The 510 Realm

Id buy a 2+2 no probs if someone converted it to this roof and offered some billet 16s of the original wheels
However the work would be 100+ hours yet with a VK50VE & longer wheelbase a nice combo

will get some pics when the wife gets home as I dont have a camera or selfie phone

pure to datto philosophy & culture

eg. budget build to kill big $ cars

its a good effort but if the roof followed the better redesign of that rear quarter window using a factory hatch it would be much nicer, classical and true to fairlady rear goodness would love to know if its a custom rear quarter window or from something else? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/...

thats a nice pic Spriso,
headers can be made but inlet mani is definitely a challenge for bike carbs
we will see where it goes but watching this VID @ 8:50 - 9:50
on loudspeakers is just orgasmic

anyone have more photos as waybackmachine.org has none that I can find One truly inspiring Datsun story involves Tom Wyatt III, otherwise known as Turbo Tom. Turbo tom built a rather fast Turbo powered L20b Datsun 510 and entered in the "Walter Mitty" at Road Atlanta one year. The engine d...

The water ports usually give it away as an early casting with the square edges. the re-sizing wont be an issue for the guides and bushing I was just worried about the towers being some weird size or offset angle to the usual steeds. My dilemma is my nostalgic feeling for Nissan heritage items that p...

Definitely early head

Heya Fellas Any heads up on building up this head from other L head bits? Im thinking 9000rpm cam that can rev the L18 bottom end 90mm pistons 1985cc sleeved and grouted block with around 11.5 comp with lightened crank & H beam rods. 4 x 1998-2004 Honda TRX450 FOREMAN 450 90mm PISTONS 4825M09000...

2 part cover! yes! will it have a flip top? for better access to rocker area without ruining gaskets?

best looking A series cover Ive ever seen! the only thing I would suggest is not using the breather at the top and putting a breather on the side or at the back much like the modern engines, that way the rocker cover looks longer and cleaner. Ive done the same to my old steel datsun rocker cover wit...

some of his cars surely encouraged many brands like the datsuns with their small, economical, good performance and reliable. It was different thinking but as long as the old tin motor had proper coolant used which at that time was a real problem. I still wonder why they didnt use the Crossley into I...

Yeah Crossley really was a genius with the mighty tin engine Head and block was only 14.8lbs!!!! and was OHC gear driven!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosley I guess the only thing for the GA16de engine is if you want to run a chain or belt as I feel the Z5 belt cam gears could be a good upgrade t...

You can make a whole billet 1200 bit by bit :) or at least an A series in bottom end by making the crankcase separate from the bore casings like the ingenious Crossley Engine :D then you can use any gearbox with a backing plate change that also strengthens bottom and the top block sections. http://c...
