hondaluvr Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm picking up a Datsun 210 5 speed 2 door sedan tonight and was trying to find places to get parts for these if possible? Looking for fender mirrors, chin spoiler, and bumper mods to get rid of those big bulky things. lol New to this car and decided to buy because of the price. Quote Link to comment
BrooklynAnnarkie Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm picking up a Datsun 210 5 speed coupe tonight and was trying to find places to get parts for these if possible? Looking for fender mirrors, chin spoiler, and bumper mods to get rid of those big bulky things. lol New to this car and decided to buy because of the price. I always see a TON of 510 parts on ebay.

Lonestar Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Heya bud, welcome to forums. Once you pick your car up, Post da pics! As for the parts your looking for, good luck, they are not easy to find nor cheap to buy. I've been lucky enough to find what I have. The one thing you'll find off the bat is fender mirrors but they are not real JDM and the mirror quality suck. I found the grill and front bumper, both of which ran me almost 400 a piece. So any piece your wanting, is going to be running about 300 to 400 per item when it comes to JDM stuff cus that is only parts that look for the 210 sadly. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have found mirrors on ebay. Does the 510 stuff cross over? The only Datsun I have really messed with was a 620 I had about 4 years ago. lol Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nope, nothing body wise doesn't. Some stuff from the A10 (77-79) 510 will, like the x member for engine swap and I've been told the gauge cluster will too so you can put a factory style tech in without chopping stuff up.

flatcat19 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Looking for fender mirrors, chin spoiler, and bumper mods With your user name...and your shopping list..eBay sounds like your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 lol the user name is very old and from my first forum I signed up on nearly 8 years ago. This car is just a cheap cheap toy, now that I bought a 02 impreza wrx as my fun/project car. I didn't want another expensive project, just something cheap and fun. I got the car cheap (to save it from going to the scrap yard.) running with 108k miles. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nascarkeith Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Dang, that's a good price. I paid $400 for mine with 251k. Autozone had a mirror that would work on the fender today for 9.99 bit they only had one. That got me thinking. Do fender mirrors interfere with the hood opening? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Do fender mirrors interfere with the hood opening? Proper fender mirrors do not. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Buying a mirror and placing it on the fender does not make it a fender mirror. 1 Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'll probably end up getting the ones on ebay. They are about 2 weeks out sadly. Just figured I would see how easy/hard parts hunting for these cars are. I've been sick since I went and picked it up, so I haven't really got to mess with the car any. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Too sick to post pics, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Too sick to post pics, eh? Pretty much haha. I live in Enid, OK and drove to Halstead, KS (2 1/2 hours one way) and drove it back. I didn't get home until about 2:30am and woke up sick (fever, sore throat, headache, and bodyache) the next day. Today is the first day that I actually feel good, so I'll probably work on the car tonight and clean it up. I'll have some better pictures then. I did order some NGK wires, Denso plugs, and a new valve cover gasket for it from Napa. I'll be getting me a nissan filter and some oil and doing an oil change as well. The motor runs so well, It really amazed me. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Not a bad score, very straight! How is your dash pad, is still intact or cracked? If it's not cracked then you got a real good score. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm picking up a Datsun 210 5 speed coupe I hate to be that guy, but your car is a sedan, not a coupe. ;) This is the coupe: And I'm a little jealous. I reeeeally want another 210... :wub: Quote Link to comment

I reeeeally want another 210... :wub: Getting the 210 bug again John? XD Yeah, I thought so, yours is the Sedan, like mine. I'll have to get some new pics soon. That JDM grill is the 2nd one I found and this one took me 4 years to find and costed about 380 to get from AUS. Costly but worth it. Just need to figure out how I'm going to get the fog lights to work, there is nothing that holds a bulb in the back. Just a smooth hole, it's really odd. If you can find one, be ready to snag it quick because they do not come around often. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Mmm...2 dr sedans are yummy. Quote Link to comment
sunny310 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 oh man I need another one of these cars badly!! Quote Link to comment

If it's not cracked then you got a real good score. The dash isn't bad. Has about 3 cracks. I'm working on cleaning it up before I take some interior pictures. Looks like my car has a/c all intact as well. I hate to be that guy, but your car is a sedan, not a coupe. ;) This is the coupe: And I'm a little jealous. I reeeeally want another 210... :wub: 2 door sedan just sounds weird to me lol. First car that I have seen where they call it that. Getting the 210 bug again John? XD Yeah, I thought so, yours is the Sedan, like mine. I'll have to get some new pics soon.

I bought it just for a toy and now I'm thinking about making a little nicer and keeping it around. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 2 door sedan just sounds weird to me lol. First car that I have seen where they call it that. Surprisingly common in the Datsun world. Tons of models came in both a 2dr sedan and a 2dr coupe. :thumbup: And it does sound weird. Domestics always call the 4dr the sedan and the 2dr the coupe. Datsun's problem was making two different 2drs in almost every model. :rofl: Gah, that thing is clean! What chin spoiler is that? That's the stock chin spoiler/lower valence for a '79.

hondaluvr Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ahhh I see it now on mine. That big bumper is in the way. I would love to find me the "JDM"? bumpers. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 About the coupe vs sedan thing.... Will you please change the title of the thread? I keep wanting to see hatch-no hatch to see. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Title changed lol Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I would love to find me the "JDM"? bumpers. There are a few shops in Japan that make fiberglass replicas if you aren't too picky? Cheaper than finding steel versions... Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah, not toooooo picky. Did come across a sr20 swap kit from mad dat for this car, which kind of excited me.. lol Maybe in the future swap in a KA and keep the a14 laying around. Quote Link to comment
