  • 71 Four Door Datsun 510

    Hello! First off, my names Raph. You might remember me from my old 69 510 build thread:

    Build threads here >>>>>http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8894

    I have since sold my old 69 as a shell and stripped it of all its goodies and bought a straighter, yet still rusty 71 four door. My goal was to pretty much turn the new four door into the old four door. When I first bought the 71, it had a single cam ka, horrible interior with no back seat or carper, cut springs in the rear and blown shocks all around, and hideous drag wheels. Now it has:
    14x7 SSR Longchamps
    1 inch spacers in the rear and 5mm in the front
    T3 Coilovers in the rear
    Groundcontrol coils up front with MR2 inserts
    200sx Vented brakes
    Camber plates
    Bumpsteer spacers
    Front sway bar
    Dual cam
    KA24DE
    OBX Header
    CAI
    full 2 1/2in exhaust with a somewhat quieter turbo muffler
    Datsun 510 rear spoiler

    Parts that i still need to put on:
    Poly Bushings kit
    Rear sway bar
    rear brakes
    new ball joints
    Front bre spook

    My goal is to take it to JCCS this year, and still has some stuff that need to be done to make the extra long trip. Still would like to replace the tie rods and get an alignment after i install all my bushings and control arms. Body work and paint is in its near future. Alright, on to the pics! (Sorry for the horrible Iphone pics)

      Your old Datsun is such an inspiration to me. Obviously not to my car... but to me. IT WAS LIKE MY FAVORITE. Can't wait to see how this one comes along! Looks great already.

          I almost purchased your car back when it was first for sale! Absolutely love the old one and the new one too. Hopefully I'll see you at some shows, and if you ever want a shoot I'm just over in Kirkland.

          Keep it up man!

            Thanks for the love guys! Here's a shitty interior and engine bay shot to hold you off until I snap some better ones.

              This car.

              I love it. I actually think I have a picture of your car saved on my computer somewhere.

                              I pretty much stole mine. traded for a V6 510 i got for extra cheap. But it sold for 3500 i think before i got it.
