HP11 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I saw that cool 810 at JCCS. Anybody knows the owner?? I did not meet him or her. I walked by the car, but there was nobody around.

HP11 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have worked as a smog tech, a mechanic, I'm a liscensed HVAC and MVAC tech, but that has absolutely nothing to do with my comment. I'm retired now. Who hit a nerve? I really don't care one way or another. I don't want to argue with you or anyone else. I just hate to see people rant about things without offering any kind of a solution. It really doesn't accomplish anything and there are far more important things in this world to worry about. Whatever it is, let's just call it a difference of opinion, and call a truce and get on with discussing that which brought us here in the first place.....Datsuns.:mellow: Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Must be mine. It was the only 810 there. Thanks for the compliment. Nice 810, definitely the best one I have seen so far. Your 810, as well as the Datsun B210 were in very good shape. Your rides should had gotten a trophy for great condition, and for being examples of real unique Datsuns of today. ( hope next year the car show site changes places, it was aweful to drive through that dust , and painful, after all that timne spent washing and detailing our rides!:rolleyes:) Jaime._____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Must be mine. It was the only 810 there. Thanks for the compliment. Nice 810 man. Extremely clean. I saw it at JCCS (and talked to you briefly)The fact that she is still looking/running that good is a testament to your diligence for keeping Datsuns alive And like jaimesix said: "Nice 810, definitely the best one I have seen so far. Your 810, as well as the Datsun B210 were in very good shape. Your rides should had gotten a trophy for great condition, and for being examples of real unique Datsuns of today." Well put.

HP11 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks again for the compliments. Mine is just a daily driver that sits in the driveway year round while my Z and 320 share the garage. In my opinion, the best 810 2dr. I've seen belongs to Steve Golik in Alabama. He's done so much with his. It's a 3L stroker, with 4 wheel disc brakes, lots of nos parts, etc. Here's a link to a nearly 4 year old post but it gives a good description: http://forums.hybridz.org/showpost.php?p=541354&postcount=1 Quote Link to comment
zetozeto99 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 ^ Great guy! Very nice example of an 810 Coupe right next to yours! ^ He hooked me up with a bumper end rubber out of his personal stash! I hope to do the same thing he did with his engine in my wagon! :D Quote Link to comment
HP11 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have most of the stuff for a stroker. I've got the crank, block, and head. That project has been on the back burner for about 8 or 9 years now and someday I'll get to it. I bought that LD28 crank back when you could still find them in the self service yards so it was cheap. Seems like back then there were always at least two or three Maxima diesels there whenever I went regardless of which yard. I'm just not sure whether I'll put it in the 810 or the Z.

zetozeto99 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hat's off to ya!!I just bought that dash cap & stick console for a HUNDRED bucks.!!!!!WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOO SON-OF-A-BITCH..it's Christmas!! Next time i'm in South Bay,i'll look you up. Haha.. NP, Dude. Fo'sho! Anytime you're in town hit me up! I hope that wagon is up and running when you do! ;) Quote Link to comment
HP11 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Haha.. NP, Dude. Fo'sho! Anytime you're in town hit me up! I hope that wagon is up and running when you do! ;) If Z Train shows up in South Bay let me know. I'll bring my "big dime" and that would be the most 810s I've ever seen in one place.

Z-train Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Pencil me in for Octoberish.I think..... BTW-that place has a NOS gas tank for my car also.:D Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If Z Train shows up in South Bay let me know. I'll bring my "big dime" and that would be the most 810s I've ever seen in one place. Let me know about it too, I will show up with one of my Datsuns, either the 610 or the 710. I hope the stroker build goes into HP11's 810. The Z car is cool, but the 810 is not only as cool, but a rarity. An 810 stroker is a jewel of a car!!!!

Jaime.______________________________________________ A bit of advice. Lose that Haynes. I also have one but it basically sits on the shelf and collects dust. It's okay for some things but the factory service manual is so much better. I have scanned it into a pdf along with the 810 parts fiche and if you ever need a copy of either let me know.

Thanks for the advise. I will let you know as soon as I find an 810. As for now, that Haynes manual keeps my interest and my radar on for 810s, evertime I go to my mini automobile library ( at home ) I see that Haynes manual and it makes me wonder!
