Found this one on the japanese nostalgic car forums....beautiful
1971 Datsun 510 2dr
Made: 5/70
Clean Oregon Title
Engine
L20b
219 SSS head
Round top SU carburators (rebuilt by Ztherapy)
Electronic Distributor
Stock exhaust manafold coated in Thermodyne inside and out
(Has high compression and requires premium fuel. I have tried to get more detailed information about some of the internals from the previous owner but it is sort of a mystery. Likely using a L20 cam and flat top L18 Pistons)
Drivetrain
720 Pickup 5speed (installed a year ago, had it gone though by a transmission shop)
Limited slip differential with low gearing. (I don't know the ratio at the moment, it was installed by the previous owner. It is likely a 4.11)
Suspension
280ZX front struts and brakes
Rear disc brake conversion using 200SX rotors and Maxima calipers
Cut Dodge D50 front springs on the rear
KYB GR-2 shocks
KYB Strut inserts
Ground control front coilovers (150lb springs)
Quickor Rear sway bar
Slotted rear crossmember
1969 510 Front crossmember
DAMB Bumpsteer spacers
New MOOG tie rods
New MOOG ball joints
Thick front sway bar
New Idler arm Bushing
T/C rod kit
Savage washers
Poly Urathane tie-rod boots
Interior
Installed clean stock door panels
Subaru WRX front seats
Upholstered rear seat to match fronts
Coat of ZeroRust on the floors
Sound proofing on floors, fire wall and quarter panels
MB Quartz Front kick panel speakers
6x9 spears on the rear shelf
350Z air vents
New carpet in the cabin and trunk.
New chipboard panels in trunk (usually destroyed after 30 years)
Original spare and tools in trunk (jack, wheel chalks, etc)
Misc
H1 / H4 head light conversion with PIAA bulbs
Many parts were sand blasted and re-coated with a Yellow and Silver Zinc giving them a brand new factory look.
Grill and Bezzles powder coated (been on for 2 1/2 years and hasn't chipped once)
All trim pieces are clean an straight (always put on the cleanest pieces I could find)
NOS Euro front marker lights
White needle gauge cluster with tach.
That is all I can think of at the moment but should cover pretty much everything. Most of the work was either done by Kelvin Dietz himself or under the supervision of Kelvin (the builder of the blue VG30 car known as Smurf). Any shops the car went to were shops I chose because they had experience with Datsuns and did quality work.
Over all the only bad things about the car are some rust holes on the inner panels under the car near where the rear cross member mounts. I have treated the rust with Ospho covered it with ZeroRust and then covered the hole with gorilla duct tape (weather proof to prevent any further rust) then covered the tape with spray on bedliner. The only other thing is there is a minor crack in the dash pad. Other than that the car is in great shape. All other rust has been taken care of or panels were replaced. There are some small paint blemishes but it is to be expected with 10+ year old paint.
