RudyV Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Plus, it seems like the leg work has already been done on this? this i like. Quote Link to comment
Mike Enayah Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I really appreciate all the comments, and I see value in all the feedback. The Ratsun members have a tendency to be purest Datsun loyalist as myself. I will try to take the Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, out of it, I will also try to make it less busy and see what the Ratsun community thinks about the refinements. Thank You.

TENDRIL Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 i like the 510 neo first time seeing one Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Maybe if you refer to it as the new 240/Silvia people will judge less harshly. Like you said, we're really attached to the old styling. I like the idea of designing the next Z/SX/510/620 what ever. Its cool to see how people carry over aspects of the original yet update it for a modern day buyer. For a neo 510, I like the cube headlights. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Mike, your design would make a great New 240SX, i'd buy one at $25k. On the other hand, anything with SSS badges should be more more sedan-like. Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 What? - I remember seeing a 2 door 510 on the Datsun dealers lot, with an "SSS" badge on it,in the early '70's. And what's with the "cow catcher" front end? - Doug Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 yes, certainly a US dealer could have ordered SSS badges and fitted them to a new car. It's happened before. in Japan there were 4-door SSS and 2-door SSS. All of which were very much like a sedan. What they call a 510 Coupe in Japan would be called a sedan almost anywhere else in the world. The 510 Coupe and 510 2-dr sedan are slightly different, but the coupe is not a fastback and the rear seat area is just as big so meeting one technical definition of sedan. It has slightly more sloped rear window and c-pillars basically. Nevertheless, Datsun officially called it a Coupe. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 What? - I remember seeing a 2 door 510 on the Datsun dealers lot,with an "SSS" badge on it,in the early '70's. The American SSS was just an appearance package consisting of the badges, shift knob, and usually a vinyl top. No performance upgrades like the Japanese market SSS. Quote Link to comment
