The frontend is swapped from a hatchback of the same color, it used to have square lights. I like the round personally. I'm pumped on it! :D and if anyone has a lead on a dash or transmission stuff let me know! Quote Link to comment
BillM Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Look good! A bit worn but a really good start. Take care with it and it should do you well! BillM Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looks like it's almost missing the front license plate. Bolt or zip tie that shiz. Quote Link to comment
Will Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Cool new Datsun! I like those fastback wagons. Once when I was living in Rhode Island I checked out a 210 for sale with NO dashboard AT ALL! At least you have some gauges and stuff! Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Too bad I'm so far away - I have a set of Black 210 seats that are in perfect condition,that I'd sell cheap. - Doug Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well I washed and vacuumed it out. Then bought a replacement mirror because the old one flapped in the wind going down the road. I thought it looked better on the fender, but it looked lonely so I bought another to even it out. How she sits now- Now the debate. leave it be and drive it. OR drop it about 3" and throw some Z iron crosses on that my buddy said he would GIVE me. Keep in mind I'm BALLS DEEP into my 521 and I bought this just to drive..... But the more I drive it the more i like the shit brown wagon. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Just leave the suspension alone, throw the Z wheels on it, and drive it. The Z wheels are bigger, and will fill out the wheelwells more anyways. I'm assuming you're dropping the 521, so why would you want to make both of your cars impractical by lowering them all?
