zat Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hey guys, Been looking and reading for quite some time. Time to introduce myself and share my story. My name is Zat, from Malaysia. I have always been fascinated with Datsun/Nissan, especially 510 and KPGC10. Unobtainium KPGC10 is most definitely out of my league. So i got myself a '71 1600. The PO daily drive it for 17 years. It is under the shed for a few months before i find it (thanx to a good friend who lives nearby). Complete chrome door trim sss side vent emblem original nissan glass No idea what this is (due to be replaced, of course). Good condition used doors from Japan 4 Quote Link to comment

zat Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanx KlassicMotion. TE37 was a score before i even buy the 510. Buy the wheel first then buy a car to match. lol! 1 Quote Link to comment
zat Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 bought 3 months ago from an old spare parts shop. It has an aged datsun sign outside. So, i gotta ask. Lucky i did! 1 Quote Link to comment
zat Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wishlist 1. Adjustable lower control arm and TC rod 2. Rear camber and toe adjuster 1 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Are you planning to race the car? Personally I like rubber bushings on my suspension parts if I'm building a street car. But those are nice parts! Quote Link to comment
zat Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 the car would be daily driven and occasional track day. but i would love to have the adjustability. especially for the rear, since m gonna slam the car. Quote Link to comment

RATDAT3 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nice score! Keep us updated! Those wheels are killer! 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 im loving the extra chrome on the doors. what did you pay for the side marker lights? 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 You have a very good starting point in this car! The Chrome window trim is most likely the JDM "Deluxe" trim. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 i wonder.. if one could find this trim... could one install on a usdm 510? Quote Link to comment
zat Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nice score! Keep us updated! Those wheels are killer! Thanx RATDAT3! Really got lucky with those wheels im loving the extra chrome on the doors. what did you pay for the side marker lights? i think i paid around 60usd for it. they still have a set or two last time i asked. if they still have it i could get them for u. just did a check on evilbay. wth is it so expensive? 1. expensive side marker 2. cheaper alternative You have a very good starting point in this car! The Chrome window trim is most likely the JDM "Deluxe" trim. Thanx for the info, MikeRL411! i wonder.. if one could find this trim... could one install on a usdm 510? I think, in theory yes its on evilbay door frame mould Quote Link to comment
