datfan510 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Whats up guys....I am absolutely in love with this car. I have a feeler out now for a 510, but I keep getting asked what I want it to be like....well this is exactly what my ideal 510 will be. I gotta ask, though, anyone else seen this badass ride before? The interior of this car is BEAutiful....I have an image of it but i can't quite figure out how to upload it :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yes, I have .. .. and it is very nice .... . but it meets NONE of your requirements in your "WTB: 510" ad ... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I know....that's why I said "what I want it to be like" meaning over the next few months this is what it'll turn into. Minus the motor swap. But that interior is dead on Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 this is a 4 door, you want 2 door or 4 door? Maybe you just like the paint and how it sits, if so find out who it is and get details about paint color and suspension. Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 ask datsloco. it's his uncle or cousins or something. If not I'm pretty sure he knows who's it is. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 oh, crap.. that's Ginos? 1 Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yea it's stance and finish is just really well executed. And I wish I could share the photo of the interior with you guys....maybe I'll try uploading it later Quote Link to comment
TheShagginWagon Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 oh, crap.. that's Ginos? I dont think so Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 no it's not Gino's. but I've seen this car in some of his posts on fb and I've seen it at his house. I'm sure he knows who's it is. but no it's not his. this is also probably the nicest dime I've ever seen in person. if you zoom in on the pic you can see the Golden Gate Bridge pinstriped on the back of the engine bay....nice Bay Area touch, now the car has to stay in the bay forever! just cuz...

Phixius Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 what finishing washers are those? Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I can't figure out how to attatch this. So here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/91622499@N04/8518737407/in/photostream/ Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 ^There ya go! Now if we could just figure out a parts list to make this interior a reality? :D Quote Link to comment
GUS-GUS Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Indeed, that's a beautiful dime. The owner is Mauricio and that's Gino's step dad. Cool guy and you can talk about dimes all day long. Oh and his car is fast. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 That's awesome, is he on this forum? Sure as hell would love to know how he went about that interior. Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 what finishing washers are those? Those are made by Mario Lozano at TSR fabrication, he has a draw full of them in different colors. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 ^There ya go! Now if we could just figure out a parts list to make this interior a reality? :D Theres nothing special in there. Heres your parts list: New seats New carpet Cheap gauges in the cluster Cheap alum. pedals Cheap harness Momo steering wheel Only items I see worth mentioning are the carbon column surround and door panels (door panels would be easy to make in your own garage). Its a clean interior for sure, but nothing you cant replicate by looking at the pictures. Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hopefully, it'd be easy. I don't even know where to go about finding that column surround, though? And that whole shifter setup looks really good, but again I have no idea who makes it. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Those look like one-off pieces. Any machinist could make that shifter in probably 20min. on a lathe... Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well I appreciate your help sorting that out. I'm looking forward to an interior like that :) Quote Link to comment
SoCal Rotarito Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Awesome that my old grille is on a nice dime! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hey Robert, that is indeed Mauricio's car. In fact here is a pic of it just a few years ago when it was already in great shape, so just to show you what a paint job and swapping in some parts that you like (suspension, seats, etc) will make a car look just like you want it. You can see that it indeed is the same car by matching up the personalized plates, the same wheels and under-hood treatment. :) Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 ^There ya go! Now if we could just figure out a parts list to make this interior a reality? :D Oh and since you're really digging the interior, let me help you source most of the parts to give you an idea of what it would take...man I'm giving it to you on a silver platter! Hahaha, ok now you don't have any excuse...get your parts collecting started! :P Momo suede 3 spoke steering wheel: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOMO-MOD-78-Suede-350mm-Steering-Wheel-Free-MOMO-TSHIRT-/300850961700?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item460c1d5d24&vxp=mtr Nismo floor mats: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-NISMO-350Z-FLOOR-MATS-2003-2004-2005-NEW-/150724584252?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2317e2a33c&vxp=mtr Seats: 350Z seats (trust me I know since I have the same seats in my 2 door :P) Here they are in my car: http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr274/sfbaycl/My%20Dime%20Makeover/DSCN4148.jpg Close up view so you can verify the pattern: http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr274/sfbaycl/My%20Dime%20Makeover/DSCN4152.jpg Blue Anodized Ignition Bezels:http://community.ratsun.net/topic/31269-datsun-machined-ignition-bezels/ Razo Pedals: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Razo-Carbon-Fiber-Foot-Pedals-Automatic-/171005540295?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d0b977c7&vxp=mtr Datsun patch above shifter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-OLD-STYLE-LOGO-MOTOR-RACING-MOTORSPORTS-RALLY-SEW-IRON-ON-PATCH-/170988265674?pt=UK_Collectables_Badges_Patches_MJ&hash=item27cfb1e0ca Datsun pin below shifter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-logo-hat-pin-tie-tac-lapel-pin-hatpin-/150974775258?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2326cc3fda Wood Datsun Shift Knob: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-premium-redwood-burl-shift-knob-420-/380595296426?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589d3f58aa&vxp=mtr The seatbelts you can find any 3 or 5 point ones. The carbon fiber steering wheel column pieces are custom as well as the shift lever itself...but I'm sure with enough asking around, you can get something very similar as well. Hope this helps. :) Quote Link to comment
