1980 (September) Datsun 210 hatchback

S = Single Carb

It is a 1981 model

5-speed cars have the lo-po engine with smaller intake ports for increased low-rpm HP. But all 1981-1982 north America engines have medium size ports which are best engines for 5000 rpm usage. The earlier hi-po engines made more power but only over 5000 rpm.,

Okay, I've done some reading now. I believe the engine in my car IS the fuel economy engine. Meaning the smaller ports. My plans for the A15 at the moment would be finding a head with large oval ports and a weber dual carb intake manifold with 32/36 carbs. Will this work correctly?

I know, but it's a pain in the ass to do that on my iPad.

Suspension/brake swap from a 280ZX. Cut rear springs to match the fronts. Good shocks.

I think I said that in one of your threads already. 

Not sure. A lot of 210s and B210s have been popping up between both forums. 

 

Upgraded carb is always a good bet. 

 

Scrub-a-dub. 

 

14" wheels. Look at offerings from late 70s and early 80s Z cars.

 

Hey man I had just started learning about this crap in November and December and I've come a long way in my knowledge. I'm thinking I will definitely follow all of those suggestions. I've done a good bit of work and there's still more to come.

Good. There really is nothing to it. 

Anither way to look at it-it's just nuts and bolts. Nothing more. 

 

 

With cutting the springs-it's better to cut not enough off than too much. 

 

Easy-peasy. Post pics.
