Bump, love the car and love the fact you are in WA. I have always wanted a 510 and I continue to pursue one

Thanks for the love. There are a ton of us in the area. If youre serious about finding one, shoot me a message and Ill help you out.


Been awhile since Ive been on here. Here are some updated pictures:

Stopped by a local place to get my new sunroof installed. Finally no more leaking seal. Im so happy with the install... it doesnt leak, its now a double-pop, the area around the frame is 100 times cleaner, and the hardware isnt as rusty. I want to thank Tdaaj again for the sweet deal on the sunroof:








Before:


After:



Ive got about a week or so before the sealant used fully cures, then I can unscrew the inside frame and put the headliner back up. Until then, Ill probably just use some clear tap to keep it out of the way and looking decent.

Wow... so I havent updated this in awhile. I switched jobs, had no money, then got some money, lost it to bills, and now Im in school and doing well. Anyway, heres a condensed version from another forum to catch you guys up.

I had been collecting parts over the Winter-

Fender mirrors:



Cleaned up the bike carbs and mocked up the JDM air cleaner assembly:



Bought a new sunroof to replace the leaky one:



Rare JDM Coupe grille and emblem:



Stainless visors:



JDM Deluxe emblems:



Picked up some NOS Euro front turn signals:



Installed the visors:







Bought a whole second dash so that I can refinish it and swap it into the car with minimal downtime:



Disassembled the dash:



New dash cap to replace the cracked piece:

beautiful.

+1 for the trunk option

Yeah its headed for the trunk. I was going to do it half-assed so I could just get it out of the bay quickly, but Im going to do it right. Ill have have to save a little more for the items Ill need for the relocation.

Like the look of your engine bay! The baby blue intake is awesome! I would go for the battery relocation in the trunk!

Thats as close to what we call "Nissan Blue..." its the cleaners OEM color. Id like to find reproduction decals for it, but thats not going to happen. NLA.

I like how you snuck in a picture of that woman's cleavage.

Like a bawse

Thanks again for the compliments everyone. I havent done much work over the last week or so as Ive been busy building websites. That just means Ill have more money for parts.

More powder work:


Installed pictures once I get new caps for everything (radiator, oil, and overflow)

Engine bay looks fantastic, the battery relocation will do wonders for your already-stellar bay.

Its going to happen... I have two options right now. Either buy a smaller sealed battery and utilize my brand new battery cables by placing the battery on the passenger floor. Or pick up set of new longer cables and run the battery in the trunk.
