The 510 Realm

can we see more hi res images of the roller? I followed the Photobucket link and it was a smaller shot...

I believe this is what you are looking for:



And the conversion from a standard instrument cluster to a SSS cluster:



Hope that helps!

Yes— we put 280ZX rear control arms in the “Strutless Wonder”, but also narrowed the pickup points on the crossmember to compensate for the wider width. As I recall, it increased the track by 3/4” on each side before mods.

I was recently in Tokyo and saw this concept car while visiting the Nissan Crossing showroom in Ginza. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/962/28376896848_d8bcb065a4_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/910/40442916970_4cf39723f7_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/978/27379558177_93d7607c11_b.jpg https://...

I have a KA24DE ECU/Wiring harness (unmodified) $200.

The engine appears to have an aluminum head, so that would make it a 1967-1970 SPL311 Roadster engine.

Battery I wanted to get the battery out of the engine compartment, but did not want it surfaced mounted in the trunk. We have had really good luck with Odyssey batteries, so I designed a simple battery box to drop down into the trunk. This box needed to be a compromise, I did not want it too deep w...

Amazing amount of work done!

You are more than welcome-- I would think that a L20B 4-speed is going to have a similar weight to a SR20DE/5-speed. There are quite a few guys who have done SR swaps into 620 pickups, but one of the issues is clearance with the idler to the alternator. It turns out our alternator relocation kit is ...

Intercooler Plumbing (AGAIN) After staring at this engine compartment for years, I was just not happy with a few aspects the intercooler and intake plumbing. My partner in crime Eric Straw had also convinced me to ditch the stock MAF and run a Haltech standalone EFI system which meant that we would...
