datsunfreak Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 So the 510 coil is much larger diameter than the A10 then. Figured they were the same. They are the same diameter as a B310, and are probably a bit of an "upgrade" for a 210? Also think it's the same diameter as a 1200 spring. Oddly, the 80-83 200SX (which is related to both the A10 and B310) uses the larger diameter spring (same size as the 510) which is a slight upgrade for a 510. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Was thinking the narrower spring has more wiggle room up in the strut tower for camber adjustment. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Was thinking the narrower spring has more wiggle room up in the strut tower for camber adjustment. It would. I've used 280Z springs on 510s many times for that exact reason. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

I don't think they'll fit an A10. Have you looked to see if they have 240Z/260Z/280Z springs? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Why do you need new coils? Quote Link to comment

Or what makes you think you need them. Sagged? too soft? Broken? Generally the factory ride is a compromise to please the many and tends to be a bit 'soft'. You can improve the ride with slightly, to a lot firmer spring and lowering the ride height. This lowers the center of gravity and reduces that 'tipping' feeling going around sharp corners. The car responds to steering better and recovers from a turn faster with less' wandering'. Naturally, this can be over done too, and what is comfortable for one person is harsh for another.

mhub91 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looking to buy an A10 driveline... Conner? Zach? ....Andrew? Anyone local have an A10 driveline? Doesn't matter the length, have to get a new one modified for my car. My buddy, Danny, gave me his FS5W71C from behind his S13 KA24E for only $100 (considering everyone single one of them on CL is $200+, $100 is a pretty good deal!).Let me know! PM me if you'd like!

bananahamuck Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think the driveline of 1980 720 king cab at Tumwater pick n pull was there in bed,, if you need to shorten it anyways ,, it might be an option. Donovan said his is for sale $300. bucks ,,,,,,,,,, drifter tax. not really ,, ne never sells anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

Been hearing there was another meet closer to Tacoma Seattle area happening same day.... I have yet to make it to a Canby event-but I can honestly say that the drive to Blue Lake is worth it. I met many of good Datsun people before I was into Datsuns. Took my SE-R there once and took my Maxima there the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have yet to make it to a Canby event-but I can honestly say that the drive to Blue Lake is worth it. I met many of good Datsun people before I was into Datsuns. Took my SE-R there once and took my Maxima there the next couple of years. It's not that great. When I went there was maybe 30 cars and a third of them weren't even datsuns. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's not that great... I always enjoyed myself. But, there was also quite a few Nissans there the times I have gone. Looks like it is more of a Datsun-only show the last few years. Quote Link to comment

Raggleflaggle Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 anybody ever tried to put a 620 grille on an A10? i think the angle in the middle of it would push the headlights back a little bit, which would look badass... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 A10 is wider than a 620, so probably not. Quote Link to comment
Raggleflaggle Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 How wide is an A10? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Go measure yours. An idea for you...round eye A10 grill on a 720. Boom! Quote Link to comment
Raggleflaggle Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Would if I could. Away from home. I like the slant of the 620 grill. If they sold U620s stateside I wouldn't have any worldly possessions besides one. Quote Link to comment
