kiznook Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 i need a header for my 510, square port, if it's a long tube it needs to work with L20 (can't hit floor) PLEASE!!?? Link to comment
slodat Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 make one ;) you are a welder, right? Jock out at Bill's Datsun Shoppe in Clackamas has headers in stock, but he wants like $225 for them. Nissan Motorsports still has the long tube L20 header for a 510, last I checked.. I think they are in the $300 range. Troy Ermish also reportedly has them for the same price. Build a turbo manifold and we can be L20 turbo twins! Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Screw Bill he sells the same header!!!! But this one is 149$ http://www.racetep.com/nissan.html I would get it Ceramic coated!!!!!!!believe me that paint job was done in a chicken coupe!!!!!!! Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 The adj LCA bushings listed on their suspension page are half of what Bill quoted me! sweet! :) Link to comment
kiznook Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 i was thinkin of checkin this out http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/316527805.html but with the z20 block i think it will hit the floor. but i figured i could buy both and make a shorty out of them. Link to comment
slodat Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 You could easily make a shorty out of one of those. Have it sandblasted and then buy some sheetmetal to make a collector with. Form it around the tubes into a single tube. Link to comment
kiznook Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 okay, i picked up both of them (long tube) one is fairly thin twords the collector and even rusted through. the other is still pretty solid with just typical surface rust. Got them both for $40 so i won't be too sad if i cant make them work. Tomorrow i'll test fit the "good" one, see if it clears the pcv/block/bellhousing/floor. if not, i'll try the shitty one and chop and weld until i've got something that will work. still, if anyone has a spare laying around, let me know...i don't know how long either of these will last even if i can make something fit Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Kiznook, always ck those headers and make sure they mate flush with the intake manifold when using those thick washers. Some headers flanges are thin and need a special washer set up , the intake/exhaust washer wont mate flush. Just to let you know!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment

YES YES Hainz...one of the first things on my mind as i drove away. Depending on how well things work, i'll either make some washers, or possibly machine (nismopu) a new flange. hopefully i will get some time to screw with it tomorrow. Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 you could just weld on some tabs about 3/16 of an inch thick with a wire feed. Link to comment
kiznook Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 turns out they both have extra tabs on them already. Didn't get a chance to test fit today, either tomorrow or sunday. I'll be continuing this discussion in my project build thread (dead by now :( ) Link to comment
