ericsb210 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I posted some picks of my 78 F10 Sport Wagon along with the 77 F10 Hatchback I picked up yesterday on photobucket. Follow this link - . I am running Ubuntu as an operating system on this computer and photobucket is not allowing to copy link addresses to post photos, as soon as I have access to a windows based computer I will post picks to the sight. http://s1155.photobucket.com/user/drwho192/library/?sort=3&page=1 Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I ordered new tail lights for the F10 from Japan Order, I believe they were in the Japan Yahoo Auction...well anyway we needed the drivers side lens and Japan Order was the only place I could find a tail light lens but I had to buy the left & right complete units NOS. Hopefully for the amount we paid Japan Order comes through. Has any one else tried Japan Order? I will post updates on the status of my purchase if any one else is interested in trying them out. They had some hard to find items for other Datsuns also. Quote Link to comment
Scq4247 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I was the one that was having clutch issues with my 78 F10 but after talking back and forth with Len a few times I was able to take care of the problem and yes it was just a clutch pushrod problem haven't had any problems since. But I got a lot of practice changing F10 clutches. Got it down to a science now can change one out in 30 minutes easy. But since Len helped me out I haven't had to change another.

ericsb210 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Cool, I will probably have to lean on you all for help when the time comes for a clutch. Or for many other items for that matter. It is great to have a tool like this forum. Keep up the good work ratsunites! Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 for the oic whores like me I figured I'd snag one from your photobucket I can picture it being pistachio green with real wood veneer on the sides (instead of fake wood decal) and slammed to the ground, of course you also need the yamaha carbs Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 The wife was seriously considering pistachio green but I think she has decided to keep it white. With a fresh coat of paint. We are gathering parts to work on the Datsuns this spring, As you can see all work is done outdoors, at least untill we decide on a house in the area. Quote Link to comment
Scq4247 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I actually have been considering slammin my f10. I am assuming that there aren't any kits or parts out there that are specifically for lowering an f10. Is this even possible to do or should I just forget about. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Its McPherson strut, so lowered the same way as other Datsuns. Cut the lower spring perch and fasten it lower with a shaft collar. Or cut the springs. Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I am going to lower both of the F10's this spring. I thought I would lower the shaft collar on the front and retain the full spring due to upfront weight and just cut down the rear springs, not much weight back there. What do you think ggzilla?

Scq4247 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's kinda what I was thinking too. But on the other hand I like the idea of keeping the full spring also. Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Like these F-10s a lot. I think these cars would be equally cool looking a little higher (suspension wise) making a cool outdoors wagon. Subie kind off. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 A fwd outdoor wagon? Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I might be getting one of these soon if all goes well! It's about an hour from me and there's someone that lives in the same town to check it out for me here's the only pic from the ad but hope to have more tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah I know but I really need an extra car or be forced to fix my 810 little by little plus It will save me some money on gas and later on could always sell it. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Find a '79-83 210. Way more reliable, and just as cheap on gas. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Nah, it is a great find and it will be a fun car for you. They are as simple as the B210's are to work on and the parts are easier to find then you might think. Have fun with it! Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't know if I'll buy it for sure I got into a little incident with my 810 and I rather use the money to fix it but it all depends how much I can get the F10 for. Here's some pics a buddy took when he went to look at it for me. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 The F10 is in pretty good shape except for that driver side panel which was the worst part of the car, but the paint still shines. Interior is good shape too the only bad is the front seats are torn, car starts right up, no shaking, knocks or ticking. It will need a valve cover gasket it seeps a little oil but that's easy other than some cleaning and polish and detail it's a great little daily driver. Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I like it. It would make a fun daily driver indeed. Not a fan of the Wrong Wheel Drive type but considering this is one of the very first WWD vehicles, I think first Datsun FWD in US, makes it a peace of history. About the similarity with a Subaru 4WD, i said it looks , and would look like, with minor suspension lift, but certainly will not perform as a 4WD Subaru. A friend of mine had one, it was a blast. So different it comands others to look at it. His had a fan on the engine compartment I think meant to cool off the manifold / carburetor area. Quote Link to comment
