Re: Datsun 510 front side marker information

Let's talk about the PL510 front side markers, specifically the "early" versions; the thin arrow-shaped lights. I have seen three different versions, and I want everybody to give their input on what goes where, and from when and where it originated (I'm confusing myself already with my po...

Re: Differential Options

My question would be, can you swap out the 3:54 gears from an R-160 VLSD and put them in an R-160 CLSD? I have both, but, I would really like the 3:54 gears. Anyone? Possibly, in the past ive swapped a Subaru Liberty vlsd R160 centre into a Subaru Leone open R160 before so the gearing may well inte...

Re: WTB: Wiper Pivot Arm Mounts

Theyre not totally gone. I'd soak em in penetrine to loosen the rust, weld on a new 5mm stud or three, wire brush the rust off the shaft and the hole it goes into on the flange part, zinc plate both parts back to new, grease up the shaft when reassembling, buy new rubber shaft seals (Ebay) and make ...

Re: Fuel line, brake lines - originally painted?

"-not worth the additional effort, just buy a new set of hard lines to get a new, shiny-er and modern anti-corrosion finish?" While the oem lines are out. Buy a new tube flaring kit, a cheap tube bender and some lengths of new fuel bundy (annealed?) tube. Copy the bends of the original and...

Re: FS : 1800 grille

What you show on the left is the standard 510 grill (USA and others) with a SSS badge in the center. The grill on the right with the raised center is what's known as the SSS grill, and would typically have a SSS badge on the right as you look at it on the car. You'd see the raised-center grill on a...
