Is everybody here too young to remember these?

[hugo90]

The 510 was a pretty popular car, as an eceonomy transporter and as a fun driver. I had a 1971 station wagon. Drove it everywhere when my family was young. It seems as though the people on this forum are just too young to have ever had the pleasure to drive these early Datsuns.

We probably are too young... but there's lots of stuff about these cars on the web!
So, at least we can still see them.

i'm only 18, but the first time i saw one, i fell in love. i would love to have a '72 or so, 2 door. i'd put a newer engine in there, prolly a sr20det from a silvia. maybe a vg30... i dont know, but i love the way the look with panasports on them, not too flashy.

I'm only 18 also, and I love the 510. I almost got one for my first car. There is even the possibility that I'll have a '70-73 2dr in the near future.

I clearly remember loving the 510 even when I was still riding my Big Wheel around the neighbourhood! Great styling and lots of potential to look very aggressive in rally or road race trim.

Here's an old ad that I found on the web.

At 30 years old I have now owned 6 of them, from your basic get around kid car. To my last, a '70 with an L20B. Sold it when I moved to the East Coast. Finding one out here is a hard thing to do, not many clean ones around.
My dad had 26 of them before passing away. That is where I got my love for them.

[Turbo91SER]

Yes,
I used to drive 2 of them over almost 10 years. I regret selling them every day. My master plan is to get another one and do a RWD SR20DET swap.
Do anyone know of any "good" websites for any 510's?

I'm in the final stages of converting a 510 to VG30 power(EFI V6). I won't be doing much work on it until spring, but plan on driving it early next summer. I'll post pics when I'm done.

There are lots of 510 sites out there, and plenty of US cars around still. You should all know that of the remaining cars out there, few are still in stock condition. Most of these cars are already modified, so if anyone has a "Dream 510" in mind, I'm sure it's already been created by someone... and MIGHT be for sale.

Cheers.

Just saw another bluish-purple one zipping around in West L.A. Man, I'd love to have one of these... can take just about every Nissan motor! Funny, every time I see one, it's always tricked out real nice--rarely do I see a stock one.

[POS carb]

Man, that 510 is insane! That must be so damn fun to drive. I've been searching for one out here in SoCal because I want one to drop in a rotary motor...
Big power + light weight car = rice rocket killer and tons of fun

Oh, a good 510 website is www.fiveoneoh.com

:alien2:

[datsun510dude]

I know the guy who runs fiveoneoh.net, cool guy, also owns a sr20DET 510. Check my 510, i got a little bored today and I just ordered a flame kit.

Well im am in my mid twenties
The way I found them was my first car was a 79 corolla I loved that car and at the time there was some sort of following for these cars. I learned about the 510 and other older japanese imports from mainly pan am nationals. I looked for one for years and i found one three years ago but I couldn't afford it. I recently picked one up and feel in love. The first time I drove it nothing felt better. Some people may say oh no power steering. I think it gives a better feel for the road. Also this car handles like a dream. Lastly before I ramble to much one of my favorite things about the 510 is the fellow 510 nuts are the best. I have had VWs,subarus etc but the 510 guys always seem so nice and willing to give a helping hand and have tons of technical knowledge.
