q-tip Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yes sir, that's them. There was a datsun guy working there last time I got some stuff from them. Can't for the life of me remember his name though.....Mario maybe? All I know is he was trying to out a twin turbo v8 in a 510. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 just gotta order the new speedo cable now so everything can work properly If you don't mind an aftermarket cable, Rockauto has them for about $10. 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you don't mind an aftermarket cable, Rockauto has them for about $10. nice thats a good deal, from what ive read with a ka swap i need to buy one for a automatic 510 because they are longer? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 nice thats a good deal, from what ive read with a ka swap i need to buy one for a automatic 510 because they are longer? I believe so, yes. Rockauto has them in at least 4 different lengths. I just kept searching all kinds of Datsun cables comparing lengths they had until I found one right for my car. 1 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 ... living by myself and supporting my parents on 14$hr Good on you for this. I'm happy to hear some of the younger generation being a little less selfish and keeping their priorities straight. Your 510 will get done, and done right. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks i try my best, i sometimes wish i diddnt feel bad buying a car part instead of buying something for my parents but i guess every now and then i should be able to buy something for myself as a reward for supporting them at their low times, also they would feel bad if my whole check went to helping them and not anything for myself. as long as i keep the side jobs going after work i should be able to finish this and finally make it to my first canby :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 why no 280 zx struts? Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 why no 280 zx struts? ive been looking for a set for a while but none came up so i just cleaned up what i had for now, i will be going zx struts in the future and rear disc brakes and my stocks will go on my 2 door. little update: couldnt find any intercooler that fit like i wanted it to, so i gave in and ordered the cx racing intercooler off ebay, because i diddnt want one hanging out front and i want all my light and grill ect to be on the car. this is the one i got. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CXRacing-Intercooler-Datsun-510-SR20-KA-FMIC-24x12x2-5-/330624826680?hash=item4cfac67d38&vxp=mtr also i took all the wires off the engine harness i was not going to use and installed the engine harness and the can am box, after i bend the new fuel lines and wire in the gm map sensor and iat i should be able to fire it soon! 2 Quote Link to comment
