DADZSUN Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Cool! I saw this car on Kijiji and was wondering where it went. Good to see it's getting cleaned up. There's a few of us 510 owners in the Ottawa if you need any parts. Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wow that is nice to know ! For now everything is alright :) I still have a lot of welding to do... When I will put all the parts I have on the shell I might miss some ahah thx for your interest on my project :) Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 2 things I am envious of 1) shop space and tools to do that extensive work 2) it's a 2 door with racing history Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 ahah well ... shop space is my father's garage (even tho I dont live with my parents anymore im really lucky to have this space) he didn't use to let me monopolize his garage like that before but his first car used to be a datsun so there is a bit of nostalgia in that... About the tools , I bought the welder for this project ,and I already have a lot of hand tools , but there is a lath and other really really useful machinery in this place :) my last build was a toyota echo ... here is the result: I made all the pulleys myself , the stacks too . It pulled 173whp@12500rpm ... but the rods were to weak for that rpm .. didn't had the $$$ to rebuild it so I sold the car and bought my datsun for cheaper Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 a bit of work ... started buffing the old paint to bare metal to be able to work easily on it and a bit on the top... it has already been changed (I mean the whole top...) but the work has been done fast...i'll try to make it look better before painting to avoid putting 4gl of plastic on it...

Dirttrack510 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Is that an L16 with flat top pistons sitting there? Maybe an SSS L16 engine or was that the race engine from the car? It may be worth putting it back together, if it's anything like my new "Grenade" engine. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 What kind of vehicle is that floor mount e-brake out of?? I like how it pulls a cable in a sheath like the stock 510 cable. No need to pass a bare cable past the driveshaft. Quote Link to comment

So we'll see how it's gonna end hehe If your datsun motor is anything like this you=Win might look somehow like that except I wont convert to FI (for now at least lol) I'm thinking about some webers or Mikuni's. about the E-brake ,I seriously dont know lol ,I tought it was the original one :geek: Quote Link to comment
