RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Lookie what the cat drug in. First datsun of the island and potentials the only 210 hatch still on the road too. Here is the new money dump. 79 datsun 210 hatchback. This car has a huge budget and I don't plan on selling it or moving any time soon. We'll see how that treats it. Needs a carb!!!!! Drove to my house that was about it. Sitting at the previous owners Guy was excellent helpful and an all around great dude. He imports parts etc so hopefully get some cool wheels and help with the upgrades What I want to do Fix or upgrade steering and suspension and brakes and rear diff Ka or sr both plentiful and cheap Jeep cheroke flares and test fit some ae86 body kit stuff. Ditch the bumpers etc 5% limo tint.... Done. You have no idea how weird a datsun 210 looks blacked out. Maybe undo this idk not really into tints. Has a pretty good sound system too. 808 at it's best lol Examples and ideas welcome. Also if anyone wants to sponsor my car before it's painted I'll put your name or company decal etc on after paint in exchange for parts/ dollars. Longshot but might be cool. Haha Please excuse the wheels lol Just some inspirational pics. Going to was and clean in the morning and get to work on the epic winning RAlly Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 i assumed because of your member name that you had a b210. nice 210 though. maybe you can score some cheap parts from japan and oz sense youre much closer then the rest of us Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 man that is a nice 210. Krusty the Roach is not quite right for it. Maybe Two the Ten. Or B-Mobile. Or Atomic Cockroach. Oh wait, it's not a B210. Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah for an island ride It wasn't half bad... But seriously it had this massive cockatoacha in it when I folded down the rear seats (individually too neat feature) and I assume there are more hiding under the rugs etc. Maui has a bad roach problem and the car had been sitting a while. It has 98k on the clock but it has to have rolled atleast once it's pretty sloppy and the shocks are toast. Interior is baked too. Plus it was originally roach brown lol. Aka roach wagon. And yeah I had A b210.... Still do technically but it has a buyer lined up at an exceptionally good home for it too may I add. Also had 2 78 510s a hatch and a two door. Loved the shit out of the hatch it was scary fast on account of it's sketchitude. What is compatible to get tighter steering off newer cars and better suspension upgrade? Maybe just a little lower could be nice. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 A roach coach in Maui! My wife keeps bugging me about going back to Maui. Maybe some day we'll meet up.... I've seen huge roaches in Waikiki. Mini tanks..... I think I even saw the police cars with 5% tint Quote Link to comment

RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Look what was hiding in the glove box Original owners manual (I'm third owner buy second owner only put 53 miles on it an the carb took a dump) Cool read I'm sure a bunch of you probably have one but this was the first I'd seen so it was cool to flip through And what is this? A golden ticket to the chocolate factory? It looks like some kind of import slip or something from Au to Hi rest in Japanese. Has a bunch of holes punched in it like an sat test or something haha Anyone else seen this? Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 are the grille turn signal spots muted or are you just missing the lenses, i cant tell for sure from your pics Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 are the grille turn signal spots muted or are you just missing the lenses, i cant tell for sure from your pics Everything glass or plastic is tinted to 5% :P I'm not into it and if there was another 210 on the island id try and trade offer for stock everything. Glad I have a hook up on safety checks or this would be bad. Still might need amber lens one day idk. Everything is green when you look out the windows and from the outside you can press your face up to it and still can't see in Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 just try to get a line on a jdm bumper, they have the turn signals tucked into them. thats why i was curious about the grille, i thought it might be non-usdm Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Too many dollar signs. I'm going to make my own lol. Can't be that hard right? Make the shape out of cardboard and fiberglass over. Not sure how to get it to vacume though. I made a bamboo and fiberglass tandem bike but I wrappe the joints in electrical tape. Still have a ton of glass to use up might play around with it some Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 My girlfriend actually likes this thing I'm rather surprised. She wants to fix the dash and interior and document everything. Ratsun official she is actually helping with this! Ha Took it for a drive to walmartski today ran pretty janky and had to throttle it a lot but I got atleast a half dozen thumbs up and only flipped off once so far nothing but win At lawlmart I NEED these.... NEED Quote Link to comment

dimedude Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 There's a set of those rims on eBay right now just a heads up Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 For 1100 bucks only 6in wide with positive offset? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360427059278&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=45855966572 Like the color but I want something with a stupid amount of poke so flares won't look retarded and unfilled.

bonvo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 there only gonna cost more the wider they get but why those wheels i personally cant stand 3 spoke designs Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 there only gonna cost more the wider they get but why those wheels i personally cant stand 3 spoke designs At first I thought it was really ugly but they kinda grown on you. They look pretty Minty on angular cars. I wish I had kept my old wheels but the sold with my 510 now I can't get ahold of the previous owner to attempt to buy them back They rubbed like crazy and were almost ubdriveable up front though on the 510 hatch But they looked damn sexy lol Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Krusty the roach might become ka-rusty going to look at a full ka24e swap in car running and driving for 200 bucks first thing tomorrow. According to http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=KA_Engine_Swap The stock drive shaft will work but the diff will need to be swapped out. Maybe haggle my way into more parts off the car too... The ka is really cheap here and will be the likely choice. Got my first paycheck time to burn it on this car. Also got my carb from kingbee66 I fixed a vacuum leak (thanks to advice ggzilla posted) and adjusted the idle and throttle stop on the carb in the car so it's running and driving fine. Ended up not needed the carb afterall but a spare is good. Going to go drive the car again tommorrow and maybe head around the back of the island on Friday. There is a cruise to Hana and it would be fun to head over there. Once I get the engine lined up I want to tighten up the steering and get better suspension what is a strait forward bolt up for the 79 210 hatchback? Will 240sx shocks and steering components bolt in? Also does anyone know the width and length of a hardbody truck? There are plenty of them here but prices are jacked up but the rusted ones are cheap. This is a really dumb noob question but would swapping the datsun 210 onto the hardbody frame be possible? There is a b210 body on a 720 frame motor and running gear so the logic is based off that. That would be everything I want to do to the 210 it what would seem to be simpler. Plus a better selection of wheels to choose from as every truck has 10in or wider rims poking out it. Ok end of post. Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 The logic behind 210 on hardbody frame http://community.ratsun.net/topic/21813-210s-unite/page__st__160 Blue b210 hatch on 720 frame Only I would use 2wd/ prelowered hardbody Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Doin work with the girlfriend here is the vomitacious door covers we made Going to do a write up on how to repair a dash and recover doors too soon dash is all caulked and sanded painting nextday or so. No pics of that yet lol This car is going to be ghetto cheap modded And saving the cash for important things... Like having a shop plop it down on a hardbody or pathfinder lol Edit note the excessively stupid level of tint on the windows it's almost impossible to see out especially at night. Inside of car is going to look like mardigras or give you mardigrains can't tell which.... Keep ya posted Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Tomorrows the big day if it safeties I keep it if it don't in trading it for a Honda elite brakes motor and cvt swap onto my ruckus clone installed. Quote Link to comment
