Dirttrack510 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Nice find, these cars are really starting to grow on me. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 A build thread is a very good idea. Documenting your build and adding comments is self motivating and keeps the momentum going. It also answers questions for others and , heaven forbid, if you have an accident you have some proof of value, time and parts invested in your ride all documented with pictures.

shfty Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 yup it is really motivating plus i open my front door and boom its right there reminding me of all the things i need to get done to be able to drive it Quote Link to comment

Will Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Have you checked here? http://datsun510.com/manuals/index.html One of the manuals on that page might cover the J-series engine. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The red turn signals at the rear are simply red because they have always been red and no other reason. I heartily agree that the yellow are more noticeable. They are instantly recognized as a signal and not a brake light. Quote Link to comment
shfty Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 the blinkers are nice but i would really love one of those violet center taillight garnish Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Shifty. What backspace numbers did you use on your front and rear wheels? I could get a set made for my ride, but would appreciate your numbers for starters. In the past I have made some stretchies but w/o actually checking in on backspace, ending out with sticking ( out) wheels which is not my style. Yours look great. Share your recipe. Cheers Quote Link to comment

Will Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 That style only fits between the later 140J taillights - the ones that look like this: http://www.ebay.com/...10c1c89&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 They fit us coupes and sedans, if you dont mind cutting the top inch and a half off of it lol Quote Link to comment
