Hrvat9 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Those wheels are pure sex. Now I have to go wash up. Haha thanks! I was looking for a while for these babies :) Here are some interior shots , I got the cage out. I ran out of discs so i couldn’t get the ends fully off yet. As you can see all the doors have everything cut out :(:(:( I Also got my trunk lock and latch in the mail so I wanted to go put that stuff on, hoping whoever raced this car before only bonbo’ed the lock area..sadly they welded and bondoed lol Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Ok so how do you go about changing the door skins? The spares I have are shot but everything is there for window assembly. The skins on the car are mint Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 INDY510 what differs between pillars? I had heard that the 4dr pillars can be mod'd to work..........?? I don't know, but they definitely are different and slope at a different angle Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't know, but they definitely are different and slope at a different angle I will look.....got both cars here! Hrvat9 moving a door skin from one frame to another could be hell. Look at the inside edges all around the door skin.....see the 1/4in flange that is folded over to clamp the skin around the door frame? When a body shop replaces a skin with NEW, that new skin has that 1/4in flange at a 90deg angle (NOT folded over) so it will fit over the door frame, then that flange is carefully hammered flat. The catch here is that when the body shop REMOVES the old damaged skin, they simply grind the skin off right at the edge of the fold, releasing the old skin, then they pull off/chisel off the remaining 1/4in flange. I think anybody would struggle trying to "pry" that 1/4in flange all the way around to move the good USED skin over to another door shell. Maybe take your worst condition door and try it! You can not buy NEW door skins, other than finding NOS, which would prove difficult & expensive! Other option is find yet another pair of front Sedan doors (I don't think you are planning on replacing the rear doors cuz they are welded??) in good condition.............but I see you are in the rust belt of Canada :sleep: Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 That does sound like a PITA....I’ll go through the spare front doors and inspect them a bit more . All I saw was Bonbo popping off so I assumed they would be bad underneath that. Question: how are the 2 door quarter windows mounted? could I use the window frame from the spare rear door and make it work like the 2 door quarter with the proper hardware and pop out ?

Hrvat9 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 The previous owner said it already had a rear disc conversion, anyone want to tell me what kind lol?? I got some giant red calipers with it but no caliper mount came with Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 The 2dr 1/4 windows are shorter than the 4dr rear glass, so still need fab work lengthening or something. You can not lengthen glass, but you can cut Lexan any way you want! To mount rear 1/4 windows, look at the front vertical rail on the rear 1/4 windows........should see two small "piano style" hinges with two tiny screw holes each......that's how they are hung! I still think rigid mounting the 4dr rear glass will be the easiest! Are those red calipers 4 piston? Surely don't need those in the rear! Maybe PO had those for the front. All OEM caliper swaps I've seen in the rear are only small 2 piston, cuz you really don't need more than that.......... Quote Link to comment

yenpit Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Although we run these BIG Toyota calipers on all four corners of our 240Z vintage race car, they are a very popular upgrade on the FRONT of the Z cars......never really heard of using them on the 510's, but don't see why not......!!

Hrvat9 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I got some rear brackets coming in soon so heres just a quick update since I remembered to take pictures today lol S14 rear bucket seats fit really dam good without actually bolting them down. I think I’ll use them :) Of course they had to weld the trunk lock hole and slap a bunch of bondo on it -_- I got it drilled and trunk lock fitted. It works now ! But I don’t have the spring to keep it open on it’s own. Ill fab up some struts to make it a bit more modern And here’s some inside shots of this bare beauty. Passenger side has already been stripped of paint as of today. I decided the front doors can be saved so I’ll have some pics of that soon. The rear window assembly I’m still stumped about Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Futofab has door skins I thought. James johnson swapped a door skin.. can happen, cut would take some work. Top seam is welded. All others are folded over I think and seam sealed. Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 This got done today Quote Link to comment
noramost Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Non vented wheels cause your brakes to get over 500 degrees and burns up your brake pads then they squeak terribly. Its OK though if you think of the loud squeak as a pedestrian warning device. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I won’t be racing on the road so I think I’ll be ok in Canadian weather :) Non vented wheels cause your brakes to get over 500 degrees and burns up your brake pads then they squeak terribly.

Hrvat9 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I found a 510 wagon near by me, do the front doors fit on a 4 door 510? Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 From what I understand Goon doors will not fit on a sedan 2 door or 4 door. If I am wrong someone will correct me. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Will see if I can get some measurements later today....have a wagon and a 4 door currently in my possesion. Well, unless someone comes along and answers the question. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 They do fit, but the height is slightly different. 2 Quote Link to comment

Hrvat9 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 How big of a difference? Big gap/door weather stripping will let water in? They do fit, but the height is slightly different. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 How big of a difference? Big gap/door weather stripping will let water in? It's not much, but doesn't align with rear doors. KELMO can confirm the difference. There used to be pictures floating around here, but they are probably dead links now. 1 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Well, I forgot there is a catalog on the computer I'm using(I know, just brilliant this one). Wagon door 80100-23401 4 door 80100-23130 They did not list a door skin in the catalog but i think the difference is in the top as Draker said. door glass wagon 80311-23400 door glass 4 door 80311-23102 The "sash" as Nissan calls it (the trim frame what goes around the glass, upper part of the door) is dfferent also. sash wagon 80210-23401 sash 4 door 80210-23100 Unless you can transfer the upper part of the door from the wagon door to the sedan door, I think you will have issues. I have not been able to determine from measuring exactly what or where the difference is. Sorry bro. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I seem to remember a 1/4 inch difference in height. All in the window frame. Door body itself is the same. You could swap the window frames, though this involves grinding and welding. Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Got that weird rotor off, arnt the lugs supposed to be on the spine part? They’re welded to the rotor lol You guys recommend pressing in new bearing? And does anyone have a pic of their rear without anything on it like this? is this bracket welded on like this or is this some custom job? screenshot windows Quote Link to comment
