Liangjordy Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi, I recently fell in love with Datsun 510 and thinking about buying one in the near future. I love the 2 door sedan (not the coupe) but since in my country, indonesia, its hard to find a 2 door sedan, im thinking of buying just the 2 door sedan body from either Australia or Japan. Does anyone know how much it will cost for the parts + shipping and which country more convenient for me to import? Or maybe i should just stick to 4 door? thanks Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 The 510 with J series engine and leaf spring rear suspension was marketed as the Yue Loong Bluebird in Taiwan. Australia and New Zealand might be the best bet for the L powered IRS 510. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Better get one first. The 'kit' is probably what's needed to change the filter inside.There were at least 3 different automatics used on the 510 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Only likely to get one second hand. I’ve got one in one of my 510s. Quote Link to comment

Find one you like and they can help get it in your hands. or look here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/category/list/26360/?brand_id=20719 https://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/brand-NISSAN/car-BLUEBIRD/ https://www.tc-v.com/used_car/nissan/bluebird/?co=392 4drs are WAY more common in Japan/Australia than 2drs, coupes, or wagons. --carter Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 2 door sedans (as far as I know) don't exist in Australia. There is a guy near Sacramento that was sending them parts to do 2 door LHD conversions a few years back... Quote Link to comment
