5tinguy Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. My name is Ollie. I have been on the 510realm forum for a while and I got the link to this forum off of one of Icehouse's post there. I almost every day check the 510realm, the dime quarterly, ebay, and craigslist for datsun stuff. I currently own 71' 2door 510, 71' 4door 510, 73' 620 pickup, some other non-datsuns(85' suburban 4x4,82' k5 blazer, 62' cad. 2door coupe, 95 geo prizm, 02' sentra-wife's car), and had a 71' 240z, 71' wagon 510, 77' 200sx, 70' roadster, 01' mustang gt, 04' neon srt-4. I am live in the northbay(sf) and wanted to know if there was anybody from my area on here. Ollie, Quote Link to comment

71DIMER Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey Ollie, I'm from Sunnyvale, just South of you in SF. Boy do you have a fleet!!! :P Let me know if/when you wrench on your Datsuns, I may be up for helping out, not that I know what I'm doing too much but at least can be an extra hand and learn at the same time. :) I have a 1971 Datsun 510 2 Door and a 1970 Datsun 521 truck. Here are a few pics to give you an idea. As it looked when I picked it up in San Diego (with the heavy and IMO ugly MOMO wheels, not to mention the illegal window tint) But this is why I loved it... Near perfect stock black interior with full 6-pt roll cage Soon after I bought some 15" Watanbe RS-8 wheels from Japan Here it is with the Watanabes on and the tint off So then I slapped on some new H4 lights And just last week I finally got my new 16" Panasports on my ride to fill up the tire wells/fenders a little better. Here's some pics of my 521 truck. When I first got it the seats were horrible!!! So I came up with these 'plans' lol! And now it looks like this... Slowly but surely removing the surface rust!

Icehouse Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 What did you do with the RS-8's? Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Icehouse: I plan to clean them up (damn cobwebs from sitting for a while) and post/sell them on Craigslist. They have brand new tires, less than 150 miles on them too! Quote Link to comment
5tinguy Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Damn that is sweet. Both my 2door and my 4door I am currently working on almost every day after work. I'll try to post some pics. Ollie, P.s. How do you post pics? I can't get it to work. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 You just have to have them loaded on a picture hosting website like shutterfly.com or any other like it. Then once you do you just have to cut and past the url address when you click on the 5th icon from the right (looks like a yellow square with a mountain in it). Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Sorry guys we make all members link there photos until they get 30 post and have been a member for 30 days. We are trying to keep save space, and get everyone in a habit of hosting them elsewhere :D Quote Link to comment
5tinguy Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I got it to work! The black and white 4door has been hogging a lot of my time. My blue 2door gets some of my time when I need a break from sanding/painting or breathing the fumes. P.S. I threw the pic of my old mustang(sold). It won me 4 trophies at the drag strip and I did 2 road course events in it. My wagon also had a road course weekend. I,ll try to get some more pics up soon, Ollie Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 OOWW nice collection! Now that I get to see them :) There are so many pics I don't know where to start.... I see you like them without front bumpers :D What engines? and what suspension setups do you run? Quote Link to comment
inline4 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I need some parts for a KA swap. does anyone in the bay area sell stuff like lines and tanks w/pump? Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 5TINGUY & INLINE4: Where do you guys live...I'd be up for getting together and checking out your rides. Quote Link to comment
5tinguy Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Um lets see, my black and white 4door has a L18 with 210 head, downdraft webber carb. and dog leg 5speed with stock rearend. I got ermish racing coilovers 225lb. front and 200lb. rear tokico adjustable front inserts in 280zx struts. Camber plates from ermish racing. Bumpsteer spacers, energy suspension bushings-front control arm, front strut rod, sway bar and end links, front bumpstops, rear control arm bushings with slotted crossmember. 280zx front brakes, z aluminum drums, and 7/8 master. 280zx wheels wrapped with toyo rubber. I can't say to much about the brakes and suspension because I haven't driven it much sence they have been installed (less than 50 miles) but can say that with the little I have driven it (mostly test drives) I almost nut in my undies. The L18 is pretty strong. Trans grinds alittle going into 1st other than that it runs great. After I get done with the paint/body work I will have new headliner and all new seals. Oh ya. I do like front bumpers I just have them off in the pics. I need to get some more recent pics. I don't have a front bumper for my blue 2door. I think I going to get fiberglass bumpers. Sence my 2door already has fiberglass front fenders, hood, trunk, and flares. I will write another post about it later. 71dimer, I live in rohnert park in the north bay close to santa rosa. Ya, I would be down to meet up. I really want to get my 4door done so I can rip around and go to all the meets. You know blackhawk museum datsun show is the saturday after next, june 30th. I had a good time last year. I really hope I can make it except for I am scheduled to work that day. I might quit my job. I miss a lot of stuff working on saturdays. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I need some parts for a KA swap. does anyone in the bay area sell stuff like lines and tanks w/pump? I just ran a external walbro, it did run out of gas if the tank was low on fuel. I am planning on building a baffle system. I have heard the VW serge tank works well, I haven't actually tried it though. Did you post similar stuff on the BB list?

Dam that is a long post :D Sounds like the 4 door has the "works" :D Or is the 2 door the one with all the parts? I used to have to work saturdays... It sucks in that respect. Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Santa Rosa here. 5tinguy, you should come out to the next ESCA auto-x at the airport. For the first one we had 3 510's, a 1200, and a few REALLY nice Z-cars. It would be awesome to have some more datsun guys out there. Quote Link to comment
5tinguy Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Duke, I really want to come out. I think the next one is july 21st which is a saturday and it is hard to get out of work on saturdays. I need to get my blue 2door back together, that one is set up for auto-x. But if I get the 4door done I'll run that one. I think I'll go to a couple tuesday nights pizza meetings soon. Anyway I have to get back to sanding. I hope to lay down another coat of primer tonight. Have fun Ollie, Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I wish I could go race with you guys :( I love having other 510's out there, it kinda lets me know that I am doing things right suspension wise if I can beat their times (especially considering that most of them make alot more power than me). You would like it Icehouse, the hillbilly hector guys come out sometimes. Hell, you could even run your 620, there are a few guys out there with supercharged tocoma's...defineatly not your typical autocross car. C'mon its not that far of a drive, haha:D Quote Link to comment
