The 510 Realm

The Targa 510 is coming along well but I don't think we are going to make the 2004 event, the 2005 for sure though. I'd like to get some time on it before we drag it all the way out to the "Rock". My son and I got 3 solid days into it this weekend. The exhaust is finally done, just need to...

No, the KYB GR-2 is not adjustable, it is a pre-pressurized gas type damper. These are ideal for rougher surfaces like you encounter on most daily driving and are relatively inexpensive. I paid $75 ea. CDN for the fronts and about $32 ea. CDN for the rears here in the Toronto area. The KYB adjustabl...

The KYB GR-2 front strut insert (gas) for the 280ZX struts is P/N 365013. The rear shock in the same make is P/N 343149. These are readily available from anyone selling KYB.

I used the 280ZX kit on mine and they fit fine - but I have Z32 front calipers and 280ZX rears. There are 6 lines in the kit, 2 long ones for the front, shorter ones fit the rear but you need to move the location where the lines connect to the body and re-route the hard lines behind the diff. The ki...

Yes you can use the Z31 rear bearing carriers/spindle. I would recommend the 280ZX rear calipers though since the parking brake cable brackets are on a more favourable angle.

Cheap = garbage! (I've seen a few) I have bought three of these in the past 12 months (one clip was a 180SX from PDM Racing in Vancouver, one Sylvia clip from Marcus Mizzi in Toronto and a spare motor/trans). Both clips had over 80,000 km on them but were good. Somebody tried to sell me an S14 VVT f...

I just checked into this a couple of weeks ago. The front bumber for cars produced after 3/72 (62650-N2800) is NLA. This is the one with the large mounting holes for the large rubber bumperettes. There is still some stock of the one used up to production dates of 2/72 (62650-21000) available in Japa...

Check your local (provincial or state) highway traffic act. In Ontario they are not legal for street use - has to be approved glass.

The "Euro" style lights are still available through Nissan. There is stock in the Vancouver warehouse, I have ordered a set. Thanks for the tip MikeY.

The 26120-A0600 & 26125-A0600 were used from 7/69 - 2/71. They are also NLA from Nissan. I'll check the euro P/N's you gave me MikeY.

I just found out about it last summer and my wife bought me a subscription for Christmas. It is published by "Inside Track Communications in Toronto. They also do the CASC race nes magazine called "Inside Track" I think as well as a couple of other car mags. It is a "national&quo...

Just got my March issue of Sport Compact National (Canada's ricer mag) yesterday. Did you guys and gals see the "Phatsun" (SR20DET powered 510) article in this issue? I met Pat Scialdone (owner of the car) at the Z-Fest car show last August in Oakville (Appleby College). What do you think?

I had a local Nissan parts guy here in the Toronto area (that has been in the business for over 20 years) check the Nissan parts database and he came up with nadda - no longer available. P/N 26120-N0900 & 26125-N0900. Somebody mentioned a possible supercedes to 26120-A0600 & 26125-A0600 whic...

Looking for a couple of nice turn signals for my 510 restoration project. Price I'm willing to pay depends on condition - I don't want ones where the inside of the metal housing has any rust. There is some guy on eBay selling a couple of NOS Euro turn signals for $150 US (insane!). I'm just looking ...

Where you mount the sway bar to the rear swing arm depends on what bar you are using as there are a couple of styles. If you are using the Whiteline bar that has the arms going up and over the half shafts, there is a mounting kit supplied with the bar that gives you the necessary hardware to bolt a ...
