Yea motor had 0 metal shavings just dark oil nothing crazy tho. Supposivly the motor is recently rebuilt but god only knows. My floor pan isnt to bad its only in the front at the bend where the floor and the firewall pans overlap. We are just going to make a panel since its a smooth bend.

lol I might still take it. I think I got shafted with this motor trans. Theres metal in the trans and not sure on the motor... Yep anubis. Pretty much 0 rust, theres a little but noting crazy 2 spots on the rocker panels near the rear tires an the pas floor pan where it bends up to the firewall...

Just letting everyone know whats going on with the datsun. Got a couple new pics and a pic of the motor I bought to put in it.

I joined ratsun, they have an awsome parts page, just like here on dsm tuners but for datsuns. I saw they make a kit to make the ka24 carb'ed,, looks awsome!

Yea I have been really looking for a ka. I was hearing the reason they change the suspension to 280zx is the struts are shorter making the car lower and it supposivly gets rid of the steering box. I have been trying to look up as much as I can but I cant really find alot. As far as my 510 is...

Love the pics! I never really was a huge 4door guy tho. I kinda liked the wagons tho. I have been checking out the 510realm and it seems nice so I might join, Ill have to look at the dime site, never heard of it. The car is already set up for the ka20de when i found it it had one in it so I dont...

Thanks for the info anubis. Hadent really looked to far into it for how much money it took to get the 350 in it just saw a few. Im still looking for a motor idea im back and forth between a sr20de ...non turbo, and a 13b or a ka24de. I want something I can enjoy driving, Not constanly having to...

Anubis, google 510 with a 350 and see how many you get. Its a commom swap nowadays and you have plenty of room from side to side with clearance. You also do not have to throw some rediculous hood scoop on it to close the hood. The 510s have a wide variety of motors that can be placed in them...

Alot of people I know keep saying put a 350 in it. Simple motor big power and it does fit in the 510, its a common swap.

Ill keep everyone posted on whats going o.I havent quite settled on a motor yet but Im not looking for a racecar. I have always loved 510s and thats why im getting the car. The rotory motor was an idea from the guy im buying the car from he is really good with them and suggested it. I dont think...

Yea Ill post pics on here when I start tearing into it. The reason Im going the 13b way is the guy wants to help with the car and see it get driven, He is really good with rotory motors so Im not just jumping into something that will screw me over in the long run.

I have a few mor pics of the 510. Its been dissasmbled and prepped but has sat for a long time. I guess it was a newmexico car and he drove there and pulled it back.

Im going rotory. The guy im getting it from has had it a long time and didnt wanna get rid of it but knows I love 510s and it will still be around so he wants to be a part of the build. He does alot of rotory and megasquirt, he said it should be really easy and there is a place in my town that...

Yea got some pics its all there just dissasmbled.LOL everyone can hate as much as you want let it all out but im still in love with the car.Theres no rust its all metal very very little filler all there except a couple missing interior pieces and the origonal motor and trans but im going to...

Havent had my dsm long enough to even drive it down the road but I got an offer I cant refuse. Trading my now running and driving with a few bugs dsm for a roller shell Datsun 510 2 door thats 100% rust free with a 240 motor sitting in it. So excited to finally get a 510. Ill still be running...
