I might be in the market for a new car soon

[cdub42]

can't hate on them, just the sexually confused middle age men who drive them

[OneFastRat]

So true

[datsunfreak]

I would get a miata if I could actually get my legs in. I like how they handle

 

Same problem here (6'3" 280), but with some race buckets they are actually pretty comfortable.   :thumbup:

 

Always hit my knees on the steering wheel, but a few months ago I drove my buddy's race car with Kirkey seats in it and it was lovely. Actually had me wanting one...

[Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy]

I'm 6'5" and I used to knock my knees on the steering wheel back when it was big wide stock one. It's cramped but do-able. 

 

Don't expect good performance driving position though, you're going to have to do some serious bracket modification to get there. 

 

I have heard from someone near my height at a local show that you can actually shorten the steering column on a 521 to get a little more horizontal room in the cabin. Not sure exactly how he did it, but it might be worth looking in to.

[OneFastRat]

Well it's between a 521 and a 510

[jrock4224]

if u wanted to see pics of a low 521 then well

 

[OneFastRat]

I'm really diggin the body lines on the 521. I don't think big wheels suit it though

They only one wasting time is you. You don't need to look at this thread, yet you do.

[jrock4224]

17's

 

[OneFastRat]

I'd like to see 15"

dirty miks on 15x8 ralleys

[jrock4224]

 

[OneFastRat]

Yup 15's sit much better! Good thing I have some Hayashi Streets at a friends house. Just need to go snag em

[datzenmike]

If you're young and or never saw an older Datsun you might think that 17s or more look ok. They were designed to look right with 14"s. 15" are ok and maybe 16s but lets face it they quickly get into Donk territory. I don't see the attraction.... it's like putting 13s on a Versa/Cube/Matrix or whatever shit is on the road today. 

[jrock4224]

i dont mind the trucks but as far as 510 and other cars go in the datto family i would never go bigger then 16

[datzenmike]

I would also give the trucks a bit more latitude as the wheel wells are larger than cars. But on cars? Pfffft.

 

Fast rat you don't get in a 521.... you wear it.

[OneFastRat]

Haha I guess in my case that rings true!

Note that I said soon. I didn't mean immediately.
