green280z Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 My first B210. I was so eager to get this car cleaned up I didn't take any "before" pictures but here are the now pictures. I think it's a solid car and will remain mostly stock with the exception of a few comfort items. Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I love me some b210. That's a sick Z, too. Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sick green color! Are you looking to paint it? Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's going to get paint. I haven't decided,the stock color or white and black. Leaning on white with black here and there. First I'm going to clean it up, refresh the interior drive it for a while. Add AC sometime soon. Planning on striping the car down for paint next spring. I'm currently shopping for parts.

Sierra Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 What do you need? Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 What do you need? More time and money. No really, not much. I would like to get a tachometer, a pair of desirable bumpers metal or not, right rear tail light trim, rear side emblems, a stronger rear diff. That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Now the parts I all ready have bought: Corbeau seats with matching cloth to recover rear seat Black loop carpet Almost mint GTX steering wheel Shifter bushings and boot All tie rods, ball joints, bushings etc Complete engine gasket set Led replacement bulbs for everything and front H4 housings Dome light and 4 outside marker light assemblies. Every piece of weatherstrip and bumpers that I can find 4 Hubcaps Radiator hoses Going to buy: Mini Vintage air system? I hope this little motor can pull it. LOL Wheels and tires Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 You guys in Cali have it made with old vintage cars, good access parts and cars. Luckily, this car supposedly came from CA and for the most part looks like it. There are virtually almost none of these around here left. I remember a friend of mine had a 4d B210 back in 83' and it was a rusted worn out pile of crap. This car is better than that car was back in 1983. LOL Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 That green is very close to the color on the 1200 coupe I am in the midst of Nice Quote Link to comment

green280z Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks for the spam Nicholas, last order I made with them, 6 different parts coming from six different locations with six different shipping charges is always nice. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 No really, not much... a stronger rear diff. FWIW, a 68-72 510 wagon rear axle is a very simple swap, and is about as beefy as it gets. Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 FWIW, a 68-72 510 wagon rear axle is a very simple swap, and is about as beefy as it gets. Yea but the chances of me finding a Goon with a diff sitting at a scrap yard around here is slim to none. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just trying to help. ^_^ I've been fortunate to know a few wagon guys who took their stock diffs out, so... Might be a good place to start? Oh, and if you feel like driving an hour east to Commerce, there's one there for $150.

floyd17 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 look for one out of a b310 (h165) or 240sx (h190) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Wrong type for a B210. The 510 uses leaf springs, so easiest to swap in a B210. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 look for one out of a b310 (h165) That's not any stronger than what he already has. ^_^ or 240sx (h190) This is not true. Every 240SX came with an R-series diff. And IRS. B) Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I did a tiny amount of research, most easy options are hard to find and other options are nice but expensive. Now for $150.00 i'll take that one if he still has it and in re builable condition. Thanks for the link. Any other input is great also. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 The 510 wagon option is easy to find, easy to swap, and inexpensive. Can't go wrong. 510 rear axle s about 1.6" wider than B210 axle, no problem just use higher offset rims. Quote Link to comment
green280z Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Didnt I read that the 280zx strut swap makes the front track width wider? Or something like that? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Didnt I read that the 280zx strut swap makes the front track width wider? No sir, it makes it a little narrower. Just about 1" overall. Quote Link to comment
