510antihero Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Kick ass car. Love the goon version. And I'm glad to see someone else with a late 510. These cars are so underrated. But still Figuring out what to do with your front seats? I got a 78 510 sedan and put 92 Escort GT seats in it. They fit almost perfect. Just had to grind the rails a little to make them fit. Other than that there great seats. And I got them at my local junkyard for like $30 ish a seat. (Can't remember exactly lol) Heres some pics. B) But if you want any specific pics let me know. Also I know quite a bit about these cars, since I own one. So if any questions you can ask. -Justin (Btw if anyone is wondering what's with the metal pipe, next to my seat. It's my anti carjacking device/ punishment for any one who fucks with my car haha. :rofl: ) Quote Link to comment

253datsun Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I like your seats... But I found a guy that will redo mine for $350 a seat... I wanna make them look stock without the head rest though... Rims are getting powder coated now.... should get them back in a week or so I'll take some pix when I get them mounted... Then lowering and body work... Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well I'm still waiting on my rims to get done.... But I got my blocks for the back ready... solid brass... Collars are on there way and I can do the front... Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 LOOK AT THE WHEELS!!!! Still not mounted but I think they look killer :-) and want to show them off lol 2 Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 well thats what i get for being exiled... people get stuff powdercoated at some other shop ...lemme guess j and d in tacoma and he got you with the second coat for 25 bucks spiell..plus i see in the interior they didnt get blasted ....upper right opening it was painted or coated right over a flake....which means that flake that isnt sticking and will take off everything on top of it....not being a dick ... but when i see others work i cant help but point out what we dont do.......they do look nice... but as with everything ... your only as good as your prep work...i'm guessing since u had to wait for them to be done there coated.... and fer the record i give ratsun discounts...except to bananana everything of his is free 2 Quote Link to comment

zenkiz Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Those blocks and wheels look awesome man!! Where'd you get those tail lights from,I need some new ones for mine bad. For my suspension I got lucky and scored some vw bilstein strut inserts from a local junkyard and shortend the strut housing to match,I went with some lock collars and used some chopped 280z springs for now, it rides great. For the rear I used 3" blocks but had way too much rub with my 15 x 8 wheels so I added a leaf spring from a s10 but that raised it a little more than I wanted, I still need to go get a few more leafs and flip/mix and match to get it right..

253datsun Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks for the info... I'm still looking for some leafs I can put in but not sure if I'll need them... I'm only dropping 21/2 and wheels are 14x5.5 so I guess I'll have to do it and see where she sits... Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I had gotten fed up with having to balance the multi switch for my wipers in between setting to make it stop... So bought a new multi switch... Wrong lol no luck... Then I opened the motor and tried to see if anything was wrong in there... It looked ok.... Then I read my book again lol found there was another relay and I checked that... Got it Quote Link to comment
