EstevanR Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi, i would just like to say i just love this forum, great stories. well this is my first datsun and my first car. its a 1982 datsun 210 wagon, i bought it a couple months ago off of a guy on craigslist, he was asking 650, i handed him 400 dollars and got it home. its a 5 speed manual with 40,000 original miles on the engine, the interior was completely destroyed by the sun (i live in las vegas) but the body was straight and not a spot of rust anywhere. i love this car and have no thoughts of getting rid of it.

metalmonkey47 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 280ZX strut/brakes with 2'' coilover sleeves/springs. L20B engine swap, Cool rims, tires and you're cherry! Just rock it old school man. Quote Link to comment
EstevanR Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 and what about an l28 engine? i found one on my local craigslist. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 and what about an l28 engine? i found one on my local craigslist. its an inline 6 cyl. not gonna fit without heavy modification. and not really worth the work it takes. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 L28s are, (shhh... o u t d a t e d) and you can make as much/more power with a lighter better fitting 4 cylinder. But that's for later. THIS: 280ZX strut/brakes with 2'' coilover sleeves/springs. AND: L20B with U67 head and '78-'80 intake with L16 exhaust manifold, short FS5W71B 5 speed with L swapped front case. S110 H-190 rear axle swap with the rear disc brakes. 15/16' zx master cylinder.

twofouroh Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Theyre not outdated, theyre oldschool! However, what you got there is a 4 cyl. hood, and squeezing 2 more under there isn't for the faint of heart. You'll get rolling faster, cheaper, and happier just putting a modern 4, like an SR20DET, or a KA24DE(T) under there. Good luck with it! Quote Link to comment
