Tristin Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 The only thing I can think of that is Euro are the Mirrors and HIDS (BMW) but that's going to change soon to JDM Fender Morrors. Maybe the front Brakes too cause they are off a Jaguar. Oh and my Personal Steering Wheel may be considered Euro although it's made in Italy and my Recaros are made in Germany but I wouldn't call that a bunch. Everything else that is not Nissan is still Japanese. Plus, I just hate Ford. LOL! Not trying to hate, but it sounded like you were trying to be an elitest to only running Jap parts... yet you just named off quite a few that were not Japanese. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment

Just sayin'. Lulz, Tristin, your cracking me up. :rofl: Out of the hundreds of parts on my dime, I named a hand full of parts; Soon to be less than a handful. I would not even closely consider that "Quite a few". And it's not being an elitist, It's being a purist. Big difference. B) Plus, Did I mention I hate Ford? Hahaha Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 You cant be a purist with anything thats different... thats where the term purist comes from lol. And its not like you named bolts and a thermostat. Everything you said you had were obvious "in the open" parts that can be key things. I dont care one way or another, but like said it just sounded like you were being an elitist when your own build didnt back it. And hating Ford is fine, but thats not what you originally said. You said you wanted to run RSX ones because they were Japanese... meaning you didnt want to run Ford because they were Domestic; not because they were Ford. But like I said... not hating, just pointing out inaccuracies that I thought I saw. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Too bad were not closer I got a stock diff I would let go cheap..... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I had a coolant hose with a pinhole under the throttle body.... that took me about 2 hours to replace on Saturday. I had to remove a lot to get to it.. it was lame. Maybe while I have stuff apart i'll remove some of the unused coolant lines. Yay! Thats one of my main gripes about newer engines, is that they pack so much crap into the bay, that its harder to get to things when they break. At least you got it fixed! Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'd much rather keep my stuff Nissan then smear my interior with Ford crap! HahahaI'd rather use my RSX vents. They look exactly like the ford ones but are Japanese... You cant be a purist with anything thats different... thats where the term purist comes from lol.

But like I said... not hating, just pointing out inaccuracies that I thought I saw. My first sentence was having Nissan stuff and not wanting Ford crap in my car. That's what I ORIGINALLY said. I also never said I wouldn't run Domestic stuff. To be Accurate, I said I wouldn't run Ford Crap. Your assuming and putting words into my mouth. LOL! But I digress.... Sorry Ben Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 generic pointless comment to prove i dont have a small penis Converting to metric makes it ALLOT bigger! Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 New stock diff = drive able 510 assuming u don't go acting a fool again banging gears.......nothing better then showing off for nobody......just saying not free spinning=bad bearings ....fluid no fixy Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 the whole point of this car is to go around banging gears. It's not a daily. Theres no point in buying an open diff to put in and make backward progress. 1 Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 yeah but 40 bux to have a working 510 seems better then staring at one in your driveway you can't drive .......nevermind ...... Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 HA HA HA! I've done that. My car was on stands many times but when i was working on the suspension i ran into very cold weather last year and my car was outside, so i would put the tarp over my car, turn on my shop light (which provided heat in the cabin) and i would sit in there pretending i was driving and smoking cigarettes. It was a good time. As far as the diff.... i'm using this as an opportunity to finish some things that i would otherwise let go for a while longer if i could drive the car. I haven't even looked, it may not be the diff! Who knows at this point. I need to definitely drop as many coolant lines as I can, add an oil cooler, put in the crossmember, maybe flip it or do a custom pan (not sure yet), install all new bushings, throw some new TC rods in, probably new control arms too and a sway bar.... that's a lot to do. Dude, not to mention i have to pull the rocker covers/cams/front timing cover so i can re-torque the head bolts. Fucking ARP didn't mention in their instructions you have to torque, loosen 3 times, then run the motor and then re-torque because some will be loose. Anyway, that's that... big list, lots of time, no money :/ Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 whats the diff either way at this point Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 ha ha ha, yeah... true. I have monday off so i can do some of that stuff. Definitely doing the head bolts monday at the latest. Hopefully I can knock out the coolant lines too. I may mock up the crossmember just to see what I need to do for the pan and where the engine will sit now. I should have more than 2 inches between my radiator and crank pulley. For some of you guys who have seen the engine, it's CRAMPED! It's all a function of that damn crossmember. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's all a function of that damn crossmember. Write a detailed review for that cross member with lots of pics installed and such. Allot of people are curious about it and not many (that we know here) have used it. Just a thought...
