    Default Datsun 510 sighting!

    i had some s2000 wheels listed and a guy came to get em today. I was expecting some type of truck to pull up and then i see this Datsun 510! what are the odds! This 510 was a paint job away from show quality, my digicam pics are not gonna do it justice.

    This guys mod list blew my mind, all kinds of crazy customization. It had the wheels off an impalla police car, the engine out of solstice, the read end out of an STI, the brakes off an STI.. it was crazy, every piece of this car was craftmanship. Tons of fabrication... awesome 510.. it really made my day seeing it pull up in my driveway.

    Thats badass, about the diff though. Datsun commissioned this company in the 60s to build their rear ends. Then in the 80s Subaru commissioned the same company to build theirs. So if you have a r160 open diff in your datsun, a subaru r160 diff with 4.10s and a lsd will swap in with some half shaft customization.

    Detail refinement is expected and welcomed.

    Also check out his clutch and master cylinder setup.
