criminalslang-810 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Want to put coilovers on the 810... So started to search for old z,s and 240z site...I found that thses parts cost a grip.. I know budget and car hobby dont mix to well... So i statrted with some old s13 poarts that i had laying around... cracked brew or two and tore down the car... Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 So in my findings i wanted to drop a ka24de and other motors so i started with the s13 crossmember... I figure by doing this i can swap in any motor and with the tons of swap brackets ( simple ) Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Why doing this during the down time ( forgot to mention ) the 810 is diesel power which it must be changed.....so doing 3 things at once, but change the areas each week Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Interesting, as the diesel wasn't an option until '81. Damn I would keep the diesel. Quote Link to comment

Z-train Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Nothing swaps between a Z & an 810. Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Box datsun/maxima ( the unwanted maxima 810 ) basicly is the same chassis 280z 82-83 i basicly took alot off parts out this car, but the price on ( new ) chassis parts are unreal for me...So i took the s13 240sx route...still under contruction ,but 85% done front sway bars are needed...( i am doing ka24e swap ) so it made it easier to take this route with this front end conversion....

criminalslang-810 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 now bouncing with the wiring....1st time doing any of this... Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 To not confuse some the car you have is a maxima right? If it's an 810 is it a 1977-1980? I know the 1981 maxima had 810 badged on it. It gets confusing when people say hey I got an 810! Automatically think of the 1977-1980 810 not the maxima which was also considered as 810.

810wagn Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 So the s13 cross member fit on the 810? I have a 83 810 wagon, also a diesel. I'm going with a 280zx turbo motor. I was thinking about doing s13 coils/ lower controll arms. Basically full s13 suspension. Do you have pics of your suspension? I'd like to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I never did coilovers on my 810 has lowered stock suspension cut springs in the front and lowering blocks in the back. My 810 rides really nice it's a little bouncy but not a lot. You could do the same to your maxima I haven't seen any coilovers for the front of the wagon only the sedans. 1 Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have the 1981 ( box ) maxima now the s13 cross memeber is very close ( basicly ) the same... The s13 memeber when using it the the rear bolts mock up but you have to drill the others... i have to get pictures up i dont snap photos i just get into it... Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 When using the s13 front i used everything s13 lower control arms and such ( u must use coilovers ) they fit up.... Now had a issue with rack you can use the 810 rack . I mees mine up so use s13 rack...Found out that didint work for me So i had a 1996 maxima rack sitting around so i use that one.... if fit well had to grind off a hole and weld it up.....use 810 rack if you can Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 With the s13 cross member i figure that i can use a sr or ka or rb thats where i am stuck what engine to use... i have plenty of ka24de and trans, but why? rather go a rb20 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've seen a RB26 in a maxima before it was on YouTube but I can no longer find it maybe it got taken down, I also seem a few RB20 swaps pretty much will drop right in. Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 The 810 4dr i have has a long nose so you can drop almost anything in it.......since for my 1st post i have not done much to the car.. had to repair garage to house the car... then i had to really sit down and figure what motor and stick to it........So going with a ka24de ( na ) then soon after turbo it get the car running then turbo.....

criminalslang-810 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 A rb20 swap it is a str8 forward drop in....I wish this sight could add photos easier , i just dont kno how to do it maybe i do a youtube channel and explain it that way Quote Link to comment
criminalslang-810 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am doing two builds with very little funds it really tough ,they say making your own parts is easy, but thats just a huge lie ( at times ) i still didnt wire the car yet 2 years now, cause i had to do garage to house the cars, then i did inside the house.....with very little doe tough to balace, thats why this post isnt moving forward like many would like....

criminalslang-810 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 To refreshmy thoughts on this build i change so many ( power plants ) first rb, then ka243 then ka24de, and now the solid plan is a ka24det...Staying with that and i will do the same to the other 810 i have also just run ka24det, and run 3.0 maxima vq30 not the vq35 or 37 or any other vq but the vq30 ......do not sleep on this motor.. i will create a youtube channel to make this easier to veiw... rebelion car life Quote Link to comment
