ggzilla Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yes, base model little engine, mid-model same as USA, top model with IRS. Because 610 was sold by Datsun Bluebird dealer, and 710 was sold by non-Datsun dealer (was not badged a Datsun in Japan) so 610 and 710 did not compete with each other in Japan. Would look good as a convertible! Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 go do it, i want to see a convertible 710. 710s are such a rarity here in the states Bonvo, are 610s or 710s more common these days? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 going off of what i saw at canby i day the 610 is the rarer beast but if you get a 710 coupe and cut the rear floor out of it weld in the floor from a 510 bam instant irs Quote Link to comment
datsfun Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 WTF did the Nipponese get IRS in theirs?? Whats with the rear camber??? AFAIK, all coupes were IRS. The fastbacks were either live axle or IRS depending on the model. All SSS badged fastbacks/saloons were IRS. Apart from US, I have never seen a 710 coupe that is live axled; guess you guys got a bad deal. I would go to prison with a smile if I new someday... When I get out... I have a sss violet waiting for me. Red banner be prepared to do crime in that case ! I know of a SSS violet that is for sale and not alot of $$. The car is in Europe and generally complete, missing some trim. Luckily for you, its a LHD so you will not end up driving the wrong side of the freeway ! I am sure it can be shipped to US.... Yes, base model little engine, mid-model same as USA, top model with IRS. Because 610 was sold by Datsun Bluebird dealer, and 710 was sold by non-Datsun dealer (was not badged a Datsun in Japan) so 610 and 710 did not compete with each other in Japan. Would look good as a convertible! Hmm, I am not sure I subscribe to the statement above. Both the 610 and 710 were badged Nissan in Japan and I cant see why such a popular model would not be sold by official dealers?? Nissans campaigned FIA rally events between 71-73 with the 610sss and then switched to 710sss until late 77 which attained far more success and exposure. Now why would they be caimpaigning the 710 at the world stage yet not promote it in their showrooms? WOW, sweet ride, 710's are rare in australia would love one like that. I believe they are a handful of cars in Oz.(<10). Nissan rallied the 710 in Oz but the shells were either destroyed or exported to japan. The model was never sold by Nissan dealers but your Kiwi cousins have a few left ... going off of what i saw at canby i day the 610 is the rarer beast but if you get a 710 coupe and cut the rear floor out of it weld in the floor from a 510 bam instant irs The rear boot floor from a 610sss will fit the 710sss, perfect to the nearest mm. I have a US based friend who is creating a SSS replica using the US 710 hardtop as a base and has successfully done the IRS conversion using the above method. So all you 610SSS owners beware of the 710 boys and their angle grinders ... Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 In japan they had separate dealer organizations. The Datsun Bluebird Shop sold 510s, Datsun Truck, and Sunny, while the Nissan dealers sold the Violet, Cherry and Skyline. Prior to that they were separate dealers organizations (Sunny, Datsun, Prince, Cherry). JDM JDM Later these sales organizations went through various mergers and in 1999 became Nissan Blue Stage and Nissan Red Stage. However a few Cherry Shops remain, for example Nissan Cherry Sales Iwate. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 . It's funny to hear all this, "oh just IRS swap a 710, it's easy" ......... .. . .am I the only one who thinks you're all crazy??? ....... . :lol: ....... 510 rear floors are not even structural beings ..... ... they are a myriad of spot welds held together by quantum theory ..... :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 get Subaru turbo donor car, and when plans fall thru, ill take a few parts lol Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 It sounds crazy but it's not. There's a few Datsun 1200 with 610 IRS, so putting it in a 710 should be even easier especially if you can cut out the spot welds and weld in the floor pan. Quote Link to comment
