Nascarkeith Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I just picked up a ratted out 1980 310. It's not nearly as nice as yours but I have painted a few things. You may know this already but cleaner wax is good for over spray. However, not sure I'd use it on fresh paint. Anyway nice ride. Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 This was a dealer installed accessory from what I've seen in the accessory catalog. I'd like to get it re-chromed. I didn't like the emblem at first but if not many have then I got to keep it. Keep it! Rarities make the car even better! I've never seen an emblem on a 210. One of the kids on here bought a 210 wagon with a cow emblem on the hood. Looked great! I should have a rear side marker. I'll take a look. I've been coming across a lot of clocks lately (they come with the tachs which I've been selling). If I find another I'll hit you up. Just know that the mechanism in them will be broke so the clock will not work. None of them ever do. If you're handy with those things just replace the mechanism. I put a clock I found in my 210. You aren't just limited to a 2-door hinge. The front door hinges off a 4-door will also work. Quote Link to comment
Nascarkeith Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks Keith. Yeah, man. I'm a Datsun rookie so glad I had helpful info. I just waxed my hood with McGuire's cleaner wax and then went over that with Rain-X carnuba wax. Curious to see if it brought the paint back to a shine when the sun comes back up. It did get all the overspray off. Quote Link to comment
720inOlyWa Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I love this car! My sister in law had a cobalt blue four door 77 B210 with a manual tranny. A four speed, I think. That car was bulletproof! The stories I could tell. We called it ‘The Motor Canoe’. It was a great little car. She just told me now that she wishes she still had it. “Well why don’t you?” I responded. I am off to the wrecking yard tomorrow morning, sniffing out some 720 parts. Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Radiator looks crispy. I have a want add in the classifieds looking for one. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I had the radiator repaired and replaced the starter. It started and ran great after i played with it for a couple days. But unfortunately it smokes almost as bad as before it was rebuilt. Has almost 40 miles on it so far. One step forward and two steps back. Sometimes I just have bad luck with stuff. I had my house key copied today and had to go back to the locksmith cause it didn't work. http://s272.photobucket.com/user/dat521gatherer/media/1980%20Datsun%20210/210%20smoking/SANY6986_zps8693dae7.mp4.html?sort=3&o=4 http://s272.photobucket.com/user/dat521gatherer/media/1980%20Datsun%20210/210%20smoking/SANY6988_zps17d00a03.mp4.html?sort=3&o=5 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 It runs great now. I've got a hundred miles on it. Drove it to work the last couple days. I need to adjust the valves again. No ticking but I didn't do the proceedure corectly last time. I know how now. Oil change and head retorque at how many miles? 1 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I cleaned out the trunk yesterday. It's in good shape except it leaks on both sides by the hinges. After I fix the leaks I'll give the trunk a repaint. Can someone show me how the jack and tool bag or lug wrench is supposed to mount? Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Im going to put these spectres on it that I got from ericsb210 as soon as I get them cleaned up. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I haven't got a lot done because of medical problems but I did score a license frame. I have the original black plastic one but you can't really repaint the letters as they are thin stickers. Know what's crazy?? I think i have the sisters to those beauties 1 Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 American racing spectres done. They are 13x6 I don't know what the offset is. I want to put probably as close to stock hight on these maybe 175 70 13 or 185 70 13. I'm not too smart when it comes to tires. Any advice welcome. Current tires are 155 80 13. 2 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Michaels 200sx spectres with 205 60 13's And he want more meat. wider. Too much for me. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Rim is actually 13x6.25 which is 158mm wide so a 175 70 would be 6.88 inches wide at 22.64 tall. I think thats what the book says is stock. Quote Link to comment

Spoona_Jay21 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Just read through this all! I LOVE IT! Especially the the hood ornament, and old Delridge Datsun frame. Used to live down the street from the Southwest Plumbing that currently is in the old Delridge Datsun dealer :D want to find one for my 620 eventually.... 1 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nice car! Thank you. Just read through this all! I LOVE IT!

Used to live down the street from the Southwest Plumbing that currently is in the old Delridge Datsun dealer :D want to find one for my 620 eventually.... Thanks. The hood ornament grew on me quickly after I didn't care for it. Pumpkin210 has a new one on one of his rides, maybe I can locate a pic of it. I also have a dealer pic of a b210 with a hood ornament. I love rare parts and options and the lisence plate frames are the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment
