The 510 Realm

The wagon was pretty bad, didn't have a rear bumper, mounting holes not even filled. I would have been ashamed to show in it at the local cars and coffee. Troy's built 510 was a lot nicer, I am sure there was some sleepless nights on that car to get it done in five weeks, but it did look nice. One c...

Is the flywheel on the VQ the factory dual mass one? If it is, it is very heavy, a Jim Wolf one is very light.

Good show this year, lots of Datsuns compared to previous years and a lot of them in the main show area, not in the shadows. Datsun's where the most popular marque of the Japanese at the show. Did notice that some of them seemed to be thrown together with not enough build time.

I am really looking forward to this years SEMA, at least two 510's will be there, the 2dr one that Troy Emish finished in five weeks and the Chris Forberg's wagon; https://youtu.be/gUh_ZD9IHUY Also M2 should be showing some of their die casts and rumor has it that Pete Brock's Datzilla will be on di...

And please don't paint it black.

Yes and theirs probably others. Another idea is to make the mounting plate also be the caliper mounting too, killing two birds at once.

Feel free to bitch slap me if you like, but if you're going to go to all the trouble of making a completely new control arm, why not make it so that you can use a bolt on hub like on many newer cars? This would effectively shorten the bearing area giving you more room for a longer shaft. My thought...

I wonder if the STI temp sensor would fit those diffs? That way you could monitor while driving. Do you think that loctite bearing retainer would work?

Do you have a gas lens on that torch? If you do, you can extend that tungsten out far enough to get in the corners without bending the flange.

Since I have had one since new, I am starting to feel real old,Thanks.

Thanks for the leg work!

I probably am sounding like a broken record today, but it's all in the "Bible", Trevor Harris doing his magic on the front wheel wells.

To add to the above comments, Racer Brown cams have an additional oil hole drilled in certain cam lobes, because they were not drilled in the correct location from the factory ( the factory drilled them in one machine set up) All this is covered in the " Bible". I would highly recommend th...

Thanks so much Derek for your generous offer for all us Datsun guys!

How about machining a thin O- ring groove in the adapters on the outer edge ?
