SKYBLEW Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Been a 510 owner since 1977, currently building another L-18 Turbo engine for it. Admist my gaggle of Datsun parts and cars, I came across the OE rear shock for my '73 610 2-Door Coupe, believe it or not it still shows signs of life, bump and rebound. So the part number description is as follows: NISSAN 56210 A8900 J B 17 TOKICO GAS SHOCK (and here's the kicker, below all that reads, in semi-script) System of Dr. de Carbon So now I must ask, who is Dr. de Carbon ? In all my 47 years of playing with Datsuns, I've never heard of Dr. de Carbon ! N (aka SKYBLEW) 1 Quote Link to comment
