GreaseMonky Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well like the title says I bought my very first Dime yesterday, unfourtnatley I cant, for the life of me figure out how to post picks from my picasa account yet, and that and I dont have very many since I spent the day cleaning out the garage to make room for it next to my 610 2dr, but I am sure Banner will post some up for me soon. Anyways its a 70 2dr and I bought it from five10 its got a cage, and what apear to be steel flairs molded on, adjustable LCA's, 510 struts w/coily's, but aftermarket brakes of some sort, weight Jacks, rear swaybar, adjustable camber and toe mod on the rear. Stay tuned for my posts that will be coming up in the parts for sale section, there will be soem stuff from this coming up for sale or trade, since I won be allowed to run that stuff in the class I am racing. By the way, i really need a steering gearbox, are there any that are better then others? Like less turns lock, to lock? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Congrats. Yes, the 510 gearboxes are the fast ratio ones. The swaps are usually slower ratio. A custom Rack&Pinion can be ordered from Flaming River with a faster ratio, but they have reduced travel (won't turn as far, making 3-point turns necessary). Picasa is not very forum-friendly, but it's only one extra step 1. On Picasaweb, right click the photo, then click Properties 2. Copy the Address/URL part. Run you mouse all the way down to get the whole address. 3. Back here, in your post, click the Img button (), then Paste. Quote Link to comment

I cant run a rack, unless its stock for year make and model, and I want the quick ratio, I believe my 610 is 3 turns lock to lock. Thanks for the info, I will try and get some pics up soon then, p.s. how ya been, not sure if you remeber me, or have put my user name and user name together yet Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 yea james, how's it going? Sound like you are getting back in the swing of all things Datsun. 3 turns lock to lock unfortunately doesn't tell anything about the ratio. Many racks with slower ratios are 2.5 turns lock to lock -- because the lock is farther in. I.e. a reduced turning circle makes for less lock-to-lock. Quote Link to comment
GreaseMonky Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Its doing good, and yes I am trying, I still have 2 of my 1200's, but I promised them to my kids, and now the 510, and the 610 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Did you get the sr stuff ?? or just the car Quote Link to comment
GreaseMonky Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just the car, from my understanding the sr was being shipped to there new location, I did end up with some of the sr stuff, but I am waiting to hear back on what they would like me to do with it, such as the ecu, harness, 3 intercoolers, some pulleys it looks like, a crossmember that Jeremy said looks like a, s12, set up for a rack??? not sure if i got that right or not.

TENDRIL Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 :) very nice!! Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 glad someone picked that up, looks like the PO didn't do a thing to it since he bought it. the crossmember was set up for a KA or SR and a s13 power steering rack AND set the motor back an extra 2 or 3 inches. ( it came off a parts car of mine) ;) Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hey, on that steering box, the 510 is NOT the quick ratio. Get a steering box out of a later 210, like '79. Same box, quicker ratio. Bolts right in. And if you're interested in rack and pinion, there are tons of rack possibilities, just depends on how creative you are with swapping out ends and actual case lengths. I may try a Miata rack when I start that project in the 510. Or get a regular slow rack and run a steering quickener. I'd rather find a good small rack though. Quote Link to comment
