welcome home lady

the beast is home

wanted one of these for a long time

 

I hate you

 

i still love you dear

 

its in good shape, does it run? I would love to drive that thing it looks sweet

 

no motor in the car? but sometime in the relatively near future sr20det. Hope to have it running by the summer

 

Is dryer collecting another hobby?

 

LOL + 1. Actually my landlord owns all the dryers in there.. only 1 works

and Javier bardem ftmfw

 

nice lil drag car.....if setup properly.

 

Nice. I like the color too!

 

Ah geez first the old school z now this one too!! I gotta say I cant wait to see what this one will look like when done.

 

i saw one of those with an S2000 engine in it, ran well into the low 14's if i recall right... maybe try that?

 

RB25 :P

 

Do something different!

 

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

 

sounds like LOTS of fun man.

 

Classic, clean for it's age.

 

Drop a ls1 in it.

 

My boy would kill for this. I just picked up a 80 Corolla lift back. RWD too. mmmm... a lot of fun. GL with it man.

 

Touche....

RWD VQ35?

 

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.

 

NO pics.

 

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.

 

I'm noticing an ongoing trend

i spotith rust

sr20det swap gets my vote

 

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

 

That 510 is sweet reminds me of highschool those were around in my erawith all types of mods. Even threw in a coupleof rotary motors in them .Where did you get that one and how much did you pay for it If you dont mind me askin GL with it.

 

^^^^^(510)looks really good.i like.

 

... i've been looking for one of those for SO DAMN LONG!!! its just not fair!

 

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

 

omg pure sexy ness...

 

yo lex you find the baddes cars man, mad props.

 

Grats!!!

 

very nice...cant wait to see it done..

 

Cant wait for the turn out.

 

Strap in a couple of Boosa motors. That would be hella different!

 

it looks like crap , sell it to me



Jk , good find , I almost purchase one before, some guy bought it the day I went to go see it
