dude it is really different in Georgia. I know all the big 510 boys around here and they've already done everything but nobody is currently running a SR in one in the Atlanta area. Of course sr20 240sx are a dime a dozen all over the city but theres a couple rotary and KA 510s amongst other swaps whizzing around, SR is actually not the norm

I thought about sticking a wrx motor in there but I don't know how easy that would be as i dont know about RWD tranny options! could be fun

Sr20 or Vq35 would be great for this project. I cant complain with the Ls1 either .. but I think an Sr20 or Vq would be keeping it in the family, which is nice for a classic.

I had an early 68' with the revised frt x-member and shorter front struts. Ran a 1600 SSS motor. 280zx struts/brakes. Quickor frt/rear bars and 810 maxima wheels. Then ran turbo 200sx wheels.

Then I had a 70. Ran a 1800sss motor with the same mods. Had a build L20B with an original Cartech turbo kit but never put it in. Also had a JDM 12A turbo but again, never ran it.

SR20DET is the best choice. Small, light and very powerful. Even a measly 200hp would be scary.

That's so not out of the picture now that my old ball 1st gen G might have a legitimate ecu flashing option now. CobbTuning. I'm supposed to prototype one soon. Up to now, the only ecu option I had was TS and you have to send them your ecu. All other G/Zs have multiple options for tuning.

I was looking at the STS turbo. Yeah sorta cheeso but the dynos are impressive on it.

lol what do you expect from a Ga car 35 years old

but it only has surface rust, and very minimal. Not a hole anywhere in the entire body. It's a nice shell

In the end, how do you see this car finishing up to be (paint, bodywork, etc)? I had a soft spot for older japanese compact sport cars for some reason. Here is my friends 510:

My dad had a 510 station wagon

He was the Datsun master, owning a few in his time. I'll have to ask him what he had, seeming that I always forget

honestly the bodywork on this car is so minimal its not even funny...

just fixing some surface rust / getting the car painted.

a pretty stock sr20det transplant

upgraded brakes and misc important parts like that.

Leave the factory interior in there for a while, it's in real good shape.

Go from there

i've been trying to get one for 6 years. My 280 was a backthought as I got sick of waiting.. but the 280z really grew on me, but between it and this I have always loved the 510 the most. It's going to be my daily driver
