skyblue Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Went to check out an L20B today with busta nut in Livermore. checked it out asked some questions, pulled out money bought it. then as we are getting the chain bolted up i look at the block stamp and it read L16. i was like, woa woa woa, this is not an L20B. i called the guy over to show him. he was not aware of the stamp and thought since it had a W58 head that made the block an L20B. needless to say he was a Datsun noob. It's a good thing i saw that, cause it would have sucked to see it once we got it to the shop. dissapointed cause i was gettng all stoked on having an L20B. but oh well the search continues. looks like i might just rebuild the L16 and call it good for Canby.

Ranman72 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 well I was thinkin when the car cuts the tire down the center its to tall of tire to weak of shocks and springs or to lo wait a minute should have thought of this before to soft springs or to soft shocks NEVER TO LOW 1 Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 those should be pretty good must not have much travel also keep the bump stops if you can even if you cut them in half Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Got a new resonator yesterday. Dude pull the tail lights out and at least treat the rust around there so no go get worse cuz. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 In due time my friend. Put her on the rack today and checked out the resonator job. Not. Very happy. They added some stupid curved pipe that now makes it hang low and look ridiculous. Hanging low Also put bump stops on And rotated camber plates to get more caster for less rub when turning, apparently. Another angle Engine shot Also decided to clean up trans cover. A quick sandblast 521 trans cover screws cleaned up and cleared. Found a metal tokico brake master cover in my trunk that I bought at canby last year. Put it on the clutch master instead if the black plastic one. Lastly cleaned up trunk 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Looks to me you can build another 510 from that trunk,Oh and clean it to.lol Looking good. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 did you put these this way on purpose for more caster if not they are installed incorrectly they should slide 90 degrees to the fender 1 Quote Link to comment

That is clean! did you put these this way on purpose for more caster if not they are installed incorrectly they should slide 90 degrees to the fender Yes randy that's what I did. More caster. But it didn't help much with the rubbing. I might just flip it back. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Trans cover mounted 1 Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yes randy that's what I did. More caster. But it didn't help much with the rubbing. I might just flip it back. Adding caster by moving the top of the strut back will not help with the rubbing (I'm guessing it's hitting the foot well). If you add caster by shortening the T/C rods though, it will help with your rubbing problem. I really love original paint 510's (especially the greens that Datsun offered). The cars looking good. It would be rad to see you out at some autocrosses! 2 Quote Link to comment

One of my goals is to take her out autocrossing. Tyler gave me the info. Quote Link to comment
