DatMo Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well my 510 is coming home so more progress will be coming. Just need to order the correct engine mounts as rock auto sent ones way too thick. I'll try to find nos ones. Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Specs on the wheels? Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Specs on the wheels? 13x6.5 +10. Also, I got the car into the garage today. Finally back home. But unfortunately, I looked at what the rain did and my block seems to have some light rust and the tie rods that are brand new have a lot of surface rust.... :((( I'll just sand em a bit and put some paint so it doesn't happen again. I'm not too sure what to do about the block. >:( Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 So I'm learning to weld and my brother's teaching me a bit. I've changed up my color scheme a bit The car will be orange. As excited as I was to have 13's I think they're actually a bit too small... Maybe they'll look better with tires and etc. I just need a bit more work in the engine bay. I cleaned up some rust because it's thankfully just surface rust. I unfortunately still do not know what to do about the rust on my block... Soon, pics. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm just waiting on my damn engine mounts.

I posted an ad to buy some parts that I need as well as parts I'm selling. Here's some items I'm interested in purchasing/trading.I'm looking for a electronic dizzy cap.BMW ellipsoid headlights that are already fabricated to fit into the 510 housing.Yellow fog lights for a 510.rear drivers side 510 wagon tail light.Top thermostat housing l series 3 bolt. 71 510 tach. orange needleBRE style front air dam.

No rust but is painted sky blue. $10068 dash cap in good condition. $4068 tail lights. two sets with wiring, one pretty good the other just decent.

Pm me if anything rather than writing it here. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm looking for a electronic dizzy cap. FWIW, these are about $4 on rockauto. BMW ellipsoid headlights that are already fabricated to fit into the 510 housing I think most people mod the housing, not the lights? I know I did... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think most people mod the housing, not the lights? I know I did... You mod both the Light and the headlight bucket. Honestly after having them I thought they were a decrease in light from my sealed beams (and the e30 forums say the usdm ellipsoids are worse than the e30 H4 option or the Euro Ellipsoid). Just by a decent set of H4 conversion lights, and DO NOT put HIDs in them. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 You mod both the Light and the headlight bucket. Oh right. Forgot you have to trim off the BMW mounting brackets. :rofl: Sorry, it's been 10+ years since the last time I did that conversion... ^_^ Quote Link to comment

Just by a decent set of H4 conversion lights, and DO NOT put HIDs in them. I'm not too aware of any brands that do h4's besides hella. Do you recommend any? I'll have to do some more research. FWIW, these are about $4 on rockauto. I think most people mod the housing, not the lights? I know I did... Where on rockauto. I'm not sure what my distributor came off of and I'm still looking right now to find what options are to find the cap. lol Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm just getting the dizzy cap off of a 720 dizzy for $1.50. lol. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Lol... hope its not a 8 plug one. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Lol... hope its not a 8 plug one.Well from the pic, it looked just like the one I have. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure what my distributor came off of and I'm still looking right now to find what options are to find the cap. lol Then spend $2 and buy a rotor too. :rofl: As long as you use the cap and rotor from the same car, it'll be fine. If it's matchbox, you want a cap and rotor from a '78 200SX, 510, or 620 truck. They are all interchangeable when done as a "pair". Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 So, I found a few buys but they were on ebay, I was wondering if anyone has ever bought any of these just to see some ratings? To start, here's these lights? They seem to be alright and they're what I want. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-3-4-HALOGEN-CRYSTAL-CLEAR-HEADLIGHT-AMBER-YELLOW-GLASS-FOG-H4-LIGHT-BULBS-SET-/251759473172?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a9e08b214&vxp=mtr I'm also interested in these fender mirrors. I'm not sure if anyone has these but I'm looking for something similar to these on the car. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTX1QbPvdUT_5UU-J8TUKTU2uA-jfEg_eqKou024TsfwUAGQfHdcQ Here's another ebay set i found I'm also interested in as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-BLUEBIRD-210-310-410-510-1600-SSS-1200-CHROME-FENDER-MIRRORS-PAIR-LH-RH-/311232357013?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4876e4e295&vxp=mtr Now I just need a front air dam from futofab!!!!

q-tip Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 So the first set of mirrors look like the 510 flag style fender mirrors, the second set looks a little different Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 So the first set of mirrors look like the 510 flag style fender mirrors, the second set looks a little different That's how I felt but I couldn't tell the difference too well. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 The second set look like they're smaller 1 Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The second set look like they're smaller Agreed. Some updates. I finished the battery tray delete. I just need to weld up this little slash in my bay then I'll be painting soon. I'm going to hopefully do the weld tomorrow so that I can paint by sunday. I just won't know if I have enough time to finish tomorrow. I also go my top thermostat housing as well as my nos engine mounts. It's coming together. really want the fender mirrors on this car. I'm not sure which ones they are but I love them. Quote Link to comment
