Is everybody here too young to remember these?

Mind you on the performance numbers above -- as quoted from the website...

"The power figure in the above table was achieved with a cheap, low-volume fuel pump that caused detonation due to lean-out. A good pump might have let the dyno curve (see below) continue at the same rise rate to a power figure of 156kW (208HP) at 6500 RPM. Assuming a 30% loss in the driveline this equates to an estimated flywheel figure of 223kW (297HP)! "

And all that from just 8 psi! Not to mention the guy has/will replace the pump for a 15 psi capable boost!

510 is an awesome car -- anyone able to actually find one on the east coast in good shape should pick it up.

for anyone who's in southern california, there's this little used car place around my school that sells this CLEAN blue five-dime. It's all chromed out and has blue powdercoated rims. don't know how much it's selling for, but i look at it everytime i drive by. haha. I'm only 15 and i really like old school cars and the 510 is one of my favorites. I'm not a die-hard fan, but i think old school datsuns are the coolest.

theres tons of modifed ones here, some very poorly, some nice, theyre called datsun 1600's here, and we only got the 4 door version.

My brother has a '72 2-door 510. He bought it for $1000. It used to be my dads car and has been through about 2 other people. What is a YG30 out of? Just wondering. And also is the SR20DET Silvia engine a good engine for the 510? And how much do they cost? well thanks!!!

SR20DET is a good swap. I'm planning the same for my 510s...

Keep a cover on it for now...

When you return back to the States, you'll have something to play with.....

I had a '71 510 and I loved it....I got it because my friend had a '72 2 door and I drove it and fell in love with it.....so when I got the money and found one.....I bought a '71 4 door that already had a L20B and was converted from auto to a datsun 280z 5 speed with posy trac, it still had the b&m auto decal on the back so it was a real sleeper....it was the stock lime green color and needed some body work.....it was lowered on 15in 5 spoke rims....I drove it and loved it so I bought it for $1200 cash.....man was I stoked! This was my first car and I owned it...I was 19.
Well I had to put in storage after the brakes failing and rearending a 84 pontiac firebird....I left in storage in nor cal and moved to Orlando,fl and kind of forgot to pay rent for storage and I think that they probably sold it....sucks ass....I miss her! I will eventually have another one though!!!!

If it's any consolation, they are becoming more available in the East Coast at affordable prices. If you're ever in the hunt for one, let me know what you're looking for and what your budget is. I love my 510!

[Smoakie976]

Thanks boss I just talked to my friend and he said that he would sell me his because it is just sitting around and he has no time to do anything with it. It is a '72 two door just like yours, only white! he has a nap z 24 in it and this car hauls ass...way faster than mine was....that car is why I wanted a five ten ....only i drove it while it still had a 1600 in it! Thanks though...if I ever need one because something else happens I will let you know.....right now I can't afford anything though!

[Toyrolla]

Cool.....


.....by the way, that pic I posted isn't my car....God, I wish it was, but I'm not one to take credit for someone else's work...

just clarifying a bit.....hehehehehe

You are thinking VG30DE.. out of the latest 300zx non turbo.


I too am a lover of the 510, and will eventually own one.

[Turbo Zupra]

Toyrolla, do you know of any two doors here in the East, preferably SouthEast for sale and in decent shape? My 300ZX needs a sister....
