datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Why not just combine a 210 and a 510? Boom 78 510 hatch back. L20b already installed. Lots of parts compatibility to really dial it in just how you want it and you can even swap the grills around with a little shoe horning if you want to really mix it up. I had a blast with mine. Most criminally under rated datsuns are those end of the 70's early 80's models Bwahahaha! This is what I was originally looking for and couldn't find, so I started looking for 210s... :rofl: Used to have a red 2dr hatch, '78 model. Great car. Fun to drive, roomy, and not too bad looking. It was in such phenomenal original condition (all stock, and super low miles), I had to sell it because I couldn't bring myself to modify it. :wub: 1 Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yup. Link to comment
Kirden Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh wow, that is beautiful... I say go with the hatched 510, I'm sure you can find one somewhere :) Side note, looks like I worked out a deal on that B210. Hope to bring it home next weekend :thumbup: Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Keep looking for exactly what you want. Ever consider the 200sx? Ive only spent 15 min behind the wheel of one but had fun with it. I 'test drove' a 5 speed s110 off a lot in Aberdeen Washington when I was 16 and joy ride shenanigans ensued. First off the dealer gave me the keys presumably so I could check the interior or test fire the engine and stayed back in the office (car was listed for 1200 bucks guy could probably have given a shit less when he handed over the keys). After several attempts to find reverse I got it off the lot and hammered it like any good used car lot auto. Pulled along pretty nice. When I pull back into the lot there were 2 cop cars waiting for me. I guess they thought I had just ditched my b210 and decided to jack the much shittier 200sx because of my unauthorized high speed test ride lol. I talked my way out of it with some awkward laughter and went on with the day. Btw the tail lights from the sedans and hatchs will swap around on the 78 510s and you can put the tail lights out of a Z into a 210 sedan. Here is the ass end of the b310/210 I had in Maui and I noticed the lights were different than the white 210 hatch 150y/sunny? Lol And the front grill only Change is blacked out turn signals Is that little lip chin spoiler thing factory? Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Nice 510 too. Now picture it Slammed with those box flares on a set of wide advan a3as stretching white wall tires. Shark nose the front end and a small wedge spoiler on the rear deck. I really wanted to make a bosozoku beach bomber out of that 210 with all those modifications and paint it mint green with fake 'woody' stripes down the side. Some day. Lol Now go buy that other blue 210 hatchie and get on with this shit! Haha Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is that little lip chin spoiler thing factory? Yes, but only on the early cars. Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Nifty I got it from first original owner but the lady let her kid practice ruining perfectly good stock paint for a class project (thus the shitty primer job) and I wasn't sure if it was some random bit bolted on or not. Anyway back to your thread hope you find something good! Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 You know you want it... You know that's a 1200 right? And I already have a 1200? :rofl: Link to comment
Kirden Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 You still want it :) Bet yours doesn't run a 6.9 :P Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Bet yours doesn't run a 6.9 :P I don't think mine will even do 0-60 in that... :rofl: Honestly, a lot more impressed by the trap speed. Seen plenty of 7 and 8 second 1200s, none that could crack 150-160mph though. Didn't even think it was possible to get a 1200/510 to go through the air at near 200mph without a jet strapped to it. :huh: Link to comment
Kirden Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yea, that car is amazing. However, I'm not much of a straight line guy. I say hurry up and find that diamond in the rough 4 door so we can see some twisty action on a baller 210 :) Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 hurry up and find that diamond in the rough 4 door so we can see some twisty action on a baller 210 :) There will be no hurry, I'm afraid. A friend offered me his 510 for a really good price (too good to say no), so my 210 lust will have to be quenched at another time. :yawn: So call off the dogs. For now. B) Link to comment
